That's probably because both games were awful.
That's probably because both games were awful.I don't think they're a reliable yardstick. Attendance dropped 16K for the game after Gillingham.

Both Wasps and CCFC can exist at the Ricoh.If I was a potential owner, and not wearing sky blue glasses, I'd be more concerned about the passive nature of the fans towards a franchise rugby club moving into their city. Also, as a club we are not renowned for bringing in crowds of 28k.
It shows that it's all about the football.Well they were but that doesn't explain a 16k drop from one home game to the next.

The Gillingham game was all about the occasion.

cant believe 26k cunts went to watch wasps on christmass eve
If they were in the PL they would be fine. Extra income and leverage on Wasps (Subject to Sisu being able to negotiate one).CCFC will certainly only "exist" with Wasps there. Never prosper.

However, like all other average teams that get there we need a sugar daddy.
Does he exits ? Well he might do but we will never know as we are not for sale until we reach the top of the cycle which is the PL.
Until Sisu release the club at a fair price we are fukced !!
They are willing to give tickets away go get the support up to a level that gives the team confidence every game .cant believe 26k cunts went to watch wasps on christmass eve
To prove the support is still there before we lose people for good.We know the potential support is there, so do SISU, so does Tim Fisher. This idea has been banded about before. How on earth are you going to persuade another 10,000 plus to go to a game as a one off and to prove what exactly ?
No, actually circa late 2016.............Tea!Been on the sweet sherry again?
You ought to go we could do with a leader.cant believe 26k cunts went to watch wasps on christmass eve
As has been said before... How can you "Name and Shame" a "PSEUDONYM"People buying season tickets next season are being named and shamed on this forum

It's a very, very valid point.As has been said before... How can you "Name and Shame" a "PSEUDONYM"

Great. Thanks for that. What's your next thread going to be about?
People don't go if they don't want to.
People eat when they are hungry.
People get into a car when they want to go somewhere.
Your posts are becoming more and more insightful all the time. Keep up the good work.
As has been said before... How can you "Name and Shame" a "PSEUDONYM"
You really are "Thick as shit" aren't you!Weren't you threatening someone with libel action regarding yours the other day?
The point is they people actually go not with some grandiose sub plot to support and financially aid sisu but for a simple desire to continue supporting a team that play football.
The age actually is irrelevant. People on here think Juggy as an example talks a lot of sense and certainly is no fan of Tim Fisher. He will continue.
On that basis we know there will always be a hard core of supporters and we know therefore the club will always adjust budgets accordingly.
People banging on about being named for non attendance are missing the point completely. Non attendance will always increase as the product becomes less and less attractive. It will never completely eradicate though.

As a businessman you should and I will hazard a guess do know (but don't want to admit it). Everything has a cut off point.
A price that if it is offered, the club will be sold at.
A price if it is offered a player will be sold for.
A price if offered the academy will be sold for.
There is also a cut off where decreasing attendances start to become too costly both in terms of running the club and the value of the club in an administration process.
We will reach this point, the question is when.
As more and more people decide to no longer attend for whatever reason that point approaches quickly.
Also people have their own cut off points for attending. They are and always will be supporters of the club and they will return but they just reached their threshold.
Your OP named and shamed people then you moaned about the outrage of naming and shaming people.
Your OP for myself incorrectly suggested I am having a go at people. I never have. Yet ironically you were having a go at people.
The whole thread has been a farce for you and I would think carefully before starting anymore and I wouldn't post in here much more as it keeps bringing it to the top of the pile.
To prove the support is still there before we lose people for good.
And yes, we have had big crowds before, but for big occasions and for when the ticket price has been really low.
We have never had 20,000 plus for a meaningless game against a non mouthwatering opposition at full price.
That is what would make this different and that is what would make this stand out.
It would also be very telling because there would be massive decrease in ST take-up, but then an incredible surge in sales for one meaningless game.
Shame people are dismissing this so readily and easily.
It would work and would bring press coverage. Why out of the blue have Coventry City suddenly got a nearly full house for a non glamorous league game!
Fill the stands with banners too and tshirts and posters.
Weren't you likening posters on this forum to Nazi murderers of innocent Jewish people in concentration camps?Weren't you threatening someone with libel action regarding yours the other day?
Just curious & wasn't sure where to post this. As it's titled Home is where the heart is..... Someone mentioned wasps signage....i flicked to twitter & there's a picture of the ricoh. How long will it be until the seats are replaced with black & yellow, & sky blues is replaced with wasps? It surely has to go that way one day... How depressing...

The point is that 'most' people go for the product. There will always be a hardcore support that will turn up regardless.The point is they people actually go not with some grandiose sub plot to support and financially aid sisu but for a simple desire to continue supporting a team that play football.

It was normal service DURING the festive period!Festive period's over, we're all back to bickering, finger-pointing and encouraging meltdowns. Normal service is resumed. Great thread, by the way, not inflammatory at all.
i observe a growing unity from certain posters on here with the fringe mentality on the CT site.
Namely, there is a growing view they purchasing season tickets is a way to put money into the owners and to support the owners. We are told we need to be aware of our actions and that by taking the action of purchasing a ticket we are keeping sisu here.
Sadly outside of this bubble there lived a lot more normality towards watching football matches.
This season I sit next to a rather engaging couple in their 80's who've supported the club for as long as they can remember. They are very engaging and very much ccfc fans. Also near to me is a chap who is also in his 80's - looks younger - who gets dropped off and picked up by one of his children every game.
These supporters are going to renew next season - well as one of the couple said "as long as we are not dead"
The other elderly chap says it's his day out.
I've never really engaged in a conversation with them about sisu. They wouldn't, I suspect, be interested. Perhaps next Monday I should tell them there are people who are called "Covfan" "Dongonzalos" and "gosford green" who believe they are wrong to renew and they should think of the long term and at least need to know what they are doing. I suspect they'd think I'd lost my mind and ask if I wasn't feeling well.
The point is most people out of here don't think endlessly about NOPM, the principals and the thought of paying for Joy Seppalla's new handbag. Oddly they just want to spend 90 minutes watching a game of football.
No politics, no ulterior motive, no feeding a hedge fund. Just a continual enjoyment of the simple game.
Something I think some in here should take heed from.

And that's the job of any owner, too do their level bestYes that's true. Fans will turn up for an occasion, but the rest of the time?
