Have we sold 5000 season tickets ? (2 Viewers)

Alan Dugdales Moustache · Sep 12, 2017

...I heard Clive Eakin state this before the Carlisle game. If so it's a fantastic show of support. On the other hand it means that in a city of over 320,000 only around 900 city fans bothered to buy tickets for this particular game.
...that's less than 0.3% of the population , and doesn't include the surrounding catchment area. That's abysmal. . It just shows the effect our owners are having .

True enough. What was the excuse before SISU arrived?

skybluesam66 · Sep 13, 2017

with the weather, the opposition and champions league on TV - it was never going to be a high attendance

we need to stay in or around the top 3, and the Wembley brigade will creep back -
Fall away and get used to crowds of 5000- 6000

We've always had small crowds relative to the size of the city and surrounding catchment. Certainly since the 70s.

Why the fuck do people keep mentioning the weather in every thread about attendances. Oh its raining outside and although i spent £20 on a ticket a couple of days ago i think i'll stay at home and keep dry. Not having it, reason people don't go is because we're in division 4 and nothing to do with the fucking weather!

As low as 6000? Not since 1958 we haven't. Also in the past when did Luton and Lincoln have comparable attendances to ourselves,

That's why I said "relative".

Agree with the weather and the champions league bit. Not so much about being in Div 4. You support or you don't regardless of the league.

Exactly. I remember going in the 80's and 90's and we averaged about 8K.

And look at the averages for other sides then compared with now

Weirdly, in the six games we've played at home this season we've still attracted less than that one game at Wembley...which proves they'll turn up when they can be arsed to.

So around this time last season we played Oldham and 8,800 was the attendance. Our last Season in the championship again around this time of year we played Derby and had 14,200 attendance. If the drop is not related to the league we're in what is it? Were they hot Septembers because the champions league was still on.

Or when it's fashionable to. Coventry has always been a City full of sheep.

Away fans? Carlisle brought 40, Derby would have brought 4000?

We won 2-0.

Fair play to anybody who supports their team no matter what league they play in.

That's not a popular concept with some unfortunately.

It's just one of those unwritten rules of being a football fan. Along with you can't actually support multiple football teams, it's not how it works.

Nobody is 'sheep', for fuck's sake. Except sheep, they are.

We won 2-0 and actually did play some decent football when we got the ball down on the floor in the second half.

I'm not. If I was bothered about poor football then I wouldn't have supported CCFC since 1972, I'd be supporting someone else, so stop the glossing yourself.

We are in League 2, we don't have Messi or Ronaldo up front doing tricks. We did what we needed to to get 3 points.

If I wanted to watch pretty football I'd support somebody else.

Will you stop with the Messi and Ronaldo crap every time somebody mentions the rubbish football etc.

Why?

We won 2-0 and got 3 points and did the job required, we could have won 5-0 on another day.

Nope, Derby brought 1,427 so 13K were Cov.

We could have indeed. And on another day could have been 2-2.

Another day it could have been 0-0. We had plenty more chances than them to finish the game off, they had 2 chances all game.

Sorry if that doesn't fit into your negative, ranty bullshit approach.
