Could be 1500 there. I'm looking forward to it, first time there and meeting a few mates I haven't seen in ages.

Looks like Leicester haven't sold all their 2640 allocation to West Ham yet .

And they won't. There home support is larger than ours because when they got their fancy new stadium they were in the Prem - we weren't. Leicester's away support is absolute dogshit, the Leicester supporters trust had to write a letter to the club to encourage more supporters to stand at away games because the majority of the time they just sit down. When they were top of the Championship they only had 600 at Millwall, we're taking 1,500+ tomorrow for our fourth season in League One.

They moved into the new stadium whilst they were in Division 1. They get better support because they're better supported.

Really? Whilst I'm not dismissing times have changed but in 2000 when Leicester finished 8th in the Premier League and won the League Cup they still weren't selling out Filbert Street with an average attendance of 19,827 whilst we finished 14th with 20,809. It seems to me that Leicester took to a bigger stadium better and we never(so far anyway).

You just have to look at Southampton I guess - the Dell wasn't full all the time and then St Mary's comes along and they have 30,000 wanting to watch them. We fall out of the Premier League at exactly the worst time possible where all this rich money was coming in and the Premier League went worldwide and everyone wanted to watch it.

If only the Ricoh had been built when it was supposed to have been who knows where we would be now.

It's all a bit dissapointing when we're the only club who has moved to a bigger stadium and it hasn't worked out when it has for every other team Leicester, Brighton Southampton etc

I'm surprised to be fair.....Its the last chance to visit the Boleyn before its sadly flattened.....a proper old football ground....nice & close to the pitch side.

I remember visiting there as a teenager in the late 80's.......standing on what I think was the north bank terrace wondering what the stroll up Green Street would be like if we won......we drew 1-1 and I very nearly pissed my pants as they'd closed the bogs about 5 mins before the end of the game cos some twats had smashed them up.....

The last time i went there i think we were hammered 0-5, we have about 800 there but everyone was dancing up and down the away end. The WH fans couldnt get their head around why we were all having such a good time!

Ha ha... I remember going to the baggies about 10 years back & we got absolutely tonked.....but still had a 2000+ strong twist & shout party.....

....Theres certainly something very "Coventry" about enjoying an away day, regardless of the football.
