Always a possibility that you could get some more of the upper tier. We have started selling from the Royal Box side on the top tier so, unless we get all the way round, extras might be available.

Maybe not complain. But I had to wait until today. I get my tickets bought for me or pay on the gate. I travel thousands of miles each year following our club. So in another 30 years will start buying my own tickets ready for our next visit to Wembley.

Our dot counting team are doing predictions as well........ you might get some more in the 520`s.
"Accurate tally for Coventry was 1,231 seats left as of 9.30am so in fact it was about 5,500 sold in the first 90 minutes of today.
Last year (with approx 33,000-34,000 Oxford fans there) we only sold round to Block 520, so we could in theory give them some of the 520's Blocks adjacent to their (ours are 526 and lower) without depriving any Oxford fans of a chance of attending.
At the moment we are only at Block 503 but our sales are running only about 10% behind last year at comparative sales points which suggests we will get up to around 30,000 (at 22,000 already)."

I think we both know it is what it is however, and neither of us would be particularly ranting if we missed out as a result.
Just seen that the doors at the Butts didn't even open to 10 so all sold this morning have been sold online. Going to be some very unhappy people there this morning come 10:30.
Why has nobody started our version of Arsenal Fan TV to get down there and interview! sounds like a job for Hill

Certainly correct. Was just making the point that it isn't just those that have never stepped inside the Ricoh or haven't travelled all over the place following our club that have had to wait until today.
Ajaib Singh is the person at front of queue. He says “I’m here because I need to get a ticket for my disabled son and I can’t do that online.”
He says he’s worried he might miss out because tickets are now online.”
But as you know mate, hence you being in the queue, all disabled tickets have to be sold in the shop so how does tickets being online now effect you?

I thought that when I read it. Just trying to get the angry people to moan about it.

well according to our helpful oxford friends we might be due another few thousand after we sell out anyway so i'm sure everybody that wants one will still get one

"Hi guys, how do you feel about queuing up for hours when you don't need to and in the process causing many disabled people that do need to queue to wait in line in the cold for hours?"
Talk about stealing a living, man paid to report on 30 people buying tickets for a football match. He really has no shame, a proper journalist would have turned up, "nothing to see hear, lets go an do some proper work", SG "Excellent, lets waste a morning here, fire up the live feed."

I don't use the internet so I have no choice, I will be going straight home to express my anger on Facebook about this.

Jibes apart, it is a magnificent effort to sell the best part of 40,000 tickets when team is faring so poorly, the club is on its knees and the ownership is so despised. Bravo my fellow Sky Blues!

I don't mind it.
Beryl in the queue at Greggs in Shelton square is up later. There's 5 people in front of her but only 4 hot cross buns are left. Will she get one?
Coventry reacts.

It started at the Play off Final in 2010 when we re-emerged from the pits of despair (the Conference), then was re-instated for the JPT against Barnsley, so re-employing them was easy! :happy:
After our visit in `86 I never expected to see us there ever again let alone two years on the spin. TBH its a decent day out and there is half a chance of winning something..... whats not to like?

Only half a chance of winning? Remember it is us you are playing this time......
