Just up the road from me so has to be done (assuming can get a couple of tickets for me and the boy) any of you seasoned campaigners know when the tickets should go on sale? Game on Sky but would still expect a big demand as team flying and not a ground I can remember us visiting for a while! Have membership and looking at the ground I think they could accommadate as many as we could sell. 067.gif
Has been nominated Jimmy hill day by Coventry city FC
We have much to thank and remember him for
Remember Mansfield away when we secured promotion out of the bottom division with Micky Adams, he got a bollocking over the tanoy for smoking in the executive box, great day for Jim he milked it with us for all it was worth, great man in dark times for sure.
I would imagine we will have a larger than average following to Coventry, haven't played them in many years and a new ground that isn't too far away. Should be a good day out.
A Coventry fan I spoke to recently said that it's possible for them to give up to 7500.Loads of my lot going so should be a good turnout.Trains take an hour and got ours for 20 quid.Hope the earlier kick off want put too many off
Whatever happened to Highfield Road.?
Well deserved tribute to Jimmy Hill fantastic service to both clubs.
Tickets are still not on sale for this yet. Anyone know why?
I keep checking too, annoying when being an early kick off also would need to book the morning off!

We were all packed into that wooden stand and had to go behind it for a smoke
Big traffic jam getting away from the ground, I remember one guy walking up and
down the cars, giving us all a swig of champagne.
Magical night even though the match wasn't too good but nerve racking

It was demolished in 2006. Last game there was 30 April 2005 against Derby, Coventry won 6-2.
It was the first all seater stadium in England until Leeds United fans tore down the seats after losing 4-0 in 1981, typical Leeds fans.
Was told match day parking at Richoh is £15!!
Not confirmed but another Fulham friend told me there were train issues to Peterborough on that date.
Rang ticket office they said went on sale today, went online and it says full! Why are we so garbage at ticketing!

initial allocation 2000 sold already? sounds like we will be offered more though.
Says I can purchase 12 then at the end says can only purchase 2
Bought mine this evening on line. No problem
Seems to be working now but not the best ticket buying site, how do you know which side is the pitch/front?

It's nowhere near sold out, that was just the woeful ticketing page doing it's usual. They can give up to & over 5000 if need be. We've got an initial 2k more if needed
Ticket site must be looked at, it is a lottery to find the tickets available section even when logged in and a lottery to work out where the seats are! Only by finding the disabled section could I work out which way around the seats are facing! Would like to think we would take at least 2k to Coventry on Jimmy Hill day.

It's an embarrassment, surely there must be a better & more user friendly system out there?
Also doesn't help when we put away tickets on sale as late as we do, surely can't be down to the home clubs? Probably us dithering as to what allocation to ask for
12.30 kick off doesn't help.

Are the seats at the bottom of the page near the front?

Not necessarily, I think.
I must admit to finding this a problem in the past.
One tip - the seats reserved for those who want to sit all game, which you usually have to order by phone, are obviously towards the front.
Also, i think most already sold seats are at the back, with the number of already taken seats fewer and fewer, as you get nearer the front.
Also, if you select two seats and put them in your basket, before finally paying obviously, at 'front' and 'back', you can tell by block and row number which are nearer the front, then delete one from your basket- they usually go from A at the front , nearest the pitch, towards further down the alphabet, as you go back.
