Interesting comment, I assumed it was a national policy on attendances rather than local

Heard at work today that Wolverhampton are only allowing around 4,500 in for their football game this weekend. Perhaps Coventry council have a similar limit? Or maybe working to have it operated as a trial for a higher % capacity that is currently allowed?

Wonder if they are trying to pitch it as a trial event regarding rugby league World Cup fixture ? I know it’s not till end of October but could be chance to test footflow and bottlenecks

I think you may be on to something judging by what I've heard, or at least that was the plan last week.

This morning however the latest government advice regarding Leicester, and seven other areas where the Indian variant is problematic, saying that people should avoid traveling into and out of these areas. This may scupper our chances of a bigger than expected crowd given Leicester is only a short distance from the Ricoh.

So effectively Wasps can't offer tickets for sale to Leicester fans although how many of them actually come from Leicester is moot. Plus would have to be careful about selling locally willy nilly (not a banned phrase I hope)

It's only recommendations so Wasps can offer the tickets and then Leicester fans have to decide what to do - a sort of travel but don't travel situation. 

[ArleyWasp]

The restrictions in place for our game at the Gardens make interesting reading, presumably something similar will be in place for our Tiggers game.

Do they actually have to admit to being a Tigers' supporter?
