Is that a joke?

Competency off the pitch is still a shambles. However ambition, and intention is vastly improved. Investment in Ryton is welcome, and investment in the stadium means we’re at the CBS indefinitely now. Allowing the manager the overwhelming majority of transfer fee income is something that no...

The blocks next to the away fans that makes sense. When it’s block 27, which is going to have an open block either side of it any it just seems silly. As both adjoining blocks will be open, the stairwell will already need a steward

I think people have delusions of how big Coventry is. The Coventry Urban area has a population of 360k. The Leicester urban area has a population of 508k. The two cities are not comparable.

No we’re not. We’ve currently sold around 20.5k non corporate home tickets. Even with a Conservative estimate of corporate being half full, that brings us to 22k home fans. With 5 days of sale still to go

We’re not looking at a lower turn out though. Let’s see how many are at the Huddersfield game

I understand what you’re saying, honestly I do. I’m playing devils advocate slightly. I just find it hilarious that people think 22k home fans is poor

Are there poor matchday sales? Bank holiday weekend, nothing directly riding on the game, 22k+ home fans in attendance. How many were you expecting?

It was more the phrase “I don’t care about revenues” that I objected to. We should all care. If we had more in the past we might’ve not just had 20 years of hell

That’s a perfectly reasonable argument. However, you have to acknowledge the income needs to come from somewhere. So if not from kid’s tickets, from where?

No, what I am saying is if you did reduce kids prices you’d either have to replace that income from elsewhere (where?) or cut expenditure

Fine, but if that’s all you care about we’ll be back in 2013 before you know it. Everyone has an opinion on what the club should be charging. I’ve not seen one comment about how to otherwise generate income.

Whether you agree with this pricing or not, you should care about revenues. The business has to be sustainable

All I’m trying to say is ticket sales are similar to the Boro game. I’m not getting into it anymore than that

No we didn’t. This image is from the Sunday before and block 27 was still closed

But we hadn’t opened up all of block 25, which we have now. All we’ve done is open block 25 instead of 4&5. It’s roughly the same amount of tickets

This was remaining ticket sales a week before the Boro game. Near identical to where we are now

And we hadn’t at this stage before the Boro game either. We have opened up the rest of block 25

Ticket sales are near identical to the Boro game so far

I think we all agree that such high prices for kids isn’t fair. I guess a balance needs to be had with maximising income and fair prices
