Cov took 5000 to franchise as well so that bares a big significance on their average.
The official away attendance was just over 4,100 so not quite the 5k you state but still impressive for a league game.

Very much so, its obviously worked if its a sell out, also if they do get to Wembley then thats another 32,000 guaranteed to sell pretty much.

That's the value of competitions like the JPT.  You can ride the wave.  We'll have picked up a few life long fans at Wembley last year, for certain...despite the result.

I got talking to a bloke linked with a minor league baseball team in the US a couple of years ago. He said they worked on the principal of yield per seat. So it was better for them to have an 8k full house at $10 per seat than 4k at $20 because of the extra revenue those 4k fans brought in. More beer and burger sales, merchandise sales, car parking, TV revenue and so on.

Didn’t exactly say they would give the seats away for nowt, but near as. It was incredibly important for the franchise owners to be seen to be successful in the local community by offering value for money, a fun environment, letting kids in free, putting on kids entertainment, you name it. Even the beer and fast food outlets in the stadium were ‘sold’ to local breweries and food outlets because the owners wanted to be associated with supporting local businesses.

It’s a business model lower level football could do well to study, meanwhile well done Cov if they do indeed get a sell-out. If the extra 20k fans each spend a fiver on food, parking etc, that’s as good as selling 10k seats at £15, not £5, let alone the feel-good factor.

Coventry having a massive home crowd didn't do them any good tonight, 3-0 down to Crewe.

To be fair, just looked at the stats. Like ours have been many times, Cov 25 shots to Crewe 7.  Thats the sort of shit that happens to us.

I've wondered whether we look at ticket prices in the same way as it makes a lot of sense. Got a feeling we don't though and its more a case of just plucking a figure out of the air that they think they can get away with.
