Coventry, ticket sales?

[Athers]

How many we sold? Anybody know?

 

[Halifax71]

Someone said it was about 600 which sounds disappointingly low to me as it's in the do'able post work distance.

 

[NewburyOne]

I'm still wavering but still recovering from flu, hopefully I feel better by Tuesday and there are on the night options for a ticket.

 

[Come on the Pool!]

Thought I heard about 700

You can go on the ticket site and have a look. It gives you the ticket number so you can see as it goes up.

Currently at 693 so 692 sold, presumably.

Poor really. We’ve had a great start to 2022 in the league should be taking at least 1k imo

 

[NewburyOne]

Hopefully there will be POTG options and a few more head over to Cov, the lads absolutely deserve our backing. Hopefully both Marv and Stewart will be available.

I agree, but most people appear to be traveling from the GC by car as there seems to be a lack of alternative modes of transport e.g. coaches.

 

[HaighyBfc]

Around 700 and believe there will be pay on the gate

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

It’s basically 50mph most the way and hitting Staffs/Bham district at peak times so needs an early finish to be doable

 

[South stand menace]

Fantastic support

4 should still be fine. We're only doing 3 so we can get some food.

 

[Love BFC🍊]

I’m leaving Blackpool 2/2.30ish. Give ourselves plenty of time without having to stress

 

[Cleveleys boy]

Are there no coaches running at all?

 

[bfcpete]

Would have gone but still self isolating from the Covid I picked up at Fulham. Sky red button for me

Isolation is only 5 days now. Get yaself down to cov

 

[Love BFC🍊]

Ticket sales now up to 723 my godson is also going to get one e now and coming with us so 724

 

[TangerineBayern]

Not from the club which is very disappointing given the amazing away support we have.

I think we will have around the 900 mark. I was expecting it to be 1k+ to be honest.

No coaches is strange. Probably has effected the numbers

Most definitely affected the numbers!

 

[South stand menace]

The reason there are no coaches is cos it’s not financially viable, ie they won’t fill it, there were three massive piles of cov tickets left when I picked mine up this morning (definitely more than 300) Anything over 400 is a good following

Only tested positive Thursday and need 2 clear tests before can come out of isolation

The club should always do a coach - you make a profit on some, a loss on others.

I'd be amazed that there wasn't enough for one coach.

 

[tigger]

I would like to go but like many others I work and can’t guarantee to be finished in time so no point getting a ticket. I’m less than 50% sure of being able to go.
POTG would give more people the option of going
It’ll be the red button and a couple of beers for me

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Tigger, do you not go to away games anymore?

You missed a great craic at Fulhan!

 

[Scaramanga]

You can POTG, turnstiles 1-5 only.

Us 3 would have gone on a BFC coach but having to drive as no coach laid on

 

[paul dewhurst]

this is like a home game for me i live in warks can't wait went to fulham last week amazing day out

 

[tangerine.com]

Work commitments in week.

Anything under 700 is not good for us.

From what l know they didn’t even consider putting a coach on for this game, although they do for most Saturday games. If they would have really advertised it they would have filled it no problem, I’ve spoke to quite a few who would have preferred the coach rather than drive there. Lost opportunity here to get more fans there.

 

[Northstandsinger]

Anything less than 1k is a shambles

Exactly, driving home late on a Tuesday night is not fun or safe, surely we would fill a coach. Just advertise and let people know

 

[Wizaard]

Think a lot of people put a lot of money and effort into Fulham.

I'm going but can understand why others can't afford it.

Do able post work…..really….good luck on that one…. 6- 700 is a great turn out if we get that many.

 

[BFCJonny]

The sky red button is the biggest factor with midweek away attendances

Hasn’t been the case for boro,stoke,hudders and cov at Bloomfield road this season

 

[BFCJonny]

They’re all bigger clubs than us though. Blackpool away on a Tuesday night is more attractive than Coventry.

Blackpool is more attractive 7 days a week.

Why’s that ?

 

[JJpool]

Think your being a bit harsh, Coventry is a decent sized city, maybe brought 1700 to us. Their population is maybe 380-400k.

Boro take massive following everywhere and their population is the Middlesbrough and teesside area. Teeside is a similar size population to Coventry.

Huddersfield is a shorter journey than to Coventry, half the distance and time. They brought about 1300 I think.

We had sold about high seven hundreds and will get some more on the day.

Maybe not the best turnout ever but not a shambles.

Anyone who could set off at 4 would be fine. For many that is do'able without taking a full / half day.

Definitely has something to do with it. Nobbers took 1100 to WBA other week mind.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Cant believe the club hasn't put coach(es) on.

Extremely shortsighted.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

WBA is considerably closer than Coventry and the Nobbers have a 15 mile headstart on us.

 

[TangerineBayern]

Perhaps the SLO can look into the reason as to why the club has not put coaches on for this game, it does seem very shortsighted of them.

 

[bleach51]

WBA is considerably closer than Coventry and the Nobbers have a 15 mile headstart on us.

….and for those of us who travel over via the 55 ( and back) that effing 50 mile an hour zone to build a WTF junction at Nobbersville.

 

[tigger]

There is a big difference, Preston to West Brom 102 miles/1hr 50mins. Blackpool to Coventry 150 miles, 2hrs 45mins. Anything south of Birmingham mid week is a big ask for many

 

[JJpool]

Who cares, we've taken more than them to some other games. Plus WBA are an ex prem side with more of a draw than Coventry. They have their new manager buzz still and have pulled out some improved results.

Not to mention away trips are that bit further and more costly from Blackpool. When time is tight like tomorrow to get there after work an extra 20 or so mins makes it even harder to get there on time.
