Coventry City manager Chris Coleman is hoping for a big crowd as the Sky Blues take on Sheffield United tonight at the Ricoh Arena.

Coleman, who has been sorting out this week which players he will be awarding contracts to, hopes for a big turn out tonight but realises that football is not cheap, saying to the CT: "It's a big ask for our fans to keep putting their hands in their pockets because it's not cheap to watch a game of football these days and the games are coming thick and fast.

"But I hope we get another good turn-out because there's no doubt the right atmosphere helps.

"We've improved as a team, as a group of players, over the past few months and I think the fans recognise that.


"We're on a good run of results and, more importantly, the performances have been a lot better, but we must maintain that.

"We'll have slip-ups every now and then, of course - we're only human - but the longer we can maintain the levels of performance we have been giving the more likely the fans will come to watch us."
