For the first time ever I agree with you. I think I need a lie down.

But its not, its dirt cheap to take a family (providing by family you mean kids as well). It costs £11 to watch football in the 7th tier (ie Southern Premier or equivalent). £18 - £24 for 3rd tier football is perfectly reasonable. I appereciate for some price is an issue but for an awful lot...

What evidence is there to back this up? Gillingham was a one-off. Isn't it £18 in the cheap parts of the stadium now? How will charging £3 less suddenly mean another 6,000 (based on avg attendance in 13/14) fairweather fans will suddenly be rushing to the Ricoh? It just wouldn't happen...

In answer to the OP - the crowd for a bog standard league match on a Friday would be pitifully low. Gillingham was a unique event.

About 12k.

Stupid idea. Means the lack of atmosphere problem when there's 10K in the stadium (like there will be for most games) will continue. Unless there is an alternative being put in place, ie closing off the top rows.

This Aston Villa hatred is embarrassing. They have never given a toss about us and are a MUCH bigger club. I can understand the Leicester rivalry more. Neither of us have an obvious alternative rival (Forest and Derby hate each other much more than Leicester) and we are a similar-ish size.

Hell of a ball to Haynes for the goal. Didn't appreciate how good it was until watching it on TV when I got home.

Will be very pleasantly surprised if the crowd is anywhere near some of the predictions on this thread. I fully expect it to be around 12K tops, which in itself is a significant increase on our avg attendance in 12/13. I would absolutely love to be there on Saturday but I simply cannot go to 3...

4-3 wasn't in the Premiership. As you would have pointed out if anybody else had made such a basic error.

Whoever said Yeovil would be easy have either a) not followed Coventry for very long and/or b) no idea about football in general.

Never lived in Coventry. Support City because my dad does. Its the rules.

And to add to that for exiled fans (of which we have quite a lot - at least judging by this forun) the cost of the ticket only makes up a small percentage of the overall matchday cost. For me, fuel, ticket, food, drink, programme - costs me best part of £100. Whether the match ticket was £1...

I disagree. For a bog standard league match the attendance wouldn't be hugely different if you charge £10 or £20. I genuinely believe you would only add a couple of thousand to the gate. The hardcore fans go regardless of price and most of the fairweathers will only go if its a match of...

Why bite?

I would love a copy please if anybody is selling.

are you being serious?

I've been thinking 1-2 Gillingham all week, so going for that @ 14/1.

I would like to nominate this at the most ridiculous comment ever posted on SBT.

Is that 28K Home Tickets sold or does it include Gillingham's allocation?
