Phase 1
I always thought they missed a trick by not expanding the ground or building a new one when they were in the Premier League but there was a lot of politics involving the Council (sound familiar?) and it never happened.
Picked a few points from the excellent report that I will expand on - The queue for the away end stretched around the corner - basically it was like standing outside the casino at the CBS and the queue practically stretching to our away end - (pathetic) the holdup was stewards with a scanners that most of them could not use as they didn’t know if was working or not - when they did hear a bleep then it was ‘turn your pockets out time’ - You then walked a few feet and went to the next stage of a full search – I Imagine some fans did not get in till half way through second half - 1300 tickets sold apparently the full allocation but the police and stewards estimated there was over 1600?? watched the whole game with many others standing up on the concourse - bumped into a few Bournemouth fans on the night and one said that he had been going for 10 years and never heard support as good as Cov
You are lot make a lot of noiseEnjoyed the report as always but don't buy into the dislike of Bournemouth. Live locally and have watched a few games over the years and always found their supporters friendly, positive towards their team and just enjoying the ride. Most I've come across have supported the team for years, donated cash when it looked as though they might go bust a few years ago and can't believe what's happened since.

Sat opposite the L&W supporters, great position for the fightback. Always interesting to listen to comments from opposing fans:- "This has got 3-0 written all over it" (just before their second went in); "Coventry aren't a bad team, we're just better" and towards the end as the pressure mounted "You can see they're a good team from their movement off the ball". There was also some discussion on the two cathedrals.
One negative, I thought I heard refrains of "You'll be sacked in the morning" after it went 2-0 but haven't seen any mention of that on here. Was it meant to be ironic? I wondered if that was the reason Robins didn't come over to the fans at the end.
Finally a quote from one of my neighbours who sits behind the goal at the opposite end to the away supporters "You're lot make a lot of noise don't they".
