isnt the most likely issue here the club haven’t got enough police to monitor the area?
I may be wrong but 13 is the bit above the exit into under the stands so quite separate in any case
That may be the discussion or are only willing to pay for a certain numberisnt the most likely issue here the club haven’t got enough police to monitor the area?

Yes most of them are just robots in orange jackets, although the woman steward that ran on to tackle the pitch invader the other week I wouldn't mess withThat's based off the assumption stewards will act like bouncers if it kicks off , when half of them are more timid than my daughter
It’s not the club
So an update
I’ve asked Colin Henderson who chairs the supporters forum and is a member of sag to follow up the decisions with ccfc
Also the club has confirmed that the reason given for by the stadium safety team was to stop migration from singers corner into the south stand
And yes I have asked who makes up the stadium safety team.
I don’t think it’s many tickets (few hundreds) so the capacity crowd is likely to be slightly lower than the Birmingham game
Think this conversation will run and run
My points went up…..so I’m guessing everyone’s will in time
I don’t mean the club. I mean the stadium safety group. I seriously doubt the club is to blame for any of this. Apart maybe from fucking yo ticketmaster and not doing priority sale. But there’s no way they wouldn’t sell every ticket they’re allowed to.
this is a good pointAlso, the lower part of block 13 is next to that large exit tunnel, so it would be impossible to get into the south stand from there anyway.
Even if we accept their ridiculous argument, there is no reason not to open the lower part of the block
I’ve alluded to what I think is part of the answer. We’d probably need to see what the plan is on the day and how it works before saying told you soPete if you get the chance please ask why they think a fence and 1500 city fans already in blocks 11 & 12 won’t stop migration into the south stand, but a picture of Jimmy Hill will?
I’m not certain how many… but it must be around that number. I’m almost 1200 nowThe full 230 points for your new season ticket?

They’ve been busy but once the game is done a full evaluation should be shared will the club.The club is to blame for the piss poor communication regarding this.
Fans have a right to know the reasons
When it’s an isolated incident don’t the police just let it play out and arrest after?This has got to be a first. Has there ever been a game anywhere in the country where home fans have been segregated from other home fans. Its embarrassing.
A big part of the problem here is lack of communication. If restrictions are being put in place because there is more trouble at the CBS than elsewhere then why aren't we getting statements saying that? Put the reasons out there and be prepared to back them up because saying the CBS requires all these additional measures not seen elsewhere doesn't track with the published stats on arrests at grounds around the country.
Not to mention if we've got blocks of segregation and hundreds of police and stewards isn't there a question mark about how they are doing their job if opposing fans can wander over to each other and have a punch up?
i'd be interested to see if the club/safety team know about the fence between 12 and 13 as the didn't know about the roller stutters in the south stand
Just to add my tuppence to these games...This is a different year. Leeds ran on when Jonathan Gould fucked it up in the last minute, loads of them in fancy dress. It was weird seeing coppers (in fancy dress) being chaser by actual coppers. Most of the Coventry ran on from the West Terrace and then quickly ran off. It was harder to get on from the East Terrace (where I was as it was heavily policed and there was still a reasonably sized fence). The bad last day vs Leeds was a few years later in 1996 when we drew 0-0 and things turned nasty on the pitch with fans fighting and police horses etc
Yup it’s that little section I remember looking at it during the Brum game wondering why they hadn’t opened it. Guess it’s seen as a bit of a choke point easier to block off.I may be wrong but 13 is the bit above the exit into under the stands so quite separate in any case
You must want to smash your head on the wall with answers like that. If they sell block 13, people can't move through a block that's full. Madness.So an update

The more I think about this the more it makes sense .It'll have a Boyle Sports banner over it.
But we don’t actually have that right do we? We don’t own the club or anything.The club is to blame for the piss poor communication regarding this.

It gets better and better. Heads need to roll.
I've brought Club Coventry tickets to be with my 13 year old, who has tickets in there. Now today, I receive this:

Think they knew but were trying to pull the wool over the forum and Doug’s eyes. We all make mistakes. Not good enough though and had I been more knowledgable I would have challenged it immediately as I have done since and with blocks opening up for this game that have been used by away supporters they know they got it wrongi'd be interested to see if the club/safety team know about the fence between 12 and 13 as they didn't know about the roller stutters in the south stand
Blimey!It gets better and better. Heads need to roll.

Oh dearAbsolute shambles.
Really?? could you not make an foi to the police service?Pete, could you ask:
Excluding idiots running on the pitch (which is a different thing) how many Cov fans have been given bans for threatening or violent behaviour within the CBS, Ricoh?? Year by year for the last 10 seasons, where relevant.

I know you do and thanks for doing so - but if CCFC pay people to be supporters liaisons then they could/should also make themselves available on forums like this no?I do every meeting
