    I note they have opened those block 9 seats for Saturday but not for subsequent games so I guess it was deliberate, so will probably open up those additional seats based on demand.

    Middlesbrough Fans

    They're a decent bunch in the main. Pretty humble and don't have a chip on their shoulder like some other clubs in the north east. Stuff in the ground was kids playing up, but I've heard a few stories from recent visits of fans being picked off and bullied on the way back into town. Not on that.

    They have opened them back up now, must have been a glitch

    Match Thread Coventry City - Charlton Athletic Match Thread - Saturday 29th Nov

    Yeah. I've stopped the habit of going into every game fearing this is the one where we come unstuck, we're clearly not that team. But, this one worries me, expect a reaction from them and they'll sit and make it hard for us. Any team that can rock up to Ipswich and win 3-0 has a big performance...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Charlton Athletic Match Thread - Saturday 29th Nov

    Think Rudoni might start. I sense Lampard keen to get him back in. Only concern is Simms and lack of cover, he gets a knock early in the game and what options do we have, play a false 9? That would have to be Rudoni I guess, but if he's cooked after 70 minutes, it leaves us with very few options.

    Middlesbrough Fans

    The main trigger seemed to be 5 or 6 of our fans crossing the netting to goad them. That may have been after the 1st missiles were thrown but it didn't help.

    Looks like they have reduced the amount of seats available in block 9. Segregation seems to have been made slightly bigger again. Happened tonight, so not sure if in response to issues at Boro.

    Atmosphere

    Your basing this on individual games. Wrexham fan I know says it was by far their best home atmosphere all season, said it's been really flat for some games. That's football. Boro on Tuesday will probably be up for it because of the occasion, but run of the mill games? Last two visits there...

    Atmosphere

    I thought today was very good overall, but I get annoyed (more than I should) by how early people leave for half time and how long it takes them to come back. Does something happen in the concourse I don't know about? The amount of goals scored just before or after half time this season when...

    Atmosphere

    I'd orgotten about that, I was referring to the opposite corner when EMC (I think) was hacked down. But yeah, that also was a bit of a spark. Missed the missile being thrown but saw there player move it off the pitch. No need.

    Atmosphere

    Some great away days in that spell I agree, but I'd also say two of the best away atmospheres of recent years have been this season (Derby and Stoke).

    Atmosphere

    We'll just disagree on that. I don't think we're anywhere near average. The current situation breeds expectations, it plays a part. At 2-1 down the backing was excellent.

    Atmosphere

    Don't know, could have been a bit longer. A bit of shell shock that wore off once there was a spark, a couple of chances and that incident in the far corner got people back up again, it's just the ebb and flow.

    Rowleys green roundabout

    There were plans a year or two ago to smarten it up, a bit of landscaping and some advertising screens but maybe shelved. Agree, a large sculpture would be great. Gateway to the city, the whole area needs a facelift, it's pretty grim, although I did hear there are plans for landscaping and...

    Atmosphere

    Oh behave, there was a 10 minute lull. What do you want, a endless array of adapted pop songs without a pause? The lull didn't last long. Plenty of noise at 2-1. I don't know if you recall, but we've had plenty of times when the chips have been down over past couple of seasons. Last season...

    Game should never have been cat a+ really. We'll be back to a full house next week, probably a gate of 31K. When you factor in additional ticket sales, possible ST resale and the benefit of having 2000 people extra in the ground spending, I'd imagine revenues will be higher next week than this...

    Well yeah, but I suppose on the back of 3 home sell outs and ST resale for two of those, it is disappointing that we'll come up short for what is meant to be a higher profile game, but not eager to reignite the pricing debate.

    Looking like it might be lowest crowd of the season Saturday. They've sold 1200 and our sales not moving. Pity.

    Sort of, you have to give a minimum of 3000 if your capacity is 30K or over. Below that you must give 10%. Same rules apply in championship, but difference is it's 2000 and 20K.

    Which will continue unfortunately. Albion sales are poor, Bristol City won't bring many for a Cat A in December, and there will be very few Swansea fans. Expect Charlton to bring a load though.
