Away from the obvious questions which I’m sure you’re already sorted with. Are there any plans to get back involved with Coventry City Ladies again? Seems the perfect time to reunite.

What’s the plan?

Were likely going into a summer with some big fees coming in, the crowds are growing, and we have a stable management team that have got us to the edge of the playoffs on a shoe string. What’s next?

Match day has improved a bit with less onerous security and bigger crowds. Is the club talking to the SCG about both how we can retain and improve the atmosphere as well as plans if we start to sell over 25k?

As said above whats the plan?

We all know Viks going but will Robins get 90% of that to do some serious damage?

Can you ask if there's any possibility having a fan representative, although god knows how we'd pick someone, attend the safety group meetings, or at the very least a one off meeting with those involved

We get fobbed off with 'we can't do anything about it' but never really get an answer to why we have these restrictions when no other club does and when some of the restrictions pretty much everyone but the safety group can see make things worse

As above. Please can we have some serious questions about how the SAG/club/fans are going to work together to continue the good atmosphere.

Is there any option of opening Block 13 as the demand for sitting in the corner is so high?

Will the club actively engage with Fraser's to consider safe standing?

Are the fan's going to know if the football club has an agreement to play at the CBS next season BEFORE season tickets go on sale.

Safe standing is a big one, I think. Thousands stand every home game. Might as well make it safe.

They'd never say Viks going so you wouldn't get an answer to that.

Would you consider renaming Legends Day as Former Players Day next season to avoid confusion?

What's your opinion on the Allen vs Palmer debate?

Did the club ever consider entering the race for Hudlin and if not, why not?

Where can you buy chips in the stadium? I keep seeing people with them since Christmas but they're never on the menu.

Serious one now, what can be done to get people away from the ground quicker after? We don't leave early and clap the players off but then the horrendously expensive car park takes an eternity to empty.

Most games sit there for the best part of an hour as everyone jockeys for position arguing like fek if someone gets 1 car ahead of them.

Not parked in the official car parks for a while but there was zero traffic management when I last did. The staff all disappear and the car park is a complete free for all

Add in that there's zero road management either and it's a recipe for disaster

Get some traffic management in the car parks so everyone has to go one way, one queue of traffic going out will move much faster than people stopping to let others in. Then there needs to be some road management. Don't let cars stop on Judds Lane and hold traffic coming down A444 from the M6. Final piece of the puzzle is to let traffic out from car park B directly onto the A444

All pretty basic event management stuff that has never happened, probably because there's a cost attached to keeping the car parks staff and paying the relevant authorities for road management

They need to open the road around the stadium earlier too, five or ten mins from the final whistle it’s mostly deserted. A little guidance on direction of travel and right of way, and a sensibly managed roundabout would make the world of difference.

It's really an issue with the bigger crowds but imagine we actually get to the Premiership and add another 10,000 to our number, it would be chaos.

Can we go back to the toilets not having an assigned entrance and exit, just leads to half the toilet being empty, a massive queue and people crying when you walk through the exit despite their being more than enough space

People that enter through the exit are fucking bellends and should face a banning order.

Treat people with kindness by using the toilet facilities properly rather than queue jumping and getting in people's way.

I don’t get in anyone’s way and it makes it quicker for those who would queue behind me. No point standing in a queue when half the toilet is empty, I’m doing people a favour

You do get in the way. So many times I've been leaving the toilets and had to either wait or squeeze past some inconsiderate bellend coming in the wrong way.

The toilets at the far end aren't as packed as the ones nearest the entrance (hence why I try and use those), but they're not half empty by any means. Still have to wait, and then some dickhead just pushes in from the exit.

It’s actually far more considerate going in the exit than queuing, it’s what Harry would do

The situation with the train station is an embarrassment to the city.
