The most likely explanation i can think of for not selling 13 was mentioned earlier in the thread. The kind of people buying tickets this late will be occasional visitors, perhaps bringing kids, and the club might not want them to have a bad experience caught in the crossfire of 'amusing banter' between the corner and the away fans. But it's difficult to come out and say that, because it would be acknowledging the very thing they don't want to draw attention to?
(And it all stems from the ridiculous stadium arrangement that sees noisy home fans given a corner of the ground whilst the away lot get to be behind the goal)

When I first started going to HR in I think 1975 away fans were housed in the left hand side (as you looked at it) of the west end, seemed to be trouble at the same flashpoints every week.
Few years later away supporters were moved to the opposite end of the ground onto the small side of the Kop, this did seem to quell a lot of match day trouble “at least inside the ground anyway”
From there they were moved on to the Sky Blue Stand firstly at the Kop end and then later shifted to the other side of the SBS next to the west stand.
They called that enclosure the 'cage' they were still behind the the goal. And gave the opposition an advantage to attack into their own fans in the second half if they won the toss. And it didn't quell the fans as you suggested it made it worse. As coins and missiles were thrown backwards and forwards. When they moved the away fans into the Sky Blues stand the problems became a little better.When I first started going to HR in I think 1975 away fans were housed in the left hand side (as you looked at it) of the west end, seemed to be trouble at the same flashpoints every week.

Yes if Coventry City are involvedDo you go to the cinema or theatre when there's a rubbish film or play being shown?

We'd probably top out about 40k city fans for the biggest of games. About 30k for this I'd say.Out of curiosity if the stadium was bigger is there an indication of how many we would have sold?
He's still going strong, saw him on a few away trips recentlyWhat happened to the old boy who used to shout that at every away game? Not seen him all season, but might not even be with us any longer to be fair.
Complete with retractable pitch and sliding roof?These things snowball ridiculously…..in another world I could see 35,000 Cov and 7,000 Brum for this if there was room.

Think we took 43k to Wembley for the trophy final, and 37k for the playoff finalWhen we sold tickets for the first wembley trip, was the demand around 60K?
I’m sure I read that somewhere
Yes, your right, but my point is there wa

Put a big screen at Ryton and stream the game.
Charge £20 and have a pop up bar and a few burger vans, a stall selling Cov stuff….
Might make a few quid.
Good point about the Butts - play off final? Semi Final Middlesbrough? (If CBS can’t be used)Illegal as the match isn't to be shown anywhere in the UK. But Cov RFC are away this weekend and they have all the necessities (just thinking in case for a potential future scenario....)

Can someone forward this to the SAG? The away end at Rijeka in Croatia. If they're so concerned about segregation, maybe they can use this model? Not entirely sure it will be safe enough for them though.

Why not outside the stadium?
We were a group of five last Sat and we had a Car Park 3 pass included. Also got a credit for our STsThe package is good value but does it include parking?
Or in the exhibition hall?
What a cunning plan - maybe it would be enough to cover the fine.Put a big screen at Ryton and stream the game.
