Coventry City are to keep the North Stand open after all.
The club have said that they will keep the North Stand open although both season tickets and match tickets will only be sold from row LL downwards.
Steve Waggott is quoted by the Coventry Telegraph as saying: “The club have listened to supporters and are reopening the North Stand for every match, but in a slightly reduced capacity with rows LL upwards being closed unless demand dictates that they should be open.
“We had lots of decisions to make in a very short space of time – decisions that, ordinarily, we would have liked to have more time to consult supporters on.
“We have, however, listened to supporters over the past fortnight and having got through Friday from a logistical point of view, we’ve decided to look at this again.
“The North Stand will now be reopened and supporters will be able to purchase Season Tickets there from row LL downwards.
“Any supporters who have purchased season tickets elsewhere in the ground can now get in touch if they want to move back to the North Stand."
"A few supporters who moved to the South Stand have already been contacted because we have decided, with agreement from ACL, that it will be closed for matches – again unless demand dictates.
“It would be great to be in a position where we open up the South Stand and the whole of the North Stand each week because there is such strong demand from supporters. I am sure if the team produce more performances and results like Friday night then that will be the case.”
“We were all hoping for a great occasion on Friday night but I think it surpassed all our expectations. The atmosphere was unbelievable and Steven Pressley’s team really delivered on the pitch.
“Wouldn’t it be great if we could see a similar occasion against Yeovil on Saturday? The crowd and the team were bouncing off one another and Steven and the team all said afterwards how much the supporters drove them on.”
