Last updated : 06 November 2010 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry City are expecting a crowd of 28,000 for their Championship match against Leeds at the Ricoh Arena this afternoon.

At 7pm last night, 26,299 tickets had been sold including Leeds taking up their full allocation of 6,282 and City's Retail Head Justin Tose told the CT: "We're confident that we can reach 28,000 by 3pm"

If that figure was reached, it would be the biggest for a home league game since Coventry City moved to the Ricoh Arena in August 2005.
