Are schools getting those tickets again? Think Coventry travel well so could we see 7k there?

Hope so. 7k crowd often touted as what we've budgeted for this season and Coventry should bring enough for us to match that.

Also the team themselves deserve such a good backing - still within decent reach of the playoffs and we should be taking max points from all our home games.

[Sheffield Blue]

Are they that well travrelled these days? Has it died off a bit (like their home attendance's) since the return to the Richo?

[Westbars Spireite]

Well travelled compared to the average and it's the first time we've played them in a competitive fixture at home since October 1960.

I suspect they'll bring 800-1000.

[valemadness]

Don't think there is a school offer for this match

[Sussex Spireite]

Cant see Coventry bringing all that many, not that well travelled these days, only 349 at there last away game at Barnsley.

Though as Westbars says, first time we have played them at home for over 50 years, so a new ground for them. I'd say somewhere between 500-700.

[spireitesteve]

We did play them in a friendly a couple of years ago if memory serves me .

[JonB]

There will be at least one but he'll be in the home end with me!

Wasn't the Barnsley one was a mid-week game?

They took just under 1000 to Rammell Lane a couple of weeks back, so should be similar numbers if not more given its a Saturday and they've not been before for a league game at the Proact.


It appears some think they shouldn't be playing the likes if Town and Fleetwood. Another set of fans who think they are still 'massive' but are still living off of the old glory days!!


A couple of posts from one of their forums read;

"We're capable of beating all of them, Chesterfield, Fleetwood and Peterborough were all poor at the Ricoh"

"The thing is that most of the teams in this league are average or terrible. Chesterfield at the Ricoh earlier in the season were dreadful and somehow are in the play off chase"

That was midweek and at a ground they've played at every season for the last six or seven.

Chesterfield will be a far more interesting trip than most given our relative proximity and decent boozers.

[Humpalumpa]

They are winning at home to Bradford at the moment. Hopefully it'll stay that way as well, keeping us above Bradford.

A win for Cov tonight should see more travel on Saturday surely, what with Mowbray now in charge and their battle against relegation!

There's no schools offer on this week. They try and do 6 a season. It's hoped that the Walsall game will be the last one this season.

Their confidence must be brittle with recent form and the fact that they keep losing leads. Never really rated Mowbray as a manager always comes across as very dour will be interesting to see if he can take them away from the drop zone. Decent team to play on Saturday I reckon.

I've lifted this post from the League One forum...a little insight into the world of being a Coventry City supporter!

Add that to the fact SISU are messing us fans about, pricey tickets, and the fact that with crowds lower than 15k the Ricoh is ****, then that explains our low crowds...

[Wooden Spoon]

There are some good games this month, and we are capable of getting 10 points from them - and that would keep us within reach of the play offs and keep the exictement and interest going right to the end

[FORZA AZZURRI]

900 sold so far so looks like it could be a 7k gate!
