That's incorrect. The East lower held almost 5,000 in 2011 and the ESU opened with around 4,500. There may be another 500 in the SE corner on the east side of the blue wall but I'm certain it's not more than 10,000

With all the moaning I'm expecting it to be a new record attendance.
It would be better to give Coventry as much space as we can just so we don't have Coventry supporters celebrating in the home area if they score.
We could've given them from the East block G and the entire south before it gets difficult to segregate the supporters

If any celebrate near me ill tell them where to go and then ignore them.

I too was of the opinion that Coventry should have been given a few more tickets. But giving them the ESU would not have been a great idea. Firstly, it’s smaller than the allocation they have been given!
The sensible thing would have been to have given them one (or ideally 2) blocks in the ESL adjacent to their current support. This would have increased there allocation from just over 4500 to either 5100 or 5800 ish.
With these extra 1300 seats out of the equation for us, and had both upper tiers been open from the beginning so more STH can secure their usual seats, then this game would have been nailed on to sell out and probably been close to it now.
There is still time for that theory to be proved entirely wrong though by us selling out the upper tiers in full

I've just bought 3 in esu someone had already taken my normal ones in ns..
It would be great to prove Barber wrong and sell out the esu this weekend and then sell out wsu next week.
Should be good atmosphere and looking forward to hopefully seeing Locadia.

Looking like around 700 had been shifted.
What a total bloody shambles.
Give Coventry the entire East Stand. Entire West and North for us, and use the South as an overflow (employing the netting that thwarted the Millwall thugs if required).
Sheesh....it's not even difficult! Club gets income from ticket sales (and add-ons) from from another 4-5K Coventry fans for starters.
Totally daft to base expectations for the Cov game on the previous round versus the scum. Very different in so many ways.
ETA: I know it's too late now! But some thought and planning rather than just semi-educated guesswork would have done the trick.

I don't get all this give them all the tickets they want attitude. I know it will create a great atmosphere but this is a chance to get into the quarter finals of the cup, ffs. 8 thousand Coventry fans cheering their team on will not help us, so it's a no from me as 4.5 thousand is plenty.
I'm also saying this when my wife and all her family live and were born in Coventry and they can't get tickets. Was tempted to get them in the esu with me but that would be a bit hypocritical. I'm hoping they will find a way to get in the away end and not like that lot up the road.

The match might be a rare occasion where no one moans about WSU's catering.
Don’t get why people want to give Coventry more tickets. We need to be the home team giving plenty of vocal support. We don’t need to give the Coventry players an incentive through plenty of vocal support from their fans. Can’t believe some on here want to give an away team over 6/8 thousand seats. The income for the club won’t be huge for those extra tickets, yet for the players on the pitch who could almost feel like a home game

Could get all the pacemakers in sync that would make a racket and the north stand could take the time from the east.

If there were 8000 coventry fans it might wake some usually sleepy ones of us up to make some noise.
The noiser they are, the nosier we are theory.
