When all parties see sense and we move back for say the FA Cup round 3

Will you get a season ticket?
Did you have one before?

Did you go before but will not go now?
Have you never been before but will be going now?

Have you found something else to do?

At what point will you go?

What needs to happen before you go back?

Does rental/ownership influence your decision to attend ?

IF, a deal is done. You're talking like it's certain. Its not. This is SISU and Cov Council we're talking about. 2 of the most stubborn parties possible. I still cant any deal happening before the end of the season. But if we come back for FA Cup Round 3, I will go. I had a ST before and I will buy one if we return, ONLY when the game is confirmed to be at the Ricoh. I don't care who owns the stadium or anything like that. I haven't boycotted CCFC games cus I want SISU out, that's a battle for another day. I have boycotted games cus we aren't in Cov. If we come back, I will end my 'Home' game boycott. To answer your questions:
Will you get a season ticket? Yes
Did you have one before? Yes

Did you go before but will not go now? no
Have you never been before but will be going now? no

Have you found something else to do? I have gone to some Nuneaton games and the majority of away games

At what point will you go? when its confirmed we are back in cov

What needs to happen before you go back? us to get back to cov

Does rental/ownership influence your decision to attend ? no

I will not get a season ticket (mainly due to not be able to go to every game), I will go to as many games as I can as soon as we are back. My reason for not going was purely a point of principle (Coventry should play in Coventry or at least close to the City limits) rather than supporting NOPM.

I genuinely believe most city fans will go back If, and its a big IF, a deal is struck. Their will be strong ticket sales simply because if you have been a season ticket holder that's how you have always purchased your ticket. Most fans have love hate relationships with their owners or boards, ask a Blackburn fan if they go to Ewood Park because its their home ground or because they love the Venky's ownership style. Blackburn fans go because its their team and their ground, Cov fans don't go because its not our ground and they won't travel 36 miles.
As far as owners go SISU have been one of the worst in not just our history but probably the history of the game, you can not apply their business model to a sports business and hope it works just because its worked in other industries. Seppala must hate the club because of all the grief its caused her and her backers, in her talk with Les Reid she indicated that it was a bad decision to buy us but not hers, I think she would be happy to be well rid of us. NOPM

That really was a typical Sisu line. None of them can accept responsibility for anything. Always quick to blame someone else, even within their own organisation. Very unprofessional.

However, to give her the benefit of doubt and assume its true, I would be extremely concerned if I was an investor in Sisu that an investment as large as this was done without the CEO's input.

I'm feeling positive today and I want everybody to be the same.

Lots of positive posters all chomping at the bit to get back 'may' influence discussions.

Don't spoil my day.

If we are back at the Ricoh I will be getting a season ticket if available. I have had one for so many years I forget how long. With all the shit we have had as a club I just don't want to get optimistic. Once the ink is dried on any agreement to get us back home, then I will be excited.

The interesting question is: "have you found something else to do?"
We're creatures of habit, 'going to match' would happen irrespective of form, etc. Now I am not so sure and for every year away from Cov there is an intake lost forever.

This is the dimension which pisses me off most about what has happened and for some is why Sisu will never be forgiven.

They need to go.

It is difficult to forget or even fully understand their motivation.
But if they make a start by making the right decision to move back to the Ricoh.
Can you maybe take a positive that they may have learnt from this experience?
The team seem motivated as a starter and perhaps a promotion will do a lot to heal.

Come on SISU make a start !!! Come on ACL/CCC offer an incentive for the future !!!

Evidently Tim took on Joy and gave Ann a bit of a mouthful before she stormed out.
However Joy had a talk to Tim and he decided to pull out.
Ann has now returned and both of them have said they will bend over backwards to get this mess sorted.

Not had an st for 4 years, would get one.

Ownership/rental doesn't bother me but I'd like the club to keep all the revenue it generates. Everything.
I just want us to have the best chance possible to be successful. Look at the away followings to see the size & potential of our great club.

Had a ST for many years previously and yes I would get one again if we were confirmed playing back at the Ricoh. Have not been to Sixfields but have attended most of the away games this season. The last few weeks have been very difficult to be missing the home games when we have been playing such attractive football for the first time in a generation. My son has suffered more and doesn't understand the politics, he just wants to watch his beloved sky blues at the Ricoh. Come on SISI & CCC sort it out.....

SISU want the Ricoh for peanuts, It's illegal for the council to sell it for less than it's worth as public money was invested. We won't be going back to the Ricoh unless Sisu cough up, I won't hold my breath
