Hypothetical Question just a bit if fun (1 Viewer)

[stupot07]

Just a little thought for you. Nuneaton has a population of 81 thousand people. Approximately one percent of them go to Nuneaton matches.
Three percent of coventry's population attend matches.
Do you think the other 2 percent of football fans from Nuneaton sit at home twiddling their fingers or are they elsewhere?

3% of cov residents go to the Ricoh (9k of 10.5k average attendance)? No chance.

10k of 310k

 

[dongonzalos]

It's not 3% though as many fans live in surrounding areas.

Your calculation is far too simple.

Yes good point say 2.5%

 

[stupot07]

10k of 310k

So all 10k that went regular this season live in Coventry?

 

[stupot07]

Oh and the other 2% in Nuneaton go and watch to villa, blues, west Brom, Leicester.

No my oversight hence the 2.5 percent guesstimate

Do they?.......

33 miles West Brom to Nuneaton, I don my hat to them.

 

[stupot07]

Do they?.......

Yep, I know quite a few season ticket holders that go and watch those teams.

 

[dongonzalos]

21 miles and 40 minutes to Leicester.

Committed fans to say the least

They're plenty of cov fans that travel from London, Somerset, greater Manchester, etc to watch us every other week.

24 moles to villa park.

You know quite a few season ticket holders in Nuneaton of West Brom Villa and Leicester.

Do you know any Cov ones?

5 miles 10 minutes

A few, but not loads.

In fact I work in cov, and there's about 45 people in my office and theres only 2 of us that support cov and im the only one that goes to games regularly.

I knew SISU were devious but sending spies to the Villa seems a little OTT.

That genuinely surprises me. How many of the 45 don't support any team?

 

[skybluelee]

I would say that almost everybody in my dept regard the two local non league sides (Weymouth and Dorchester) as at least their 2nd teams.

How many of the 45 have any fondness for Cov, ie would they turn if we were doing well?

The people of Coventry irritate me beyond belief. Even when in the top flight nobody gave a shit. Very depressing.

 

[stupot07]

To answer both your questions Lee -

There's 5-6 of us that like football, the rest have no interest in football a few of which are into the rugby, speedway or ice hockey.

Apart from the 2 of us cov fans (the other struggles financially) I don't think any of the others would go if we were doing well.
