Trying to decide whether to buy a season ticket. If we have the embargo in place at the start of the season quite frankly I don't see why I should part with my hard-earned money as the owners clearly don't care for the club and I don't see why I should be giving them anything. What chance do people think of it realistically being lifted by August? I'm feeling more and more sceptical as the weeks drag on.

What makes you think that even if the embargo is lifted, we will actually sign players?

Maybe you should judge it by their latest statement, that it will be lifted before the 30th of June

We will sign some players and 5 or should give us a real shout at promotion.

Can people please forget any ideas about promotion - next season (if there is a next season for us) will simply be about survival in this division. Understand SISU don't care what division we are in as long as they do not have to prop the club up in any financial way, if that means another relegation do you seriously believe Joy(less) will be shedding a tear over it? New players? Even if the embargo is miraculously lifted how are the wages of any freebies going to be paid for? ANy savings of Eastwood, Clingan etc going are outweighed by the drop in revenue so please do not expect 5,6, or 7 signings - we will be lucky if its 1 or 2.

It's a tough call... ticket revenue is all SISU really have coming in (apart from selling players) so if that falls off a cliff then they will be forced to do something as losses will ramp right up... so if you want them out then starve them out.. it's the only thing as a fan you can do.. but there's no guarantees what comes next will be any better and could be a lot worse... if you do though - use a credit card to pay for it

Whether you buy a season ticket or not boils down to one simple question (assuming it's financially viable):

Do you enjoy going?

Thinking beyong the quality of football, do you enjoy the quality time with the people you go with? Do you enjoy telling people you're a die hard ST holder at Coventry City? Do you enjoy the day out every other Saturday? and the odd Tuesday? Do you enjoy the banter, the songs, the first hand knowledge of the playing side?

My answer to all those is "yes" and will be for the forseeable, and embargo/SISU/stadium ownership issues or not, I currenltly hold a ST.

With all respect WHY??

I am looking forward to next season, I think we will do okay and possibly win more than we lose for a change, I also think we will be in or around play offs so will have a shout at promotion. My opinion, and my feelings.......the only things i control!!

Most of us thought like that when we went down from the Prem. Now how did that work out ?

The drop down here though is different. Most teams have poor squads and in general are poor. Even teams like Scunthorpe and Peterborough have bounced back. Good management and tactics will be key.

Agreed - look at some of the fixtures - we need goals yes but other than that we can compete.

Best answer your going to get really. If you still enjoy going despite what's going on then you should. If not; then no.

Peterborough in particular had much better team than we've currently got, especially in the attacking third.
