you are in a different planet to the majority I think! Fans have been staying away because they didn't want to give sisu any more money. If we filled the ground every week they still would not have invested in the team.
Fantastic.... Thanks very much sisu, br, robinson.... The lot (1 Viewer)

Its not just that they didn't want to give SISU any money, you also have to look at the city... In Coventry alone we've the speedway team thats winning aswell as the ice hockey team. If you're given a choice between watching pathetic football and giving money to faceless owners for pretty much no thanks/nothing returned (i'm looking at you chelski in the cup), or going to somewhere else/not spending it, most people will always pick the latter.
Whenever we have had good crowds up there, the players have bottled it. Most likely due to the pressure because its never been expected of their abilities.
When we first moved to the arena we had decent crowds, not achievement breaking but fairly decent. Since then we haven't ever really invested in the team and bar maybe one or two stand out players who were in the twilight of their playing time (Dennis Wise), we've not had much to cheer about.. So as someone said, to still be getting 15K in person is a pretty good thing.

Now, this I don't get. I don't care how successful Coventry ice hockey or speedway teams are. I'd never see them instead because I like to watch football, not those sports. So, for me, there is a choice of one. My football team.
And you watch what happens if we manage to get a big team in the Cup at home next season. The place will be overflowing.

This season only three League 1 teams averaged more than 15,000 - the 2 Sheffield clubs + Charlton. Their good gates are not surprising really given that they are at the top of the league. Even if we average only 8,500 in League 1 next year that will still give us the 6th highest attendance based on this year's figures. But will we finish in the top 6? No chance, as long as SISU are around.

Well said. Infact if you look at our finishes since 2001 our attendences have always been higher than our league position. The team owe the fans on this one, not the other way round.

as far as i am concerned, i have spoken to so many, & they confirm & express the opinion that sisu have driven thousands of fans away from our club with their obdurate, miserly, ill-informed, dire operating & savage mis-management,
and yes there was a lot of previous with owners before them,
but this lot care not one jot for ccfc

Last season was the first that nobody in the family bought a season ticket for since the war. Division 4 was more appealing than SISU-what a damning indictment.
