They still get free coach travel as well.

Can't see Preston selling out unless we can get on a decent run before then

Atmosphere last 10 minutes was really good, some of the loudest I've heard for a while even from over in the family zone.

The other 80 or so minutes though a bit meh, but think our home support also feeds off a good away following and Norwich were fairly quiet

Hardly electric today I’d say. The crap ref definitely helped it improve.

Thought it was excellent second half. Roared them on, got goose bumps a couple of times.

Thought Norwich a couple of times were really load but that arse of a referee certainly got block 21 going.

Now we have full stand behind the goal most weeks, I think we should kick that way 2nd half every week

Like any good pantomime, having a great ‘baddie’ to unite the audience works wonders. Even got to keep telling Eccles ‘he’s behind you!’ to no avail

It was very good after the goal but before that it was ok.

The 'new' fans have added very little, if anything to the atmosphere.

There's not been a game yet as loud as say Peterborough, Fulham or Sheffield United at home from two seasons ago. Those attendances were well below what we are getting now.

'We'll live and die in these towns' is getting better each week. The rest of the stadium have realised what to do

Pre-kick off it was brilliant yesterday. One thing that’s baffling me though is how many of the corner leave bang on FT. It’s my first season in block 14 and having seen from other areas it seemed everyone stayed after to applaud the players. Late win on Wednesday and the corner was probably 3/4 empty by the time Godden came over. Few more stayed yesterday but still probably half empty.

So who are the new fans? We talking Manc cast-offs or other groups. I’m aware of so many new season ticket holders who have followed city for years. Also an Arsenal and a Tottingham fan who have season tickets. I’m optimistic about the future of our fan base. As for adding extra…The players on the pitch need to step up to the plate before the atmosphere improves.

On paper, they are 'new' because they haven't had season tickets for 15-20 years and weren't here every week just two seasons ago.

It's fantastic having these numbers. A city of our size should comfortably averaging 24k and we now are.

Good point.

HS2 gets scrapped and money is spent elsewhere.

Coventry gets forgotten about.

Yep, 5 minutes later leaving the stadium can add 30+ minutes to a journey that would ordinarily take 10

But it’s not a new thing and didn’t seem to be clearing out as quickly last season.

It needs to be looked at , if you leave 5 minutes before the end you have a chance to get away . The exiting roads are gridlocked , one way in one way out . I parked in carpark B and never moved for 45 minutes. Not good when I have to travel 135 miles home . It needs looking at !

Can anyone please tell me exactly why there are no trains at the arena station during match times ? I thought the station was built to accommodate football supporters along with those visiting the shopping area. Was there a dispute which led to trains being stopped ?

There were Norwich fans at the station after the game and I wondered when the next train would be , if at all.

People quite rightly complain about access to and from the arena and trains can make a massive difference . It's no wonder people leave early.

Those who went to Brighton in the FA cup a few years back probably saw thousands of Brighton fans using trains after the match back into Brighton town Their ground is literally miles from the city yet they sustain big gates because transport is good .

Safety concerns because of the size of the trains I think. Not sure why the trains are so small.

The trains back to Coventry go at 4.50 and 5.50, so you either have to leave some time before the end or wait nearly an hour

Regardless of whether you think the band is shite or not (I disagree) the point of us singing the song isnt to tell everyone how great the enemy are. It’s a song of solidarity for the hard-working people of a working class city

That wasn't even super late! Personally I'm primed to go just before the final whistle, the ref caught me out with his blowing on the dot of 4 minutes this week.
