There has always been some, but 'full', behave.
Nuneaton has always been full of Leicester and Villa fans.
I just went off http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/ for the 2005 season.
Yep I'll do 2006 now, that was the Ricoh move year wasn't it?
There has always been some, but 'full', behave.
When I was at school / younger and played against Nuneaton teams and played with lads from Nuneaton, there were always villa, leicester and even stoke fans. Mostly villa back then.
That was when we were prem too.
Even at school then city fans were very rare, I think there was about 3 or 4 I can remember in my class at primary school. The rest was man utd / liverpool.
It's not really the case, because a large portion of Nuneaton's population originate from Coventry is you go back a few generations. I remember after we won the cup CCFC flags were hanging out of windows all over the town. We've seen a bit of that with Leicester this week, but fortunately not on that scale. The longer we spend in the wilderness, the less that people of Warwickshire identify with CCFC as being their club, and that could be very damaging. Leicester doing what they have done hasn't helped.
The pub I drink in after work would often advertise trips to away City games, but this season they started doing trips to Leicester games. Go figure.

Us - 21180
Palace - 19567
Watford - 15450
WBA - 25404
Stoke - 14738
Norwich - 24952
Southampton - 23614
Bournemouth - 6472
Southampton, Norwich have always had good turnouts.
Southampton's lowest since 2001 (it doubled then, I guess new stadium??) is 17849, Norwich 18987
What is interesting though, is that we lost 5000 going from championship to League 1, Norwich gained 120, Southampton gained about 3000, Leicester lost 3000, Man City in 1999 gained 100 or so.
Lets put it another way. Ten years ago were leicester, bournmouth, southampton, crystal palace, stoke, watford, wba, bournmouth and norwich bigger clubs with better crowds than us.
the answer is no. Whilst their owners have moved their clubs forward on similar fan bases and income to ours and are all sitting in the premiership we have sunk to the third tier of english football, dont own our own ground, have a team made up of loans and out of contract players and no long term plan or investement to get us out this league. Sisu refuse to financially back the club. Enough said

We're not similar in fans and haven't been for years. Their support didn't ditch them whereas ours did.
The answer is yes, Leicester, Norwich, WBA, Soton all had better crowds.
Why do you think SISU are responsible for backing the club? The club is the fans as people like you bleat on. Relying on a benefactor is not sustainable.
