i'M BORED WITH COV CITY (5 Viewers)

[TheBoss]

Bored shitless of the club, false promises, relegation battles, forking out well earned money to watch shite, players not giving a shit, useless managment, protests, half empty football ground, no decent pubs, no banter, best players being sold, 25 years since we last won a trophy................

is it all worth it, is it bollocks........time to follow football as a football fan and not a cov fan, its BORING.

Ah well. Each to their own.

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Seeya then. I hate fickle fans anyone would think he wants to be entertained when he hands over £20 of his hard earned.

 

[kieronhunt]

Yep.. see you saturday!

 

[Sky Blue Sheepy]

What's a nice way of calling someone a desperate attention whore? :jerkit:

Don't insult the rest of us by pretending this illness of ours is a choice!

Apart from that, are you happy with the way things are going?

TheBoss:
We are all depressed as fans, particularly those older ones like myself who have witnessed the greater times of past years, but Coventry City Football Club is in my blood. I will always have that belief that there is "something around the corner", that one day soon it will all change for the good. I was in tears when we were relegated from the Premier League but always believed we would bounce back. It hasn't happened and things look even worse - staring League One in the face. But as I said, they are my team. I am proud as fukc to wear my city top (albiet a couple of seasons out of date!) I can understand how you feel, but have faith. We are too big a club to sink without a trace. There are times I have really slated the team on these forums but a lot of you know me by now, inasmuch that I say things with a more humourous intention than most. It WILL get better for the Sky Blues. I just hope I'm still around to see it happen.

 

[covcity4life]

its a valid point

supporting cov must increase the chances of depression

if cov were top of the league i know my outlook on life would be alot better,thats not even a joke

 

[ccfcway]

thing is, the chap will get lambasted for saying it !!!

There are thousands of others who arent registered on this board let alone post, that have lost interest months ago..

The group of fans i used to go with years ago now say "what was the score on saturday ?"

I couldnt imagine not knowing the score at 4:55pm, let alone on a monday, but thats what we as a club have been reduced to.

If a fan who comes on the forum is saying it, its completely understandable that we lost a lot of fans months ago !

A generation has gone !!

 

[ashbyjan]

I wonder who has it worse: Older fans who can remember the heights we once reached, Cup winners, European competition, regular top flight games but now seeing us reduced to a pathetic shadow of what we were or the Younger ones for whom the pinnacle of their supporting days is an away win at Manure in the League cup and therefore have no real success to miss. Is it better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all?

Couldn't agree more, the amount of stick I get is sure to send me to depression, and the embarrassment I suffer when we play teams my mates support and I know they're going to see how bad we are. Still.......Wouldn't change it for the world!

Tough one to answer Jan Depends when you started for those fans who no no differance other than the last 10 years have nothing to compare to but still must be pissed off with knowing we could be very soon going down and cou;ld face endless years of nothing again.
Those who seen the JH years will know about being down there and the sucess that followed.
Then theres the the ones I am in 80's onwards remember years of D1/Prem cup success struggle after struggle year after year.
But for me it is hard because having witnessed the fighting spirit of the team and all the staff you always had a feeling that you will survive no matter what gets thrown at you because the titanic should have been painted blue and the sky blues don't go down without a fight and teams must have known this for years when in a relegation fight with us that we were battlers, now it is differant we have a team that seems incapable of fighting to get out of this and the belief seems to have finally gone in the club and in the fans that we could possible do it again and that for me hurts more than I think relegation will, that this maybe could have been avoided if only a fighting spirit was shown from top to bottom and do whatever is needed to get the club out of the mess we find ourselves in.

 

[BurbageSkyBlues]

Blimey , ich, that's one long sentence without a breath!

Tbf, the op is expressing how many have felt for a long time. When we consider the debates on here, about validity of protests, and who cares most, etc etc, I often think about the protests of the silent majority......those thousands who have already stopped going.

They have voted with their feet - and shouldn't be forgotten, simply because they don't go anymore. They are the ones that the club needs to win back, to have any hope. Otherwise, it's curtains for at least two or three decades.

BINGO !!!!!!!

You just knew on sat that despite being 1-0 up , we were going to lose, no fitness coach, lack of options etc.

Might not be the players fault, or might not be AT's, but the owners gave up hope of us stying in this Division long before a ball was kicked by deciding that costs would be cut to reduce the deficit, get rid of 11 players, get 2 x gk's and a 2nd Div striker.

"We'll Fight till the game is won".......

SISU didnt even bother to play the game this season, never mind fight to win it !

With a reduction in income next year, its not unrealistic than by pre season in Aug, we could lose another 7 or 8 players, leaving us with a team who will struggle to compete in League One,

SISU are killing this club !!

 

[TheBoss]

its the same old shit every season, even when we were in the Prem we were constantly let down by the powers to be, (Richardson, Robins, McGinnity and now SISU,) fookin crooks the lot of them, we are a laughing stock to others. You mention Cov City to other supporters and they have fook all to say aboit us other than, "oh yeh, i went to Highfield road once" blah blah blah, we are shite, shiter than shite and when we go down we'll be shite in League One, the club is doomed and will sink without a trace.

oh and I have been a supporter since the 80s, some things are just more important than Cov city these days, fook them.

 

[ccfcway]

some things are just more important than Cov city these days.

ha.

have to say my sock draw has never looked so tidy !

 

[Stoppercurtis]

Nothing is for ever. Something will happen eventually to pull us out of this mess. I fear that we will have to go down and be docked 10 points before things start to get better. City in the mid 60's - 70's used to get the crowds they are still there. I know literally scores of people that used to go up but ran out of faith and you cannot blame them for that. If we could get things moving again they will come back. All of the guys I used to go up with still want to know the score.

Much as I keep telling myself I have had enough I just keep going. I had been watching the city 6-7 years before JH turned up. Believe it was dire. We just have to believe that it will turn around.

Your right, Chester FC are no longer !

A bigger club than them is going to go under soon, It could well be us !

We were still going through year after year of the same old shit long before SISU came along.

 

[kg82]

Wow, supporting since the 80's and NOW it's time to be bored with it all! I have no sympathy, I don't care what other teams supporters think of us, this is my team and will be forever. Jesus Christ, if I'd actually cared what people think of Cov I'd have been a Man U supporter over 20 years ago. Desperate.

 

[Lets all sing together]

Last year I went to Middlesborough away - I xchanged my Tesco clubcard vouchers for Park Resorts holiday vouchers - I found a small place called Crimdon Dene which was the closest I could get to take the family somewhere but so I could also see the city at a ground I wanted to say "been there" , the park itself was a dump - we had a long weekend there.

After the game I had to get the train back from Middlesborough to Hartlepool , then a bus from Hartlepool to a main road near the caravan site (I didn't bother driving no-way was I watching without a good few pints)

I got back to the site , it was wet and windy and I made my way to the "entertainment complex" absolutely full of Middlesborough and Geordies it was , there was me going to the bar in my Sky blue shirt asking for a pint and a couple of fruit shoots.

After a few drinks we left the club and went back to the caravan ,as the children settled I dreaded the drive home the home the next day , but there was one thing that stuck with me and made realise why I done such a thing and spent so much money on a crap weekend for the sake of me going the football and keeping the family happy at the same time, it's because the club is in my blood and it's what I do. I could never imagine giving up so i'm sad that you feel this way.

I also done quite a similar adventure the season before to Hull , we stayed at a place called Withernsea - and the experience was exactly the same as the above except the site was full of Hull fans.

Will I be doing it again - of course ,

I blame my bloody Dad, he was the one, arrest him officer.
My blood is skyblue in colour and whatever i have tried to do to stop supporting them, and get a life, absolutely nothing works.
I just love the skyblues and always will

[Westchester76]

at least with this season there's some fire at the club - the fans are pissed off, we're just not accepting non performing, non committed players (Bell, McSheff, Eastwood), we're looking at moving a division for the first time in 10 years. I don't want any of this but perhaps it will take a relegation to create a new philosphy to be installed at this club. One positive is the youth coming through and I think we'll keep quite alot of our young squad even if we are relegated (Hussey, Christie, Camerson, Bigi, Thomas, Clarke) and I think there's half a decent team there.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Here is a thing for you, I will support CCFC whatever league they are in no doubt

Also being an exile of Cov i still like a lot of other exiles support the club and if in Cov go to the game.

I hope people who are exiles dont mind me saying this on their behalf but I honestly and know they get a special buzz and happy feeling going to see the Sky Blues whatever the situation we are in good or bad.

When I lived in town I went week in week out and away also.

Finally when I tell people I support Coventry I do not get any sympathy infact i get a lot of respect from people that I still follow my hometown club.

Bored............ well TheBoss i think you have never really properly followed Cov to be honest.

We as loyal fans must hold our heads up high and like other unfashionable club fans realise we are what this game of football is all about.

 

[Astute]

Relegation battles? This is all I have ever known most seasons. Only been a supporter since the early 80's. Bored? No. Our season normally lasts until the last game of the season.

 

[melbourneskyblue]

Its very hard to like CCFC most of the time.We havent finished high up the league,championship or prem,for donkeys years,We very rarely string a few wins together,very rarely have a decent cup run,have very few hardcore fans and we dont even own our own home.

1987 seems a million years ago and TBH if that hadnt happened what the fuck could we ever have to shout about? Pretty pathetic really for a club thats nearly 130 years old.

BUT they are my hometown club so i couldnt possibly follow anyone else.Even over here i cant be arsed to watch Melbourne victory.....even if the weather is more conducive to sitting in the stands with a beer in hand,just aint the same.
