Might be the right time to support the present supporters and grow more. So many people have had spare cash but nowhere to spend it, let's give them somewhere to spend it (ccfc).
I have Cov tops but t-shirt like, that people have said they love and would buy one (scandies) if they could. The Scandie market is an easy one to hit, just make the kit/T-Shirt etc to normal casual wear and they will buy it. They seem to like things quite basic but with a club to follow. I've changed a couple from Arsenal to Cov as they love my tops and want one.

I only found this out as one stopped me and noticed the Hummel stripes
First thing she said was, your top is Hummel, it gives us money back and shows how creative we are.

So use Hummel as Scandies are pround people, they see the Hummel logo and follow it.
A market for us to tap in to?

Maybe someone with a legal background could answer this, but is there anything legally that would stop Coventry city setting up a seperate transfer kitty, comprising of £10 a month incentivised payments from fans? I would happily sign up to a transfer fund where we could track the "pot" so to speak. Sounds simple but I'm assuming there is a reason they don't do it. Would it be simply the owners wouldn't want their transfer budget publicly available?

Thinking out of the box there...But my guess is that the owners would want the profit if they sold on as they develop them, pay the wages and keep them in tip-top condition. I suppose we are talking syndicate? Neigh, not for me anyway.

That doesn't really make sense. You just said we have trouble selling season tickets, but we've sold out 8,000 which is the max available at the minute and the highest in 10 years.

You then say there will be more in the future...so you're disappointed we haven't sold tickets that aren't yet available? Interesting

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. Yes our first allocation of 8000 have sold.
People are talking of selling 16000 when the ground is fully open.
So I meant let’s see how many more we sell above 8000.
Fans say we are a big club , I think when we can sell close to 20000 season tickets we can then call ourselves a big club.

I assume that a 'Scandie' is someone from Scandinavia.

This is ludicrous. There’s Premier League clubs without 20k ST holders. Leicester only have 23k!

We would struggle to sell 20,000 if we were a Premier League club. Can attract big support for one off game but in general its underwhelming. Just the way it is, no point beating yourself up over it.

In Cities of 300,000 + ? And 23,000 is 3000 more than 20,000 .How many do Norwich sell ?
Where season tickets are concerned we sell Jack shit. We are dancing for joy when we hit 10,000 .
But hey never mind 40,000 will turn up at Wembley, so we are a big club.

Some of them are London clubs, so yes.

Honestly your expectations are miles off reality. 10k in the Championship would be a good return for a club in our position. 20k requires years above the level we’ve been at the last decade.

Have you known it to be different? I don’t think you’ll find many who think we’re a well supported club tbh.

Fans won't give their own money ontop of what they already give ...when you have owners worth millions

There are lots who think we are a well supported club,and shout about it. We need home fans to boost our income, and hopefully increase the budget.
Just frustrated listening to fans saying we will follow city anywhere, as long as it’s not the Ricoh

Haven’t read the whole thread so sorry if someone’s mentioned this.

Was talking to my mate the other night. He’s a Dundee Utd fan and they have something very similar in the Dundee Utd Supporter’s Foundation with membership a set £15/month. They get a vote on what projects the fund goes towards. Apparently the owner and manager have also signed up and things are more harmonious than they were (fans had a couple of issues with the owner including level of investment).
