Entry between 1-3pm only
Why are the club and council so useless? This is such a poorly organised event. I would be amazed if it sold out. None of our group of 10 ST holders are bothering with the parade or Memorial Park

It's deliberately planned this way, the events overlap to prevent a huge wave of people watching the end of the parade and then attempting to enter the park at the same time. It's on safety grounds. Not sure I think it is justified, but not as though they made a mistake when planning it. A lot of it is down the police, their presence will be huge I'm told. The WhatsApp group I'm in has around 20 ST holders and all are going and I've received countless requests from people asking if I can get them a ticket. This sells within an hour of going on general sale.

Pretty sure if people make enough noise that they will overturn the 3pm thing.

They won't. Police will have told them it's that or nothing

 

[Skybluekyle]

Which is ridiculous

The holyhead are holding a festival on this day, so i think we will knock it on the head and just make camp there for the parade

Holyhead is literally five minutes from my front door so if you're there I'll make sure to avoid...

 

[Balli001]

We love making hard work of eveything, this was a walk in the park after Wembley tickets, buy a ticket, find somewhere on the route to see them, then go to the memorial park, can guarantee you won’t be turned away with a ticket after 3,

Can guarantee you will

 

[Milan's hair dye]

Its clearly for crowd control. They don't want thousands of people going to the parade then try to dash across the city to the park.

Take 50k away from the parade and our bus parade is going to be the laughing stock of the EFL and premier league, just watch.
It's already been given a pretty weird route.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

How does every other city manage to hold huge events then? The Leicester title winning parade fetched 250k+, going through the city centre, with a festival in a park after. No bother.

stop excusing piss poor organisation

Its another Doug complete fuck up.

Where was I excusing it, I said I didn't think it was justified, but it's what drove the decision because the police insisted on it. Take it up with WM police.

 

[quinn1971]

Can guarantee you will

didnt At Godiva, got in way after it said, theyll put it back , it’s a mistake, they want you in at 3 to Be there for when the players arrive at 4, no chance, you can add an hour on to that

 

[Milan's hair dye]

Fuck it, tour then pub.
Planning both to start at same time is a mega fuck up.

I assume you were among the 250k

The whole route will be rammed even without the 50K. It surprises me that people don't seem to appreciate how many will turn out for this. Numbers will be huge.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Id assume it is GIMOC

Theyr‘e in for a surprise, make 87 look like the jolly boys outing

Yep, 250K in 87 (these figures are obviously estimates), but think there will be more this time.

Well don't cry when they don't let you in then

 

[Otis]

Was going to go for the Memorial Park, but have now decided against it.

The key part of the day for me is seeing the bus and the players and manager parading around Coventry and showing off the trophy.

So, am just going to do that and will try and catch them on the route and either follow them, or take a short cut to Hearsall Common.

Then will try and catch some of the Earsldon Festival.

The appeal for the Memorial Park for me, has greatly lessened.

Just seeing the players and FL and the bus parading around the streets of Coventry will be the perfect day for me

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Why dont they just extend the closing time to 9pm, we're not babies ffs. That way it's a win win, last entry at 5pm and everyone is happy

 

[Johnnythespider]

Should maybe put some decent bands on then to get people in early apart from The Enemy who everyone's seen a million times and probably some no mark tribute act from Wyken

Take That tribute without Mark, f**k that

I'm not surprised it'll sell in an hour if The Police are playing, huge.

ill try not to

You're probably already aware Otis but the players will all be heading to the park after the parade, it's not like people who go to the park won't see them and the trophy.

 

[MTK]

Complication for us as two STHs, is will the people we want to go to the park with get tickets on Wednesday? If not we may all do the parade and Hearsall Common and then go for drinks and food. Craven Street could be busy!

 

[Nick]

Will get a ticket but there's not much info about it is there?

 

[quinn1971]

We are back signs on every seat sunday, theyv’e even said how to use them

 

[Pusb1]

Grennan been on sky saying he'll be 'singing a few songs'so expect him to be added to the lineup

 

[Hincha]

Every uk day festival does a 5pm last entry but if you rock up at 6pm it’s fine

They have to say it for crowd control purposes - they obviously don’t want half the city in Hearsall Common then descending on Memorial Park

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Hope the turnout for the parade and memorial is good despite the grumblings

 

[Evo1883]

Hope the turnout for the parade and memorial is good despite the grumblings

Most people arent on social media moaning about it , most people are just going


It will be well attended

Exactly, some think you won’t get in at 10 past 3

 

[Jarvo87]

Ticket buying is straightforward using the normal way to buy away or special match tickets - initially found it very cumbersome following the link off the webpage - done and dusted in a few clicks and assignes to all linked STH's in the usual way.

As others have said, at this stage the organisation feels a bit rushed and ill thought through re access and timings etc.

Bit of a pain that can only get tickets for daughter/myself and will have to wait until Wednesday to pick one up for the wife. Hope they havent sold out by the time I can login....

I know, but it will be later.

Will think the real excitement will be the parade around the streets
