Correct but they havent had to put up with the shit we have.
Sorry but Northampton and Brum has lost us a lot of fans that will never return, none of my mates even take an interest anymore such a shame.
Need to be a more stable club to keep building, hopefully that with a bit more excitement on the pitch will keep pushing us upwards.Just need to create a new generation, personally speaking I've been surprised by the number of kids at school who go to games and take an interest. A group of people growing up during the club's renaissance rather than the desperate shite of before

Well I pushed my kids to support City I wouldnt allow any other English clubs shirts in my house full City kit or nothing.I agree, but you’d be surprised at how many school kids are into City games even during the 16/17 season. There’s definitely an opportunity to get a generation hooked
I know people like that, they still went to Wembley though, just excuses in my opinion!Correct but they havent had to put up with the shit we have.

Don’t disagree with you on the away support- however our home support is often shocking quite frankly (and has been for decades). I go to as many home games as I can (including @ SA) given family and work commitments and the fact that I now live 70 odd miles from Coventry.Doesn't the first bit contradict the second bit? I've followed the club for a similar era and I think we have steadily built up a more regular away following (as your first point suggested) Some of this has been aided by a lot of positive work between supporters' groups and the club. aided by recent relative success.
Are they reasons or excuses when we are returning? I think excuses personallyMoving us to Northampton and then again to Birmingham has cut our home support at a stroke. It will build up again but it takes time and will depend on results on the field.
Getting them in early!Are they reasons or excuses when we are returning? I think excuses personally
Apologies if this has been covered before, but If I buy a Ricoh Return Phase 2 membership for myself & 2 others, will we be entitled to a refund should government restrictions not allow us to attend games?

The ones I know didnt even watch our Wembley trips on the tele, we used to go to all the games together there was a minimum of 6 now only me left.I know people like that, they still went to Wembley though, just excuses in my opinion!

Blaming fans? Hope I’m not. No one I know is saying it did us no harm as that would be madness. I suppose one could argue it didn’t affect our on the field success as to argue we haven’t been successful over the last 4 years would be madness too. However to use the fact that we played away from coventry for 2 years as a reason not to go in coventry doesn’t make much sense to me eitherThe real excuse is blaming fans and making out that Northampton and then Brum did us no harm.
The pandemic hasnt helped. I havent been to the pub for nearly a year used to go every weekend.
Dont really miss it anymore will just pick and choose when to go now.
I am saying people gave up because of it maybe they weren't die hard but our club has been badly run for a long time people just had enough, that is what I'm saying, 2 years is a long time.Blaming fans?

Pusb - new era next season let’s hope we continue to progress and attract those fans backI am saying people gave up because of it maybe they weren't die hard but our club has been badly run for a long time people just had enough, that is what I'm saying, 2 years is a long time.
I had a ST this year but only watched 2 games live, missed a couple due to not knowing the start times that's unheard of.
I could have stayed away getting used to not going even though I love it, another season at Brum and I would have (Wouldnt have renewed my ST) only being honest if that makes me a shit fan then so be it.
Luckily I still know loads that go so Wembley tickets wouldnt have been a problem.
PUSB.
So openly admitting you would go for the glory day to Wembley over actually putting money in to the club? Fully respect the choice not to go to Birmingham but you lose credibility if you then go to the big day out at Wembley.I am saying people gave up because of it maybe they weren't die hard but our club has been badly run for a long time people just had enough, that is what I'm saying, 2 years is a long time.

My daughter is now 30 and my son 25 both still take an interest.
Hopefully My grandchildren when they arrive will be the same, one due in November, fortunately they live in Manchester so not a lot of competition.
6-8k more like.Don’t disagree with you on the away support- however our home support is often shocking quite frankly (and has been for decades). I go to as many home games as I can (including @ SA) given family and work commitments and the fact that I now live 70 odd miles from Coventry.
Where are the people of Coventry when it comes to regularly supporting the team? I remember a few years ago an important evening home game v Lincoln when they won and brought 3k plus supporters and they made it like a home game. . I travelled from Swindon after work for the best part of 2 hours to be there but where were the ‘fans’ who lived in Cov? The Notts County home leg of the play offs was the same - probably the most important game for years and so few of us there, Compare that to the Crewe game a few years earlier when a trip to Wembley was on the cards ( a game I couldn’t get a ticket for).
When we played Blues in the Cup recently I couldn’t get a ticket despite going to 6 or 7 ‘home’ games before then, because I wasn’t a season ticket holder and yet they could get 6 (?) tickets for themselves and their bandwagon mates. Those very same people then complain about our bandwagon support!
We have a hardcore support of probably 8-12 k people and it’s been that way for decades.
What do people reckon we need as an average to have a half decent atmosphere? Not raising the roof, but not cemetery either.
15k do it?
Wow so they went from being fans of the club and attending games now and again to i can't be bothered to watch them for free!!? What they into now train spotting, drugs or they family aka the wife comes first types?The ones I know didnt even watch our Wembley trips on the tele, we used to go to all the games together there was a minimum of 6 now only me left.

Wow. Getting criticism for putting your wife and family before football......Wow so they went from being fans of the club and attending games now and again to i can't be bothered to watch them for free!!? What they into now train spotting, drugs or they family aka the wife comes first types?
Separately we do need to get into the community more and make sure the 10-20yo group are up at the ground every other week. A 70% full stadium and the atmosphere winning games creates would do that.
