    Judging by the mess of it, it’s after the seating fiasco where they’ve made a half arsed attempt to convert it back to standing

    Sunderland fans have been sold tickets in block 6 I think so it will be overzealous segregation again

    What do we expect the Huddersfield crowd to be? Huge if it’s to do with pricing presumably?

    Season Tickets!!!

    I remember going to a T20 game where they were playing Northamptonshire. It was in 2014, so when we were playing in Northampton. The hate and bitterness in me was strong that game! One side had stole my football club, the other my cricket club.

    Have they stopped that “Birmingham Bears” shite now? I actively cheered against them when they started that

    That’s the photo I was thinking of. Showing the family stand being built on top of the pre-existing terracing. I suppose that how they were able to build it so quickly

    Interestingly the original west terrace wasn’t fully demolished. They just removed the roof. The family stand was then built above it. The terrace in this picture remained until the 80s when the seats were put in and the steps had to be re-profiled

    It’s to spread the income out evenly across all games. If pricing is a big factor as people in this thread think, we’ll have the same number of fans at the Huddersfield game as the Sunderland one

    King et al vs SISU

    I don’t think anyone is fawning over the new ownership. Most people fully acknowledge the problems that still exist in the club

    King et al vs SISU

    Actually this thread is a decent read. It shows most of us singing from the same Hymn sheet. Basically Sisu were awful. So far King is better but there are still many problems within the club.

    I agree that team support isn’t based purely on the built up conurbation, which makes comparisons between city sizes useless. That’s the point I’m trying to make. Using that stat Leeds and Man City are amongst the worst supported teams in the country!

    So basically the printer at the ticket office has ran out of ink? Could this process be anymore Micky Mouse?

    Is that a joke?

    King et al vs SISU

    Competency off the pitch is still a shambles. However ambition, and intention is vastly improved. Investment in Ryton is welcome, and investment in the stadium means we’re at the CBS indefinitely now. Allowing the manager the overwhelming majority of transfer fee income is something that no...

    The blocks next to the away fans that makes sense. When it’s block 27, which is going to have an open block either side of it any it just seems silly. As both adjoining blocks will be open, the stairwell will already need a steward

    I think people have delusions of how big Coventry is. The Coventry Urban area has a population of 360k. The Leicester urban area has a population of 508k. The two cities are not comparable.

    No we’re not. We’ve currently sold around 20.5k non corporate home tickets. Even with a Conservative estimate of corporate being half full, that brings us to 22k home fans. With 5 days of sale still to go

    We’re not looking at a lower turn out though. Let’s see how many are at the Huddersfield game

    I understand what you’re saying, honestly I do. I’m playing devils advocate slightly. I just find it hilarious that people think 22k home fans is poor
