    Why our crowds are awful

    Don't think anyone on the face of it would say 10K is good, my only argument is no other club would be getting more than that considering what we have been through. In the last 13 years think how many fans must have passed away. Every other club will have replaced them with new young fans...

    Why our crowds are awful

    Cov rugby get about a 1200, Blaze get around 2800, 11k for football is where I get our total 15k from.

    Why our crowds are awful

    And not every Leeds fan will be from Leeds.

    Why our crowds are awful

    I know plenty of people who just simply cant be bothered to go. They used to go out of loyalty and routine. The move to Northampton broke that. How can we expect people to have loyalty to something that stabbed them in the stomach?

    Why our crowds are awful

    40k fans attend Leeds sporting events (football & rugby). Around 5% of the city's population. 15k fans attend Coventry sporting events (football, rugby and hockey). Around 5% of the city's population. No I'm not claiming that we are better supported than Leeds, just that using the size of a...

    Why our crowds are awful

    So if your comment about us being the worst supported team for a city of our size wasn't based on a percentage, what was it based on?

    Leeds United is worse.

    Why our crowds are awful

    Clubs without a Football League top 6 finish in the last 13 years. As you can see, even all the others have had at least something positive happen in that time: AFC Wimbledon 2nd in Conference 11/12 season Bradford City 7th in League 2 (a play off place) 12/13 season Cambridge U 2nd...

    Loyalty works both ways.

    Im sorry but whoever told you that we will have to move out again if we don't get 20k plus is scaremongering. Why would the club be in trouble on 11k fans but see the solution as moving away where they will get 2k fans? The answer to the problem is quite simple. If sisu don't want league...

    Where have I said that? I am saying the club will have budgeted for 2k crowds + the Arsenal and Clarke money, whereas now we have 11k crowds + the Arsenal and Clarke money. As for FFP I am unsure about when it kicks in, but I think I read it is at the point of receiving the money, so Arsenal...

    I think that had it not been for the Arsenal game and Clarke money we would have gone into this season with by far the lowest wage bill in the league. As it is I imagine it must be about halfway. I think they used that money as a gamble that we would do well and attendances at Sixfields might...

    Why wouldn't they have budgeted for 2k? The deal to come back wasn't agreed until after the season had started, therefore it wouldn't have been very sensible to just assume a deal could be done. Until that new rental agreement was signed there was no basis to budget for anything over 2k fans.

    Why? Try and answer that without making reference to what other clubs got please. None of them were in a situation the same as ours so what Leicester or Leeds got is irrelevant.

    Unless Sisu are incredibly thick (not unrealistic, but hopefully on this occasion not) then they will have budgeted for an average attendance of 2k this season. The club will be in a great financial position if come the end of the season the average is over 11k.

    No they didn't have 30k in league one, but they did have 20k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - so please excuse any spelling or grammar errors :) They also used to get some pitiful Premier League crowds. Far lower than what we would get in many cases.

    What happened to the principle of "its an individuals right if they wish to attend or not"? We had 13 months of 1500 fans attending Sixfields which was contrary to what was good for the club. That was their right we were told, they should not be criticised for going it was said. So do we still...

    The New Stadium

    Wouldn't it be better to ask why those people didn't return and what can be done to bring them back? Wouldn't that be the best most sensible thing to do? Or you can just keep insulting the customers
