Segregating would be easy with a re-shuffle. Put away fans in blocks 1,2,3,4,5 and close block 6 so there is a gap. That leaves the rest for CCFC fans sorted!

The best you can hope for is away fans in 7,8 and open up 10,11,12,13 & 14 to city fans
I doubt they would want the Crewe fans entering through the atrium and reception and funnelling down to the corner past all the corporate lounges, its just not really practical. We may revert to that 07-08 seating option which should be enough.
With regards to the away game at crewe, can't see Crewe filling their ground but heard that we are only getting 2,300 and once they are gone that's it. Reckon we could easily take 4k
Yeah I agree, season ticket holders will snap them up but only fairThat is 2 sides of their ground though, unrealistic to expect more. We'd could sell a lot more than 4k for this. The 2300 will sell tomorrow morning in under 2 hours I reckon.
Good idea...Done
"Dear Sir/Madam.
With regard to the Crewe home fixture in the JPT- and with only 1000-1500 Crewe fans expected is it not reasonable to consider selling blocks 6,7 and 8 to Crewe fans and then selling tickets to CCFC fans in 10,11,12,13,14. This would leave 1 block(9) as a safety zone- allow CCFC fans more of a ticket allocation and if, as we are led to believe all too often by the '12th man' cliche re the importance of home fans, would see CCFC supporters behind the goal at both end of the ground.This I would assume is a low risk category game. Please consider this.
As a general notion quite why CCFC continue to employ the barren nature of blocks 9,10, 11 etc for league games mystify's me. Accepting lower attendances- surely some CCFC fans behind both goals for all games is better than the barren landscape which all to often greets Marks men as they kick toward the south stand? As a CCFC travelling fan I can think of many grounds where we the sky blue faithful are displaced to a corner, with a less than clear view, whilst home fans reside favourably seated. Its time to make our advantage pay!"
chances of a reply.....?
In all fairness- the club have responded so my cynical question not justified- public apology due- Sorry CCFC- I do wonder though if Block 15' ers would move over to be behind the goal and increase the "banter" with opposition fans?
Hi @@@@
Thanks for your email, I had read your post on Sky Blues Talk yesterday so please feel free to post the response back up.
In the initial stages we have to offer Crewe 15% of the stadium to sell but if they don’t take these, which it doesn’t look like they will , then we would look at opening more of the ground for home fans should the demand for tickets be there.
As with all games, due to the additional costs incurred when opening these blocks, they will only go on sale once the other areas of the stadium are filled but I sincerely hope that this is the case. As I’m sure you know, we have unsuccessfully tried to open that area to home fans permanently before but for a number of reasons we were forced to close it. The number of fans that wanted to move into that area wasn’t as big as we thought it would be either.
I can assure that even before this game went on sale we have discussed opening that area of the ground once we have sold the required number of tickets and we will should the demand dictate we do.
Best Regards
Pretty much what I said tbf.
You also said 4-4-2 wouldn't work.. and yet it brought us 2 goals on Saturday....well 4-4-1-1
yeah I'm with you.. only Joshing given our previous debates.!!
I agree that when we went 4-4-1-1 the lack of a midfield holding/screen in front of Edge and Woody exposed them and we did struggle.. equally I think Clarke genuinely needs a partner to run off and for him. There isn't an easy answer, unless we field 12 players!!
