Boro fan here, we used to give up half of the South stand behind the goal to away fans but was thought to give the away team an advantage kicking into the goal with away fans in it so they were moved to where it is now. There are issues with stadium design though on the concourses for segregation and we seem to have rows of seats either side of the away fans empty so we've lost maybe a 1,000 off capacity. It's stupid and overkill you see Arsenal v Spurs and all there is between the fans is a line of stewards...
You would think they'd split that stand in half with a bit of segregation down the middle. There's never been any chew between Cov/Boro fans that I know of down the years...There’s no point in limiting Boro to 2k if we aren’t planning on putting our own fans behind the goal.
Might as well give them 4k
Yea I've just heard off somebody the sameMy mate has just said he couldn't renew his ST or get his ticket for sunday bloody right mess looks like ST holders will miss out through no fault of there own.
Not really proper fans are they?
Biggest game in 20 years think I’ll go to the pub wow
Not really because blocks 6/7/8 aren't directly behind the goal.
Ideally Coventry fans will be in block 9-13.
I mean there has been at least 2 weeks to plan for this eventuality. Just seems the club has been running around all day in panic mode with a clunky sales approach causing all sorts of problems.
The away end situation is annoying especially following the game up there which showed a simple solution, put the away fans in the corner and get 1000’s more home fans in.
And wait for the Mackems shouting on about how both teams have shite fans and can't sell their tickets...Wait till you see the segregation on Sunday compared to Boro yesterday!
Car Park A & B already sold out.

I'll try later with my son. Reserved until tomorrow so no real rush. Hopefully once the initial rush is over it'll be a shorter wait
That photo is not recent. Kilcoyne would have been up there early doors. Can't believe he's in the queue at this time of day.
Still queuing
As they are allowing two tickets for every season ticket holder it’s going to be a mad scramble tomorrow - doubt there will be more than 6,000 left
Looking at the map there doesn't seem many left.About 13.5K sold apparently, so home end about half full right now. Few will go tonight I'm sure. Not sure why they are limiting it to 1 ticket per person on general sale, a strange move that.
Looking at the map there doesn't seem many left.
Can't be that many seats held back for ST holders can there?
wtf

If it does look like that Sunday it will be shocking, both legs should have the stadiums packed to the rafters. To 'sell out' and leave blocks empty is criminal...This is what 2000 fans looks like in the away end given to Boro.
Make that netting smaller and we should surely be allowed some of block 9?
Boro fans will be fuming when they see the empty seats in their end on Sunday.

Question for tomorrow I am a season ticket holder as I see it I've got from 9 30am till 11o clock to get mine.When i get there I presume non season ticket holder will have started to queue how will the queues be seperated.

And I suspect it will start queueing relatively early (and some I assume will then have to re-enter the queue as they get there too early).They won't be, you'll be in the queue with the rabble
