You've got to factor in Wasps have a big European tie vs Toulon at home the next day.

Coventry V Gillingham Top of the Table clash Match thread


I hope I'm wrong, I'd love us to have 15-16k+, but We've been in the top 6 all season 1-2 points off top and the gates haven't increased. Like I've said you've also got a big wasps game on Sunday, and it's the lead up for Christmas so people will be wanting to save their pennies.

I think the 19th December game will be a big gate, I'm bringing an extra 7 on top of my 4 ST's.

We have had our uplift from the 7/8 k crowds we were getting. I think 15 k would be decent, I'll be there certainly

They haven't increased? How do you work that out? They're much higher than last year aren't they, when our average league position was lower?

The game was in between two night shifts for me so had to listen to the game on sky blue player. They announced every point scored, the possibility of an extra point and then celebrated the extra point for the 4th try.

So your point is our form and position in the league has stayed relatively consistent and our attendances have stayed relatively consistent. Higher than last year. lol

I don't get your point, what has last season got to do with anything?

Really you don't?

I thought you were implying that our attendances aren't increasing with better results/performances? Last year has to do with everything - as our performances/results last year were notably worse than this year. Which shows in attendance.

Not buying that you dont get my point...

Right in that case fair enough. Don't see why they would to be honest until nearer the end when people who aren't really following see that it's not just a temporary run of form, and they see a chance of some playoff/promotion excitement

Way too much pessimism again.
Top two to decide possible out right leaders?
JPT brings in 30k and you all suggest 13K+ would be the best we might do?
I think we are looking at 17k+ for this one.

JPT was £5 per person, and people thought they were getting ticket stubs priority Wembley tickets.

Fair enough. You're talking apples I'm talking oranges.

Last year was also poor due to the season away at Sixfields. Depressingly our current average attendance is only 900 more than the 2012/13 season, despite being in the top 6, averaging 2.1 points per game over the last 10, playing some of the most exciting football since the Robbie Keane days and having cheaper ST's, matchday tickets and matchday packages.

I've come to have low expectations of fans so it isn't really any surprise that attendances aren't really moving despite us being near the top of the table. I suspect we won't really see a notable increase unless we are still challenging the top 2 with say 10 games left.

Would be interesting to see ticket revenue from last season (first game back excluded) to this season with the consideration that tickets are significantly cheaper this season.

I think Gillingham will bring around 900 to this. They managed 700 to Walsall and Peterborough and 1200 to Colchester (albeit a far closer game).
A match at a ground like the Ricoh against a 'big' club and in a huge game, their following could be surprisingly high.

If I was the club I would do 2 things on Monday:

1. Open the 2 blocks in North stand behind the goal from rows A to Z only. Makes a statement that the club is open for business and expects and is prepared for a 15k gate. Get a second member of staff to the shop to help with the ticket sales.

2. Learn from last year - instead of £10 do a BOGOF deal with the Doncaster game the next Saturday. (Bradford away mid-week so another big week coming up!)

Didn't they have 700 in the first game back and that was on a week night and on TV. Although I suspect there was a few Cov fans in there and a few just interested in the spectacle
