    Sky Blues Tavern and the Anecdote

    Yesterday was much busier than it has been recently, so wait times were unusually long. Most games you'll get served pretty quick.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 11th Mar

    Fair result really. Just relieved we came away with something. I thought Hull were half decent. We're not going to make play offs, I don't think anyone really believes that, it too much to ask of this squad with O'Hare, Palmer, Sheaf and Allen out. That we're competing still and picking up...

    Hull crowd

    Looking very healthy now, as it should be tbh, huge game this. Dhillons busy from midday. Sense a big walk up too.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 11th Mar

    Crowd looking decent, especially if block 27 also pretty full today with the community tickets. Decent walk up and should be biggest home turn out of the season.

    South Stand home end?

    Oh, agree with that, they were excellent, but just the comments I have seen them make. The corners do have better acoustics though I think.

    Old Time Violence

    I think last year RM took 800 to Barcelona. Distance is an issue of course, but Germany has an away day culture with big followings and some big distances. I think it's more cultural. They just don't travel in Spain. Playing games Sunday evening doesn't help. The other issue there is...

    South Stand home end?

    Yeah, I recall it was part of a push to get fans behind both goals, but they wouldn't sell match tickets in there so it never took off.

    South Stand home end?

    This is true. Since Middlesbrough fans moved from the corner to behind the goal they say it has had a negative affect on the atmosphere.

    South Stand home end?

    I find it bizarre how we talk about fans mingling outside being this big head-scratcher that we have to find a solution for. As others have said, look at every other ground in the country. At HR the WT would exit around 20 yards away from the away fans exit. At the Ricoh, from 2005-2017...

    Old Time Violence

    One of the very noticeable things when I lived out there was the lack of any sort of away fan culture. It's the thing I like most about the English game. We have teams in the 5th tier taking thousands away, but when I watched Mallorca you'd sometimes see only 10-15 away fans, even Barca it...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Hull City Match Thread - Saturday 11th Mar

    I don't think anyone is jumping on his back. It is a little surprising though in this day and age when it's all about marginal gains. I suspect Hull players would have all been in their hotel rooms on a 9pm curfew. That said, trust the guy, he has earned that like you say.

    Average away support

    The big allocations are to come. Blackpool, QPR, Blackburn and Wigan, although the last two are midweek which is a bummer. We've only had one big allocation all season, and that was midweek at Preston.

    Fan Village?

    There are still plenty of places to get a drink though. Dhillons is 200 yards, 3 bars at the complex itself and 5 or 6 more within 15 mins. It's a lot better than it used to be, and better than many grounds tbf.

    That's played every week in Dhillons. Never been sung on the stands mind..

    It all comes full circle. Kids get older and you get your second wind. You'll be standing on the seats in block 15 again in no time.

    Great day. I recall we were on MOTD that night and John Motson (I think) mentioned this at the start of the 2nd half.

    Blocks 2 & 3..

    As a seasoned veteran of ticket sale checking, I've noticed how Thursday is always a slow day, perhaps as it is after the postal cut off. Friday is always the busiest day by far, lots of people finish work early and head up in person. Stil hopeful for a decent turn out.

    Blocks 2 & 3..

    Well I wasn't wrong because tickets were taken off sale. There were people in this thread who had attempted to buy but couldn't and this was verbally communicated at the ticket office to somebody buying in person. If you raising this issue has resulted in a rethink, then maybe we should be...

    Blocks 2 & 3..

    My reply was entirely in keeping with the tone of your post, which questioned the legitimacy of this thread. What do you mean 'should have reached out directly'? To whom? This is just a discussion amongst ourselves about this latest intervention and previous measures. We are allowed to discuss...

    Hull crowd

    I am quoting conurbation sizes as these are a truer reflection of the size of a place than 'city' populations which are often meaningless as they are determined by artificial lines on a map drawn by civil servants. You acknowledge that but seem to have come up with your own system of determining...
