The average league gate so far this season is 6442, so not the 5K people keep referring to. This is before we've played many of the bigger sides who'll bring large followings. We might feasibly get 11-12K when we play Sunderland. But there will be the odd 4K gate for midweek games. We might...

Blackpool and their mulleted 'game mob' turning up when Cov are playing in Birmingham, where almost everyone in attendance is wearing specs and a replica shirt, is one of the most tragic things I've ever seen at the football. So now, when we take 3K for the return fixture, loads of lads who...

I read that thread earlier (they usually have a Coventry thread once a week that is good for a laugh) but actually there are a few being quite complimentary.

That's funny, on my last two trips to Blackpool there were no home fans, I'm mean, literally none. Ah, but poor you, lapped up the sympathy from the 'football family' then didn't we. Absolutely no class whatsoever. Then wade into ordinary fans walking from the ground trying to earn wanker points...

He's been here for 2.5 years, we've had plenty of sticky patches and we've continued to sing his name throughout. I wouldn't worry too much. The odd rant on Facebook means nothing. I'm not sure there is a manager in the lower leagues who has the sort of relationship Robins has with our fans...

I'm pretty sure he meant robbed blind by Oyston.

I thought it was a bit flat today, which was a bit surprising considering it was the biggest turn out of the season, but absolute scenes at the end.

It won't be over 7K, but the home turnout will be up on the last 2 home league games. Advanced ticket sales pretty strong apparently.

Last few Burton tickets snapped up this morning, so won't make general sale.

I don't think you get a choice of seats in corporate. They're all central anyway with a good view, so wouldn't worry.

Agree. The idea that after a below-par performance last week Robins will stick with the same line-up simply because we didn't lose seems odd to me. You play your best side, and nobody can seriously tell me our best side, from what we have seen, doesn't include O'Hare. Not sure both he and...

There are coaches run by the various supporters clubs and also the SBA is still running. But, I think there is a gap there and you should do it. Burton may not be the best game to start as allocation is limited, it isn't far to drive and the train is an option. Might be better to start with a...

This isn't working

Don't fancy us tomorrow at all. Oxford are a better side than their start suggests. Would take a draw now, and I rarely say that in this league.

Fuck sake. Match day ruined. Loads of kids play junior football on a Sunday morning so I can see the crowd being a shocker. Sunday midday is possibly the worst time for a match to kick-off.

I don't think that's the prevailing view at all. I think there are quite a few who are prepared to accept an exile of one season if it means we return on our own terms, rather than cave in to the unrealistic demands that are being made to return immediately. Ultimately though, it cannot be a...

That's clearly made up. Huddersfield ahead of Spurs? Behave. Bolton appear on the list but don't even have a shirt to sell do they?

I can't work out if we were naive or brave last night. Most lower league clubs would have set up with two lines of four and would have sat deep. We didn't, and tried to play, and I quite like that we did that. We got found out because we came up against better players ultimately, but we have...

Club announced sold out a few hours ago. You do sometimes get the odd ticket emerge as tickets that were stuck in people's baskets become available again, but definitely none now.

Think they'll get a better return than that. ST sales have been suspended for a few weeks now, and they'll be a few that have attended a game or two this season who'll be tempted. Mate of mine is getting one. Suspect it'll be more than a handful who take up the offer.
