    Attendances Next Season

    Again, there's a massive difference between drawing one of the big boys in the cup, and watching Preston on a cold winters night. I went to Bournemouth for a day out the other week, but I wouldn't dream of doing it every other week!

    The issue is that Footballers are getting paid to much money. If we are paying our highest paid player £10k a week when we've only sold 10k season tickets, and may only average 15-18k attendances there's something very wrong. The business model for many clubs just doesnt work. You would never...

    Is there a spread of covid though, or is it a case of the "pingdemic" striking again? We have a lot of employees off at the moment, self isolating, but so far none have returned a positive test. Fortunately I'm immune from covid as I dont have the app.

    Osti showed great improvement during his spell here and added a genuine threat at corners too, he appeared to love playing for us, and given his age I think he will go on to have a great career. If there is any way we can tempt Brighton to part with him, I'd definitely pull all the stops out...

    He didnt have a good season here though did he, he actually had a good HALF season! And that was at league 2 level ffs. He had a real purple patch, which eventually got us out of that division, but he's done fuck all since other than make some big money. Thanks for the memories Mark, but...

    It was a very big rumour tbf. And he may well of enjoyed other flavours of fizzy drinks too.

    He was an excellent player, but his problems where well known, after leaving us he waited about 6 years before he got a contract in the top flight, and only Southampton would take a punt on him. But in fairness he did well for them, getting a fa cup runners up medal.

    We didnt sign Marsden, as he had (how can I put this) "off field issues" allegedly. I'd best leave it at that!

    Maybe they could take on the sevices of a PR or Marketing company. Travelling round the city, the football club is largely anonymous. On the back of Englands relative success in the Euro's and our imminent return home, I'd of expected the club to launch a massive warwickshire wide publicity...

    We certainly had plenty of players that were "too comfortable" playing for Coventry. That's where MR has changed the ethos, those seasons under Alex Ferguson's reign has rubbed off on him.

    I just wish more people In Cov were interested, I believe the problem is 2 fold, 1, Cov being a cosmopolitan city with a large immigrant population, and a large student population, we dont have enough people with deep rooted family histories of following the club. Also those population (in...

    Yes we do, and we have a brilliant manager, but to put things into context, West Brom just spent 5million on 1 player. In order to be challenging for the top 6, we will need at least a couple more years of development imho. But, we are a work in progress, and its enjoyable watching that...

    Total complete and utter bollocks, we have just achieved 2 promotions in 3 years, followed by a successful fight to survive our first year back in the Championshiop! We have one of the best young managers in the game, the club are on the rise, we are returning to our rightful home after a...

    But, I'll reiterate, we have returned to the city before, we sold out our return game, then attendances declined to the extent that only 1 stand was open, and even that was rarely full. We have to accept that we have a hard core fan base of around10-12k that's it, and we have a stadium...

    I agree, but the fact is, that experience clearly isn't worth the money to many people. If it was, we wouldn't of closed 3 of the 4 stands!

    Attendances Next Season

    That's bloody obvious though, a massive cup game or a wembley visit is a once in a blue moon occasion, and a far bigger draw than fucking Derby! I wouldn't count any anger against the owners either, the harsh reality is that too few people in and around Cov give enough of a fuck to spend...

    We did see him in action last Friday night. Although people will say that didnt count, just like most of Max's goals 😉

    It's way to early to judge of course, but 2 of the goals he conceded in the totally meaningless friendly against Savile were piss poor. Until he proves otherwise, GK is still an area of concern.

    You sure it was Instagram and not Grinder?
