    The queues

    The issue with buses or park and rides is that you'll have a period before the match when people stagger their journeys up, but after the game everyone wants to get on a bus. We used the Whitley park and ride when the Arena opened but one Saturday we stood for nearly an hour in the rain to get...

    The queues

    I’m getting old and crotchety probably but the queues at every game are really starting to annoy me. When crowds are regularly bigger, surely as a venue you need to find new ways to check and admit people in good time, whether that’s different processes, more staff, opening more gates, and...

    FA cup replay

    It wasn’t the £2 - as I said we bought tickets anyway - it was missing our season ticket window again and losing our regular seats, not being able to add the tickets to our cards etc. I just think we should have longer to buy is all

    FA cup replay

    We missed the reduced season ticket holder window again! Our fault but working and got lots on so keeping up with social media posts etc. with ticket news was too far down the to do list. When it's likely a lower gate, why not keep season ticket prices open longer? We've bought elsewhere at the...

    FA cup replay

    I must have been just ahead of you! A chap came past with a clicker thing counting people. He went a few people past me and stopped.

    Our fans have been in great voice from the start. You’d think we were at home. Well played boys and girls

    I dont miss Highfield Road anymore

    The CBS is hugely improved as a footballing home for CCFC. The pitch, Club shop, branding etc. I’d like the pre match queues to be sorted. It felt unsafe at times before the game in Saturday with Leicester fans pushing through the queue. It was packed so tight if it had kicked off it could have...

    Leicester

    Me too on the rivalry front. Villa every time. Moldovan, John Gregory getting sacked in the morning……… That said a full Arena and the atmosphere we can create in it, like we did for the Birmingham City game last season, gets my pulse racing. C’mon you Sky Blues

    I’d love to know more about Dr Claire-Marie Roberts, the new Performance Director will be doing and what different she’s expected to make. It seems ax really positive developed to have such an experienced professional in this role at our club

    The turnstile queues by block 16 are really starting to annoy me. We know how many season tickets are sold and how many have been purchased on a one off basis so why is it so badly organized. You have people patiently queuing because that’s what you have to do only for people to come and...

    Empty seats

    My season ticket, which I’ve had since the move to the Ricoh, is in the affected area and whilst I completely support the introduction of safe standing in the ground, I do not stand all game and want to have a seat available to me. Hence me being interested in how the club plan to manage the...

    Empty seats

    Is this honestly the consultation for the safe standing? Is there no survey asking specific questions like do you support its introduction, if you are a season ticket holder in an affected seat will you renew there? Is there no information on which to respond like what the standing will look...

    Empty seats

    yesterday had the usual number of lads come past me in block 16 who headed up into the corner. We’re higher up than where the stewards check tickets. Won’t account for all the empty seats but buying and moving over to the corner will be a few. i think a few people bought ST caught up in the post...

    Merry Christmas

    Happy Christmas everyone. The lads got me a win at Sunderland for my birthday and now I want a win on Boxing Day for Christmas. Comes on you Sly Blues. Really looking forward to tomorrow. I’m on here reading and thinking about it while peeling sprouts 😂

    Excellent post robbiekeane. Thanks for posting something I’ve often thought but not been brave enough to say myself.

    Season tickets

    I've heard people saying they can't renew next year because under the new TV deal, more games are likely to be switched away from Saturday 3pm. If your work pattern or other commitments don't allow you to make it on Friday or Monday nights or lunchtimes, what do you do? Could be an interesting...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    He did well last night and unlucky not to score with that shot that hit the woodwork. You can see what his qualities are, qualities that will come to the fore as he gains in confidence and gets match sharp.

    The season ahead......

    Last night was disappointing but I’ve been telling myself since early summer that unless we were very lucky, the scale of the changes to the squad would be a barrier to us doing well, at least early on in the season. Too many new players , some who are new to the country, the Championship, or...

    King et al vs SISU

    For me the big difference is it feels like owner, club and fans are all rowing in the same direction now. We might all have our grumbles and uncertainties but we're largely putting them aside, giving credit where it's due or being realistic about Rome wasn't built in a day. For the first time in...
