We returned once all the court business was more or less done, so the only thing I could see accelerating a return was the dates being brought forward.

Just one last question then ...

.... If Sixfields was sold out every game, would we be back ?

I know one thing, pretending the club is dead to them and giving up support like you were doing did nothing but harm to the situation.

If the Ricoh was sold out every game would the club have ever left? Would sisu even be here?

How do you know that? Isn't the premise of the thread that it's those people who forced the move?

Couldn't agree more. Coventry is after all the city of peace and reconciliation.

I really do think those who went did not help at all and made things worse.

However that is a VERY good point Torch and a telling one you have made! I don't think anyone can counter it.

Obviously I never did and still don't agree with that hence why I had no moral dilemma in attending games at Sixfields. I don't think attending made a slightest bit of difference to the outcome or its timing. Believe me, I never would have done anything that I would have consciously thought would have made things worse, and I think that goes for most of the tiny number of people that went to Sixfields. Its all a matter of opinion and I absolutely appreciate and recognise that my opinion was in the unpopular, tiny and practically irrelevant minority. But, like you both, I completely agree that all of that must be put behind us now, it doesn't matter anymore, we can agree and be united in our support. PUSB

Which in turn takes us back full circle.

If we had better owners from the start, had we not got relegated from the prem, yes we would have had a near full house every week?IMO

Nobody should be made to feel guilty about being put in this shitty position by our owners. Those who went to support the team and the manager fair play to you, I'm sure it was genuinely appreciated during a difficult time. Everyone who protested and boycotted I'm sure you played a big part in getting us home. Can't we all just move on and be grateful we're back home?

The Coventry crowd is no less patient than any other. And anyone who suggests otherwise evidently doesn't go to many away games.....

Not me. Went to most the away games last season and only missed one this season.

Lets just forgive and forget now without asking people to respond, everyone felt like what they were doing was the right thing, we still don't know for a fact what that was despite Pressleys view, there are still alot of people on the forum attempting to continue the division (both sides) so the only way we're all going to be friends again is for as many of us as possible just to drop it.

Respond? Are we in the dock now, then?
I’m sure he’s right, that is the case. But there were roughly a thousand or so people who decided they still wanted to go and support HIM and HIS team. He stressed enough times how difficult it was for his team playing in front of such small crowds, it would have been even more difficult if even less or no one had turned up. Many berated us and told us only a return would happen if NO ONE turned up; that turned out not to be true. We returned despite the small numbers and that was always the way.
I love SP, the best manager we’ve had in years, but he can’t have it both ways.

The less who went the faster the return and it is comfirmed NOPM worked.

Yes that is what you come out with. The rubbish you write it must have felt like home at Sixfields if you went there.
