Hello there,
Just a brief bit of info for Coventry supporters planning to come to Bootham Crescent for tomorrow night's JPT match.
First of all, you CAN pay on the gate tomorrow night. We have sent just over 800 tickets to Coventry City to sell in advance but if you don't have a ticket don't worry, you can pay on the turnstiles (£12 adults, £6 Under 16s and Over 65s, FREE for kids Under 5). The away end holds 1,600 (1,300 standing, 300 seats) and is a terrace behind the goal with seats on the side.
There will also be a match programme on sale ("The Citizen") priced at £3 for a 52-page edition, including quite a bit of stuff about the Sky Blues.
There is a bar at the ground ("Pitchside Bar") which usually lets away supporters in. There is a pub round the corner from the away end ("The Burton Stone") which is away-fan friendly and, if you want to wander down Bootham towards the City Centre, there are the Bootham Tavern, White Horse and Exhibition pubs. Plus lots of pubs in the centre itself well worth a visit.
There is a chip shop round the corner from the ground.
Parking is generally on street in the streets around the ground, it's usually no problem to find somewhere.
If you didn't come here in 1959 (!) you will find York to be a friendly, hospitable place and we look forward to welcoming you to Bootham Crescent for what is probably a much bigger game for us than it is for you, but hopefully entertaining nonetheless.
I will post a link to our match preview and programme info later.
Have a good trip.
Phil
