got to be honest, I think the response is pretty underwhelming.
Team back in Cov, first chance to see live games for over a year and we're not sold out yet, piss poor in my view.
Sad I know but if we stay up they will all be gone and more will be required once restrictions lift
I’m in. No excuse from me to back the lads, even living up North.
Think they will be sold out by the end of the weekend.
Many people lost jobs or furlough, no much free cash floating around. Yet you expect them to all buy tickets. Sympathetic view you hold.got to be honest, I think the response is pretty underwhelming.

Our fanbase has been decimated by everything that's happened over the years, the moves out of coventry, owners who do not give a shit and generally being shite.Two of our long-standing gang of four called it a day when we were relegated to L2. They have found new things in their life, and won't be coming back soon, if ever. These were folks who had held STs for most of their adult lives.
Prepared to be shot down for this, but has the Ricoh Return really piqued as much interest as we thought?
I mean yes we will sell more ST's than at St Andrews for obvious reasons.
I dunno about you lot but the time we returned from sixfields, the whole city was buzzing, people that hadn't been for 15 20 years leapt on the bandwagon and it was a fantastic time.
Feels very flat and kind of 'oh we're back are we?' This time. Is this the effect of not being allowed into stadiums for over a year and covid financial issues? Or have people just had enough of the politics even if we remain a championship club?

£7200 for cooperate in league 1 is mad priceyLoads will be holding out to see what league we are in. That's fair enough.

I’m waiting. I don’t know where I’m going to be living and don’t know whether I’d make as much effort to get back to Cov every other weekend for yet more League One football.Loads will be holding out to see what league we are in. That's fair enough.
I am sure this us true but maybe more will be waiting to see what restrictions there will be in place by then.Loads will be holding out to see what league we are in. That's fair enough.
Well. gowing up around the cov area supporting them during seasons when in a dog fight to stay up in the premiership and old 1st division if you were a S.T holder you payed up and were there again .Im not sure if this poor run has got anything to do with it,also we will never no.I'm sure if the team had won the games following the announcement of the Ricoh return the good feeling would of meant more sales. As it is we have been dog toffee since and everyone is on a downer.
think it's a bit of everything you've mentioned as well as the general apathy that seems to be a trait of our city.
I'll be really disappointed if we go down but being back in Cov will definitely take the edge of it. Can't wait for us to return.
Bang on.People that ring up the radio often quote the 40ks at Wembley. I think we roughly managed 9-10k a week in League 2 so for me our hardcore is 9-10k who will follow us whatever league we’re in. If we can get our hardcore all signed up to STs then I think that’s good going.
I do understand though that unemployment is extremely high atm, not including those on furlough, so money is tighter... and there’s an element not wanting to commit money until there’s guarantees we can attend games.
7k sold at the start of April for a ST we might not get to use much next season is promising in my opinion.
What I haven't read yet (probably laziness on my part) is what the intention is re: away fans. If they have restricted home sales to 8k, are they not allowing away fans, or is it a restricted number for that too? If no away fans, you would have thought that the home advantage would be enhanced next season (unless the home team is playing cr*p!!)
From the club article posted this evening:Theres been people for years on about filling the Ricoh every week, in reality we didn't even fill Highfield Road very often and we were in the Premiership!
From the club article posted this evening:
The current sales figure means the Sky Blues already have their highest number of Season Tickets since 10 years ago, when they had 8,235 in the 2011-12 campaign. Following the move to the Ricoh Arena, from 2005 to 2011 Season Ticket sales were regularly between 9,500 and 10,000 and the Sky Blues will be hoping for similar numbers once social distancing allows capacity to reach those levels.
This goes to show that even when we averaged 20k attendances in the early days at the Ricoh, we still only had a core ST base of circa 10k. To regularly fill the Ricoh we would need maybe 18-20k ST holders?... which is a tough ask
Who would get a vaccine passport to enable unrestricted access to go and watch their team .Just open the whole bloody ground either way please , it's not a day at the races .
Two of our long-standing gang of four called it a day when we were relegated to L2. They have found new things in their life, and won't be coming back soon, if ever. These were folks who had held STs for most of their adult lives.
Did they just pick and choose their games or stop altogether?
Fairly sure if they could they would.Just open the whole bloody ground either way please , it's not a day at the races .
