if that! It would be interesting to see how many would be there if us "outsiders" stayed away.
Well it's a good job people from outside Coventry supports club or there would be only be about 5k at the Ricoh.
Your mate should support his local club like everyone else should.

Bullshit,99% of fans in there are from coventry. I bet most of you have got man u supporting mates and you take the piss out of them saying your not even from manchester. See the link?
Valiant, does that mean I should support Yeovil or Bournemouth?
I very much doubt it is that high valiant.
Depends if your originally from cov dorset. If your from coventry and move away then of course its your club.
Maybe if you bothered your arse to support racing club then they would be more successful? I bet there's people who follow them week in week out then there's people like you who. latched on to us because we were the nearest top flight club back then.
I don't live in a shithole. People like you make me sick.
'The latest reduced offer from Arena Coventry Limited (ACL) quoted at £400,000, but with the additional business rates and match day costs took the actual cost to over £800,000, shows that ACL are thankfully changing their view on the rent. They are realising that the current rental cost of £1.3 million plus £170,000 in rates are unrealistic for a Football Club now.'
This bit's all new though isn't it. The arguments raging on here have been about Sisu accepting the £400,000 offer. Not in considering the cost to actually be £800,000.
As I say, I await ACL's response.

I live in eastern green,last time i checked it was in coventry.
This thread is going downhill fast, just stop the mudslinging.
I hate it when people say "the fans own the club" or "the club belongs to the community/city" - neither is technically true, as the club is owned by SISU via its overcomplicated ownership structure. Through our support, the fans have a moral sense of "ownership" which is real enough, and it doesn't matter if you live in Coventry or California. The club is also there for the city as a whole, so if you live in Cov but don't support CCFC, you still have a right to claim them as "your club" - especially if your local taxes are going to the council and therefore you are helping to prop up ACL while CCFC chooses not to pay its rent.
To say that "you should always support your local team", in theory I should have switched alliegence between the following during my life: Muharraq FC (Bahrain), Swansea, Crewe Alex, Port Vale, Macclesfield, Man City, Macclesfield again, Man United, Brentford, Swindon and Crystal Palace.
Personally i would continue to support the club where i was from,however,im sure id attend a few games in my new town/city. It wouldnt be the same though.
:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:Agree with that except the bit about the rent reduction being needed - I don't see why SISU can't just keep paying the rent as it is now, just as they did for years. Afterall, they accepted it in the first place because they thought that £1.2m rent in the Premier would be easily affordable, as indeed it is. Yes it's high for League One, but whose fault is it that we are in League one not the Premier?? SISU!!
