Don’t believe it, will be the council staff skewing that.

Saying the average wage 40k, I know a lot of people and the vast majority earn nowhere near that.

Why is always the council staff. What about the people in the private sector whose wages are so low they have to claim benefits to top up their pay.

Other towns and cities have council workers I believe

And yes, of course there will be people earning less. That is why its the average

And it also doesn't factor in that Coventry has high housing costs compared to wages.

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, in what is meant to be a lower profile game. Kind of defeats the object.

Doesn't help that a lot of st holders didn't turn up today, particularly in family zone, so probably a good deal fewer than 29K in there.

Sort of agree although Swansea is pretty much already a sell-out and its over a month away. I hate the prices especially the kids but you can't argue that the Swansea game will bring in record gate receipts from home fans.

I'm sure there are pockets of seats still to open up but as it stands there are only single seats available across the stadium for Charlton other than block 9. Pretty much guaranteed to sell-out with the ticket exchange open. 31.5K odd.

Would have been the same yesterday if had been priced right.

Felt like there were more West Brom than they had anticipated. Block 9 started nearly empty but clearly a few had decided to migrate there to give the baggies fans some grief.

From the Cov Telegraph, ATTENDANCE: 29,216 (1,482 away).

Which was the third lowest away attendance of the season. And half of what they brought on Good Friday last season.

A Boxing day fixture is always a bit of an outlier though.
I've bought 3 additional tickets for people who wouldn't normally attend.

Yeah, sold. Not in seats.

Many still available and zero resale unlike Sheffield United.

All those empty seats where families decided not to turn up could have been resold at Cat B.

If I can’t make a game I wouldn’t be bothering to put up for resale - also given that we sold most of our seats why wouldn’t we sell some more on resale.

you are making a lot of assumptions here

There were loads of resale sold for Sheffield United.

If the game is sold out, why wouldn't you click a button to resell the ticket?

Bristol City fans opt for non league games amid backlash to ticket prices for Coventry away - Fan Banter

A growing number of Bristol City fans opt for attending local non league games amid backlash to the ticket prices announced for Coventry away. Another ticket price reveal, another set of fans venting frustration at the cost, with it £38 for adults, £33 for over-65s/18-21s, and £28 for under-18s...

Probably gives the club a pretence for shoving away fans in the corner to get even more home fans in.

I have been in the padded seats on a match by match basis as I have a lot of commitments in the year that mean I am going to miss a number of games. A padded seat for WBA was only £5 more than somewhere in the middle of the East Stand

I am going to guess many in the padded seats have purchased their tickets quite late and/or are only occasional football fans, You are endlessly having to stand up while groups of people go to the bar, get food, go to the loo. Nearly missed the melee when we should have scored. One threesome came back 8 minutes after halftime. Real pain in the arse. Been the same every game.

Still can't believe Bristol City is Cat A either.

Another standard Championship game at a horrible time of the year.

Getting ridiculous now. Should be encouraging more fans in, pricing at this time of the year. Usually weeks before Christmas isn't great attendances.

Yep. I'd rather we were filling every seat.

Looked dreadful on telly yesterday.

tbf the seats you could see empty on the TV, at least in the home end, were pretty much all seats that were sold and people that either couldn't be bothered when they saw the wether or somehow moved elsewhere a bit more out of the rain. The family zone was particularly bad for this.

Not sure you can draw too many conclusions about the seats in the block that only became available in the days before the match not being full.

What's the difference between average attendances when you compare A+ and B games? Not got time to work it out right now now so could be way off but some quick mental arithmetic looks to not be more than a few hundred. Suspect you'd have to see a much bigger difference for King to view it as a failure.

That's before you factor in food and beverage spending and the tickets sold through resale.

The Sheffield United game was priced fairly and they sold loads of resell tickets.

You think King doesn't have that data?

We've got people on the one hand complaining that the game wasn't sold out, then on the other complaining resale wasn't switched on. Why would the club enable resale when they have primary market tickets to sell?

That block behind the goal looked terrible.

10 years ago we were lucky to get 10,000 through the gate when there were huge gaping spaces throughout the ground, while our support base is now as high as its ever been. Yesterday was not terrible. You have have been banging on about the crowd for the West Brom game for weeks, so I guess your statement is a means of you further justifying that viewpoint.

The only justifying I've saw is our fans defending the ticket prices...
