Last night was the lowest home crowd in Coventry since 1962 (1 Viewer)

skybluebeduff · Feb 11, 2015

When 5965 saw 1-1 against Bristol City.

I can see us having lesser crowds as the season draws to it's conclusion.

After every game it takes me at least 2 days to pick my spirit up again, just for it to be shot straight back down.

Not a bad remix that. Not heard it before.

Wow, in that case the situation is even worse that OP said.

skybluelee · Feb 11, 2015

We also got 1,500-odd v Millwall in the FMC in 1985. The OP is clearly talking about league crowds, however.

He supposed to be a CCFC historian too, either way the situation is bleak isn't it.

mrbluesky87 · Feb 11, 2015

and while not wanting to get in to arguments about the actual official attendance I know of 12 season ticket holders inc myself who did not attend last night but we know these are counted in to the figures.

Does anyone who was there last night want to hazard a guess as to the actual attendance? I fear it is worse than it actually is and we may already be down to around 5,500???

Kanye West is ridiculously talented. He's a dickhead too, but that's part of the fun.

There were huge gaps in the middle of the normally full block 20 so I would say you can take another 1000 off the official total.

Blame Kanye West!

Yeah....talentless was a bad choice of insult.....especially as there are so so many insults to choose for this narcissistic whopper......

he is every kinda c**t rolled in to one.....and about as "street" as Una Stubbs.

I think I was at all of them bar the millwall game. A couple of classics there too. I remember being stood on the mop in the pouring rain when billing got sent off v Wimbledon. I think that would have been the 89/90 one. Chester was when cyrille scored 5 and we won 7-2 (7-1?) I think.

What is it with people who sit on the fence when it comes to their views on people ...

Como · Feb 11, 2015

Begs the question when did season tickets become popular? We just used to pay at the turnstile.

rob9872 · Feb 11, 2015

I think when we were the main source of income before tv rights sponsorship shirt deals etc. It was a discount for us and helped the club know their budget for the season ahead to plan better. I had my first in the early 80s but know my cousins did from 70s
