it would be great if ppl would start coming to the games we aint playing that badly atm and having low attendances is making other team fans laugh at us. I know we aint the worst supported club in the championship and the fans that were there on tue were really loud and outsung the cardiff lot most of the time. It would be great if the staff at the club would do something to get the fans in and for the team to play there hearts out when there is alot of fans there. So lets get behind the team and sing our hearts out and maybe we will do better this season then last.
yeah thats true we always get lots of fans when we r playing top teams like the 13000 fans that went to man utd i bet half of them dont go to most of the games. Im a season ticket holder and i love going to games i sometimes take my 15 month old son to some home games im taking him this sat im bringing him up to be a cov supporter as i think we need more fans lol
I think the attendance argument is a healthy one to have. It is inevitable that fans will return when you are doing well and this will cause some resentment among regular match goers.
We are lucky, though, that we support a team from a one club city - this means that success or not, hasn't stopped the football club being the centre of the community and football fans conversations down the pub or wherever. It is highly unlikely that these people have gone watching other teams - they are STILL Coventry fans but have different priorities on which to spend there disposable income.
Of course, there will be exceptions, but I am pretty confident that 95% of Coventrians wish the team to do well every season. Whether they return to watch games or not is another question.
What I always think (daydream) about is thinking about whether we made it to Wembley, most likley through the playoffs - the City would be overcome with excitement. We wouldn't gain any new fans necessarily, but all the dormant fans would come alive.
What Cov fan in thier right mind wouldn't welcome this again, wouldn't welcome Broadgate having 150,000 people crammed in the day after the victory??
In '87 we didn't have 50,000+ fans at Highfield Rd, but we took that to Wembley, who cares now if this was the only game that half of that number attended that season.
When Blackpool scored that first home goal in the Premier League this season and sheer ecstasy broke out in the stands - do you think that the 2009 season ticket holders were looking aroung pointing,"saying you shouldn't be cheering, you wern't here last year"!
No they bloody were not, they were just hugging each other as if it was the best few seconds of thier life!
We should be grateful that we are a Sky Blue loving city, every Coventrian is - it's just that some will supress it, until that deep in-built passion, that has always been there, is reawoken in them!
I for one would welcome these fans back with open arms!
