Fans are advised to arrive early on Monday night - we recommend entering turnstiles at 7:15pm.

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

Due to the current national terror threat level, there will also be searches on entry. We may also ask to search your bag. We’ll be as quick as we can when undertaking our searches, but please allow some extra time for this to take place and co-operate with our security staff.

However, if you can avoid bringing a bag then please do - this helps speed up the entry process.

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.

The Coventry Building Society Arena is an all-seater stadium.

Following communication from authorities regarding this, including regarding the recent games against Southampton and Birmingham City, Coventry City and the Arena have been asked to remind Sky Blues supporters that persistent standing is not allowed at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Persistently standing for the whole match or for long periods is against ground regulations and may affect the enjoyment of the game for other supporters, whose view may be affected, as well as your safety and the safety of others. 

The Coventry Building Society Arena is a licensed premise.

It’s illegal for under-18s to buy alcohol anywhere in the UK.

Under the provisions of the Licensing Act 2003, it is illegal in England and Wales:

• To sell alcohol to someone under the age of 18 anywhere.

There will NOT be a road closure of the A444/Jimmy Hill Way after the game.

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

We appreciate that the volume of supporters crossing in this area has increased and fans should 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.

Coventry City will show their support for the Level Playing Field ‘Unite For Access’ campaign at this Monday’s tie against Maidstone United, when we will be underlining our support for the campaign and for improving access for disabled supporters.

The Level Playing Field 'Unite For Access' campaign is an annual period of inspiration and celebration of good access and inclusion at sports venues. The 2024 campaign will run from Saturday 24th February to Sunday 10th March.

Sky Blues stars were on hand earlier this month to meet members of the Club’s new Disabled Supporters Association, ahead of the Unite For Access campaign period. Established in partnership with the Football Club and Level Playing Field, the purpose of the Association is to represent the views of disabled fans throughout the Club.

While not a Supporters Club, the new DSA will work in partnership with the Club and Level Playing Field to improve the matchday experience for all disabled supporters and help forge better relationships and ongoing communication between the Sky Blues and disabled fans.

To follow the group on X (formerly known as Twitter) click here or search for @SkyBluesDSA

The Club will be profiling the DSA in our programme versus Maidstone, as well as showing its support for the campaign on the scoreboard and tannoy and throughout matchday.

Here at Coventry City, we are working to improve the matchday experience and access for our disabled supporters – both wheelchair and ambulant disabled fans.

The Sky Blues have taken a number of steps forward to already improve the experience for disabled fans in recent years – including running Disabled Supporters Forums, improving the ticket purchasing experience and establishing the Sensory Room, while Sky Blues in the Community run a number of projects and programmes that engage with disabled fans and members of our local area.

Owner and Executive Chairman Doug King said:

“As a Club, we believe that all people should be able to attend live sports, regardless of disability.

“We are committed to making Coventry City accessible to all, and will continue to work hard to continue to improve the matchday experience for these supporters.”
