BobBobSuperBob Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 A Gas ITKr reveals the complications regarding the original plans for a larger tent ‘ Originally the stand was meant to go along the full length of the flat area but the safety officer wasn't happy because although people serving in the pastie huts could get in to the huts there was little space left between the stand and hut for people to served safely. So stand had to be re-positioned over the open terrace. There was also meant to be a stand for away fans but they couldn't fit it into the area allocated ,so didn't bother with it in the end. Had to put a family stand in though because the S.T had already been sold. Basically a major cockup.’ Meanwhile .... ‘ For a cup match against a big team, the stand can be dismantled and the capacity increased to what it was, the same could apply for a big league game if season ticket holders are willing to move to the South or Southwest stands to accommodate it. All other times the lost standing capacity won't be needed as its hardly as if we sell out the mem every week, there's not really any problem to be honest.’ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 in the FA Cup final. Spurs are the joint 3rd in the list of FA Cup winners - AND the Gas have improved their ground in the summer more than any other club including Spurs. Therefore they should definitely be playing in the Champions League. And they’ve got the best fans. Obviuos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 2 hours ago, BS4 on Tour... said: That ‘stand’ is utterly hilarious, and unlike the other small tent up there, it’s in full view of the TV Cameras so everyone can point, laugh and see what their owners think of them. That structure is their ‘identity’ in a nutshell. Still, 6th richest club in the country apparently ....that’s what their supporters were saying anyway. I bet they wished they’d kept their mouths shut now They never learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing at 8,500 less 500 Coventry minus 1,000 who paid but didn't go, so around 7,000 loyal and true blue few . Could even be less. Evil Post says 8385 less 1137 coventry = 7248 home. A fair few may have stayed home in the dry today, so real attendance somewhere between 6k and 6.5k They often compare their attendances over the last couple of years with our attendances from the early 80s. The fact crowds were down all over the country at the time (including Eastville where they only averaged 5300 in the division ABOVE us) is never taken into consideration. 7248 home fans for a League 1 match is awful, especially for a club who’s fans constantly peddle the myth that they are super loyal and support their team in huge numbers no matter what happens. If they’d been in our shoes in 1982 after 3 successive relegations, losing matches, staring financial ruin in the face with crowd numbers down across the country I doubt their attendances would’ve got much over 2000.

Although musing upon my own post if they get it rocking enough then they could enter the record books as being the first time that there has been a pitch invasion by an entire stand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolmoose Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Please don't let them go into admin. What would happen to this thread? This is comedy golddust! If this was pitched as a sitcom, it would be rejected for being too far fetched! Ok, so we've lost a couple of games and I'm recuperating after a gruelling few days in hospital but catching up on this is the perfect medicine. #GTKOG 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
