Coventry City Football Club tonight stood accused of “daylight robbery” as Birmingham Blues fans raged about high ticket prices for the sides’ clash later this month.
Sukh Singh, chairman of the BCFC Official Supporters’ Club, spoke out as Birmingham City FC prepares to visit the Coventry Building Society Arena for its match against the Sky Blues on Saturday September 27.
“We are outraged by the ticket prices for the upcoming away fixture at Coventry City – £45 for adults and £35 for U18s is nothing short of daylight robbery,” Sukh fumed.
‘Cov ticket prices are unacceptable’
“Football has to be affordable and accessible to all supporters – not priced to profit from fans, especially the younger fans and families.
“These prices are unacceptable and show a complete disregard for the match-going fan.
“The EFL and the incoming independent football regulator must take action. Away ticket prices have to be capped at £30 to protect the game’s future and ensure fairness for travelling supporters across the country.
“Supporters are the lifeblood of football. Without us, there is no game. It’s time for action.”
Coventry FC has been contacted for comment.
