Fans are advised to arrive early on Saturday. 

You are also advised to have your Season Card or Match Ticket ready to be scanned as you approach the turnstile - this speeds up entry for all supporters.

Where appropriate/neccessary, staff may use a searching wand for this to take place safely. 

Where it is necessary to search an Under 18, a member of the Coventry City safeguarding team will be present.

Sky Blue Sam's Post Box is back - giving young fans the opportunity to write to our mascot or their favourite City player. There are also responses from past games to collect as well!

Everyone’s favourite mascot Sam will be in attendance too, so make sure you get your high fives and photos with him pre-match. He will also be in the Zone handing out first time fan certificates as well!

Fans can again register their attendance at the Family Zone this season from 1pm to 2pm and will be able to get rewards for coming to the Family Zone regularly – this week, those fans eligible will be able to collect their ‘5’ attendance reward.

So make sure you visit the Family Zone before you head into the Arena on Saturday against Stoke City from 1pm to 2:15pm and join in the fun pre-match – we look forward to seeing you then!

Taking place on Armistice Day, Saturday's fixture will see Coventry City honour and remember our service men and women past and present.

Saturday will mark 105 years to the day since the signing of the Armistice agreement which saw the end to fighting in World War I – a conflict in which over 16 million people died.

This is also our closest game to the Coventry Blitz anniversary, which will also be remembered.

There will still be a minute silence before kick-off and players will be wearing the Poppy on the front of their shirts, with the Club donating these shirts to raise money for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

There is also going to be fundraising for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, with fans encouraged to donate on the day at the stadium or online.

Coventry City and the Coventry Building Society Arena are reiterating advice to supporters to take greater care when crossing the A444 Jimmy Hill Way following home games.

The Sky Blues and the Arena issued advice prior to our last home game, however there continued to be incidents and near misses following the match.

There were a number of near misses on the island of the A444, Winding House Lane and Judds Lane as supporters crossed the road without using appropriate crossing points- instead dodging vehicles on the carriageway and island.

While longer term solutions are being looked into regarding vehicle/pedestrian movement in the area after games, supporters are being urged to follow the instructions of stewards who are positioned at the crossing nearest to the roundabout.

We appreciate that the volume of supporters crossing in this area has increased and fans can use safe crossing points for the road:

• Using the light controlled crossing near the roundabout for A444/Winding House Lane
• Using the footbridge (overpass) over the A444, which goes to Car Park C or the other side of the A444
• Using the underpass at the other end of Car Park B/C, and then walking back towards Winding House Lane/Hen Lane along the pedestrian footpath

While stewards are in place to manage the exit of supporters and will continue to urge supporters not to take risks when crossing the road, we urge supporters to adhere to our advice and put safety first when leaving matches – this includes not walking on roads and not moving/going over barriers, which are in place for supporter safety.
