So....by my reckoning, the Leicester urban area has a maximum of 3,048,000 fingers and toes...

The Coventry Urban area has a population of 360k. The Leicester urban area has a population of 508k. The two cities are not comparable.
Block 26 now openTickets sales looking good, only 3 spots in the whole stadium where 2 seats together, they'll have to open up the other blocks soon
The urban area figures you are quoting are out of date. Irrespective, team support isn’t based purely on the built-up conurbation of a city or town, surely?I think people have delusions of how big Coventry is.

As an aside, the urban population stat for Leicester includes Wigston and Oadby which isn’t too dissimilar to Coventry if Bedworth and Nuneaton were included in the urban populace.
Also, Exhall is included in the built-up area for Coventry but Bedworth isn’t despite being connected to Exhall. Binley Woods is included despite being practically no closer to Coventry than Kenilworth. Millison’s Wood is excluded despite being historically part of Allesley and although considered part of Meriden is almost as close to Eastern Green as it is to Meriden.
It’s all very muddy, you might as well stick a finger in the air and say the potential support for Leicester is the City and County of Leicestershire and for Coventry it’s Coventry and Warwickshire despite both having supporters worldwide.
The size of the city is irrelevant or Birmingham would get 50k per game. It's about the product on the pitch and nothing else. Comparing us to what are now an ex PL winner and a reasonably established PL side isn't apples to apples.
If we push top 6 this season we'll be selling out more often than not IMO.

Cinema shouldn't cost more than £10, gigs shouldn't cost more than £50 and a train to Brum should be no more than £2.50. Wake up it's not 2008
Birmingham are competing with a club who are in the top 10 biggest in the country plus others in the wider Birmingham area.
We are competing with Leamington and Nuneaton in the wider area of Warwickshire.
Yep, the figures are all a bit messy.
In 2010 there were about 950,000 people with an LE postcode and around 820,000 with a CV postcode.
It's likely to have grown to around a 1,000,000 in CV, as Doug mentioned. That's a lot of people with some form of connection to Coventry.
And Arsenal are competing with tens or hundreds of teams. Man City compete with Man Utd.
If you put on a decent product it doesn’t matter where you are or what’s around you.
Block 26 now open
Of course but that's the whole point, we need to tap into it. Clearly it's working with season tickets but the long term aim is to develop the fan base like Leicester have through some success.
There are tiny towns in this country like Burnley pulling in 21k a week consistently. We should be looking at 26k a week this season but we are limited but outrageous matchday prices and still no match packages.
Yes supply and demand.It’s simple supply and demand, would you sell a car for 15k if someone was prepared to pay 18k.

With less fingers.But we have more families
City are maximising revenue on the back of a bit of success. They obviously think this will continue as they knew they were investing more so people have to pay what it’s worth.Yes supply and demand.
If you had 12,000 cars and someone was prepared to pay 18k what about the other 11,999?
Ambition is considering the future. Pricing children out of becoming long term supporters isn't considering the future.City are maximising revenue on the back of a bit of success. They obviously think this will continue as they knew they were investing more so people have to pay what it’s worth.
I doubt they would have put these prices there if they thought it was gonna be a poor season, shows ambition for me.
There are probably more kid season ticket holder than ever (genuine ones).Ambition is considering the future. Pricing children out of becoming long term supporters isn't considering the future.
All empty seats are also a lost opportunity and lost income.
No true but if its an adult bum on a seat when we're up there, of course you could they will adults but until then?Ambition is considering the future. Pricing children out of becoming long term supporters isn't considering the future.

How many kids with a ST got charged £25 for one game?There are probably more kid season ticket holder than ever (genuine ones).
I got hooked as a kid. Went with mates. Didn't have an adult to take me.No true but if its an adult bum on a seat when we're up there, of course you could they will adults but until then?
It’s not £25 though is it. A kid u14 JSB member can get a ticket for a cat c game for £10 u18 £15 people are bending the facts to support an argument. People should just take very young kids Cat C games.I got hooked as a kid. Went with mates. Didn't have an adult to take me.
Could I raise £25 as a kid?
Every situation is different. STH's that take kids to occasional games won't pay £25 for their kids. The occasional supporter taking a couple of kids will think twice about paying nearly £100.
There's no defence for charging kids £25. If we sold out nearly every week it would be a different matter. But how many times have we sold out in the last 20 years?
How much is a JSB membership?It’s not £25 though is it. A kid u14 JSB member can get a ticket for a cat c game for £10 u18 £15 people are bending the facts to support an argument. People should just take very young kids Cat C games.

Go the ticket office, buy an additional ticket and ask them to move your seat for one game so they are together. Did it many times last season. Also in the JSB pack there are loads of vouchers to takes people with you cheaply.how can a STH take a child to an occasional game?
£50, the same as a season ticket. It looks like they were saying to people just get a season ticket. Surely most adults could afford the £250 per year to go with it.How much is a JSB membership?

They have opened about 10 rows. By this stage against Boro blocks 4, 5 and 27 were fully opened and well populated.
We ought to be selling more home tickets for this than an early kick off televised game and yet sales are behind and will remain so it seems. There is no positive spin here, these prices have not worked.
Stoke and Albion fans called for boycotts at last season's prices but didn't really act, but you'd expect there would be some follow through this season. You feel like we've crossed a line. There has been so much negative publicity over this.
I paid 325 for my 2 kids season tickets£50, the same as a season ticket. It looks like they were saying to people just get a season ticket. Surely most adults could afford the £250 per year to go with it.
Not sure even if they sell they are good prices for kids“these prices have not worked”- its Tuesday. At least give it until the match to make conclusions like that.
People could have paid £250 for an adult and £50 for kids in Family zone for season tickets. They were on sale a while before they sold out.I paid 325 for my 2 kids season tickets
Yes but that's no longer an optionPeople could have paid £250 for an adult and £50 for kids in Family zone for season tickets. They were on sale a while before they sold out.
