Buy a 5 match package and that will guarantee a Wembley ticket

Will be full for every match if/when they release it.

Even if it's second priority window.

How many tickets are already sold for Leeds? This will affect how many are left and therefore how many 5 match packages they can sell. When I bought a ticket for my son for the Leeds game it looked like there weren't many left although now they are limiting Leeds to 2500 that probably gives us a maximum of 2-3000.

I’m wondering if the new season tickets will be out soon? Makes sense if people are clamoring for tickets. People did it last season.

NEWS: Sky Blues fans to be in South Stand for all remaining home games

Following the away end configuration trial against Preston North End, Coventry City will be continuing to trial the new configuration of the South Stand between now and the end of the season for all remaining home fixtures.
www.ccfc.co.uk

Good to have an explanation for why the away fans can't be moved

People would rather Leeds, Ipswich and QPR had 4500 then having additional home fans behind the goal.

Preston brought 900 and we were 3-0 down in half hour.

If this kills our atmosphere, it's our own fault, not because the away fans are where they've been for years...

Who's to say they are going to be silent? They all stood up against Middlesbrough in the play offs.

Would you rather it be empty, or given to Leeds? The club have explained it very clearly why it's not possible.

Some stood up, a lot didn't

I didn't fucking say it should be empty did I, I simply said they atmosphere would be worse. I also haven't said that is worse than giving Leeds United 4500 tickets. I just said the atmosphere would be worse.

If you can't actually read no point taking this conversation further.

The atmosphere may be better because there will be 28,000 home fans instead of 25,000.

It was a genuine question because that's the alternative. Give it to Leeds, leave it empty or open it up to Coventry fans... They cannot put home fans the other side

Or it maybe worse like it has been because there are loads of people in the middle who likely aren't going to sing and it makes it harder for the people do want to sing in the corner to vibe off.

Why are you talking about alternatives? I haven't said they shouldn't do this, I was making a point about the effect this will have on the atmosphere.

Please just stop because if you are having to make up stuff then there really is no point.

I agree with your point of wanting to sit near away fans. It's why the corner works so well.

However, it's 5 games. We need more room for home fans. There is no alternative.

That Preston game was a bad example of it because the result was so incredibly poor. The 5 minutes before the game was quality.

I'm not trying to cause an issue but I don't think the atmosphere will be worse. We could have 28,000 home fans against Leeds. More than we've ever had for a league game.

My brother sits in the corner and he's banging on about how they "weren't consulted".

Seems like folks in that area have a sense of entitlement which I don't understand at all.

He and others here are saying it'll kill the atmosphere, while saying the corner create it.

With the second point accepted, as the corner won't be disrupted, how will it affect the atmosphere?

If it’s consistently open to home fans people who want to stand next to the away fans will move over and the atmosphere will return.

Finances are king, this allows us to sell more tickets. We could have multiple sell outs if we’re challenging for playoffs and with the added interest of the cup.

People won't need to worry for long, they have said they will sell season tickets there next season.

People can sit by the away end then.

There's been games when we have been rubbish and the atmosphere has been a lot, lot better.

Normally this is because there is banter between the sets of fans and it sparks from there. That won't happen now as 10 to 12 won't be full of people who really want to do that.

What you will have is 2500 loud Leeds fans next to 2000 mostly passive city fans who for the Leeds game are sitting there as most of the rest of the ground is gone.

Exactly. The atmosphere at Preston had nothing to do with the trial. Fans immediately turned on players at 1-0, Singers corner went silent and then the team capitulated. Add in the light bullshit and it was an embarrassing showing from our fans.

I thought the atmosphere was pretty poor against Millwall when they were moved closer. Bristol City was ok.

Ideally thet would be close and next year fans can move behind the goal to allow that. It's only for 5 games. 5 meaningful games where everyone should be up for it. 3pm kick offs too.

also, when I'm in block 15, there's a LOT of people who seem happy to stand and be quiet.

If we're gonna look for reasons why the atmosphere might be slipping, maybe start with that.

Millwall was 12:00 on a Sunday, no one really wanted to be there at that time.

Being up for it is different for different people.

Agreed but that's the point myself and others are making about the Preston game. You can't judge it off that.

Boro is the best example, it was decent and when it got going was much, much louder.

Why? Do we not need to best atmosphere for the rest of this season as to help with the play off push?
