Whether its a Pie, a Pint or a Piss (1 Viewer)

To all the lads and lasses going tonight lets remember tonight is meant to be a celebration of the team coming home not everything is going to run smoothly, queues will be long, staff will be stressed, stewards will be confused but its the 90 minutes on the pitch that matters.

Regardless of anything else I am approaching it glass half full with a smile on my face approach! #PUSB

It will be full of absolute tools trying to force their way out of the entrance to the toilets. Elbows out ready!

Glass only half full so you don't have to brave the gents. You wily fox!

My glass will be very full often throughout the evening ha ha

I think the logistics of getting this done by CCFC and The Ricoh Arena in such a short time was always going to create problems. There are lead times to getting stuff printed, stock suppliers, staff, state of pitch etc and it has all been very (too?) short timelines for such a large event. There will be problems.

This time around I think people should just roll with it and enjoy the single most important thing ....... CCFC at home in Coventry

Next home game should be better organised by all concerned without the excuses.

But if i don't get my lukewarm bottle of Carling at half time someone has to be held responsible ... Tim Fisher?!

The key to all this for people is don't leave everything till the last minute, if you have tickets to collect get down there pronto. Don't rely on the same journey and parking time for a 12000 gate either, everything will be fairly gridlocked in the vicinity. Try and leave the boozer a tad earlier too because queues at the turnstiles will also be stupid.

One of the reasons I left Block 20 was because of the third world toilet stampede at half time where conditions clearly infringed H & S and hygiene standards

Go easy on all the staff, the team as well celebrate the occasion. I have tickets but daughter is having auditions for a play early evening so can't get there early and I am risking the traffic / parking chaos and potentially the team running out on their return.

 

[mattylad]

I reckon you got to leave 15 minutes to get through the turnstiles minimum

The club took the decision to move sooner, and it was always going to be tough. I think they've done a decent job all things considered. Remember back when we played Chelsea at the Ricoh a few years back, the chaos then? Mix in the Season Ticket issues and it's even harder. Sell outs don't come around very often and administistratively we're just not built for it... even if the stadium is! When I went to collect my tickets this morning I really felt for the guys behind the desks, having to deal with impatient people all day under huge stress. They were there late last night handling and printing all the online orders for collection today too.

Everyone just enjoy the return to Coventry, whether you're at the game or watching it on TV or listening on the radio. WE'RE BACK!

They really had to make today the first game back, if we were officially 'back' but then still playing at Sixfields tonight because it's short notice there'd be far more uproar than the slight bodge job of getting back home at the first opportunity.

Just to re-interate the above posts. Tonight is about 2 things, celebrating the fact we are back home in the community where the club belongs and getting 3 points.

The staff have done great in the circumstances - I just cannot understand why the old systems that they had at the Ricoh could not have been employed, this finding some more every day, I could have knocked up a spread sheet, with a seating plan taken out the ST's and straight away know how many we have to sell, this 15000, then another 1000 here , oh just fond another 1000 - be more on line tomorrow- not the staff fault so they should not be getting a hard time, but serious questions around the people running the show. Might be a way of forcing some of the undecided like myself to commit and buy an ST
But for today lets enjoy the return PUSB
