I often wonder how we didn't get relegated in 93/94 when the following players all started first team matches (IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE!);
Steve Morgan
Sean Flynn
David Rennie
John Williams
Willie Boland
Julian Darby
Leigh Jenkinson
Jonathan Gould
Tony Sheridan
Ally Pickering
John Gayle
Sandy...
Really? Surely you are in the minority? I hero worshipped City players when I was a lad a million times more than any other sportsman/pop star/film star.
Oggy, Cyrille, Terry Gibson, Speedie, Nuddy. Many many more. All of them absolute gods to me.
But you don't recognise it as being insensitive to the thousands of fans that have been robbed of the opportunity to watch their team? Next season would have been my eldest's first ever match, she's spoken about it excitedly since she was three. She now can't go because we are not playing in...
But even so would CCFC be an obvious choice to be one of the top 46 out of 92 clubs to receive such an award after it has alienated almost its entire fanbase, families included?
We can only guess but without the minus 10 we'd have been in the top 4 until christmas. I suspect that would have been continued success enough to see a rise on the previous year's avg of 10-11K.
Plus the Wolves game alone would have attracted a minimum of 20K thanks to a huge Wolves following...
How unlike you to generalise. The quality of players on the pitch makes absolutely no difference to me. We play in Coventry, I travel 400 miles to attend. We play outside of Coventry, I won't travel 200 yards. Simple really.
Don't forget the average charged for Shitfields games will be less than £10. Say, it's £7 (guess but probably not far off). The lost revenue would be about £2.5M. By the time you add on lost sponsorship, merchandise etc its got to be pushing £4M.
Of course we bloody well. There's no way we'll premanently relocate to Shitfields and we all know the stadium is a load of bollocks.
Timescales will become clearer post-JR but we'll move back eventually, even if it was with a post-liquidation CCFC Pheonix side.
That's what I reckon anyhow.
