Lowest attendance for a Saturday home game in Coventry since 1958. More than 3,000 lower than the opening day game, although the number of away fans was also lower than normal for today's game.
Do SISU have any plans about how to generate more interest from the people of Coventry? Do they fuck?
There are so many easy things SISU could do that wouldn't cost any money (or very little money). There are also lots of things they could do to increase revenues. They just don't care.
They were moaning on facebook about it being 29 quid for a ticket and a pie.The weather may have put a few off too. Had forecast thunder and lightning and potential downpours.
Have to say though that Port Vale and their non football would put many a paying customer off.
And there would be some truth in that! Think the chickens are now coming home to roost with the walk up prices and the gates that will reflect that. Think lots of people said that the attendances would be 6-7000 on average. Think we will be lucky to get 6000 Tuesday.They were moaning on facebook about it being 29 quid for a ticket and a pie.
Wasn't the weather the same everywhere?The weather may have put a few off too. Had forecast thunder and lightning and potential downpours.

Not sure weather works like that, otherwise when they do the weather on TV they would just do a general one for the UK and it would be a 13 second report.Wasn't the weather the same everywhere?
We do. 4 of us drive up from Hampshire for every home game. Do 80% of away games too. And before anybody asks, I'm not putting forward a case for supporter of the year, just responding to the post.I wonder how many of our fans come from outside of Coventry now too.

100% based on my straw poll.I drive down from South Yorkshire but it gets harder every week.
Just arrived back home after stuck on M1 in pouring rain. Must be mad !!
I have no stats, but from talking to people around me, most seem to live outside the city, it wouldn't surprise me if as a %, more have stopped going from inside cov, than those living outside of cov.I wonder how many of our fans come from outside of Coventry now too.
Interesting, and well done Hampshire boys. I live near Newcastle and get to as many games as I can, mainly away - which means that over the last few (many) years, I've seen very few victories!I have no stats, but from talking to people around me, most seem to live outside the city, it wouldn't surprise me if as a %, more have stopped going from inside cov, than those living outside of cov.

Nobody in the premier charges £20 for away fans. There was 1 club that agreed to twenties plenty out of the entire football league 92! That was us, so today would of been £20 in advance. If they've walked up and paid it'll be £22. And unless they charge away fans differently, no pie is costing anybody £7. And if they paid that, well that's their own stupid fucking faults!When away fans are paying £20 at many Premier league games, it's appalling that the fans who decide to attend on the day have to pay so much, and fair play to the Port Vale fans if they did have to pay £29
They would indeed! Think you got the idea though ref weather and it doesn't have a massive bearing on walk up etc. Traditionaly, Boxing Day/New years day is the best attendance at football and is when the weather is probably the worst/coldest aswell.Not sure weather works like that, otherwise when they do the weather on TV they would just do a general one for the UK and it would be a 13 second report.

Won't be many away fans on Tues night travelling from Carllise!The weather may have put a few off too. Had forecast thunder and lightning and potential downpours.

Pouring rain? Was a bit breezy all night. But got dragged out shopping when I got up late morning. Ended up sitting outside a pub in glorious sunshine when finished.I drive down from South Yorkshire but it gets harder every week.

The journey isn't that bad. It is 1 road all the way. But work gets in the way. Didn't go today as was on nights last night. Won't be going Tuesday as back in work 5am Wednesday morning.Can't see them bringing more than 100, hell of a journey for a night game
Southampton - via sponsorship from Virgin Media - are charging £20 for away fans at all of their Premiership matches this season. The rest of the Premiership has adopted a £30 away fan charge - given the higher quality of much of the football, I think our £22 (without the pie!) is still dreadful.Nobody in the premier charges £20 for away fans.

That's the kind of excuse my old man used to give for Walsall's paltry gates.The weather may have put a few off too. Had forecast thunder and lightning and potential downpours.

What...do you take it in turns or is there a continual brawl over who gets to steer?We do. 4 of us drive up from Hampshire for every home game. Do 80% of away games too. And before anybody asks, I'm not putting forward a case for supporter of the year, just responding to the post.
Radical thinking but how about going two hours without eating if the pies are so expensive.They were moaning on facebook about it being 29 quid for a ticket and a pie.
It is but that's not the fault of CCFC and / or SISU. And given are lack of access to revenue streams we're not really in a position to be leading the charge on this.Pretty crap to be honest but let's face it football is waaaaay overpriced these days.
