    16,000 where were you?

    Well, that's exactly how I felt. Didn't listen on the radio, didn't go to games and at times didn't even know we were playing. The minute I knew we were coming back though I got my desire back in an instance and immediately went out and bought a season ticket. The bond was broken for me too...

    16,000 where were you?

    We're going round in circles. Feel good factor, 4 page pull outs in the CT on fans excitement on our being home, national coverage, City fans buzzing that we were finally back at the Ricoh and an absolutely massive clamour for tickets for that first game, which again got lots of media coverage...

    Absolutely no-one has said price is irrelevant. Where do you get that from? People are merely saying in spite of price, availability, disenchantment, can't go's etc.the crowd should still have been much higher than 11,000.

    Errrm, 7 games unbeaten. Isn't that some success on the pitch? Good runs usually equate to an increase in attendances. Let's hope by the time Preston come we are still around the top 6. I would be very interested to know what the Preston crowd is going to be.

    Let's just cross our fingers and hope that our good form continues until the fans start coming back. We need a good season and a consistently good one at that at this rate and some more JPT / FA Cup progress too hopefully.

    Fantastic post, NW. Agree with all of that.

    Best way to get new owners is for us to be successful. Then Sisu may well bugger off and we'll be much more attractive to would be buyers. To be successful we need good players and a good manager. To bring in good players we need bigger crowds. To get that we obviously need bums on seats. We...

    The club have certainly played their part, but I would say both fans and club alike deserve a degree of criticism.

    Do they look kindly upon people coming in through their doors who look rather impoverished?

    Suddenly turned into a cheapo, horror style, revenge film for no reason whatsoever.

    Film Thread 2014

    Just seen The Call, starring Halle Berry on Sky Movies Premiere. WTF? A really, quite good, taught, interesting, atmospheric thriller for the first hour and then suddenly it takes the most ridiculous of plot turns and the final 20 mins or so are a complete joke, with a really crass, dumbest of...

    Never happy!

    No-one is expecting 27,000 every game. Don't believe anyone has ever said that. Think most people were expecting 15,000+ on Saturday though and that I think was a very sensible notion before the game.

    So 11,000 and less the rest of the season?

    16,000 where were you?

    I do think a few people are missing the point slightly. This isn't about what our crowds were like before we left the city, or how they compare to other clubs, or how they are so much better than Sixfields, this is all about a positive feeling around the club and the city of Coventry itself and...

    Those slagging the Sixfielders off for going up should now be slagging all the fans for now not going up the Ricoh.

    16,000 where were you?

    Hypothetically; One single week. City at home to Wolves in a league game. Saturday. Both teams in top 6. City at home in JPT Regional Final. Win would take City through to Wembley. Tuesday City at home to Liverpool, FA Cup. Saturday. What would the crowds be? Would people still say they...

    16,000 where were you?

    Just think the 'carnival' feelgood factor and excitement around the city of having the club home should have extended past one single game. All we did yesterday was revert to pre Sixfields attendances once again. I was truly expecting the first 3 or 4 home games to have very good attendances...
