It was sung occasionally, and most often in League 1 and I'm sure we've sung it plenty ourselves at others. In the Championship our average gates were between 17.5K and 21.5K apart from our relegation season when it slipped. Comfortably top half of the division, which it will be again this season.

Sales are slow for a lot of clubs this weekend. Derby, Cardiff, Preston, Stoke and Blackburn - loads of empty seats at all these grounds, these are teams playing on a Saturday, not on TV, and they all have cheaper tickets available, but they're miles from being sell outs. There are also 3 days...

No we didn't.

I think the point is that by the time they get to general sale there won't be many left of the initial allocation and not enough time to get more tickets. Of course, there will be pay of the gate I imagine, albeit with a price increase I believe, but no real stress. Not sure why they have...

Should be general sale earlier, these won't shift before general sale, you won't get 20% of season ticket holders getting one so it won't leave any time for an additional allocation.

Prices are great, under 12s free. But our prices are cheapest in the league blah blah...

They wouldn't give me the time of day. There is nothing to confirm, it is clearly a joint venture, Dal Dhillon actually said recently; "We are elated to announce this new joint venture with Coventry City Football Club." On what basis are you doubting it's a joint venture?

No, fully open. That refurb was done specifically for the football season.

We'll have our allocation but they won't go on sale while the understaffed ticket office are having to print and post a shit load of paper tickets for Sunday. That's all it will be.

But they wouldn't need to make a capital investment in order to receive royalties. Why would they? It will be a licensing arrangement. Dhillons invest the capital, the club give it their official stamp and drive business their way, and revenues are somehow shared. The amount of oxygen the...

The club wouldn't allow an independent business to profit by using it's name without receiving royalties.

Yep, especially Dhillons which I think will be a game changer. It provides a large venue close to the ground that will feel like a proper place to have a beer pre-match. The casino is a weird place to drink before a game; shit beer, escalators and waterfalls, just doesn't feel right and won't...

SBT yes, it's a joint venture. Anecdote I'd say almost certainly not.

Indeed it was, but it was a Friday night and was only a tenner. Plus the homecoming element just seemed more significant and it all occurred after the season had started and it was all very sudden and it just had that momentum. Look at it another way though, we may have sold out for that game...

Just compare Northampton with Forest and you get a decent feel. Anyway, don't forget there are 1500 or so corporate seats whose dots you can't count :giggle:. The crowd will be decent, but will be bettered many times this season. As soon as it was selected for TV it killed it. It'll be a...

You're looking at it the wrong way round. The difference between the ground plan showing just ST holders and sales for Sunday shows way more than 2K have gone, by a mile. Think of it the other way around, if only 12K are sold, then from the 26K available on 3 sides of the ground to home fans...

I'm not counting dots, sod that! But this is block 17 with just ST holders, this block is now almost full and this is repeated in many other blocks. Could be wrong though, it wouldn't be the first time.

No chance only 12K sold, where are you getting this from? Way more than that.

Not sure why people are fretting. East Stand filling up nicely. Only singles in many blocks. Tickets behind the goal starting to move, come the game wouldn't be surprised if the middle blocks were close to sold out. It ain't going to be a sell out, or close to it, but it'll be 20K+ and...

In the latter years at HR that was impossible, the home capacity was only 18,500. At the Ricoh, between 2005 and 2012, I'd say only 15-20 times 20K+ home fans. After relegation it was never going to happen outside of special occasions.
