Home fans in South Stand v Preston - Trial Confirmed (10 Viewers)

[Calista]

I suppose if you are clever enough with your ticket purchasing, you can reserve a bar and an entire set of bogs to yourself and avoid the queues.

So where precisely is the solid wall - between 13 and 12?

yes - the concourse runs all the way along the east north and west stands

Just had an email about the safe standing survey, but it's addressed to my daughter who hasn't been to see Cov since about 2007 lol

Its best if it doesn't sell too well during a trial run. I feel that the purpose of this isn't to see if the demand is there, just to demonstrate that it can be done safely and practically for when the demand is there.

Too big a crowd in there to start with will cause chaos and then that will be the last we hear of it

Fair play to the club for doing that. Hoped they would, assumed they wouldn't (or couldn't).

Can't quite work out how many we've sold overall. Did they open the blocks in the North Stand which are usually held back? If so, it could be a very healthy crowd.

Preston only bringing 700 I hear.

 

[pusbccfc]

Imagine how good this will look full. Hopefully a success tomorrow and we see this for the Leeds game. I'd love to limit them to 2000

My mate who bought one item from the online club shop as a gift for me once got an email. He’s never even set foot in Coventry.

Similar to Millwall. A tiny strip of white

We have Leeds , who will want 6k , along with Ipswich & now Hull . Of the other home games left , there’s only possibly QPR , last game of season, that might bring a few , so let’s restrict all comers to 2 - 3 k

Hopefully this is a practice for the Leeds game which like you say will sell out

“Come on you ungrateful twats, I’ve got 100 extra stewards on overtime in the south stand!”

I see
Attendances rising

Cokeheads on the way

12 & 13 have sold well. Should generate a good atmosphere

Bit of walk up and most of 11 should go as well. Decent crowd to test it out. I bet people move over during the game as well.

Especially after they charged our fans a small fortune.

You can't "officially". No access in the concourse and isnt there a fence still above the tunnel?

There's a fence and anyone who tries to climb over it is looking at getting booted out

Good point. Even if those the other side move over I hope there’s some leeway in letting people in from other stands. Ideally it would sort itself but you’re right it requires going in the wrong turnstile and you can’t do that mid game.

 

[napolimp]

Starting to look really healthy now. You'd think a lot of those will go with the walk-ups. Could be a great view tonight from the West Stand, excluding the family zone which will likely be only half full.

No school at the weekend.?

Zero stewards stopping fans jumping the railing. Loads have done it.

 

[Tommo1993]

Not much point in this when the opposite corner is empty as fuck

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Is that the railing to get to the exit?

 

[Nick]

Scrap that trial if it means people shine their lights

 

[pusbccfc]

For 30 seconds it sounded brilliant.

One thing I would say is that from Block 15 you couldn't hear Preston fans even though they were clearly making an effort.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Give it back to the away fans, it jinxed it tonight. No coincidence all the goals came down that side

“Only 3 points off the play offs!”

Yeah, only if Hull lose. But then WBA will build a 7 point gap.

Just realises I've put this in the wrong thread but agreed

We should employ a sniper to shoot anyone doing that on Monday
