BS4 on Tour... Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hello, Got me tickets for Cov away and can't wait for a great day out. Just a quick point though, when they finally got their wish to return to the Ricoh over 27,000 fans turned up for the first game back vs the Gills. But now they struggle to get 8,000 just a few weeks later. That is some fall. I know we are quite capable of fluctuating between 10,000 and 18,000 but to 'lose' 20,000 fans now the novelty has worn off is poor in my opinion. Still, quite happy if we have a large proportion of the attendance when we go up there in a couple of weeks. Anyway, onwards and upwards, and to all sags, keep looking up....

Posset red Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Think we will easy take 2000+ got my ticket think they sold over 1000 already with just under two weeks left should be a good one ! Games at the Ricoh I always remember being entertaining so hopefully should be another goal fest maybe in our favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Bcfc Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I said when they moved I wonder how long it will be until they start getting less than 10k again. Took less than 2 games,very poor support from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Apparently Wasps looking to buy the Rioch now. Sounds like stadium misery might go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Apparently Wasps looking to buy the Rioch now. Sounds like stadium misery might go on. And we think MK Dons are a franchise team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 8,000? I know their attendances dropped but I thought they'd sustain around 10-13,000 fans.. 8,000 is shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I said back at the start of their Sixfields saga that their fans were a joke and this just goes to prove it. All that fuss about getting back to the Ricoh and most of the people shouting about it can't be bothered to go there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckle_red Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Coventry are a big club with a great history. We've had some important and big games with Cov down the years especially in 1977. There may be a reason for it that we don't know about, such as a boycott against owners? Who knows, but I'm sure we'll take 1800-2200 in a fortnights time.

Whooooossshhhh Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Just tried to buy 2 tickets online and it says none available!! Anyone know when more will be released? Living in exile I don't get to too many games but this is one I was looking forward to! Planning to take the Mrs for her first ever game! Good luck with the Mrs and her first match, mate. Perhaps, as a bit of a celebration, she might let you take her somewhere different if we win. Up the a*se maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average side in the football tiers IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 To be fair to Cov think they're happy to be home but still v unhappy at Sisu still running things. That probably has big effect on attendances after the big homecoming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 They've had the heart and soul ripped out of their football club. No surprise crowds are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckle_red Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 They're not big really. Average side in the football tiers IMO. I'd suggest they are at least the size of BCFC which is a large League One club, average sized Championship club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everreddy Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Leave the M6 and take the road with the Novotel on your left. Keep going for around half mile and this takes you very near the ground. Street parking all along this road as long as you get there around 2-2.15 Its worked for me for many years; hope this helps Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Still Nothing online! Just rang them. They are waiting for the next batch to come in, which should have been this morning. Unlikely they will arrive today now, so they should be available tomorrow (?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isared Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'd suggest they are at least the size of BCFC which is a large League One club, average sized Championship club. 34 consective seasons in the top flight and fa cup winners.

slartibartfast Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 34 consective seasons in the top flight and fa cup winners. True, but it don't make them bigger, per se, just more successful . The OLD Dons were more successful, but no way bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 We have had easy with Coventry last couple of seasons hope it remains so. 12 people from Scandinavia are going to see the game. On tuesday we will be at the gate vs Bradford. Unusual go over and we are in the top. Hope it remains so. Coyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
