You must fuckin love it now then.
Funny how people say we could never get full houses, what about all these glory hunters that are mentioned every other day on here, wouldnt they want to come along if we were successful or is that just another myth.
I honestly believe that's me in the short trousers and pop bottle! (left foreground).... Edit: Actually, no, it can't be me. I was 14 at the time and wouldn't have been in short trousers!
Never say never

I was at the Spion Kop end. Sat on the edge of the pitch by the old white wall!
It was you Houch you hit the Wolves player with your R.Whites lemonade bottle !I honestly believe that's me in the short trousers and pop bottle! (left foreground).... Edit: Actually, no, it can't be me. I was 14 at the time and wouldn't have been in short trousers!
They only turn out if we are playing Crewe, oh the glory, all that really proves is
Just what a baron success starved existence it is. Following City.
Any news on that bird on the Sisu desk? Oh you fighter Im starting to appreciate birds who like to have a drink and a poke! Dont tell my hen tho!:woot:
Well you'll have to ban me then, because I was one of them.
If only the kids of today had the excitement that we had back then .
Just spoke to Tim Fisher and he is going to ban everybody with the retrospective action unless they turn up in the same outfit they had on then and with the same hairline.
Never say never
I was barely a twinge in my dad's y-fronts on this day, but I can truly say, we'll never see a day like this for a while.
As for Villa's 'bostin' crowd, couldn't care less - nothing to do with bitterness, I just cannot give a solitary turd about anything but CCFC.
I got barred from Woolies in town for talking to the mannequins.
It wasn't just the talking Otis...it was the fact you were getting yourself off while talking dirty to them!
...onwards & upwards PUSB
I don't think people write off our potential but........
(Then writes off our potential)
Aren't average crowds (and the city's population) bigger now? (Genuine question I thought they were)
27k is easily achievable with owners who have a desire for success and the means and ability to get us to the premier league
They are indeed.
If we had a bit of success and got into the Premier we would easily get 25,000+ for Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Villa if they get back there, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs. West Brom too perhaps.
As has been said eleventy billion times, we have had almost 20 years of a never-ending downward spiral with nothing at all to celebrate.
Easy to dismiss attendances based on that, but we have to consider what they would be with a successful, higher profile Coventry City FC on the field.
It doesn't pain you Bob, you're always popping up Leicester stuff too.
Yeah circa 25K would be great. I was saying i doubt we would ever average 40K again.
We never did average 40k but got a fair few 40k crowds.
My mistake. I still don't think we'd get over 40K. We couldn't anyway if we stayed at the Ricoh and certainly won't if we move. I reckon Wasps and other distractions have scuppered any chance of big crowds on a regular basis.
Yep. Its all Wasps fault.
Stopped us buying into ACL.
If they had not come here CCC would have given us the stadium by now.
True, but they would probably have given it to new owners. New owners who would be attracted to a team with a stadium available. Not now. Still, it's not all bad. You can see Top Class Rugby. Nothing else matters.
Firstly Sisu would have been the ones obtaining the stadium off CCC.
Secondly do you really think the stadium should be given to the owners of CCFC ?

Yes, I would rather SISU had it than Wasps. The chances of getting a new owner would dramatically increase. And not "given" but maybe offered the same deal as the out of town club were. Talking of which, what was the first thing Wasps did on getting the stadium? Do remind me.

The football club should most certainly have been given it over a London rugby club.
Big cup games only. Man U in the quarter final of the cup and I reckon you could get 40,000.
Biggest crowd in 5 yrs? Why didn't they get the biggest crowd in years when they were in the Premiership years then?! Voting with their feet against Lerner???
Exactly the same as us then. Cheers Bob.
