[Albion] ESU and WSU open for Coventry game

[Steve.S]

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.

That wouldn’t be the case, just given the away team an advantage

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

Can you segregate those 2 blocks fro the rest of ESL?

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

Have you bought your seven yet?

I don't think it happens that way often at the Amex

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.

Why don't we go the whole hog and move the tie to the Ricoh...?

 

[spoonie]

2,200 left in east upper - if we sell another 2,000 by Tuesday the west upper could come into play. What a set of fans we are
500 sold today is decent so far

Just a fantasy on my behalf. Sorry.

Doubtless Barber will be super-spinning by now and heartily congratulating himself on his Treat 'Em Mean, Keep 'Em Keen ticket sales policy.

Not fooling many on here tho, other than maybe pavlov's lapdog [MENTION=24867]chaileyjem[/MENTION].

I don't think WSU will be needed but it would be nice to see ESU well populated by the end of all this.

In a radical move the club could even publicise that some of the best seats in the house have become newly available...

 

[jackanada]

No sign the club have promoted opening esu.
Unless you signed in to buy tickets you wouldn't find out there were any decent ones available.

This game could have sold better, they need to look at the whole process, could have given more tickets to the covs while letting Brighton fans with no purchase history buy. Stand by stand gives the wrong message and can force people into buying in 2nd choice areas.

You don't need to sign in to see what tickets are available.

Plus they have never said it was sold out etc so people trying to get one now still can! If you were checking before and decided against it I dare say you would look once more.

A little promotional activity on Twitter / Facebook etc might help shift a few I’d have thought.

So if west upper is 4.5 k and east has 2k ish left, it means attendance/seats sold is over 24 k with a week to go.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

~50 esl
~67 ns
~12 wsl

~2184 esu

Will they give us 8k?
