Poor turn out by Gillingham so far considering their top of the league. Shows what a small club they are though with a poor following

They will bring about 900 which is a great following considering the distance and the size of the club. We took about 350 to them last season.

The online system was showing 4,441 tickets available on Monday morning.

Just checked and that's now fallen to 1,375.

Looking fairly promising!

Hopefully then they will need to start opening the Telegraph stand

Would hope they open the bottom rows and not block by block, think that would look much better.

Coventry City look set to achieve their highest home attendance of the season with strong pre-sales ahead of the Gillingham game.


Ticket sales are currently 1500 up on previous games at this stage with a busy day of purchasing expected by the club.


The club hope to reach 14,000 for the game against Gillingham which sees the two top sides in League One battle it out at the Ricoh Arena.

If we keep winning you are likely to encounter this problem again cc4life. Depending how many vouchers you have left, have you considered exchanging them for a half season ticket?? In my experience, the ticket office staff would be more than willing to help you.

Worked for me. About a month ago I had bought individual tickets for the next 3 home games. Then decided to upgrade to a ST so called the ticket office, picked the seat I wanted from the CCFC online ticket page, explained my problem with the 3 tickets already purchased, they did the maths, I paid over the phone and ST arrived in the post a couple of days later.

Saves any future hassle and no problems about getting the seat I want. Plus it works out about £13 per match.

As it is going to be a reasonably good crowd, I have a request. If your seat isn't in block 15, don't use mine!! I will be there!

There is a poster on Gills really boring forum for a really small club called 'Schoolboy error' or something. Don't normally highlight plebs but this one keeps banging on about how bored we must be trying to guess the gate for Saturdays game. Just really highlights how bored he must be to keep checking what we are discussing. Oh dear the irony...He also thinks that the attention on this topic is because it's Gillingham we are playing......oh dear

if their forum was buzzing he wouldnt be on here lol

gonna buy online and get posted,use match vouchers another day

money money money but fuck it

cheers pal, will go tomorrow morning

Id have Biggi and turner on the bench. Don't disrupt the defensive partnership right before such a big game.

Armstrong and kent both starting, with Lameras and MAF dropping to the bench. Murphy and Kent out wide and put Jim in the middle.

3-2 Armstrong hatrick. 15'101.

Can we merge the 2 different threads please so people don't keep posting in different ones

I'm actually looking forward to the games days in advance now.
Last year it was almost a chore on the day. Prematch drink did help.

Last season was definitely a chore I looked foward to meeting the lads and having a good few beers got to the point where we would debate even leaving the pub to go to the game, if we didn't already have tickets I'm sure we wouldn't of but this season is the complete oposite there's excitement building up through the week and come match day its a feeling ive not felt as a city fan for a long time if not ever long may it continue!

One sleep left. Starting to get excited and I can't even go to the game

Was going to have a large bet on us for this. Turner to start and Bigi to come on at about 60 mins is my guess and fills me with confidence. But I don't like short odds. Out of my 3 accounts I can get 6/5 or 11/10. 5/2 on Gillingham and about the same for the draw. Even the bookies fancy us for this game.

If we go top, I will put a copy of the league table all over my pub. Will wind up my HSV fans. So long since we had hope of acheiving anything more than survival.

I only realised this morning, that we won't just go top if we win, but three points clear. What an opportunity this is for us. If we can do it and keep up the good run over christmas we could be 5/6 points clear come January.
