I have read that the buses arn't great after the match. Takes a while to get on one, then 30-45 mins to the centre.

I researched this, you can book at an Asda car park not far from the ground for £4 on JustPark but I don't have enough points to get a ticket. View attachment 41712

Whoops, wrong topic. This is better, Sainsburys car park near the ground for £2.

It's fine but it takes ages. Unless you're travelling solo then a cab is likely the better option.

Remember it’s a 12.30 kick off so not sure if alcohol will be available in some places.

Getting quite excited for this after the last game. Really want to see us develop with 4ATB and see how we integrate Wright and Sheaf over the next few. EMC gives us someone you expect things to happen when he gets the ball, nice watching Grimes. Fun times at the moment whoever plays. Should be a great day out for those going from the sounds of it too. Just need the next day and a half to fuck off.

That's of no use at all is it?

I just measured it and it's only about 2 and a half inches tall.

Wouldn't see a thing, other than, possibly, the top of Dasilva's head.

Nice to be looking forward to matches. I find myself getting impatient too which is better than thinking 'oh fuck, not again.'

Genuine question:

How would we as Coventry fans feel about a whole group of Sunderland fans buying up tickets in the home end in our upcoming game against them?

Depending on results over the next couple of games, this could be an important match and could well end up being a very high attendance. Are we ok with the idea of opposition fans taking tickets away from home ones?

No one would be happy, of course. Oxford are a small team and don’t really fill out their ground. Whereas we’ll begin to regularly get close to full capacity for home games for the rest of the season if we’re in the playoffs.

Potential banana skin this. We will slip up against someone we expect to beat, especially when they’re fighting for points to stay up.

I assume, as someone else has said, numbers just got too big so Oxford took action. Unlikely to be down to that post. Plus plenty on here, including me, have discussed it too

Oxford fans seem quite bullish on their forum and see this as one of their more winnable matches left this season.

2 shots on target in the last 4 games coming up against a team that's just won 7 in 8. Time will tell I guess.

If they have little chance of the autos, which is looking likely, then they won't bother. Their ticket sales for the game have reached lower categories than usual, plus they think the game may be moved ( Fri night/Sat early) re: TV.

Those fixtures have already been decided. It’s a 3 kick off.

Oxford fans are proper salty ain’t they. All think they’ll win and we’re tin pot apparently.

Never understand this bragging about % of ground full. It's only relevant if you fill it 100%, otherwise the average attendance is all that matters really.

Not just that but depends on the size surely. Imagine we moved to the butts park in league one. Sold it out to 5,000 and started bragging about our numbers

With the form we are in, we probably could’ve filled their ground for them this weekend. The tickets had sold out before the 1500+ window!

I was tempted to go wind them up but then you are at risk of falling down a Procdoc type rabbit hole (see also multiple posters on the Sunderland forum.) But again, how stupid do you have to be to type this? How can capacity be restricting them if they fill about 90% of it? Make it make sense.
Anyway, if anyone from that forum is snooping, could you please tell this bloke he's thick as fuck.
I do actually find dick waving about club size a bit cringey, a lot of The Championship is much of a muchness and Bournemouth are a fucking Sunday league club but its not holding them back. But come on though, Oxford? Pipe down lads.
