I would imagine the walk up crowd will be quite big. Certainly if it is a day like today.
It's what me and a couple of mates are going to do.

Added to the Coventry City line-up are Bobby Gould, Marcus Hall, Dietmar Bruck, Terry Fleming, Ian Goodwin, Claus Bech Jørgensen and Peter Hormantschuk.
The latest additions follow on from the previous announced players, Darren Huckerby, Noel Whelan, Paul Hall, Dave Bennett and Terry Gibson.
Celebrities Andy Hopkins and Liam Watts from Coventry band The Enemy and Coronation Street star and Graeme Hawley will also feature in the match.

Travelling from Cheshire so can't get the Ricoh to pick tickets, so I'll be paying on the gate, bringing my two grandsons as well. Should be great day.

Well done to everyone organising this. In traditional English terminology, 'a bloody good show'. To already have 3k is amazing when it's online tickets only up until this morning. Great work everyone involved.
Even if we didn't get any more (which we obviously will) it's still at least double what the attendance will be at Sixfields.
My only concern is that the TF and Co still won't get the message after all of this. Mondays press release from him will be something along the lines of 'It was for charity and only £5 to get in, so we expected there to be a bigger gate at the Ricoh'.
Glad Deano that you've got Sky involved (apologies if it was anyone else). If I can't make it up from the South Coast on Sunday, I'm looking forward to seeing it covered on SSN!
Well done again,
WM

I really wish I could be there but an inconsiderate family member has scheduled their kids christening on the same day and I cant get out of it

Really looking forward to Sunday, I'll be there with the usual four I go to games with plus another three friends who all support other teams but keen on helping our cause. Will be paying on the gate and will get there early I think to avoid any ques.
This is going to be a really proud day and maybe gives back that buzz of why we support the Sky Blues.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the ticket office open today for the first day ???
If so I would expect that figure to double in a few days I think 10k minimum were looking at

Yes, just got ours too, us 2 plus 2 other family members. Only Main Stand being opened at present, expect it will be supply and demand.
3 serving on counter, so queue moved quickly.

Just been and bought 12 tickets. Only 3 of us have previously had season tickets. Some aren't even really 'in to' football at all but wanted to go to show support for the Cov in Cov campaign as even they feel its wrong that SISU moved the club to Northampton (not because of my point of view on it but just from what they've read and heard on the news.
Should be a really good afternoon.
