Bristol Boy Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Looks like it's policy for visiting teams to be give lower initial allocations in most places on the basis that there are always more to come if they sell and we've now had our full allocation at Coventry.I wonder if Burnley will sell more than 500, I think they did last time we played them but, from meory they may have been top of the League then?See you there!

So that we can save on printing and postage costs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatWill Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Burnley are not a particularly well supported club and I doubt they'll bring more than 1,000.Dissappointed we've only got 2,500 tickets for Cov as I'm sure we could've sold 4,000. We took 2,300 up there on a Tuesday night for the Cup replay.I'd expect us to sell all 1,881 tickets for Preston away as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we would take more if we could.I've been on a Coventry site to find out and they have changed the layout at the Ricoh so that away fans are stuck in the corner. They have sold season tickets in the area behind the goal where away fans used to be and so there is no chance of getting more than 2,586. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redminster Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 When I got mine today I asked whether you could specify where in the stand you could sit and was told that it was unreserved, despite there being specified seats on my tickets.I would expect us to shift the 2,586 easily and think they are underestimating our away support based on our home attendances. This is the first away game that many could make or would choose to make as Blackpool was during holiday time and Sheff Wed was on Sky. Also being within 2 hours drive from Bristol makes a big psychological difference as most of us will be back by 8pm.Looking at the back of the ticket seems to suggest away fans have more of that stand than we had last year for the 2,500 ish. If Cov fans are saying that ST holder locations prevent us having more than 2,586 then surely that applies to their games vs clubs like Leicester, West Brom, Wolves etc which would take more than we would? That seems short-sighted in my opinion considering their last home gate was 17,551 in a ground that holds 32,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Burnley are not a particularly well supported club and I doubt they'll bring more than 1,000.Sad stato fact - Burnley are the best supported club in great Britain.If based on average attendance per head of population.
