So do you believe that under the current status quo we'll retain more season ticket holders than we'll lose with or without league one survival?
The OP doesn't name and shame anybody. The point is posters like you are operate in a microcosm that means nothing to the majority.
If you want to attract the likes of Covman to your argument be my guest.
As for the last statements I'd think the last person I would take advice from regarding farcical threads is from someone who made such beauties as proud of the council, proud of acl and the all time classic - West Ham would be storming the league if they replaced Allardyce with Andy Thorn
Leicester by any chance when the ground is full of visiting supporters? Not sure I'd be boasting about away fans filling the ground.Can't be the next game though. It's a full house.
So let the old people enjoy the game, whilst the other generations desert the club because of the ownership? sounds like people just want to watch the inevitable death with no regard to a legacy of new fans, who are the the future.
Answer me this, should children still attend games whilst SISU remain and the atmosphere is forever toxic because of them?
cant miss those felt tip pens!

Hang on a minute Grenduffy You said it yourself that children were crying at the Sheff Utd game, yet think these same children should be a part of this toxicity among fans (Allegedly)Of course children should attend games - they are the future.

Again, you completely miss the point.
Skybluebeduff asks Grenduffy... "Answer me this, should children still attend games whilst SISU remain and the atmosphere is forever toxic because of them?"
And you think I've missed the point! Read the fooking post properly Nick ffs!
First couple of seasons in a new stadium (an occasion). Every club has an increase in attendance's when they move to a new ground , it then started to drop off back to the Highfield road championshiop norm.Our gate average for 2005-2006 was 21.5k
for 2006-2007 was 20.5k
for 2007-2008 was 19.5k So it's not impossible to achieve these figures and higher once Shitsu fook off Otis

My brother in law didn't even support cov and he had got a season ticket for 3 seasons when we first moved in to the Ricoh. Never been back since.
Plus most away crowds were larger than average as people 'ticked off' a new ground off their list.
I'm not being pedantic but I don't think we can use them as a yardstick of potential, I'd say they were as much off thr back of an occasion as a one off game like thr JPT and Gillingham games.

Thr gates were going down well before sisu started selling dann and fox, in fact gates didn't increase despite the new optimism and investment when sisu arrived.By the time SISU were going into their second season as owners, people began to see what they were about and gates dropped because of lack of investment(Decent investment) Remortgaging Ryton, and selling Dann and Fox set alarm bells ringing stupot07 or did it take a little longer for you to realise?.... Btw, did you ever ask him why after 3 seasons of ever decreasing gates he stopped going? Maybe it was he could see what was going on that perhaps you didn't.

No, I think that's plenty!lol any more caveats?
No I don't see where I have suggested that to be the case.
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...

It's a fair point. Not on the long term deal issue, but on that of our insistence we move away.This is why we need to get a long term deal.
Once we commit, options like seats, shops, offices, sponsorship, flags, changing rooms etc can come into the equation.
Can't really moan if we keep saying we are going elsewhere in 3 years time.
Bollocks. Wasps won't and don't need to concede on any of those points, they have thr monopoly on stadiums and we have no bargaining chips, wasps also have a £4m black hole to fill, we never got any of the Ricoh sponsorship its is very unlikely we'll get any of thr new deal even if we committed for 10+ years.This is why we need to get a long term deal.

It's not for sale so why would they?We aren't in the Premier League and there is no Sugar Daddy. If there was somebody willing to throw hundreds of millions at us, I am pretty sure he would have phoned SISU up with an offer they would snap his hand off at.
Thats what happens in Rugby. If there is a game on people come to watch if there team is not playing.Leicester by any chance when the ground is full of visiting supporters? Not sure I'd be boasting about away fans filling the ground.
We will never know with the idiots at Sisu in charge.Bollocks.

Great atmosphere at the kids party in fairness.
I didn't take mine last game because of the protest, she isn't going to miss out again because of it, especially not it if it is a Saturday game with the JSB stuff.
Like sing "Your support is fucking shit"I haven't missed the point. Children should still go to football, of course they should. Unless we shouldn't take them because of other fans?
Maybe people should think about whether they are going to scare and upset others around them before they do things?

It looks like Tim only needs a few fans swanning around him at matches and on the train home to make him believe it is bollocks.
Sorry I don't get your point

So the only game that sells out is Leicester who just happen to be a few miles down the road and average well over 20K, substantially more than Wasps, but its not full because of Leicester fans just people who fancy watching a game.Thats what happens in Rugby. If there is a game on people come to watch if there team is not playing.
It's strangely not tribal.
Our gate average for 2005-2006 was 21.5k
for 2006-2007 was 20.5k
for 2007-2008 was 19.5k
Less than 2 thousand over nearly 4 years..... Yes they were leaving in their droves weren't they!
That's where Ranson's plan was horribly wrong. He thought new owners coming in and investing in the team would lead to a rise in attendances but all those who were shouting they wouldn't go back until there was an ownership change didn't go back when there was. Attendances continued to drop and his plan was never going to work.We lost 4k (c20%) before sisu changed their strategy and started to sell
Do you really believe this rubbish you come out with?
Oh dear not the 3 wise monkeys Grendull, Nick and 'Labour' Torch acting the super fan martyr again. LMAO
I'm not sure those old boys spent years and 10000,'s of posts like you twats defending the owners who are destroying our club (and laughing about it), or attacking anyone that try to take them on.
Your hypocrisy is sickening.
.....We have lost people for good as long as SISU are in charge. That's why we won't get anywhere near 20,000 for a nothing event. I wish we could .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.
