but the question is why have so many fans left??? there are many answers to this lack of results no investment in the team miss in trust owners, global recession, apathy, perhaps fans have had enough of over paid players not giving a fook about their club :thinking about::thinking about: there is no right or wrong answer
This part of the article is so true. The missing investors. And not just this season but for at least the past 20 seasons.
"But Coventry City’s fans cannot remain blameless for their club’s financial demise. Our average attendance when Sisu took over was 19,000. It’s now down to 15,000. That 4,000 drop in attendance equates to around £150,000 in lost revenue per month, or £1.8 million per year. In comparison, both Norwich and Southampton managed to maintain attendances of over 20,000 even when they dropped to down to League One. City fans can moan all they like about the owners, but if we were getting that kind of attendance every week then things might be very different."
I think they would get higher attendances if they dropped prices a little. Surely better for everyone if tickets were less but attendances higher.
It's always frustrating when people cite Norwich as an example of high attendances-it's the only league club for a 40 mile radius, so they can draw upon unrivalled support over a huge area. Southampton have Pompey as the only real close league club too. As for ourselves, we have Wolves, WBA, Villa, Birmingham, Leicester, and (a bit further away admittedly), Forest and Derby. All clubs are of a similar or greater stature, and we're right in the middle trying to compete with all of them for fans-provided no sign of success for decades, and with so many competing clubs nearby, is it any wonder we struggle for good crowds?
If any other club had such a prolonged lack of success over a ridiculous timeframe as CCFC has, then I doubt these clubs would be getting more than 15-20k a week either.

I would go for £15 adults with £10 for under 18's , I don't know the price for JSB's as i don't know what they pay now and i can't be bothered to o]go on the main site to check.
With season tickets I would start again and start a loyalty scheme that if you keep buying year in year out you'll get a loyalty discount that rises say to 15 % off the price in year 3/4. You need to make the price in the first place affordable, and indicative of the current financial climate whatever that is at the time.
The hardest thing is to sell that first year season ticket, then make it hard for them to give it up if it means losing this loyalty bonus.

Birmingha still struggle to get that now. Now their fans really are a joke.
Agree with these prices. Would make it a slightly cheaper day out, particularly for families. Club wouldn't lose out as more would go.
