They've tweeted a reply to someone saying they are working on opening block 10.
Why is that for Man Utd v Liverpool, Arsenal v Tottenham, Liverpool v Everton etc there is ZERO segregation, yet for Coventry v Gillingham we need two whole fucking blocks of segregation for safety reasons? Utter shambles.
Those Gillingham folk are a rough bunch ya know
We much be the only club who feels the need for a 1 mile segregation
guess itll only only be for one game where it'll be noticeable
They also tweeted someone who had tickets in block 10 that he would be in block 11
Honestly why do we even need segregation?
It's not segregation in the stands that's the problem is it? Doesn't' the Ricoh only have one shutter to segregate the concourse so if you sell more block to our fans you would have both sets of fans mixed together on the concourse.
To be honest I can't see that being a problem but I can also see that the police and safety advisors wouldn't go for it as they'd be on the hook if it did all kick off.
Wrongly or rightly it seems possible that priority has been given over to getting the 4000 x 2012-13 ST holders renewed. This obviously generates a lot more cash in a short time than dealing out 8 tickets a pop at perhaps £44. For the sake of one week they should have forgot about ST's and just sold match tickets for this game and sorted all the other issues out later with the discounts applicable with 3 'home' matches gone.
Another { Conspiracy } theory would suggest a rammed full Ricoh would make SISU look even bigger pricks live on SKY for taking the club away.
I still think that come what may, we should be looking at a 26k crowd, it would have been more though with better organisation and without the interfering idiots from the SAG !
Many people will be pissed off if at least block 10 isn't opened up, but I'm guessing it will be on Friday.
How hard can it be to put a temporary barrier up though? Maybe staffed by a few stewards.

It is quite clearly because SISU just don't want to sell them out of spite isn't it?
It shocks me with sisu being penny pinchers I thought they would open the whole ground now they are back. WHY NOT?
Each block has around 1000 seats so to sisu its worth 10k a block roughly. if Gills fans in block 8 they wont take more than that block of 1000 so 1 block segregation sure so keep 10 open as its been sold to season ticket holders anyway leaving block 9 clear. This is madness and just costing the club money and fans a chance to see us again.
I don't even believe block 9 should be shut off. WTF. Its a stadium ffs FILL IT. How much trouble are they expecting from 500 gills fans. Its a joke.
At premiership grounds where stakes are a lot higher etc such as Tottenham all it is a is a line of stewards so what are they playing at. Police are over cautious man. They just want less work to do.

Has anybody asked the police or anybody else?

Not even a mention here on how many tickets they have been offered ?
NOPM lol
Its still says ricoh arena on www.ccfc.co.uk so all the gills will turn up there as its closer.
Are the Gillingham Ultras a right nasty bunch?
anyone know how many they are bringing?
Are the Gillingham Ultras a right nasty bunch?
why would they not turn up at the ricoh arena??
Bit of a design cock up in Ricoh Arena is failure to provide flexible small/medium/large segregated area for away fans. .
Careful. That could be seen as criticism. You'll be on the hit list.
