Can’t believe people would be happy to lose… This competition gave this club it’s finest, and being brutally honest it’s only moment in the sun - Show it some respect

Really hope we're not outnumbered but ticket sales still look really poor. What does lower tier hospitality hold 500?

Feel sorry for the club - priced fairly, interest just isn’t there - Poor showing from our fans

Calm down folk, with the advent of Print at home tickets right up to the day of the game, many will and can make last minute decisions

We have already outsold them. I'd estimate around 5000 home tickets sold.

Majority will buy tomorrow or on the day for it.

Perfect for an early night out watching the match then off for a few shandy’s after the game. Not sure why people can’t be arsed for £13 for a night out?

I do wonder sometimes if some of the city support isn't really that ingrained with the club.

Heard it all …..It’s parking, mates not going so I’m not sitting on my own bollocks, it’s raining, it’s little Wrexham innit?, I’m skint (but will be out that night drinking Stella at £4.50 a pint), kick off times a bit late, leave it till last minute to decide, going out with missus even though game finishes 7.15pm excuse, excuse, excuse fucking excuse….

Well I have often said that in a cup competition Coventry City are capable of losing to the Southam and District Girls Under 13s 3rd team. And when we are subject to a giant killing we don’t just lose narrowly or unluckily, like everyone else does, we tend to get outclassed. So the prospect of yet another humiliation in front of nearly 5000 Welsh enjoying their best ever day out hasn’t exactly energised me. Luckily the wife has intervened and ordered me to take her to London for the day, with no chance of a reprieve.
Anyway, that’s my excuse.

Like I said earlier in this thread, there's a big excuse culture within the wider fanbase/the city itself.

Last week it was too expensive. They've made the game incredibly affordable and no one wants to go.

The other week it's to do with a lack of atmosphere and away support.

Years back it was because there was nowhere to drink before the game. There's plenty of options now.

A lot of people in this city won't go unless they are given a free ticket, we are playing at Wembley or it's a fiver in the JPT.

Look at Wasps. Came in and gave tickets away and the people of Coventry jumped all over it. The moment they took them away and the bandwagon finished, people didn't want to know.

I've been critical of the points system but if we ever managed to get into the PL, the points amassed will add up and getting a ticket away at Villa will be difficult for people who don't go to games like this.

Then they can't complain if they ever miss out on away tickets in future because they are too short on points.

Over a few years, missing out cup games will push you down the list.

Even that day was a very poor crowd. First time in the play offs and only 15k. One of the most disappointing crowds I can remember.

My nephew purchased 3 adult tkts online the other day but my boy (u13) wants to go now.
Can't buy a child tkt online without an adult tkt.
What chance do you think of capitalising on the £2 offer on matchday if we present the e-ticket as proof of adult purchase on the gate or tkt office?
Have emailed and rang ticket office but surprise surprise - No reply.
