    How many have we been given? Hope there isn't more city fans than Coventry. Last I checked Coventry only sold 350 season tickets

    921 away tickets according to the Coventry site and the figure for Coventry is anywhere between 37 and 350 depending on who tells you, apparently Coventry do not expect many Pay on the Day either seems like if they get 400 they will be doing well.

    Best answer I got to the question about how many season tickets have coventry sold was they had 350 applications waiting to be processed before they announced they would be going to Northampton but CCFC have not said how many cancelled said applications once they announced the home games were going to be played in Northampton.

    Well if we believe the figures, we are going to sell out, and they will have less fans than us,will be beneficial to us.

    Three points would be nice then a big game against Wolves.

    I have to say their fans should be getting behind their team at Northampton not deserting them.

    If fans have no control over where the team plays it is not their team.

    Bristol City have sold less than 200 tickets for the Coventry game thus far, according to Adam Baker on the Gillingham match commentary.

    And I suppose you thought the Wimbledon fans should have all followed their teams owners to Milton Keynes?

    Moving away is losing identity. Moving well away from the community that created the club is reinventing the club.

    With the way SISU worded their statement of intent they only said it was their plan to return to somewhere in the Coventry environs in about 5 years, now legally that means anywhere within an hour or so's commute say 100 miles if you are talking trains which covers an area from Crosby Mersyside - Grimsby - Weston Super Mare and Croydon South London, They have not yet identified the site they want to build on or if they have they have not said where it is, perhps because it isn't within Metropolitan Coventry? and they certainly have not applied for planning permission to build anywhere as of yet and we know how long that can take.
    With the lack of straight talking from SISU and the way they have ignored the contracts they have signed I doubt if many people in Coventry trust them to run a public toilet let alone a football club.

    The owners of Wimbledon at that time did not want to change the identity of the club they wanted to keep the name Wimbledon and the badge as well it was legal objections that made them change the name. Plus at first the owners said they were looking at finding a better temporary home than Selhurst Park there was nothing said about moving the club lock stock and barrel to Milton Keynes, until they had found a local council who would aid them financially that is when they said they were moving. For all the fans know that is exactly what Sisu intend to do find another local council desperate for a football club who are willing to give them more money.

    usually happens you sell more tickets following a win the state Coventry are in at the moment we should be able to score against them we will have to work at keeping them out, but the 3 points are there to be claimed.

    A Coventry fan I work with says that Coventry fans are grateful that a lot of us are boycotting the game.

    Of those season tickets that they claim have been sold - some were free ones given to players families.
