If you’d have banned boozing in the car I might have remembered more. And slept less at the match.

And that’s just when you were driving!

Ha ha. No chance. Chappie had us back from London and back in the Parkside by 7. Like Concorde (and only slightly cheaper).

I decided that I can manage one game without getting mindlessly pissed. So have just bought six kids tickets near my season ticket place.

£40 including mine for a day out for seven people really is exceptional value by any standards. I like a good moan now and again, but credit when it’s due.

Hopefully the kids thing in the training ground will be open beforehand to. Although they don’t seem to be giving the tickets away yet.

Which would need 5 blocks and displace the singers there, 6 if you include the 2 smaller ones.

When we used to give 5,800 in the clubs it was 113-118, 213-217, and the away team got a big advantage. Seats were also lost in 111, 119, 218 and 212 for segregation, about 6 deep had the orange mesh.

ESL110/111 + SSL113 will accomadate 2900 including the segregation zones.

The 'singers' moved to 110/111 because the club wanted a singing section, not because they were good seats, with good views and good acoustics (can't hear much sound fom them/that area).

That being the case, moving up to better seats, with better views and better acoustics, with many more singers, shouldnt be a problem

They are simply in a much bigger singing section, and right above most of the away fans.

One combined singing home end of 8000, (with away fans low down in a non atmospheric area), will be better than than two sections in different locations with one having shit acoustics.

Sound travels futher, down and out, from height

The logic of making these low cost changes is compelling and commonsense.

Get the licencing guys in City, show them the plan and introduce it for 25/26 season.

Reminds me when I was living in the ghost town also known as coventry.
1983 we played at Carlisle and went up in Dave Kelly's Ford Capri 2.8 fuel injection.
He got a little pissed and told me to drive home and he needed to be back in Leicester for 8pm or I'd get a hiding!
We got to cov at 7pm - 120mph the whole way down the M6. One hour to Knutsford and one hour to Junction 2 of M6 at cov.
One bus ride later I was in my local at 7.30pm and mentioned I'd been at Carlisle to watch City.
"Bullshit, no way would you be back here at 7.30pm from Carlisle...."
Pulls out the programme from the back pocket..... shut the cov twats up.

Just got a cracking seat in 228 . £15. Brilliant can't wait. Some great seats available if you act fast.
