So true, the idea that is is the same 12K every week, and not simply a case that crowds , excluding ST holders, are made up from a large pool of fans who'll pick and choose games. Like the idea someone who goes Sunday but not to Reading, and someone else who does the opposite, are part of the...

£500 bet right now that we will get more than 12K home fans for every single home league game this season (Covid capacity restrictions excluded).

I don't think it'll be as low as you think. They'll be a good walk up, and it'll be one of the biggest crowds of the weekend - despite all the factors like TV, kick-off time and the fact it is the 1st time we've broken to £30 barrier in our history. Even had a call off our kid this morning who...

What if it's 21,000; that's 17.2K City, or what if it is 22K? What sort of crowd do you think we should be getting for this game? When does it go from poor to OK?

Not only have my 4 ST replacements not arrived, but a couple of tickets I purchased for family 8 days ago not turned up either. They can't really keep the ticket office closed tomorrow surely?

Oh yes, it did decline year on year: 2012 15,119 2011 16,310 2010 17,305 2009 17,408 2008 19,123 2007 20,342 2006 21,302 My point was, that even in 2011 at 16.3K, it was the 11th highest average out of the 24 clubs, so many of these clubs that were taking the piss every...

Like I say, really hope you manage to swerve it and all is well with the family. I would certainly go the game if I tested negative before I left the house, but we all make different choices, and I wasn't having a pop so hope it didn't come across like that, but I do get frustrated by some of...

Sorry Pete, not judging you, but I'm baffled by this. People seem to have lost the ability to think rationally and properly assess risk. So, despite being double vaccinated (recently, so you're as protected from this as you're ever going to be, this is as good as it gets), and despite testing...

You do have to cringe sometimes. That said, we're far from the worst culprits. I take the occasional look at other clubs and some of the abuse the twitter admin gets is unbelievable. It's an absolute cesspit that place.

Do you have to miss it though? If you are double vaccinated and if you do a test on the morning of the game and it is negative, why do you have to isolate? We're only a few days away from that being official government advice anyway, but it has been what most people have been doing for months...

It was sung occasionally, and most often in League 1 and I'm sure we've sung it plenty ourselves at others. In the Championship our average gates were between 17.5K and 21.5K apart from our relegation season when it slipped. Comfortably top half of the division, which it will be again this season.

Sales are slow for a lot of clubs this weekend. Derby, Cardiff, Preston, Stoke and Blackburn - loads of empty seats at all these grounds, these are teams playing on a Saturday, not on TV, and they all have cheaper tickets available, but they're miles from being sell outs. There are also 3 days...

No we didn't.

I think the point is that by the time they get to general sale there won't be many left of the initial allocation and not enough time to get more tickets. Of course, there will be pay of the gate I imagine, albeit with a price increase I believe, but no real stress. Not sure why they have...

Should be general sale earlier, these won't shift before general sale, you won't get 20% of season ticket holders getting one so it won't leave any time for an additional allocation.

Prices are great, under 12s free. But our prices are cheapest in the league blah blah...

They wouldn't give me the time of day. There is nothing to confirm, it is clearly a joint venture, Dal Dhillon actually said recently; "We are elated to announce this new joint venture with Coventry City Football Club." On what basis are you doubting it's a joint venture?

No, fully open. That refurb was done specifically for the football season.

We'll have our allocation but they won't go on sale while the understaffed ticket office are having to print and post a shit load of paper tickets for Sunday. That's all it will be.

But they wouldn't need to make a capital investment in order to receive royalties. Why would they? It will be a licensing arrangement. Dhillons invest the capital, the club give it their official stamp and drive business their way, and revenues are somehow shared. The amount of oxygen the...
