Last updated : 25 August 2005 By Covsupport
Coventry City will have to continue with capacities of 23,000 at the Arena. Currently the Police and other agencies involved on the safety committee are not satisifield that the stadium is at a standard where it can accommodate 32,500 spectators in a safe environment.

No news has been forthcoming as to when the capaciity is likely to rise, something which is costing the Sky Blues around £180,000 in lost revenue per game.

The police have also insisted that the ticket office will only be able to sell match tickets for the home game versus Southampton on Monday until 6pm.

The Arena ticket office will be open on both Saturday and Sunday - 9-12.30 on Saturday and 11-3pm on Sunday. The West Orchards ticket office will be open from 9am until 6pm on Saturday but will not be open on Sunday.
