Fans raised the issue in the Supporters Consultative Group and the club has actioned the fans' wishes...
Sky Blues supporters will be able to continue to watch games from behind the goal at Sixfields next season.
The club had contacted Season Ticket holders in the North Stand to say it would not be operating for City matches next season but offered them a move to another area of the ground at no extra cost.
But the Sky Blues Supporters Consultative Group, set up to bring supporters’ views to the club, raised the issue of fans who pay on a match-by-match basis wanting the stand to remain open.
The item was discussed at the SCG meeting last week and the club has now decided to offer tickets in the North Stand for the coming campaign.
Tim Fisher, CEO of Coventry City, said the decision emphasised the important role of the SCG.
“On paper there were practical reasons for not having the stand open and when we spoke to the Season Ticket holders there before we went on sale for next season, the majority did not have a problem taking seats elsewhere in the ground.
“But Darren Davies, a member of the SCG, had canvassed supporters – Season Ticket holders and those who pay on a match-by-match basis – in the North Stand and it was very clear that there were a significant number of people who wanted to stay behind the goal.
“The SCG discussed the matter last week, we said we were only too happy to look into it, and have decided to keep the North Stand open.
“Any Season Ticket holders who have already bought tickets elsewhere will be offered the chance to return to the North Stand if they wish. We have already started informing supporters –some have taken up the offer to move back to the North Stand and some have chosen to stay in their new seats.
“It is really important there is a two-way dialogue between the club and the supporters and that is the whole point of the SCG. We are really pleased that the matter was raised and was resolved to everyone’s satisfaction.”
The SCG is made up of supporters’ representatives and meets with club staff and officials every month.

Moan, moan, moan....what's the big deal! We only got a few bodies in the north stand.
Though why should Cov fans not be behind the goal, away fans are?

I'd still like to know how the club justifies charging fans for coach travel to and from Northampton, no matter how they try to dress it up as a 'bargain' price. Anybody care to raise it at the next SCG?
Asked Darren Davies on more than one occasion to ask this question but as far as I can tell from reading SCG meeting minutes he never has.

they've ignored the elephant in the room.
The fans have already been treated like garbage courtesy of the club being taken out of the city and the powers that be now see fit to make a bit of money on the side off the back of having to go to Northampton to watch. Just looks like a way of ostensibly lowering ticket prices because they know it will cost extra for the majority to get out there to games. Ticket prices should be the same and the travel should be free.
I dont see why you couldn't get free travel from the centre to sixfields with your purchase of a season ticket. Would be a nice gesture and would be going in the right direction.
do you really realise what you wrote there?????
try - "to keep the club afloat due to the mindless and neglectful ignorance of the owners - removing the club from its very loyal fans and customer base - and its home . To a place where the fans said they would not travel to"
remember Fisher being laughed at when he suggested gates of between 3000 - 7000
Remember them mentioning they didnt do proper due diligence when they bought the club
Well nor did they do proper due diligence when they moved to Northampton
So dont for a minute put the blame on the fans
It's outrageous. You should be picked up and dropped off from your house for every game AT SISUs EXPENSE. And your ticket should still be cheap.

Is Arjen De Zeeuw still available then?
Why should people be charged for the inconvenience of going to watch their team 35 miles away from where it should be?
