I've been a ST holder for nearly 30 years and I won't go to a single home game that's played outside the City. Whether the poll is scientific or not it suggests people are at least understanding the significance of the club remaining in Coventry. Any other outcome would probably be the death of the club.
I think it's when they ask the question to a group of mice first.
It's not rocket science for the club to contact every season ticket holder by e-mail, phone or otherwise, and ask the straightforward question. No need for a sample poll when the total sample size is relatively small anyway.
OK then let us do a poll on this forum if someone could set it up.
"Would any current SB-Talk season ticket holder be renewing their Season Ticket if CCFC move to another ground next season".
Surely with over 4,000 SB Talk forum members we could get a realistic poll ???

I'd love to know what is considered a 'scientific' poll as it goes. Don't have many of them going in the lab.
I don't think it would make a jot of difference. They probably only care about ego & money...supporters? "If we build a successful team - they'll come back...or we'll win new ones" is likely the attitude. Look at MK Dons...they're on the general ascendency. Support will grow with success & time among the locals. They do not really care about those they left behind in South London - SISU would be looking to that as a model I would expect.

There were 6500 season ticket holders last season so by your calculations we should have had an average crowd of over 20000 not the 11/12000 we had
I don't think the football league would let them do it Bazza. As the CT article points out, Rotherham only moved 4 miles down the road to the Don Valley Stadium and still had to provide a valid excuse and return within 4 years.
"We can't agree rent (They won't let us steal the stadium)" won't stand up.
I hope you're right...but then again those rational thinkers at the top can always be relied upon can't they? They can can't they???
What, like all the WFC fans who don't travel with their team every other saturday could have saturation football.Or as they're in the same conurbation, maybe a few thousand disgruntled Wolverhampton Wanderers fans may change allegience in protest at the appalling way their club has been run in the Boardroom.:thinking about:
Yeah right- such is the fickleness of football fans. Would you be saying the same thing if another local team came to ground share at the Reek-o...? Let's face it, in the Midlands you either watch your own team, or pay to see quality at West Brom or Villa.
Assuming the attendance will be bolstered by picking up more fans through a groundshare is SISU talk....
You mean it doesn't fit with your opinion so I must be a "SISU lover" or mouthpiece or I'm somehow stupid because I have been taken in?...How sad
It is my opinion that the crowds will drop but probably not to the levels that some suggest - partly because of picking up some new fans from the locality of wherever it is we might end up playing.
tbf who knows what we'd get out of any deal. Plenty of car parking revenue to be had from Nene Park, no other bloody way to get there!
Although I think the club would probably agree it'd be lower gates and revenues than staying at the Ricoh. Their argument would be short term pain, long term gain.

I hope you're playing devil's advocate rather than actually believing that.
What do you reckon the club's argument would be then?
I don't doubt that that's what they'd say, but do you think that it could be justified on such a basis?
Did I give my opinion in any way in my statement?
If it were, genuinely, for long term gain it'd be a good thing.
It's been good for Rotherham after all.
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same
We will still have to pay rent, we still won't get the revenues we're refusing to have cross invoiced over to us, and we'll get none of the car parking or matchday sponsorship which we get in half and in full at present.

WHilst I don't doubt the strength of feeling, bear in mind that this was on the telegraph's website, and there is a fundamental flaw with all these polls. The trols on there sussed out a while ago, you can turn off cookies and make multiple votes!
So the only way to know for sure is to see how many actually turn up!
Telegraph long ago lost any resemblance to what the actual fans think!
