Ahead of Saturday’s game against Reading in the Sky Bet Championship, the Sky Blues have produced a matchday guide for fans attending the game.
The Sky Bet Championship game is a 3pm* kick-off at the Coventry Building Society Arena
A crowd of around 16,000 is expected and we advise to arrive early, especially if they intend to purchase at Cash Turnstiles.
* A number of Season Ticket replacement tickets show the kick-off as 4:30pm – please note this is incorrect and kick-off is 3pm.
COVID Advice and Protocols
Coventry City issued updated COVID Advice and Protocols for fans at the start of the season – this applies to all our home games.
To summarise:
- Before you come to the game, we are encouraging fans to take a lateral flow test. This is not compulsory but would hopefully reduce the risk of transmission in the stadium.
- While not mandatory, all fans will be encouraged to wear face masks when at games. This is particularly important when fans are entering the stadium and walking around the concourse, as these are busy areas.
- We also encourage fans to continue social distancing wherever possible.
- There will also continue to be increased hygiene measures, and fans will be encouraged to wash their hands.
- In accordance with the current Government and EFL regulations, there is no requirement to provide proof of double vaccination to enter the stadium.
