Tell me, have you ever heard of the recession and what it's doing to the average man and womens money situation right now?
I'm one of those extra 20,000 and as a lot of people will know on here, I'm a loyal Sky Blues fan and have sky blue blood running through my veins!
I just can't afford to go to every game and that sucks for me. If someone offered me a season ticket, I'd be there every week.
So keep your eliteism to yourself please!
yes there is a recession on and yes people find it hard but do they use that excuse at clubs like Man utd, Arsenal, Man City Newcastle even as far down as Brighton, Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester. they all get decent crowds. its the results that keep people away in this city
People love to use this word recession and hide behind it! I'm no different to the 'average' man (mortgage, bills to pay, car to run etc etc etc) lets be honest if you want to be at a game you'll make sacrifices to be there.
Why should everyone else pay less than season ticket holders? Please explainI believe if the price was right half of those 10k would be come back -the result on Tuesday would put some off but the effort and commitment should have been encouragement enough -if it was say £15 rather than 22 - 11k at 22=242,000 even 17k at 15 would pay 255,000 -just a thought

i think you will find the most expensive early bird cost 345 -23 games at 15 = 345 so nobody would be paying less hope that explainsWhy should everyone else pay less than season ticket holders? Please explain
Said this before it isn't the price to get in that affects the gate it is the product on the pitch, nothing else. 30000 Cov fans turned up Tuesday with Wembley in their nostrills and yes 20000 were stayaway fans, so what ! I would think 90% of that 20000 have been to many,many games but our lack of anything here other than demise has driven them away. Alot of those 20000 can be wooed back with a bit of hope, ambition and dare i say success and maybe with Mark Robins we can achieve that. You have to ask though what is going on behind the scenes re the rent issue, re investment, re ownership, re player recruitment. There seems to be more qestions than answers at the moment.
Well i think £5 was way too cheap a minimum of £15 or even a sit anywhere £20, not that it would of made any difference to the team would just of put a lot more dosh in SISU pocketsI know about ten people who went and said they went because it was only a fiver! They were such massive fans they didnt know the past games were.
Should the club have been marketing it more?
They're parasites, they suck up allt he glory without experiancing disapointment like us REAL fans. If you're not gonna support your team thru thick and thin and leave when the going gets tough, dont fecking come back! We dont need you! Better to have 10k REAL fans rather than 30k fake ones who abandon the lads as soon as we concede
We have always had a fickle fan base borne out by the relatively low crowds experienced even when we were in the top flight at Highfield Road.
Compare us to the likes of Norwich, Leicester, Southampton with similar catchment areas and even when these clubs were in League 1 all seemed to achieve 20K+ gates.
I don't think you can blame our match ticket prices for season ticket holders as they represent pretty good value for money.
We can only deal with the here and now and our gates and halve the size they were in our first season at the Ricoh.The same Norwich, Leicester and Southampton that were getting between 14-16k gates 15 years ago?
Where have their 5-10k extra fans come from? Or does the fickle rule only apply to us?
