Unfortunately you cannot always organise the right result to go with a day that was otherwise very successful for Coventry City.
Just a few hours after announcing that they would be playing at the Ricoh Arena once again in 2018/19 the Sky Blues attracted more than 28,000 supporters through the turnstiles for their League Two fixture against Accrington Stanley.
Justifiably much-maligned by their fans over the past couple of seasons for high prices and a distinct lack of customer-friendliness, City did everything right for this one with thousands of free tickets for local schoolchildren, £5 tickets for everyone else, reduced price programmes, free parking available and a supporter village before the match.
Dominant at home in recent matches, Mark Robins injury and illness-hit side went behind early and never got in a blow at a well-organised Stanley side.
Empty seats aplenty were in evidence before the final whistle but the children at the game seemed to enjoy it and it keeps the club firmly in their mind for the future.
