Coventry - 03/10/09 - 12.30pm

[spionfox]

I'm going to this one - first time at the Ricoh. I know the opening message mentioned car parking near the ground but what is the readl deal? Is there plenty or will I struggle to get one near the ground if I get there a little late?

 

[Hazzman]

You'll struggle if late. Ain't going myself now - main reason being it's just a rather shit away day.

Last time i was there all the Cov scum came charging over from a pathway alongside the exits and started chanting and causing trouble.

No police to be seen in any direction. It makes you thankful your from Leicester because Cov really is a shite hole.

I believe last time the police made every get off in nuneaton and bussed them to the ground.

The police didn't make everybody get off in Nuneaton. They had to change there anyway.

There was engineering work on the line between Nuneaton and Coventry with a replacement bus service. Rather than National Rail bussing everybody to Coventry station and them having to make their own way back to the ground, the police helpfully arranged for buses carrying supporters to go directly to the ground (even if people really wanted to go into the city centre first)

We have received an initial allocation 3,000 tickets for this fixture. I believe a further 1,500 tickets can be made available if required.

Has anybody already said that the initial 3,000 tickets have all gone and we are now selling from the additional 2,000 that have been received? That's what the Coventry Evening Telegraph is telling its readers (except that they've got the numbers of the two allocations the wrong way around).

After last night's result, I would think that we'll sell most of them.

The OS for the last 3 or 4 days has been showing our allocation has 5,000, so I think we've been selling the 2nd allocation for atleast all of this week.

See you all in the Wetherspoons in the centre.

 

[fludie]

For your information the Weatherspoons is called The Flying Standard and it is on Trinity Street near Sainsburys.

Is this is the centre ?

I know parking is supposed to be very dodgy round there, anyone know any good places to park?

4,800+ was our final showing today. Probably our highest away attendance for a while this season.
