City Have Cheapest Season Tickets Say Club

Sky Blues season ticket prices cheapest in Championship

A national survey has revealed that Coventry City's season ticket prices are the cheapest in the Championship.

The Sky Blues have come out as the cheapest in their league in a survey into the prices of tickets for clubs in all four divisions, with fans paying as little as just £277 for 23 league games in the 2008/09 campaign.

This is £13 less than the next cheapest Championship clubs, Charlton and Barnsley, and a full £248 cheaper than the most expensive club in the second tier - Crystal Palace - where supporters fork out £525 to watch the Eagles play.

Coventry's prices are also cheaper than nearly 80 per cent of the teams in League One thanks to the fact that the club has frozen its prices for the second year in succession.

Sky Blues supporters have until Monday June 30 to purchase their season tickets at the cheapest "Early Bird" prices and are hoping to reach the 9,000 mark.

Sky Blues boss Chris Coleman said: "The supporters have been superb since I arrived at the Ricoh and the crowds we got last season were fantastic considering where we were in the league.

"We got over 28,000 at our final home game against Wolves, which was higher than anything we ever got at Fulham in the Premier League when I was manager there.

"I hope that supporters have seen that, with the new owners and a new management team, we really mean business for the coming campaign. I can promise we are doing our best to assemble a squad of players the fans are going to want to come to support.

"Our aim is always to do our best to play attractive, winning football. If we do that I'm sure the supporters will come again and we know that there is potential for massive support in this area.

"All I can ask is that the fans come and get their season tickets because we're certainly going to need your support again."
