They enable us to play in a ground we can't afford to buy.
They enable us to play in Coventry.
The facilities at the Ricoh, thanks to their investment, are second to none and enhance the match day experience. Post and pre match.
What more do you want?
There are a handful of mouthy Sisu apologists on here, who have for years attacked anyone holding Sisu responsible, who have deflected and pointed at anyone but the owners of the business for catastrophic failures on and off the pitch over the last 10 years. Why do they do it? I suspect mainly because they simply cant face up to the fact they got it badly wrong. They just keep on digging, trying to defend the indefensible.
When Bournemouth got up into the Championship their average attendance was 6852 that's the point I was making, that figure is going to be lower than our average getting relegated - success is not just about or dependent on crowd numbers. At any club it has everything to do with the decisions made by owners primarily
Apparently our owners have spent 10's of millions in simply failing on many levels. It is not that we didn't have the money it would seem
Don't listen to the worms yeahThe fact that a few 'mouthy Sisu apologists'
come on here and exhibit their stupidity is neither here nor there.
Was that when you said that we hadn't had average crowds over 23,000 for 39 years when you hid the fact that we would have had to sell out both home and away seats at HR for most of that time?
Check other clubs attendances during the same period e.g. Spurs in the 20 thousands now look how many they have on their ST waiting list. Stoke in the championship and now plus all the others.Eh? Our capacity was over 30,000 until the all seater stadium and easily held 25,000 post the cup win and we averaged 16,000?
That's an interesting point. Remember Arsenal getting 18k in the late 70s. Everton getting similar in the early 90sCheck other clubs attendances during the same period e.g. Spurs in the 20 thousands now look how many they have on their ST waiting list. Stoke in the championship and now plus all the others.
So your plan would be to stay out in Northampton and wait for Sisu to go ?
Sisu would be waiting in Northampton for CCFC to hit the top of the cycle and sell?
I can see a problem already !! But let's carry on ....
At that point CCC would sell the stadium to the buyer of the club and both would be reunited?
No, Sisu sell the club for what's it worth and we can get a long term deal at the Ricoh, personalise some areas as our own and get on with the football.
The academy is compromised with the new swimming pool.
The rest 'morally corrupt' 'CCC BIAS' is just ranting and not worth response.
Also league cup at Anfield 8000 of us in a crowd in the 20s and our lot singing "where's your famous fucking Kop"That's an interesting point. Remember Arsenal getting 18k in the late 70s. Everton getting similar in the early 90s

I will admit that I am a fickle fan.Herein lies the Coventry City fickle fan cycle.
Fans who say they won't attend matches if current owners in charge.
New owners appear.
Then blame continued lack of success on the pitch for not going.
New manager appears.
Then blame new owners for not investing.
And on and on and on....

Normally I am not bothered about how far I travel. I normally try to change plans to get to games. But at this moment I have had enough. I have had too many times of driving for hours hoping we will at least compete. Then driving home for hours after yet another game where we didn't compete wondering why I bothered when I could have taken my family out for the day and had treasured time with my children who are at school all week. I work shifts so I have many weeks when I hardly see them.
I don't know what is worse. Most of our performances this season or being called fickle.
It's nothing to do with you.
I think by now every one on this forum knows how you have to travel land sea and ocean to get to a game and no doubt have to walk over burning coals to boot.
It's a question of those who are living in the vicinity of the actual City and what will be the potential attendance generated by the local population.
No it isn't.It's nothing to do with you.

You are so far up wasps arse it's a fucking embarrassment.They enable us to play in a ground we can't afford to buy.

My point is that most of us have difficulties of some sort. And the more difficulties you have the less chance of you wanting to go to watch utter dross like we have for most of this season. And it hasn't been good for most of the time for many years now.Come on G, thats a bit unfair. Astute does travel bloody miles to games and we should applaud those who make the effort, as at the moment every penny counts.
Wish it wouldn't descend to fans' fault you know, utterly stupid.I will admit that I am a fickle fan.

23,464 IIRC
Yeah, I can see what you're saying but then again I think the surrounding area is full of decent sized teams, within 25 miles of the Ricoh as the crow flies you've got: Blues, Villa, Leicester and WBA.
Whereas Hull have got Scunthorpe and Grimsby, the nearest top 2 division team being Barnsley which is 47 miles away.
I agree. But they have had constant top half finishes. They have made the playoffs. They have had reasons to get excited.Wish it wouldn't descend to fans' fault you know, utterly stupid.
That being said, Grendel has a point though, that because Sheff Utd's gates have held up well, that's made them saleable.
As has, indeed, having a ground to play at... and the club have worked for years on developing non football income streams
And no, me saying that doesn't mean I'm saying our fans are shit, yadda yadda yadda. No reason whatsoever for you, me, or Fisher's dog to turn up. Could argue it's a madman who pays to suffer. But... bigger gates make Sheff Utd more saleable, in the same way that people bang on about the potential of Coventry, but you never hear anybody saying they'll be taking Accrington on because they deserve their rightful place in the top flight!
So what was the all seater capacity then?Thats odd - how did we get 27,637 vs Liverpool in 1988 then?
The elephant in the room, people keep ignoring when doing comparable attendances with other clubs, in the previous 20/30/40 years, is the fact we haven't had a top 6 finish for nearly 50 years. Football is all about glory for most fans, as witnessed by our huge following last Sunday. The bread and butter of a football season is your league games,and on that front we have suffered endless years of failure. The surprise is not how low our gates have often been, it is with what we have had to endure for countless years is that any of us still go. No other club comes even close to us in the years of our utter failure in the 3 divisions we have been in since the late 1960's. The fact that so many fans like Astute travel literally hundreds of miles each game to watch decades of failure show a devotion bordering on insanity. The fact that most fans see no real hope for the future whilst these cowboys run our club, is why so many won't be renewing their season tickets next season.I will admit that I am a fickle fan.

What about our last five seasons in the premier league? You seem to keep discounting them for some reason.
It's time to get Linda out again
