This is exactly the point. We realised that it would be a shambles queueing for your tickets last Saturday so made a special trip to Coventry to collect them on Friday. This is because the club couldn't be bothered to post them even though we had bought season tickets. It is entirely because...

Surely the sensible thing to do is go to the pub beforehand, and then possibly after the game too. That way you get to drink something decent, and without being robbed. The rubbish they serve up at football grounds generally would rule out a 'good drink'. Why are people so willing to pay well...

I just cannot fathom why people would even consider paying these ludicrous prices for refreshments. Surely people don't starve for the lack of a low quality pie that would cost 30p in Tesco or die of thirst for want of a bottle of warm piss. It's a football match, not a sodding party. I...

If you had understood my posts you would realise that it's not about getting a precise seat. It is about getting tickets when you live some distance away. Had they sorted out the Smart Card system we could have paid online and the card would admit you on the night. But I'd already said...

That's what I meant to say. Otherwise why buy a season ticket?

ST holders are entitled to their regular seats. The problem is that they are so badly organised. I would have to either make a trip to Coventry to collect my tickets or buy online and take a chance on them arriving in the post - which they didn't for Yeovil. This is all down to the fact that...

Barring last season, I have had a season ticket since 1967 and I'm sure this will be the first time that it will not be possible to have my own seat. Since the introduction of the Smart Cards it has always been possible to go online and pay, and the match is automatically added so that the card...

What good would that do? They would still require a Consumer Credit Licence if they did that.

Maybe this is all part of the master plan. Wasps buy the Ricoh and then ground share with Coventry Rugby Club. That leaves the Butts Park Arena empty. So Fisher and his cast of clowns buy that and upgrade it to be a 12000 capacity stadium. Voila......one new stadium, owned outright, with all...

I am not surprised that the club cannot get a Consumer Credit licence. In fact I stated in a post a few weeks ago that I thought this would be the case when some people were asking if they could buy season tickets by instalments. The club used to have one which I believe was in the name of the...

Ungentlemanly conduct has been redesignated unsporting behaviour and is a yellow card offence. Violent conduct is a red card offence. There doesn't have to be contact, so if you swing a punch and miss, it is still a red card. There isn't much doubt that what Johnson did was correctly seen as...

Same with us. But we had to go and collect our Yeovil tickets on Friday as they never posted them and we knew it would be a fiasco on Saturday, which indeed it was. At least we have our Preston tickets which were in the envelope too. They have a week between Preston and Crawley during which...

I would estimate between 12-13000. The fiasco with the season tickets should be resolved by then and we all have our tickets for that game already. If they are still expecting ST holders to queue for tickets they have already bought then they don't deserve any better. That game will be a...

What I cannot understand is why some people are talking about 'excuses not to go' to home games. People do not need to have an excuse. They may just choose not to go because they don't want to, for a myriad of reasons. It's as simple as that. What the club needs to do is to give the...

I can't get my head round that at all. I heard some people moaning about the cost of the beer yesterday before the game when I was chatting to people in the concourse. But they were still buying it! What's that all about? I wouldn't dream of paying anything like that for a beer anywhere...

I think that yesterday's 11000 was a realistic expectation, given the exceptional circumstances the previous week. It will probably stay at 11-12000 for Preston and Crawley. A consistent winning team and a healthy league position will see that increase slowly, particularly if we are around the...

3 wins and 3 draws in the League is a start, but there is much further to go in order to convince those who have seen it all before. Remember that prior to Gillingham we had won 3 games out of the last 18 in the league. I just get the feeling that one or two people are counting chickens rather...

The problem here is that you are hoping/expecting the supporters to get behind the team in the anticipation of them improving and becoming successful. The reality has always been the other way round. There will need to be some success on the pitch to entice back those who have gone AWOL over...

This is actually an important point. Let's face it, nobody went last week because it was Gillingham. It was a one-off event for the city and the opponents were irrelevant. I know of people who had never been to a game before and will probably never go again but went because it was a big...

I think the gate yesterday was what I had expected. I had predicted 12000 for Yeovil prior to the Gillingham game so it was about right. So many have been alienated over many years that our hardcore fanbase is now around those 11000. That will only improve gradually as people realise that it...
