About 150-200 dots/tickets left by looks of it.

It’s ok - same as anywhere in the ground on the first couple of rows. If it rains you get wet though and the seats are a bit manky.
You do feel really close to the managers and subs though.

If you don’t know what that is look it up, as I’m not explaining it

I've got a spare edging iron if anyone wants it.

You mean the bit of block 9 on the home side of the segregation?
Probably about 300 seats there.

I do recall the club saying last summer after the segregation was put in that they were looking to maximise ticket sales further.
I bet the safety boffins stopped sales here which the club are hopefully working on to overturn.

As you say the current capacity is probably only just over 31k

Also even without segregation the number is probably only just over 32k. I think it was reduced slightly when the big scoreboard went in

Decent number of seats really. Currently a handful of police officers stand there but I'm not sure that requires all those seats.

From what I can tell on three sets of more than one seat left. I’d expect them to open something else up soon if they’ve got it.

Yes the CBS banner ones soon surely. It's virtually down to single tickets only behind the goal

Enjoyed listening to Greatest Hits Radio this morning. A guy called Lee from Coventry doing Popmaster on the Ken Bruce Show. Gave a shout out to Frank Lampard at the end

If you couldn’t like Frank any more.. top bloke and he knows the play offs is where he needs to be. He will be more concerned about the players than especially those that have come in since Robins left over trying and losing focus.

We've been getting wins by the odd goal recently, and Sheff Wed apart, we've deserved the wins and looked like we could give some team a good hammering, if it all just clicks...wouldn't it be poetry if we did that to Stoke ?

Am I reading into it too much… but although MR acknowledges the great results under FL… he then goes on to intimate that it would have happened anyway.. which sort of cancels out the positive stuff he says about FL.

I’m just clapping now… I have no intention of stepping foot anywhere near, let alone walking in the manager of Stokes wonderland.

used to bad starts but just couldn’t see him turning this season around, players just didn’t look bothered, maybe we’d of improved a bit, but not as much as we have, Lampard came in and gave everyone a fresh start to impress and they have, look at the difference in simms and Clarke, cant See anything but a win, he said he knows our weaknesses, yeah they’re all on the bench

What did I say about the worms Tom?

This is a fragile peace and these unwarranted attacks on Hamer and Robins are threatening it.

Still holding out hope we’ll bring back some acceptable form of 442 and Haji Wright is fit. But yeah Torp is probably the best bet. Gonna miss Rudonis crosses (and goals) today, I’d like to see Torp crashing the box and playing final balls more. He has the quality.

I think the same, Torp has the attributes to replace Rudoni pretty effectively imo.

He also said:

"I'm not taking any credit for it, my results weren't good enough, but at the end of it, the data was there to suggest it was in a really good place to go on, to go & turnaround"

Which is spot on. We were trending in the top 6 for pretty much all the underlying performance stats.

Hes a big part of the reason we will have 30,000 at the arena today , 22k ST holders and kids supporting coventry in the city again .

He comes out and we give the greatest manager for decades a huge applause and show him we appreciate what he did for us and always will.

Then we destroy stoke
