fair comment but if they sold sixfields out for every home game do you think they would be so willing to come back any time soon??
Click to expand...

yes I think they would, if there is a following then it can come back to Cov. We need the club to own a ground and this is the only way the club will come back to cov in my opinion!

Those Loyal to the Northampton Second Team will not be responsible for bringing Coventry back to Coventry. It is the stay away fans who will influence it.

The Coventry fans attendances at sixfields have roughly been

1000
1500
1500
1700

So 700 up on the first game at sixfields, if we continue to climb the table I can see the attendance getting slowly higher. A gradual climb that will probably level off between 2500-3000 I reckon

I'm surprised at how it's increasing. Alot more people behind the goal today. That's where the noise is coming from.
Click to expand...

Honestly - 3 wins and a draw at home, some very high scoring games - and you're surprised that it's increased to just over 2k.

I guess that says it all then.

Yes because having had years of misery since relegation from the premier league it sounds exciting - I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

again if you think that this is keeping the club away from the city you're so deluded, its a deal between ACL and SISU that needs sorting. No fans sitting on a hill or even in the ground is going to change that my friend.

Theres only one side that don't want to talk and we know who that is. Im sure if the attendence at sixfields was 0 then the club would be back at the Ricoh asap.

Well if you believe that, that goes against your earlier statement as it doesn't matter if people go or not as it won't make any difference to the ultimate outcome.

wont happen. why would you propose to move out of town for three years, whilst building a new stadium, say you will cover losses for that period and then pull the plug?? moving back home literally puts millions back into there pockets. this should be the way forward

Again, if you say that's what'll happen, that they'll cover the losses regardless, then fans going or otherwise make no difference to that.

if however they *won't* cover the losses, then oblivion is a very real possibility.

And 5 or 5,000 fans won't change that.

Your confidence in SISU to deliver on their promises is refeshing... I'm afraid that I dont share your optimism that they will deliver on what they promise though.
I hope I am wrong.

To not consider that as a very real possibility is wishful thinking.

Or a way to rationalise guilt about the consequences of not going.

I'm not going, I'm fully aware by not going I contribute towards the death of the club.

So be it, I quite like the money I spend on leisure to be fun not an ordeal after all.

But my eyes are wide open to the consequences.

It just means that sisu have to dip deeper into their pockets rather than use income from supporter's.

I gave monitored the progress from the hill...

There is no chance that there was 200 more there today.

Everyone of us said on kickoff there was likely 200 less!!

and you really think SISU are going to panic sell if the income isn't there?? Hmmm don't think so, they had the opportunity to sell up not too long ago and ensured this did not happen.

But if SISU are telling the truth, and will fund all losses regardless before building a nice new ground, then why would you want that?

Either they're not telling the truth about being prepared to fund losses for that length of time (probable IMHO) in which case be prepared for oblivion if this doesn't work out for them;

Or they *are* telling the truth (unlikely IMHO), but if they *were* they'd actually have a long term plan and commitment towards the club.

I make no bones about it, the minute bricks (or concrete nowadays I guess) start being laid on a new stadium is the day I back them.

If however you believe they're telling the truth now about funding losses, what's to stop you backing them now? And even if you don;t do that, why the sheer hatred towards those who are? Either they share your faith in a SISU future, or their attendance or otherwise will have no effect on the outcome.

Well... apart from the fact it's a protest of absence, which gives the impression nobody can be arsed whether the club lives or dies anyway.

The fickle nature of football fans means that crowds will drop quicker during a run of poor form than they grow during good form.

SISU will be shocked by an avg of less than 1500 at 'home' games so far.

Absolutely. Quote from a Gillingham fan in the pub after I informed him the gate would be about 2000, "Seems like most fans have given up on the club'. I put him right obviously, but that's surely how many see it. Most football fans cannot get their head around a prolonged boycott.

I'm the same. It is a complete pain. But I will not be going. I may travel to away games through.

Yup, forget the rights and wrongs of the move, there need to be some active movements about the fact we want a club in Coventry.

And come any active protests, it's pretty clear those who can be arsed to go to Sixfields (to either stand on a hill or sit in a ground) should be high on the list of people you'd target to swell numbers for such a protest.

So given numbers show people care, bit pathetic to go dick waving about who's the better fan full-stop, from *whichever* perspective (all this watching the game for free bullshit not helpful either. Somehow doubt seeing some of the ground stood on a hill is quite what people had in mind about the full fan experience after all!) just makes it more likely protests get more and more passive.
