    Tim Fisher's 25,000 claim......

    Yeah, and probably before the offices next to the old college, so it would certainly need looking at again.

    32,000 sold already

    The front rows of those blocks in the upper tier you mention were originally not released for sale for some reason. I think 248 relates to some of the seats that were reserved by the club - possibly for staff, player families etc. and those unsold have been released. The others dotted around...

    Mr Fisher said......

    Could be wrong, but isn't FFP based on revenues in previous seasons? After tomorrow our average will be around 9K which based on league 2 this season would make us the second best supported club. It is a reasonable assumption that we COULD have a top 8 budget. Support will plummet next season...

    Tim Fisher's 25,000 claim......

    The quote from Jon Sharp in May 2016 was: "The current lease has planning permission for a 13,000 seater stadium, this could be easily replicated and expanded. This is from when the stadium was first built, 11 years ago. The initial study indicated that a ground holding as many as 25K could...

    Tim Fisher's 25,000 claim......

    Well, quite. SISU's inability to deliver on anything makes it all very unlikely. The key point though, in the context of the thread and wider discussion on capacity, is that the 25K feasibility is simply being repeated by the club. It was CRFC who declared it is feasible based on a study they...

    Tim Fisher's 25,000 claim......

    From the SCG minutes from May 2016 (at which Jon Sharp was present). It seems that the 25K possibility came from a study undertaken when the stadium was first built 11 (now 12) years ago: Butts Park Arena Proposals Jon Sharp (JSH), Chairman of Coventry RFC, introduced himself to the group and...

    Tim Fisher's 25,000 claim......

    I don't believe it is made up - I think the 25K figure was first mentioned when this possibility first came up a year or so ago. In fact, I think it was included in the minutes of an SCG meeting where somebody from the rugby club was in attendance (or there was meeting at which a CRFC...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Putting aside all the politics, on a technical level, 25,000 is possible. I was speaking to an architect who is also a city fan, and he said it is feasible, but it would require a walkway adjacent to the railway line to create another access point to Albany Road. The Butts already has planning...

    Tomorrow

    If you want to drink near the ground, and if you are all over 18, go in the casino (next to main entrance) - you can walk straight in, but if you look under 25 you might need id. If you have kids, there is The Mill, which is part of the stadium hotel. Other than that, there are a number of...

    Visiting Coventry City for first time

    I wouldn't worry about that, our attendances this season are the lowest in our entire history. You can pay cash to get in, so no need to buy a ticket in advance.

    Wednesday will be a nightmare for those who only have a stub and have to queue, especially as the t/o doesn't open until 90 minutes after tickets are released online. I can feel the anger brewing already :happy:

    Nah, there's only about 600 eligible in this window. Still plenty on Weds, but I do think they'll be pretty much all gone by the end of Wednesday.

    Angry

    There is anger, plenty of it, and it has spilled over this season a number of times. Four games disrupted, two pitch invasions, protests everywhere. But there seems to be battle fatigue in certain quarters. It's five years of this shit, nothing we have done has made any difference. I'm all...

    Match Thread Coventry v Swindon Match Thread - Saturday 25th Feb

    Just feel numb. Today just confirmed what we already knew, so can't get too worked up about it. Don't have the energy. No point picking apart the performance. We're down, and I doubt the manager or many of the players will be here next season. Not sure what we do between now and the end of...

    City Kits and associated players - part 2!

    It was 12,500. Lowest gate of that season. The average was only 16,000 that season,but they started to rise the year after that and were around the 20K mark for a last 4 or 5 PL seasons.

    It's 20,000. It doesn't really matter now. Sales will slow to a trickle until the next big rush in a couple of weeks. Everyone can take a breath.

    Went in top tier once, thought view was fine actually, but I was fairly close to the front.
