The only problem with all this is I can't bring random mates who support other clubs because there is never and space to put them with me. Have to make them sit on their own down the other end and that's a harder sell

Think there's some space on the roof

Looking at the steelwork I wouldn't trust putting anybody on that roof.

Well it's either that or I propose making a literal bandwagon people have to watch the game in

Why has that upper block behind the goal complety sold out, strange, also they don't sell tickets for the corner section between the east and North stands but people sit there?

The corner section blocks 33/34 are JSB section and family zone, block 31/32 are the quiet bit and for self isolation if you want it,( why come to a footy match to self-isolate?)
I'm in 33 half way up with my son and grandson and now son-in-law and another grandson for Derby, so I'm doing my bit for getting numbers up!!! What are the rest of you doing to help, eh??

Self Isolate?
Cautious perhaps.
Many older or medically vulnerable folk still are extremely cautious about getting it.

My dad who said he would get a season ticket and then didn’t get round to it, I gave him my season ticket for an early game and he hasn’t missed a game since, I just said you would be better off getting the season ticket it’s costing you a fortune in individual tickets. He has been down and his usual seat had gone so they must be selling ok.

I'm in Block 31. Chose a seat there because I was/am, trying to protect some vulnerable people I have to have contact with. Love the City, and would much rather be in the throng. Surprisingly though, it is noisy there due to the acoustics (and I still join in the singing, without feeling a bigger prat than I already am)!

I'll wear my 'special' 50years Sky Blue bucket hat, so that you know it's me - I've lost my pink carnation that I usually wear for secret assignations.

Have a child in junior school.

Wait for free Wasps tickets.

Go to Wasps game.

Hide in the toilet until City play.

Simple really.

Win tomorrow and I reckon a lot of those seats behind the goal will go by Saturday.


Getting ahead of myself, I know, but I wonder what the true capacity of the ground would be this season with all the difficulties with segregation, top tier posh seats and the 'covid block'?

I reckon we'd struggle to have more than 27k in with all of that. Similar to the Gillingham return game.
