8972 no ticket office for a week, too much negativity, 10 points off nothing to play for, against top of the league so likely to lose
Bank Holiday? Not for an awful lot of Coventry folk, Ferret. Lots have Monday and Tuesday off and today will be a working day.
As for the 'sinister' decision to move the fixture, oh please. It was inconsiderate and late, but totally understandable.
Well yours seems the most optimistic forecast,so take out the season ticket holders who have already paid,it will be about 3-4000 paying spectators.Kids for a quid,plus deduct the 20% VAT on ticket sales,the club will be lucky to take £60000.With an average of 2 home games a month it would mean 100% of the gate money would go to the 'CCFC loving' ACL,under the old rental agreement.Surely in the past it would have been simpler for fans to pay ACL direct for their tickets,and if the club got lucky ACL could have handed over a few quid to pay all the playing staff,office staff,PAYE,insurance,coach travel,etc etc.Still with the club now in administration I'm sure the gate will be boosted,by hordes of eager investors,desperate to grt their hands on the cash cow that is CCFC.:facepalm:Have to smile at these dire predictions, particularly the one that said it will be 6000.
The predicted crowd today (well what has been advised to police and casino operator etc.) is 11K-12K. So slightly above average then. Remains to be seen, but it is a bank holiday and it is kids for a quid.

One of your guys was on here the day we went into administration slagging us off for moving the match. Wish I'd known this then.
Was there? I can't understand why anyone would do that as we benefit by playing on Friday. We all have our own followers who will make rash statements from time to time, you'll find that I am not one of them. I have sympathised with the plight of CCFC fans in recent days and will attend the game today in solidarity as much as supporting my team.
As for the reorganisation of the fixture, there are many DRFC fans who have been inconvenienced by the date change and have lost money on travel etc. I have no idea why the decision to re-arrange was taken so late?
Not one of my usual group is going today. Even my dad isn't. So that's 8 down.
Why is that? Not a dig, just genuinely interested.
