Is the club actively trying to encourage fans to get to their seats before the KO? The congestion in the concourses is made worse by lots of fans just standing around. Now, I know some are entering or queueing or drinking or using the facilities. The rest have every right to stand where they wish but it would make things easier if they could be nudged to take their seats.

What is adding to the congestion is all the Street bars, food and beer ect, just outside the East Stand.

Leaving it to the last minute before going in to get their seats.

The whole thing is a nightmare if you are trying to get a wheelchair through to the middle blocks in that stand.

The number of people, with season tickets, who walk through the turnstile then stop like they have no clue where they're going drives me insane.

There's one obvious solution to the congestion in the concourses, let people drink in the stands but that's not happening anytime soon. Would also mean even more people who can't go 45 minutes without getting up and moving around.

They close at least 30 minutes before kick off now

that is down to the badly designed concourse, there's areas where there is a concessions stand opposite a toilet block and the queues from both can then form a wall across the concourse.

Interesting answer regarding the lease
If we don’t have a long lease by the end of this season the club will be fined. Not a huge fine
Doug is convinced that everyone is on the same page in terms of the club playing at the cbs long term and frasers are expecting this too

So it’s still one of the flies in the ointment

Was very impressed by his humility and no kind of claiming his decision was vindicated.

If the outside mobile catering stands were undercover and like the pop concerts you went through the turnstiles at the side of the stand without actually entering it would make sense

Another interesting one was question about monzo continuing sponsorship. Sounds like both parties would be excited by it continuing. Chairman didn’t answer of course

However those that have the monzo app will know that you can download sky blues colours. 50000 people have done so!!!!!

Alongside one of the Coventry City x posts getting over 2m views the club is huge at the moment

Crazy really in this day and age how people can’t be trusted to have a beer in the crowd. In the US the blokes are walking around with “tall boys” the big cans, and everyone’s just having a great time in their seat having beers watching the game. Also buying food and hot dogs and stuff

Time to get a grip i think

Definitely time to get a grip if you want us to be more like the US!

CBS
Proper notes will come out soon
I wish they were quicker but quite a lot was said
Not much questioning other than on lease and road closures and traffic plan
It’s mainly selfishness that we all think our time is the most importantly whether we want to walk across a road or drive down the road or park the closest or get away first. It’s almost an illness our selfishness and it has consequences

It costs the club a 6 figure number to close the roads and they know it causes frustration for many supporters. You can’t just have a free for all though

Oh I did ask how many season tickets had been taken off pekple not using them or exchanging them from the family zone. It’s zero

Would be fantastic news if we could get this over the line and signed up to something long-term.

It’s the one fly isn’t it?
He wasn’t as grumpy as he has been previously at the questions about it
I think he’s feeling more comfortable in his shoes
However just cause it’s a no brainer doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen at a cost that is beneficial
We all know this though
Maybe Mike will get bored
