"I don't think you'd see many more turn up if it was free. Its a non event."
And that's a real supporter?
The fact that Black60sprey called a Coventry City FA Cup match a 'non event' speaks volumes for the problem our football team faces. You ought to be ashamed to talk of 'your' team in that way. What kind of 27 seasons long support is that? What kind of hope do Coventry City FC have with that kind of talk? I just wonder how many on here are actually going to the game. I'm very critical of our so called supporters and the way they don't turn up - they are a major part of the problem.

Coundon, I'd like the ones that don't turn up to - turn up. And support their team. Not a lot to ask is it? You are either a supporter or you are not. Calling a Coventry city match a 'non event' is a hanging offence in my book. This wishy washy attitude to 'supporting' the team is a major problem for Coventry City.
Macca, with respect, I don't understand what you said.
CJ, did I say that? Did I mention Chelsea? Though support of that size would be terrific - what a message a big crowd would send out about Coventry City and their supporters - that they cared and were behind their team. Fat chance of that - fact is thousands don't care - unless of course Chelsea or a 'big team' come to town. We have some some really crap 'supporters.' (With apologies to the die hards, who I salute).
And Nick, £10 a bit much?! What you want, they pay you to come in?
When I completed the form to renew our season tickets this year there is a box on the form to tick to "automatically issue tickets for all home cup games", which I did. Our ST's are in the Telegraph stand.
A very nice lady phoned me last week to say that they were not opening the Telegraph stand for this Saturday so where would I like to sit? I said the Lloyds Pharmacy stand instead. Then she phoned back again and said that wasn't open either, so Tesco's stand it is then. So looks like they are only opening the one stand for home supporters.
We have now received paper tickets for the game. At a fiver each for concessions think that's good value.
This is a very simple way of making sure we get our tickets for all cup games and we don't have to make a trip to the Ricoh to pick them up or anything.
£10.
JPT game is a fiver.

In a recession (when people have to watch the pennies)That is the best definition on a recession I've ever heard!! Bravo!!

So you're implying really that anyone who claims to support CCFC should attend every single match, home and away, presumably including pre-season friendlies?
In a recession (when people have to watch the pennies), in the run-up to Christmas when people are spending money elsewhere, IT IS A BIG ASK to expect people to turn up for every game we play. Especially when we are all too often "rewarded" by inept, passion-less performances.
You seem to imply that nobody has a right to call themselves a fan unless they go to every single game we play. Are fans not allowed t pick and choose which games they go to, if they can't afford to go each week or if they have family commitments etc?
Anybody who implies that you MUST go to football games clearly has no other priorities in their life.
It is THESE kind of "fans" who drive others away. What these "fans" don't appreciate, is that unless thecasual fans come back on a fairly regular basis, htere simply won't be a club for the "fans" to support!
Who would want to go to a match, if they get such abuse for doing so!
Its morons like these who cannot see past the end of their nose and assume that you have to be absolutely rabidly supportive despite of results makes me sick.
What about all the troops who are cov fans? are they to be called disloyaal because they are serving in afghanistan? Of course not!
Its pathetic, and it drives other fans away.
Cov simply cannot survive on 1,000 or so rabid fans!
Success will always bring back extra fans, but expecting fans to come when the team cannot be bothered to play for 90 minutes and lose to sides like yeovil. It is pathetic.
Oh dear, what a ridiculous post !! You missed the whole point of his rant, which was aimed at so-called supporters calling the game a 'Non event'. We beat these {Arlesey} and then another easy side and we could get a very valuable money spinning tie to a big club. It is these events that will prolong the life of the club !
For financial reasons (I live in Sc-unithorpe) I am unable to attend games these days. I subscribe to Skyblue World, I listen to live commentary every week and City shirt with pride. Does that make me a non-supporter?
