Leicester won the league in their one and only season in L1 which would have had an impact. Why have there been many occasions over the years when we have average more than both of those clubs when playing at the same level? Gates fluctuate for all clubs over time and there are lots of...

Yes we did. The last 3 seasons we spent at HR in the PL the average was over 20K.

This is nonsense though, not even close to being true because people often grossly overstate how big Coventry is by using the city population (which is often a false figure based on an artificial line drawn on a map) to the metro area/urban area population. For example, people can argue all day...

With corporate sales which aren't visible we will have sold over a 1000 in the first week. There are still 2 weeks before pay day for many, 3 weeks to the end of the early bird and 6 weeks to the start of the season, so plenty of time for sales.

I dislike the Ricoh immensely for many reasons, and if there was another option in Coventry I'd be all over it, but I think the atmosphere thing is a bit of a myth. It can be flat of course, but there have been many occasions when it has been excellent. So often over the past 8 or 9 years I've...

The reality will be that crowds will be down hugely on last season. That's a given. People are talking up ST sales and encouraging those who are wavering, but that comes from a good place. We just would hate to see people turn their backs on the club because of the misguided belief that we...

Bit harsh. Yeah, he did have a good crop of players to work with - Wilson, Fleck, Leon Clarke, Baker, Cyrus Christie, Moussa etc. but it was a difficult situation and he handled himself well. Decent bloke. Didn't work out and he had to go, but not bitter towards him in the slightest.

It is relevant, because fans of the clubs playing Albion will often go into Birmingham City Centre, as Man City fans did on that day. Yes, Villa played Blackburn at home on the same day as we played at Blues when we took 5000. It was FA Cup weekend, and the Villa game was moved forward to a...

We played Blues at St Andrews on a day Villa were at home a few years ago. There are often a number of fixtures taking place in the Birmingham area on the same day. When we played Walsall a few years back, Man City were playing at Albion and Blues were at home and there were fans of...

542, not including premium seats and corporate. They'll be a trickle of sales over the next couple of weeks I suspect, with a couple of spikes, one around the end of the month for payday and another at the early bird deadline. I've got two but will have to wait till payday to get another 2...

CW and John Stretton. They couldn't make it more obvious if they tried.

Jesus wept, just got involved with some of those twitter nutters. Absolutely bat shit crazy the lot of them.

I'd say that was the best piece he's ever written on the issue.

I've just counted 387. Yep, no life whatsoever. I guess with corporate and boxes which aren't shown, we're probably heading towards 500. Box prices are pretty decent actually. £4K for a box of 10. Pretty decent option if you can get 10 people together.

Well, we'll agree to disagree then. People often overestimate the traffic impact. The Kassam Stadium is connected by a single road in and out which is single lane in places (which I am not saying is in any way ideal). Of course there would need to be a travel plan and it would have to be...

For me, the only viable option is somewhere around Warwick University. Perhaps in partnership with the university itself in some way. The benefits being that it would be just outside the city boundary, and crucially because the Uni and the business parks around it handle thousands of car users...

Just a random mobile number that I don't recognise. Bought my ST and that came through a few minutes later. Bit odd.

Has anyone else just had that statement come through by text message?

Gilbert already claiming that part of the statement is incorrect.

Yeah, similar layout to the Ricoh I guess.
