This club is dead (19 Viewers)

[torchomatic]

You are in the minority yes, as out of 300k + in population, we are down to 8k of fans. You shouldn't feel guilty for supporting your team. We are still not in agreement as to how to combat what is happening to our club and everyone of us needs to do what we feel is right

There was never 300K anyway. But yes, I'm in a minority with 8/9K others.

As I feel at the moment his will be my last season.
Tim Fisher all but confirms it's the right decision.
Started in 1967 so 50 years is enough.

No idea why people bang on about the population as if we have had 300k people lining up for tickets week in week out.

There you go again, I say I'll still support the team I have for over 40 years and you say it's because of drugs. Quote someone else, I'm done with you.

There you go again, replying lol. You sound like a girl about to cry. "I'm done with you" lol I think that's what most city fans have said to sisu and fisher

Well we had 20,000 fans regularly turning up when sisu arrived that's gone down to 8k. So why do you think that is?

 

[torchomatic]

Well I'm fucking deluded then, because I'm sure when I next go up to the Ricoh, ccfc will be alive if not kicking, but competing (badly) in league one.

There is always hope, sisu will eventually fuck off and we can move on. We just need to hang in there until they do.

That's right. I think the death of Coventry City has been somewhat exaggerated. There's life in the old girl yet.

how dare you bring Bernard Cribbens into this!

Hold on, don't be so hasty. We need someone to fix a hole.

 

[Ian1779]

Tonight confirmed for me they have no interest in making us look a little bit pretty and selling us off to the first bidder for a few quid.

They'd rather just take us to an inevitable death with them as a business and us as fans losing.

It's not actually what they want though is it. What they really want is to leave it alone and somehow it miraculously will sort itself out and they can have some money as a result. They don't want to spend any money, and as they can't get back what they believe they put in then they will just leave it there to take care of itself.

The question is - can it survive on it's own?? Not that it is our responsibility as fans but this is probably the reality of what we will always face unless we get an owner willing to chuck money at it.

we all know why it is, but the club isn't dead yet.
We still have a team and a fixture list to fulfill.
We're in the shit, fuck knows how we're going to get out of it let alone rebuild, but the club ain't dead.

sorry, we used to have more fans than we do now. is that ok ?

Maybe wrongly, but people bang on about the population as SISU stated that it was one of the main reasons they came to us, as we were a one club city !

 

[Ian1779]

So why use the term customers then?

They call kids in schools 'stakeholders'. I fucking hate it - but it's just pretentious people being pretentious pricks.

A long cry from 300k isn't it?

Norwich, Leeds and Leicester got what in League 1 and how many people in their cities?

It doesn't mean the club is dead does it?

Look how many fans are not renewing season tickets, look at crowds dropping week onweek season on season. The club to most people in this city see it as dead, that's why they don't go. I into the pubs in cov, work places, everyone has given up.

 

[matesx]

There's always hope.

I'm not giving up on my club so easily.

Not dead to me.

Football is different to going to a restaurant you have absolutely no attachment to. Am I happy with the product on the pitch? No, I haven't been with the product on the pitch for the majority of my life supporting us, where despite 3-4 odd seasons we have been crap in context of the league we've been playing in.

And at the minute, I will be renewing my ST as going to the football is far more than the match, it's about spending quality time with my grandad, mum and son, 4 generations of us torturing oursleves watching shit football.

Then that's your choice how you spend your money but theirs three generations in my family that will not support this regime any longer. My loyalty is to the club and what it stood for which is in the past. My future will be with the club but not until it recognises it needs to change and when and if that happens we will give it the same support we have since the 50s.

They all were all getting 20k+ because they had structure. What have we got? Fans are pissed off and voting with there feet. If the team was a success we would fill the Ricoh on a weekly basis. The fan base is there and has been proven in the past. They don't go because of sisu and fisher. How can you disagree with that?

You gave up 2 years ago when your mates from out of town showed up.

You're like they guy that texts his ex girlfriend to tell her that your new girlfriend is much hotter... when in reality we all know she's an unprincipled slag.

Absolutely, the club need us more now than ever.

well, norwich got an average of 24,756 in 2009 in league one

What hope? I can hearing the word but no evidence. What has this club got hope for?

not everyone. It may only be a matter of time but where there's life there's hope.

I hate golf, but I'd never sign up to a golf forum and tell people no to play.

Why do so many people come on here to say they've given up on city and every one else should do the same. Why not just fuck off and concern yourself with something else? Weird behavior.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

You get that a lot on here, agree with me or else you are: deluded, love sisu, etc etc

And the others sisu are not CCFC it is everyone else's fault But...........
Fucking deluded 1 percenters

Who said they hate cov? I don't. I hate fisher and sisu. Weird comment

330K is the population of Coventry.
CCFC fans come from Coventry and Warwickshire so potential supporters must be well over double that.

I wouldn't bang on about it if i was you

I wonder why? Because there owners are supporters and invested money. Imagine that!!!!!

Yes, potential if we get Chelsea in the cup.

We can't play them every week though can we? I can't see anybody putting in the tens of millions at least to try and make sure we do play the likes of them every week and not expect it back if it all goes to shit.

How realistic is it?

 

[Ian1779]

True... but equally there must have been some shocking decisions that got them to League 1 in the first place.

Lobbing money at the club won't fix the problem just like that... It needs to be done properly.

well, its all I knew as a kid , so it cant be that crazy that a club in a very large city (I wont mention population) could be in the top flight, or the next flight, hell, even competing in the 3rd flight

..... and your just the type of fan Sisu want.
Don't give a toss about fellow fans and will eat any shit they feed them. Good luck stuffing yourself at the buffet.

You really can't follow what people are saying. While the owners and board don't invest and care the fans will stop bothering too. The shit has hit the fan. It's all come to ahead now it's sickens me

 

[matesx]

What hope? I can hearing the word but no evidence. What has this club got hope for?

Hope that a new manager clears out the deadwood and brings in players capable of winning football matches.

Hope that a winning increases gates which generates more revenue.
For the manager.

Hope to channel the fans frustration and anger against the board into positive support of the team.

The hope that as as long as we exist then an investor will eventually show up.
