Nice - Is there an updated version of that map?

Not that I’ve seen.

Like you say it would be good if there was. This still has the scoreboard as being in the corner

The Main Stand seats either side of the dug out are now on sale, these should be on sale every week in my opinion as prime seating

I imagine the Cov Building Society pay a fair amount to get their name right behind the dugout

I'm sure that if the demand for season tickets was there, that provided more revenue than the CBS sponsors, then they'd be on sale.

Club Coventry in blocks B & E is sold out every week and these tickets are in those blocks at the front. The reason they can't be used for hospitality is because the lounges are full to capacity. Bit of a design error originally. I guess it would be hard to sell as a premium season ticket. £925 for Club Coventry and £500 for Premium East stand so priced in between that would many people pay around the £700 mark?

Doesn't sound an easy problem to fix either. How was this not picked up at the design stage.

There's no facilities in that stand really to use it as non-corporate. Hardly any toilets, no food & beverage outlets. So you can only assume the plan was always for that to be corporate, major fuck up to then not have the capacity to use it all.

Not sure that's a particularly easy problem to fix either.

The original design of the whole grounds seems to assume that we would never fill it. It’s only become apparent in the last few years.
The fact the away allocation was 6k with no ability for home fans to easily share that area as required highlights it.

Shocking really as I remember the club saying at the time that they needed an average attendance of 23k just to pay the rent

Bullshit, the South Stand was designed to be split if needed.

It has various roller shutters to segregate

Yes indeed. The big lounge at the top which is used for dining has a massive capacity but faces onto the Balcony- which I think was designed as the Uber Prawn seats but no one really wants to sit there. To use this for the club Coventry area you would still have to have people trapse through the current first floor lounge to get to their seats which isn’t ideal.

I suspect next year we might see a refresh of the hospitality packages - there isn’t really much of a difference between the legends and the club Coventry offers and the vice presidents lounge isn’t even very nice for the money.

The capacity of that stand is so low that you don't need much in terms of facilities. Half of the people are in boxes/lounges anyway. The general admission capacity, even with the two blocks usually covered is very low.

Blocks 1,2 and 3 were the original JSB area.

How many times have we sold the home ends out at the CBS in the league? Can't be many.

First 3 games in 2005

Gillingham in 2014

Possibly Accrington Stanley in 2018

Birmingham 2023

Sheff Wed, Leicester, Leeds, Swansea last season

Did the home end fully sell for Swansea? Don't think they opened those extra blocks in the West Stand?

The ones behind the dugout?

Looks like they were open but didn’t all sell. So maybe discount that game

Pretty sure the Accrington one was the free ticket giveaway to school kids but didn't sell out.

It was 28k (a record for League 2 that stands to this day)

It must've been fairly close to a home sell out as Accrington wouldn't have brought more than a few hundred

Damn missed getting 2 tickets for plymouth was meant to buy the £45 tickets on Saturday.

is there a chance of any more becoming available before Thursday eg returns?

Go on the Plymouth website and buy some, then just sit on your own away from their fans. They'll be plenty of room

I remember they had hardly any fans in the top corner where the away fans are now. Fairly close but there was loads of seats around on the day.
