I think there are more than just ticket prices being considered by the Sunderland fans. Half of their fans seem to think Coventry is a city full of uncivilized barbarians!!

But a team who usually sells out against us, and most away games making general sale suggests something's amiss.
The ghost of 77 ?
Don't tell me that fucking bristol game
I remember when we played Hartlepool away about 11 years and I got charged £26 for a ticket. Thought that was scandalous at the timeTook my kids to Birmingham FC for a Saturday afternoon Championship game some years ago only to find there was not a penny reduction for kids when we got to the turnstile. No choice but to cough up.
Also, paid over £30 to see us play away at Piswich maybe 15 years ago. That was one huge ripoff...
That is the best ever reply from mr Grendel, you must be smoking something very specialFucking hell
For some of them, that "fucking bristol game" is more than enough for them to still trash talk us, boycott our games and generally despise us. The troubles over the last 5 years have only exacerbated their feelings.
I'm trying to provide a balance of opinion when they do post with a meagre level of success (not being abused after every post is a success in my books, compared to the reactions toward other Cov posters). Actually found the tweet from a Sunderland fan regarding the trashing of the Jimmy Hill garden and posted it there (thanks for the help LDN). I'm getting somewhere with the recent problems but I know to leave 1977 alone. I just say it was one man's actions and not to tar every other Coventry fan with the same brush.
That was when the attendance was counted on an abacus, I remember it wellI remember buying tickets to see Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in the West Terrace at Highfield Road. Premiership prices ? Less than £25 each for an adult.
It's never the sole reason but it's a factor surelyI happen to agree with you on the kids/ young adult pricing, but I don't believe that is the sole reason for Sunderland not selling 5k this time round.

I remember getting into OT for less tha £3 in the Div 1 days . That was counted in stonesThat was when the attendance was counted on an abacus, I remember it well
Used to pay to get into OT with barm cakes or muffins , it’s still the currency up hereI remember getting into OT for less tha £3 in the Div 1 days . That was counted in stones
Way less civilised than us sophisticated bunch who live on Sheffield / Peak District border..............Used to pay to get into OT with barm cakes or muffins , it’s still the currency up here.

I’m a ST and have been for years . Every game at home home is an away game ( 274 ) miles around trip. I get no concessions and it cost me £100 on average just for home games . So it is what it is.Something should be done about away ticket prices.
The fans have to factor in travel and food as well so it works out a lot cheaper for home fans who can possibly walk up or a couple of quid in petrol and eat at home.

Forget 19,000 of those, we're in for the season.
We have around 11000 tickets to sell game by game. So far, for next week, between us and Sunderland we've sold about 3000 total. This price is clearly impacting on this so it needs to be reviewed. It was a real opportunity this season to fill the place and attract new supporters or turn more casuals into regulars. Charging kids £25 ain't going to achieve that.
there are less than half the 11,000 you claim left to sell.
I don't give a shiny shit about their feelings , fuck them .
Go back there and tell them that most coventry fans think they are cunts and nobody gives a fuck about happy Martian playing happy families
Not sure what you though I'd say to that reply but I bet it wasn't that
HeDon't worry, I probably have the same opinion about your opinionAnd I do give a fuck if it prevents more innocents being attacked from either club due to the moronic antiquated attitudes of a minority. If people want to fight and throw insults at each other, they should take football out of it and go be children in a field somewhere. I couldn't care less what happens then.
Fair play for your home game trips. My 180 mile round trip is enough .This is true … don’t big yourself up too much Chris
Doug does not strike me as the sort to give out freebiesThe kid ticket price is scandalous, but the blame for that has to largely be placed at the door of the adults that were taking the piss with concession tickets.
So the only way around it to allow the kids to claim stuff in the stadium to negate the price. Lots of parents talk about needing to feed the kids, so let them claim some free food and drink. Give them a programme for free when they go through the turnstile. Give them a t-shirt or a hat to take home.
Maybe a some shaving foam or one of those soap brushes.Doug does not strike me as the sort to give out freebies
Not great gifts for a primary school child I’d have thought.Maybe a some shaving foam or one of those soap brushes.
You choose how to spend your spare time how you like but I genuinely don’t see how any self respecting City fan could spend their time on that forum full of them arseholes making constant jibes about “Jimmy being in a box” and how “The best thing to come out of Coventry were the Nazis”Poor response considering our own fans were complaining about Cat A prices when they were announced. And we pay the same as the away fans.
Have been chatting with the Sunderland board for a week or two and a minority are using the Ghost of 1977 as an additional reason to boycott, that's something we're never going to repair so take those numbers out. But for a 3000 allocation (been told its reduced this year for them ??!!), 1400 is still low. A fair few of those responding to my posts are non-regular away fans getting their first loyalty points on their season tickets. That in itself says something about the feeling regarding the prices.
Have to agree with them, it's time clubs dropped the Cat prices and have a cap like in the Prem. Otherwise, fans will vote with their feet more frequently.
Yes but if he could scrounge them for free he might be happy to pass them on.Not great gifts for a primary school child I’d have thought.
