how many STH do you think city would have?

forget the sisu stuff if you can for this one thread

i think at that price point we could expect 12k season ticket holders


club needs to look at stuff like this, add in walk ups and we could have avg of 18k for most games in league one which could help spur on lads most weeks etc

they may lose money overall but if a happy fanbase and atmopshere is the result it could be worth it long term when you factor in promotions etc

probably wont happen mind but you never know.

I'd go, although I'd want the equivalent of however many games missed to be taken off too. Fair's fair.

yeh i mean as a long term thing aj,so next season too

i think many of the guys who go 10-15 games a season would pay the lil bit extra to have a full ST, thats money for the club that they wouldnt get normally.

think its worth the club guaranteeing income rather than risk earning more

look at dortmund, yes i know they are a brilliant team! but prices are like a tenner and they pack out stadium week in week out, think we could really benefit from getting ricoh rocking even it means losing out abit financially for 5-6 years.

Regardless of my views concerning our present owners if we came back to the Ricoh I would go straight out and buy two Season Tickets.

I'd get one if it was £500.

I reckon we'd get over 10k at £200 normally, but if it happened after the bollocks that's going on now it would be a couple thousand more.

I wouldn't just want one, I would NEED one. I'm all about keeping Cov in Cov, everything else is just political crap that doesn't belong in a football fans brain.

That's where I'm at. SISU OUT now at all costs, I'd risk a ticket with some other fortune seekers for a season. I've had 20 ST's now since 1992, it's not just about the cost it's about stability of the club and accountability of the finances we do have !

Definitely would get one...although I understand the thinking behind NOPM, my priority is watching my club in my home city...something that I'll be denied of doing, probably ever again, should SISU persist with this suicidal plan. Having said that if we did return I would still be as vociferous as ever in calling for these clowns to go...my resolve has been strengthened and my desire to see them do one is far greater now with what they've put us fans through over the last couple of months.

Interesting thread.

There's huge, huge potential for a football club in Coventry.

Just need a wealthy owner with transparency, passion, imagination and importantly the nouse to get the supporters on board.

Ive got no doubt that ACL would sell a stake in the Ricoh to such a man.


Just take a look at Brighton. 23,000 Season Tickets sold. The owner is a genuine football nut with the balls of a gambler (in fact he is a gambler). He's got the whole city on board a journey which they all believe will definitely secure a £90m promotion payday within the next 3 years.

Utterly pointless hypothetical. Why not say £100? why not free? Cannot keep sisu out of any thread like this, it's like saying keep bones out of a broken leg! It's not an issue of the cost, it is an issue of the current owners not investing in the team for half a decade!

Sisu have dug their heals in. They are quite prepared to make a loss for a minimum of 3 years (if their propaganda is to be believed). There is not a chance in hell they would ever offer anything like this, and even if they did I wouldn't go. It has gone beyond how much a ST costs. We have to starve out owners who are systematically destroying the club!

And please please please stop referring to scumtium as "the club". The fans and to a lesser extent the current playing squad are the club. Scumtium own the naming rights!

However new owners wouldn't think twice. I would be happy (at least comfortable) paying £400-£500 to go! It's way beyond mere ticket price now!

Not for me thank you not while SISU, OTIUM, AVRO whoever f*****g owns us within the Fisher empire. I would pay double if we had new owners. I have supported CCFC ever since I can remember and Fisher has to be the most loathed person in that period for me, I would even welcome Craig Bellamy back if it meant the Fisher empire pissing off.

They would not lose money at £150k per annum rent as your 12000 season tickets at £200 = £2.4 million!

Need to take in outgoing costs, not just income. Players & Staff's wages take a huge chunk of any clubs income!
Don't forget FIFA FAIR PLAY RULES, FL clubs can only spend 60% of 'GROSS' income on 'players wages, transfers & associated costs! PUSB!

To answer OP, we'd get 7-8k, more with a new owner bump perhaps.

Until a certain point football tickets aren't really price sensitive. There's lots more to do on community involvement and match day experience that would bring in fans. The only place Id play with price is kids tickets. I'd go as far as under 12s free, under 18s £5. Get em in young, they'll pay within reason when they're old and addicted. :D

Speaking of addiction, pipe in miniscule amounts of heroin during games and when people aren't there they'll be itching to get back without realising why.

I assumed they've been doing this since the late 90s anyway.

Funny that, everyone would be fighting themselves to buy a £200 season ticket - last year you could have bought one for £253 AND spread the payments over 8 months interest free. We couldn't get over 6,000 to buy last year- nothing to do with SISU but a rejection of wanting to watch League One football.

Thats fair enough I suppose but the cost is NO reason to have ever bought a ST at Coventry so I dont think its a valid argument. They have (since the first year at the Ricoh fiasco when they were all the same price anywhere in the ground) always been competitively priced with a finance scheme open to all

It sounds a valid point except most of the reduction in season ticket sales WAS because SISU were the owners.

That has been the case in league 2 for years (certainly it was the case in 2007). If you aim at a £2 million wage budget you need £3.333 million turnover, so £2.4 million in season tickets, plus around £1 million in one off ticket sales you have your FFP budget, without adding Sponsorship, Corporate and any access that might be granted to F&B. The only item that seems to be generating a problem is the huge management fee that SISU keep allocating themselves.
