It doesn't look like there is many up for sale on the ticket exchange. Biggest crowd of the season it looks like
EachEach or the pair?
selling through the ticket exchange, once your seat is sold then the club will post outWell that’s what comes up when I try, the selling fee for each ticket is £55
Ah I see, thanks!selling through the ticket exchange, once your seat is sold then the club will post out
a paper food/drink voucher for the concourse to the value of £10, which
then has to be used before a certain date.
The UK isn't working 9-5 Monday to Friday like it was probably only a couple of decades ago. Those annoyed about it being 6pm on a Monday aren't up in arms about 12.30pm on a Saturday because it doesnt suit their own personal preferences. It actually comes across very much like those who moan about the away games points.
Just out of interest which tweaks would you say need looking at?Just listed mine on the exchange, worked out well for me that Ipswich and Sheffield United which are the only two games I should miss at home this season have both had the exchange open.
It's definitely a good system although requires a few tweaks for next year.
You just sent me down a rabbit hole…I knew it was low….not ‘The vast majority’ as some would proffer.Did you just post evidence that the vast majority are working M-F 9-5??
You might want to check the underlying data for that survey. People were given the choice of picking the time they started work in half hour increments covering a 24 hour period.You just sent me down a rabbit hole…I knew it was low….not ‘The vast majority’ as some would proffer.
Some data suggests as low as 6%.
Over nine in ten not working the usual 9-5 week | YouGov
A new YouGov survey in conjunction with Teneo Blue Rubicon and McDonald’s reveals that almost six in ten (58%) UK workers would choose to start work earlier than 9am if they could leave earlier than 5pm.yougov.co.uk
We've sold out like 6 times in 20 years hahahaha...Always said 32k was not big enough for a one club city the size of Coventry. The game is so much bigger these days.
Several clubs in the Premier League have a waiting list for season tickets. So in your world we spend millions expanding the CBS to handle maybe 5 thousand or so extra people, then what happens when we find ourselves back in the Championship and back with a ground that's too big for us because the floating support disappear again?Like I said....the games much bigger these days. We have consistantly had great attendances since coming back into the championship. The premier league will require more capacity. Without it, there will be thousands of fans unable to see a game in their home ground!
Would you know what a few years of knowing that will be maintained before spending tens of millions?Like I said....the games much bigger these days.
Nah. I’m not going there againYou might want to check the underlying data for that survey. People were given the choice of picking the time they started work in half hour increments covering a 24 hour period.
It is absolutely true that 6% picked 9am as their start time. However 82% picked other so fuck knows what time they're starting that doesn't feature in a normal 24 hour day
I went down the same rabbit hole and although data seems sparse the most recent data I could find showed 63% working a Monday to Friday 9 to 5. The next biggest group was those working flexible or compressed hours within that timeframe.

The economics of expanding the stadium do not add up. Even Donald Trump wouldn't be able to justify that one.
No.Did you just post evidence that the vast majority are working M-F 9-5??
I have to answer this becuase you are taking a very pesamistic viewpoint with little regard or experience of funding such projects over the long term. Initially a relatively small expansion by adding to each end of the ground would not be that expensive to pull off. In the world of premier league players we would have to purchase at 20/30/50m a throw just for a palyer, as our budget grows exponentially from going up. It would be relatively small investment to increase capacity. Building could be done in two phases over two off seasons with no disruption to current capacity. It would add somewhere around 10k seats bringing the capacity up to just under 43k. I'll let you do the math on increased revenue. Premier league money, even parachute payments would easily offset the build cost with a clever structured loan, sponsorship and the rest. I doubt Doug would even need to fund any of it. He bought the stadium for what 40m? It's worth now in excess of 125m by today's standards and increasing in value. It would become even more valuable after the works. It's just not difficult and not expensive if structured correctly. Oh, and the wait list would decrease, and your home fans will be forever grateful! At 32,500 current capacity in the championship, we are selling out and leaving thousands of supporters without tickets. How many more will be crying without the possability of a ticket in the premier league?Several clubs in the Premier League have a waiting list for season tickets.

All that wouldn't even need The Donald's help
Where’s the figure from?If the stadium is now worth in excess of £125mwhy did the astute businessman Mike Ashley sell it to us for £40m just 3 months ago ?
We've sold out like 6 times in 20 years hahahaha
This is just a guess, you have the fans who have supported us through thick and thin over many years and then the relative newcomers who only know success and as a result expectations and reality between the 2 sets are massively different.At least 6 times in the last year
I’ve never understood why we belittle our own fanbase so much. No other club does it.
It’s really weird
Ive no ideaWhere’s the figure from?

Seems like a list down to ground capacity rather than pure support.

You're better than that.
What reason?I put my Swansea ticket on the Exchange and it went within 5 minutes. First game I'll miss in years.
I do wonder what would happen if the game was called off for some reason?
IceWhat reason?
We'd be raided by US customs officers and they'd deport half the squad?
