For Sky Blues supporters it was a nervous afternoon at Crawley on Sunday but Coventry City got the job done to ensure their League One status for the 2015/16 campaign.
An announcement on season ticket prices was made the same evening by the club, who have reduced prices by around 25% on the last full season at the Ricoh Arena, with an Adult ticket costing £249 in all areas of the ground.
Six and twelve-game packages are also available at the 'Early Bird' rate and work at £13 per game for Adults.
The club's owners remain deeply unpopular with the majority of fans given the the decline of the past few seasons and the move away to Northampton. A return to Coventry was welcome but within weeks of that, the Ricoh Arena became the property of Wasps RFC and it is their branding and club shop that now domimate the perimeter of the ground.
Everything that the club does is viewed through that prism and the reduction in prices is no different but, taken on its own, an Adult season ticket offers 23 games of League One football for £10.83 per match.
The Premium Zone area has been scrapped which, in reality, was three blocks in the middle of the East Stand which anyone could access anyway even if they had a cheaper ticket because crowds have been so sparse at the stadium for much of the season.
More controversially, no season tickets are being sold for the North Stand of the ground (behind one goal) in an attempt to create a better atmosphere with more supporters closer together along the two sides.
