This will also be a real attendance figure unlike our league attendances which show 6500/7000 home fans have bought a ticket but actually theres in reality only 5/6 k there from missing season ticket holders.
I think to sell 5500 home tickets at that price at this time of the year is fantastic still 3/4 days to go.
Considering we didnt even get 2000 home fans for previous rounds at half the price.
I still think we will get our biggest gate of the season.
4k Stoke and possibly 8k cov fans which will make for tremendous atmosphere.
According to Clive last night the Club forecast is for 14K.
So if any number crunchers wish, it may offer the oportunity to evaluate the logic around pricing, which I'm sure will be based on maximising income over anything else.
For once can they not treat the loyal fans who go home and away to a cheaper ticket? This isn't a game they would have expected to have at the start of the season, it's a bonus.
You would probably need to sell about 20k to make the money over an 8k crowd, but that's not the point.
It should be about getting people back up the Ricoh and supporting the young lads for once. With where we are in the league, crowds are below what they could be and cheap tickets on Saturday could have got some part-timers back into it.
I bet the players are expecting a big crowd Saturday, they'll be incredibly disappointed when there are the same number of Coventry fans as against Chesterfield.
The thing is though, if people are outraged at paying £23 - £25 to play against Stoke and would go if it was cheaper then why would they be going back against Swindon for the same price? If it was about price why wasn't it rammed in the last round for £13?
The ticket pricing thing has been whipped up again, outrage pushed about a standard ticket price.
I do agree, but the club could have given it a shot. So far this season they have done almost nothing to get fans in the stadium.
I do agree though that once again fans are using the ticket price as a way of not going. It's a poor excuse. I bet most of those people will be sat in the pub spending more than that on pints.
Stoke would also have to agree with a price reduction and the Premiership greed probaby kicks in☺The thing is though, if people paying £23 - £25 to play against Stoke and would go if it was cheaper then why would they be going back against Swindon for the same price? If it was about price why wasn't it rammed in the last round for £13?

Or perhaps instead of paying £52 for me and the missus to watch City get smashed { hope that's not true of course but likely } or £30 to watch Cov rugby try and go 16 wins out of 16 ?!I do agree, but the club could have given it a shot. So far this season they have done almost nothing to get fans in the stadium.

You just don't get it do you !
Hughes definitely in charge for game according to SkySports.
That can only be good news and puts pressure on them.

I see 'Outrage/d' has replaced 'frothing' as your new description of anyone who defiles your beloved SISU now !Get what? That you have said you won't give any money to the club and went to a couple of games because you had freebies but you are outraged about the price? The same as when you go on social media and all the outrage from people like PSB Group who push boycotts anyway?

The club had a chance to launch a big marketing exercise with this match, that may have brought a good number of fans back to the Ricoh, fans who may have come to the next home match, bought stuff for the kids etc but of course they went the short term smash and grab route as usual. Never mind there will be a new court date coming up anytime soon to focus on !
Who's outraged?
Stop using hyperbole to exagerate others feelings.
Eithrt he plays best team and ee get to see some stars st rixoh like shawiri allen chupa moting crouch etcBut surely that means he wont want to lose so will play first 11?
I just want Shaqiri to play, and ideally stand next to Peter Crouch at some point. I have to see that in person.

Or he rests for next.prem must win game anf wr win!
Or we best his best side as they all nervous!
Win win win!!!
with both DKE?
One of Englands greatest!I just want Shaqiri to play, and ideally stand next to Peter Crouch at some point. I have to see that in person.
Seeing Crouch flanked by the twins would justify the ticket price alone for me
Yes we do. I understand it is three pound ten.This is also the live game on BBC five live extra.
I'm sure we get something in our coffers for a live game on nationwide radio?
I think if you stand DKE next to Shaquiri, Shaquiri seems as tall as Peter Crouch.I just want Shaqiri to play, and ideally stand next to Peter Crouch at some point. I have to see that in person.
If a game against a premier league team is not selling well then you have to ask yourself why that is.
'Standard ticket prices' don't really work for a disillusioned fan base. Maybe if we were Wolves and top of the Championship then yes, but not CCFC after the last 5 years, and now fighting to get out of L2.
The club should have just done everything in their power to get drifting fans back and hooked in time for a second half of the season promotion push. To argue against that is frankly ridiculous.
It's not arguing against it, it's just pointing out if people won't go to watch CCFC against Stoke for £22 / £24 then they aren't going to watch them play Swindon for the same are they?
No, they're not.
They don't want to watch CCFC at all, they have given up mate.
My point is (aside from the average ticket being too expensive anyway), that fans have abandoned the club in their thousands and it's going to be hard to get a lot of them back. The destruction that has been done to the fan base is possibly not undo-able anymore. Along with Wasps in the frame, the club need to do everything in their power to get bums on seats, especially with a promotion fight coming on. It could shape us next season if we get back into L1.
The club have fucked an open goal of a chance.
