Last updated : 15 July 2018 By CNS Sport

Coventry City are making blocks 14.15 and 16 at the Ricoh Arena, season ticket holders only for home matches.

The blocks are seen as the main singing area of the ground and were heavily populated during the play-off game against Notts County,

The club have issued the following statement:

"Match tickets will not be available in Blocks 14, 15 and 16 – making these areas Season Ticket holders only.

This follows safety concerns at the end of last season, when there was overcrowding in Block 14. In bigger games at the end of last season, there were times where 3 people were standing to one seat. This has been identified as a serious issue which was raised at the end of season SAG (Safety Advisory Group) meeting as a matter of concern by the Police.

In a follow up meeting, numerous options were discussed to address this issue. One of which was closing Block 14, which is not something which any party wants to do as this is an area which can generate a brilliant atmosphere on matchdays.

It was agreed that the most favourable option would be not to sell any Match by Match tickets in Blocks 14, 15 & 16, and the club also agreed not to sell any further Season Tickets in these blocks.

The club has also committed to extra stewarding in these areas, with these arrangements set to be reviewed at the end of September."
