Think you might see more people buying tickets on Saturday. Also, there isn't a matchday increase in price so there is no real incentive to buy in advance
Yep. No point faffing around buying online, printing a ticket etc when you can walk up on the day and get in at the same price.
If there is a big walk up on the day you can guarantee there won't be enough cash turnstiles available so you might yet find yourself faffing around anyway.
True, although with the telegraph stand being open, you'd imagine there will be extra gates open for cash turnstiles.
So 16k City
As i say, poor
If the weather is decent. I would expect a good walk up. Maybe 2 k. Loads probably been put off buying online with the ticket fiasco.What if it's 21,000; that's 17.2K City, or what if it is 22K? What sort of crowd do you think we should be getting for this game? When does it go from poor to OK?

Just don't get it
People moaned about wanting championship football - we have it
people moaned about getting back to the Ricoh - we have
People wanted a team to be proud of and carry on the upward trajectory - we have
People haven't been to a game for 18 months
People haven't seen us in our city for over 2 years
20k is decent. I'd say that's a minimum.
It's on Sky.
It's Sunday afternoon.
Loads on holiday...in the UK.
It isn't exactly cheap £30 quid.!
Yes Sky and shit kick off time
But seriously, what the fuck else do people want?

personally I think it would be nice to know what the crowd actually was before moaning and complaining about it
Jesus wept, how many times does it need explaining?Were gonna get 10K walk up so il be quiet now

The only fuckers moaning are the circa 12k hardcore, the rest of Coventry doesnt give a fuck, unless it's a day out at Wembley or a big cup game of course.
Get it I to your head, ffs, we are not a footballing (or rugby following) city!

The hardcore are the 12k same old faces you see at most home games, some drift away occasionally but we will get 12k for every home game this season, let's see if we get 15k for Preston at home in the cold and rain though.This “hardcore” stuff is weird
we do well, more come, we don’t do well, less come- not dissimilar to every other club
down in league two- under 8k show up.. shot at Wembley, suddenly 40,000 want tickets- who’d have thought it?

What is rediculous is the odd one or two on here who think we will be getting 25k+ every week, ffs, it ain't going to happen. Nowhere fucking near unfortunately.
Most Coventrians ain't interested enough to get off their arses and make the effort, regardless of ticket prices. Attending matches just isn't attractive for many people for whatever reason.

and this mythical 12k- do they just never get old? Do you have to go in a waiting list to join until someone drops out?
I think the pricing isn't too far off, and season ticket prices were excellent value, but the fact that we only sold 10k shows how many fans wont actually go often enough to make the investment in a season ticket viable.Agree with the hardcore bit.
Pricing they gotta get right. £30 is very steep. For championship football. Id say for a premier league game maybe £30.
But on the other hand a season ticket is £375. Doesnt make sense not to buy one.
Your clearly the minority that just doesnt get it,Yep, make utterly batshit predictions like that and expect to be called out on it.
£500 bet right now that we will get more than 12K home fans for every single home league game this season (Covid capacity restrictions excluded).
[/QUOTE
I think officially we will sell 12k home tickets easily including match packages etc. On average.
Wether they all turn up on winters midweek game vs Blackpool very much doubt. Will be about 8 to10k there although official attendance will be 12500.

(Obviously some cant afford the initial outlay, etc etc)

That's fine, I'm happy to continue talking to anyone who wishes to engage in adult conversation.
Get what? I have been arguing all week that people's expectations are to high for this game; I have been agreeing with you on that. But to claim we'll only get 12K every week in this division, and that nobody outside of that 12K gives a shit about the club, doesn't qualify as grown up conversation.
