There was 500 more than the last game I believe if this is correct it relates to around a 50% increase isn't it, if so quite significant, although, I'll never be there!!
There's a NTFC fan on twitter that was given a free ticket........
By his mate who's got a season ticket buy is on holiday....
Judging by the queue outside the ticket office before the game, they were all city fans. Thirty minutes to get tickets.
Yes, I went. Shoot me.

Saying that because people in the queue were City fans or because there was a queue.
What was the atmosphere like? Did you talk to Fisher? Any banners at thr game?
Just surprised, given the amount of people there, that there was such a wait for tickets. But everyone in the queue were city fans and they were all paying so I doubt the increase has anything to do with freebies.
I enjoyed it I have to say. Atmosphere was to be expected given the size of the crowd, but it was lively enough. It's interesting how I recognised so many people, the same faces that have I have seen following City away from home in the last 20 years. Some odd stories too, like people who had hitch-hiked to get there. I did sense it was a much more positive atmosphere than I'm used too. A sense that we're all in this together. Also, there wasn't much anti SISU sentiment at all - any wrath was aimed at the council - certainly during conversations in the pub beforehand.
Will I get a season ticket? No, but I'll go back. It felt like my football club today, despite everything, but more importantly it felt like COVENTRY City. If I genuinely felt that we would never come back I would not go, but I do not believe that, and while that remains the case I will follow them.

You played some brilliant stuff
If we keep playing this style of exciting & entertaining football, you soon won't be able to get a ticket IMHO!

'A sense that we're all in this together'
Really, where were the other 10,000 Cov fans then?? the ones who wont go there, like the ones on the march to keep Cov in Cov.
Youre all in it together to give them 2 fingers, and the legends and the city of Coventry.

The only place I've heard about them giving free tickets to locals is on here
agreed, after reading the other free ticket threads i rang a mate who has lived and worked in Northampton all his life, he's asked all his friends, family and everyone at his place of work and hasn't found 1 local who has either been given/offered free tickets or who knows of anyone that has.
its not conclusive i know but like you say the only place I've heard off it is on here.
he has promised to let me know if he hears anything different though
Yes these same supporters all Pro SISU are the ones that threatened the bands that were playing in the Coventry 130 birthday party the lot that call themselves the True Sky Blues.. on faceBookThen they ask us to join them Scum bags
