Cov v Stoke (5 Viewers)

[bigfatronssba]

And even if they do, the capacity seems to be about 31,000.

There's a few hundred seats in the South Stand that are empty next to and in despite of the segregation.

You mean the bit of block 9 on the home side of the segregation?
Probably about 300 seats there.

I do recall the club saying last summer after the segregation was put in that they were looking to maximise ticket sales further.
I bet the safety boffins stopped sales here which the club are hopefully working on to overturn.

As you say the current capacity is probably only just over 31k

Also even without segregation the number is probably only just over 32k. I think it was reduced slightly when the big scoreboard went in

Are we allowed to clap along with the “ THERE WAS only one mark robins “ chant before kick off, or will this be frowned upon,

*Edit for you.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

About 150-200 dots/tickets left by looks of it.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

I wonder why a game against lowly, drab Stoke is a sell-out?

Operation Premier League, nothing to do with Stoke.

 

[SkyBluePower]

The view is shit apparently

It’s ok - same as anywhere in the ground on the first couple of rows. If it rains you get wet though and the seats are a bit manky.
You do feel really close to the managers and subs though.

 

[itsabuzzard]

Someone who is good at edging?

If you don’t know what that is look it up, as I’m not explaining it

I've got a spare edging iron if anyone wants it.

Decent number of seats really. Currently a handful of police officers stand there but I'm not sure that requires all those seats.

 

[shmmeee]

From what I can tell on three sets of more than one seat left. I’d expect them to open something else up soon if they’ve got it.

Yes the CBS banner ones soon surely. It's virtually down to single tickets only behind the goal

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Enjoyed listening to Greatest Hits Radio this morning. A guy called Lee from Coventry doing Popmaster on the Ken Bruce Show. Gave a shout out to Frank Lampard at the end

 

[Major Tom]

Very respectful from Lampard, as you'd expect, comes across well:

If you couldn’t like Frank any more.. top bloke and he knows the play offs is where he needs to be. He will be more concerned about the players than especially those that have come in since Robins left over trying and losing focus.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

We've been getting wins by the odd goal recently, and Sheff Wed apart, we've deserved the wins and looked like we could give some team a good hammering, if it all just clicks...wouldn't it be poetry if we did that to Stoke ?

Happy with 1-0 or 2-1 o

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Happy with 1-0 or 2-1 o

I won’t I’ve got money on 4-1 and Bidders to score

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Every available ticket now sold unless they open up anything they're allowed to

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Because we are supporting our team. Which is on an amazing run

 

[Covkid1968#]

Am I reading into it too much… but although MR acknowledges the great results under FL… he then goes on to intimate that it would have happened anyway.. which sort of cancels out the positive stuff he says about FL.

I’m just clapping now… I have no intention of stepping foot anywhere near, let alone walking in the manager of Stokes wonderland.

 

[quinn1971]

Bet robins will be gutted when there’s no Collins, da silva or lati on the team sheet

Yeah he’s a bit salty
Not surprised but he is a bit salty

used to bad starts but just couldn’t see him turning this season around, players just didn’t look bothered, maybe we’d of improved a bit, but not as much as we have, Lampard came in and gave everyone a fresh start to impress and they have, look at the difference in simms and Clarke, cant See anything but a win, he said he knows our weaknesses, yeah they’re all on the bench

We’d won two of our last three before he was sacked but let’s not open this can of worms again.

Agree, but it was more the teams we were losing to and how, anyway happy “ send robins home with fuck all day “

 

[TomRad85]

Yeh then lost at home to the worst team in the league. Still their only away win.

What did I say about the worms Tom?

This is a fragile peace and these unwarranted attacks on Hamer and Robins are threatening it.

Alright fair. I actually won't mention Robins again all day. Match face on.
Torp in for Rudoni?

Well if Trump can get away with it there's no reason to fear it here!🫣

Still holding out hope we’ll bring back some acceptable form of 442 and Haji Wright is fit. But yeah Torp is probably the best bet. Gonna miss Rudonis crosses (and goals) today, I’d like to see Torp crashing the box and playing final balls more. He has the quality.

I think the same, Torp has the attributes to replace Rudoni pretty effectively imo.

He also said:

"I'm not taking any credit for it, my results weren't good enough, but at the end of it, the data was there to suggest it was in a really good place to go on, to go & turnaround"

Which is spot on. We were trending in the top 6 for pretty much all the underlying performance stats.

Almost to the day 8 years ago he walked through the door as we were about to get relegated to L2, the rest, as they say, is history, he can say what the fuck he wants!

 

[Evo1883]

We should be too good for stoke irrespective of wether da silva plays

 

[Evo1883]

Hes a big part of the reason we will have 30,000 at the arena today , 22k ST holders and kids supporting coventry in the city again .

He comes out and we give the greatest manager for decades a huge applause and show him we appreciate what he did for us and always will.

Then we destroy stoke

 

[SBT]

Is it OK if we clap him during the game, I’m not usually in my seat until right before kickoff

NO , just sit down and behave like an adult
