Coventry fans are in the top few especially away from home for numbers and noise. It’s acknowledged time and again from opposing supporters.

We were shite in the first half! Genuinely not a song for 40 minutes.

Heard the upper tier were more positive and loud compared to lower tier.
I know this as half of us were in bottom tier which sounded depressing.

Don't think it helps being put in 2 tiers. The lower tier is like being in a non league ground. It's a tight, old school ground and reminds me of a neater version of Luton's dump.

It's a great ground to go as an away fan once a season but let's be honest, it would be fucking uncomfortable every week.

I was in the top and it was awful.

The top tier is a fire hazard waiting to happen, took forever to get everyone out at the end.

Video going round of Cov and QPR yoof having it out

Exactly, and the end wasn't even as populated as last season when they gave us more tickets.
I love old school grounds but the toilets are shite and it's impossible to get food/drink. The view can be dreadful and it takes forever to get out.
People moan on here when you have to queue at the turnstiles at the CBS.

And Cov fans in the corporate seats.

£31 ticket to QPR away; fucking bliss!
It happened as we were walking back to Westfields. Handbags really, about half a dozen 16 year oldish QPR tried to attack some Cov fans by the coaches. I think one punch was thrown and then Cov chased them down the road. One of the QPR lads got a whack off a copper when they came round the other side.
I think the corporate kick off was a bit more serious.

Yep my thoughts, love the ground and the retro-ness of it, but if there were a fire or some kind of explosion on concourse in the top tier from one of the food outlets, it could be lethal if there were panic. No easy escape from it.

Was weird - a group of (dozen at the most) QPR came round by the coaches from a side street and at first the nearby City fans just seemed to be laughing at them, Then a couple of punches thrown by one or two of the QPR fans, with a city fan or two giving it back, then a lot of City youngsters chased them down the side street, followed quickly by the police.

If you listen closely you can hear the QPR saying: ‘arry up lads or we’ll get fackin’ pinched
No idea how they get a safety certificate for that upper tier, zero chance of safely getting out if there was a major incident. Same applies to upper tier at Blackburn.

Neaterer, then !! Luton's ground always looked like it had been designed by a group of kids, based on matchboxes. I know they have done a lot more work on it recently, but QPR's feels like similar dimensions, but just a bit more aesthetically pleasing. Just my opinion (agree though, with others that the concourse areas - particularly upper tier - feel like an accident waiting to happen.

It wasn't a grammar observation. I know Luton's ground is bad but this one feels dangerous as well as shabby.

Last season I was in the upper, this season in lower, so it was hard to compare, but I agree in terms of experience. Still enjoyed that second half, though.

Very good. Interesting Leicester didn't sell out Blackburn today, or Southampton on a Friday a few weeks back. They tried hammering us for taking a few days to sell out Swansea...
Will only increase too. Hopefully given 4000 at Bristol which we may sell out. Preston on a Saturday for the first time in a decade will sell out at 4500. I'd imagine we'll sell 2500 at Millwall again too.
Whilst our away following is seriously impressive, i don't see either of those happening. Would be great if they did though.

Sunderland easily have best support numbers wise in the league. But I don't get how they are so far ahead of everyone else in this table. Do they just get massive allocations everywhere ?
bigfatronssba

They had PNE away first game didn’t they? That’s a huge allocation
They have played PNE, Blackburn, QPR and us so far, four of the biggest allocations in the league. That figure will come down. It's almost impossible to average more than 3K is this league.

Stoke's away support has declined quite a lot

Bristol may be too expensive, but Preston will sell out.
