I se they've only been given 1100. Is this COVID related as I'm sure they'd sell a lot more (despite it being on Sky) given it's the first away game in 18 months. Are we missing vital ticket sales here?
My pal just got his wolves tickets said we have sold 6k...I’m expecting a lot more for the first game back,friendly etc I know but still

I'd be surprised if Forest sell any more than 2k
Double that.
Forest have sold 2500 away memberships (sold out )
I highly doubt they will struggle to bring 2k to coventry in 2021
Because most cities don't get 10% of the population turning out? Do they?Forest will easily sell 4 or 5 if given the allocation.
I’m concerned how slow our sales are…. Just wish people would get up there and support the club. Still hearing the same reasons…. We are a huge City and it baffles me we can’t get 10% of the population to turn out.

Not sure there are any trains running as too many people for a small platform - there are buses full of Cov fansAfternoon all, Forest fan here. All our initial allocation was snapped up very quickly, before season ticket holders even had a chance - I fully expect the next allocation of 2,000 to be sold. With it being the first game many fans have had the opportunity to attend in 18 months I think we could maybe get to 4.5k sold!
Anyway quick question around transport post match from the ground, what's the easiest way back to the main Coventry station? Is it worth booking a taxi, or will there be additional trains heading back to the City centre station?
Cheers, and good luck for the season!

Burnley are at a staggering 20% they are pretty much the exception.you'd be hard pushed to find too many, unless you chop off all the surrounding areas which are basically part of the cities
Welcome. Might be easier getting to Bedworth Station if you can? Have a few in the Casino afterwards and let the traffic clear, you'll be sound. Hope you have a shit day outAfternoon all, Forest fan here.

Good question, but it imagine a lot clubs in the top 2 tiers certainly do. If you looked at attendances compared to the town/city population.
Leicester, Derby, Sunderland, Forest (when considering two club status), Ipswich, Norwich, Middlesbrough and Watford are those of the top of my head that would be close to, or over 10%.
The more you look at the clubs above and compare their crowds to ours, it becomes a bit embarrassing.
Meanwhile in Leicester they are extending their stadium to 40k this year.
That's such a crude way of looking at it, they are pointless comparisons because the catchment areas for many clubs extends way beyond the city or town boundary, some clubs have a much bigger regional pull than we do, Norwich sit alone representing the whole of Norfolk.
Which boundary are you using, City, metro, local authority, conurbation? The true population of Leeds is 800K, shouldn't they be getting 80,000 every week and not less than half that?
It's all meaningless tbh.
You're totally right. It's like asking why Wimbledon only get crowds of 5k when in theory they are the only club in South West London. Or why Gillingham don't get more as the only real club in their county.
However, Coventry ticks the boxes of being a large city and a huge catchment area and our crowds are still poor.
The reality of the situation is we’re the 5th biggest club in the West Midlands and the 8th biggest club in the Midlands as a whole. We have a lot of competition and Coventry has never been a big footballing city. We might have south Warwickshire to ourselves but again, not a traditional football mad region.You're totally right.

Tin pot club aren’t we. Wolves 1800 for an away friendly and we can’t sell 5000. Not surprised sales are poor for forest home game. No football for 18 months, new signings to watch, championship football.
Actually thinking about it what the hell
Its a friendly, find it hard to get any enthusiasm at all about any friendly matches
