How can you properly judge a team that played 3/4 of the match with 10 men ffs? Ridiculous to make comparisons. Ps no sane City fan thinks we will win the league.

How old is she Tony? Thinking of taking my eldest in a year when (if - lol) she reaches 7. I am worried about her attention span as well.

McSheffrey has been utter pants for two years.....so he's nailed on to score. If we play like we did on Saturday I'm going 3-1 City.

On the face of that statement I agree. However, for so many fans to disappear within a week of our return (especially after the fuss that was made about our exile) it is a concern imo.

Most fans not willing to pay £22 wouldn't have paid £15. They would have used queues/web-site problems/anything apart from the fact they didn't really want to go, as an excuse. I can understand the reasons why a lot of our fans fall under the 'floating' category (lack of success etc) but I...

At Shitfields I think we would have struggled. Think I predicted lower mid-table. There's a feel good factor about the place now. Suspect being told a return to the Ricoh was likely played a part in convincing quality players like O'Brien and Jackson to sign.

I think a fully fit Jackson and Nouble will tear defences apart in this league, frankly. If we had better options to replace Thomas and Clarke we would look really strong across the pitch imo.

It looked like 11k to me. 500 Yeovil fans in the south stand. The west and north stands were very sparse. It was only the east stand that had reasonable numbers. Great atmosphere though. Only success will bring out the fairweathers, of which we have a huge number. It just annoys me when...

Weymouth !

The atmosphere was one of the best i have witnessed at the ricoh. Great day. Glad i planned ahead and ordered my ticket online (in seconds) earlier in the week rather than joining the queues today.

Now the walk-up surcharge has gone along with the myth that buying tickets online is arduous, I look forward to reading some new made up excuses as to why the people of Coventry won't come and support their team after a year away. Because its absolutely not repeat not because a huge number...

I can't work out if you're joking or not but if not can I confirm you are saying the crowd will be around 11K smaller because the shop phone isn't always answered? I have literally heard it all. As said it takes minutes to book online and arrive within 1 or 2 days.

Exactly this. I couldn't give a fuck who we're playing. I support Coventry City.

Oh and they arrived the following morning. Excuses excuses exucses as always from Coventry supporters. Yet if we were selling tickets for £15 there would be 20K there apparently (according to predictions on the original guess the Yeovil crowd thread).

Took me 90 seconds to buy my ticket online.

Some fair points. I certainly wouldn't expect anything like 25,000 at each game in League 1, of course not. But it would have been nice to have seen enough passion in the city to generate more than 10K for our 2nd game back after a year's absence. Who knows, the actual attendance may be...

Nobody has said we wouldn't get more fans if the price was lowered. My view is that even if the price was reduced to say £15 (non-league prices ;-) ) it would make very little impact on the attendance on Saturday because not enough people in the city give a shit. I genuinely don't think...

People also seem to be forgetting that the Ricoh effect MKII should be kicking in like it did in 05/06. Look how our attendances jumped then from the season before. Haven't got them to hand but it must have been roughly 50% (14K to 21K ish). That's why I am so disappointed with a predicted...

How do we look if we take average attendances as a percentage of population? I know there are other factors to consider including the locality of other football clubs and whether you include outlying settlements etc, but it gives a more sensible discussion point than simply showing attendances...

Re: £18 - probably because people know they can do this and then sit anywhere else in the North Stand? Doesn't mean they wouldn't come to the game at normal prices if this option wasn't here. £4 more on a ticket price would put us outside the norm of pricing for this league. That may put some...
