I was there in the 1960's VOR and ever since, apart from one 6th place finish and an FA Cup victory, there hasn't been much to cheer about at CCFC. But they are MY club and I will follow them till I snuff away from this world. I just hope you're right with your prediction of success. Forgive me if I don't hold my breath just yet!
Give credit where it is due. Fair play to CCFC for listening to the fans and re-opening the North stand. I think it is a great idea to close off the tops rows and bunch people together near the front. Not only will that generate a better atmosphere and look better on TV when a game is aired but also keeps fans behind a goal which is important. Keep it up.
Is this just your own opinion, or have the club said anything? I am in one of the rows near the top of the Tesco Stand.
The team in the sixties was'nt made up of loan players,that may go back to their clubs in January,to be replaced by more loan players.
Back in the 1960's a guy named Jimmy Hill came to Coventry.. what hapened next was that the crowds starting coming back and it was the "feel good" feeling returning to what had been a miserable few years (apart from promotion from Div 4 ) that created the impetus and launch of a tremendous next 40 years in Sky Blues history. We are now EXACTLY where we were 50 years ago - in Div 3.
I get this feeling again... with bigger crowds urging the team on I feel an impetus could see a big upturn in our fortunes. PUSB
Considering I went out and deliberately chose that seat because of the view and after trying several different seats and rows etc., are the club now just going to give me any ticket they feel like?
Won't be a hppy bunny if they just throw some random ticket at me. I am on the end of a row right on the half way line. What I consider to be a perfect view.
its only LL and below in northstand as far as i am aware.
if your on halfway line you should not be effected.
LL and below or above?You're confusing me now. Last post you said LL and above and now you are saying LL and below. Are you confusing yourself or don't you have a bleeding clue what you are talking about?
Otis are you being stupid on purpose? LL and above is closed unless there is demand in the north stand(cet) only. South stand is closed to home supporters, unless there is demand. :wave:
Well that's it then.....lets all tend our gardens on Saturdays instead! The man is a dick of the very highest order.Listening to Fisher when interviewed last 'Friday promotion is the last thing he wants, can't afford it apparently.
It's just one game VOR, one game. :wave:
Maintain this level of interest and passion from the fans and we might be on to something. An air of positivity and belief can go a long way, but we need to maintain the spirit and interest shown at the Gillingham game and carry it on through.
I normally agree with what you say Otis, but I don't think it's up to the fans. If the team does well, and I think Pressley's really got something going, then the fans will pour in. That's what happened under Jimmy Hill. A promotion push will do the job.
I am in SS. :slap:
Otis I always had you down as a bit more left of centre than that!
We are now EXACTLY where we were 50 years ago - in Div 3. [/QUOTE said:I'm afraid this is nonsense. Jimmy Hill was a new manager with new ideas. We don't have a new manager and certainly no new ideas. Jimmy Hill brought in the top scorers in the division and the best goal keeper in the division (Bill Glazier). We have now sold all of our top scorers (McGoldrick, Clarke, Wilson), our best goal keepers (Westwood, Murphy), and currently have a loanee goalkeeper because our own no 1 is not good enough. Our goalkeeper and top scorer are loanees who will leave in January.
No, we are a world away from the Jimmy Hill years when we boasted a forward line with two international wingers, the mercurial George Hudson, and the England U-23 goalkeeper.

That feeling didn't last very long at all did it.
Who would have thought after that Gillingham game we would now only have 6,000 City fans turning up to games.
And if this poor run of form continues, with the onset of winter, you can only think the attendances can drop further still.
Excitement and a winning team bring fans in. At the moment we have neither.
The football may seem 'pretty' on the surface, but it is also all rather dull and predictable.
In the words of the Stranglers ..... Something Better Change
