Probably not, but surely the idea is to try and make them care.
The people wouldn't care less either way. Do you seriously think the average Coventry citizen has any interest in what happens?
No - only a troll or a moron would think that

You need to come to coventry and speak to the people, you will be suprised at what they think. I would bet on the answer would be to get rid of SISU as there is 10,000 supporters who stopped going when we were at the RICOH and they would vote to get rid of SISU.

Have you spoken to them all? Must have taken ages
Our crowds returned to our natural
Level in the final championship season after the new stadium effect had worn off. There were plenty of gates post relegation and pre sisu that were around 12,000 at Highfield road.

In fairness he has probably spoken to more than you. I know what his occupation is ;-)
Granny call-girl?
I bet you 'something' will happen - a million quid.Nothing will change after this JR. I would bet on it!!

What's the "natural level" again?
You really are a joke.
it's hard to draw any solid conclusions.

The graph is irrelevant. The data omits from what I can see the average attendance for the League at the time. The data would show far higher average crowds in the 60's as the national trend was higher. You also need to extract away following as the propotionality is mugh higher in the Premier League.
I assume you teach at Play school. Please god don't tell me you teach senior school children. The ignorance is geniunely shocking.
There is no such thing as a 'natural level'. It is dependent on a combination of factor including what tier a team is playing in, how successful they are within that tier, and other factors such as hooliganism problems that caused a huge reduction in attendances nationwide in the 80s. Oh, and shit owners that move a team 35 miles away from its home.
If we move back to Coventry and continue to be a shit division 3 side we'll average about 10K, if we pulled off back to back promotions and got into the PL (ha!) we'd average around 25K due to the novelty factor of Coventry having a successful side, and the media coverage that would accompany it.
And not even you can seriously think otherwise.
These are the average home attendances since relegation from PL:
Championship at HR
2001/02 15,436
2002/03 14,812
2003/04 14,816
2004/05 16,047
Championship at Ricoh
2005/06 21,301
2006/07 20,342
2007/08 19,123
Championship under SISU at Ricoh (tookover Dec 2007)
2008/09 17,407
2009/10 17,305
2010/11 16,309
2011/12 15,118
League 1 under SISU at Ricoh
2012/13 10,948
League 1 under SISU at Northampton
2013/14 2,348
Whatever way you look at it since SISU took over (and before moving to Northampton) they'd already lost around 50% of the support, 25% of that prior to relegation. Of course you can look at all sorts of things, attendances overall, economy in the local area etc etc so it's hard to draw any solid conclusions.
The one factor you have to include is the impact initially of a new stadium - look at the average rise that gives and then factor that out.
Your prior to the ricoh crowds show the true average. Decline started after season one at the new ground. Other than 2008 to 2009 the decline back to pre Ricoh levels is incredibly consistent year on year.

The poll firms do not speak to every one, do you take the piss out of the them. Have you got a answer how the 10,000 who stopped going under SISU would vote.
Really? Do you see the Ricoh as a tourist attraction. It's hardly something you want to keep going back to see so the new stadium factor should really apply to 3 games max.
You don't know the 10,000 stopped going because SISU took over? You can't answer for them can you?
There could be a variety of reasons, it is the same as the statements that say 10,000 fans who don't go to Sixfields don't go because of principles.
Have you done a poll or just made a statement? Does that mean that the huge gates we had in the 40's etc stopped coming because they weren't happy with the owners? Could things like credit crunch, lack of work, Sky TV etc have made any difference?
Some people seem to overly like it.

But the fall off is very dramatic and coincides with the move to Sixfields. Hardly figures you can use to illustrate the fan base are behind SISU.
You mention huge gates in the 40's, were they not typical nationally? Hasn't that decline been replicated all over the country for reason you touch on?
Hardly relevant to the our plummet in attendance since moving to Sixfields is it?
