Dribbles less

And that

This is the outcome when you have a fool in charge. If this statement was released yesterday it would have taken the sting out of the release of season ticket details.
There has been a 24 hour period where negativity has been given free reign and spread amongst even the most benign posters.
Some on here who advocate starving the club of money, the same are also foaming at the mouths at the cost of tickets!

 

[Skyblueweeman]

If less people buy STs and we have a good start to the season, we might a bigger walk up and with on the day prices higher the ST prices (by game), we could actually be better off in a weird way.

This all depends on Robins giving the team a good start to the season. Increase in gate money between Sept-Dec 'could' give us more to play with in the January transfer plan.

Highly unlikely I know and a dick-ish thing from the club but it might actually work in Robins favour!

Can't really argue with that, pretty much sums it up.

Still think a token 10% reduction would have been the sensible option and would have been a small gesture to the fans.

Yeah I agree. This is when lack of income hits home. As you say a token reduction - even 5% - wouldn't haven't caused any fuss. They have an opportunity to give something back but again they messed it up.

My son doesn't find it "sad" as he knows no different. He lives and breathes Coventry City, which is the most important thing for me. And he won't be the only one. It'll be the adults who are sad about our situation. The kids just get on with it and I admire them for that.

Don't kids grow into adults?

 

[CovBurty]

Fisher has spoken. You season ticket holders were given a lovely day out at Wembley. We might do it again next season (woooh), so if you want a chance of promotion (laughs) you had better go and renew. Why not ?

I didn't protest when I was a kid

Ooh, you've got me there. I'm not sure.

Those kids aren't adults now. They are sky blue mad. They support their team whatever and hopefully will continue to do so into adulthood.

To be honest though I think that by many would have been viewed as equally insulting.

In fact if they'd made it £179 by May 31 most would still complain as they need to save money and also. To ensure sisu deliver a squad worth having.

some would G, but I think many would have appreciated the gesture.
There certainly wouldn't have been the melt down of the last 24 hours.

 

[skybluebeduff]

Here is the real statement from Tim:

"Dear Knobheads,

I've ensured that your club never gets a non match day revenue stream, I personally overseen in making sure all that is fucked for you!
As you know I'm not asking fucking SISU again for money for you mugs, I want your money instead to float this boat of SISU's investment. But because I've had the first treatment of methadone from my weaning off smack, and feel a bit high I thought having under 13's go free was a good token gesture of how high I am.

Anyway money or I'm giving you shit again,

Hate you all

Tim"

Nor me. cause football was cool. City were good. Top league. Most of us got on with each other. We celebrated goals toget her in the West End. Today's kids all they hear is moans

 

[CovBurty]

We all support our team, some once every 30 years some every year. But supporting a team at highest level is better than basement level. Well we do have Sky to help the kids out if your team is not very good.

Not for me next season we will be back to where we were when I first went lol

 

[singers_pore]

Next season will likely see the lowest ever position in the club's history. A bit of commonsense would have gone a long way to making fans feel appreciated rather taken for granted. Anyway I think it's all part of TF's master plan to move us into a stadium with a tiny capacity. Non-league here we come ...

 

[CovBurty]

Also into adulthood supporting a team in the bottom league he/she may want his excitement in other way and may drift away. Nothing wrong supporting a lower league side, just his mates at school, maybe, unless they are all City fans.

 

[CovBurty]

Sorry to hear that. I'm still going to some games, mostly away. I still want us to win that league first up. but doubt it. Mowbray first season was good it got my passion going again. this year is a season to forget. ( except for the many at Wembley) not me with this relegation. A few games if we are winning ??

Coventry City Chairman Tim Fisher would like to address the concerns of the fans following Season Ticket launch...



Firstly, I’m very pleased to welcome Tommy Widdrington to Coventry City this week, to head up our player recruitment programme.

The manager and I feel this appointment is the cornerstone of the football department; Tommy is tasked with finding and securing the right playing talent for the football club going forward.

The club also announced details and prices for next year’s Season Tickets yesterday. Understandably, this has been met with some concerns from fans.

We are unlike most other football clubs, in that we do not benefit from non-ticketing revenue. The club does not get either matchday non-ticketing revenues or non-matchday revenues. We are therefore pushed to generate most income via ticketing means, and this puts pressure on the current Season Ticket pricing structure.

As a club, we are fully aware that other League One clubs have ongoing ticket promotions and offers. Unfortunately, Coventry City FC are not in a position to replicate these, despite wanting to reward our loyal supporters.

Our Season Ticket prices are still in keeping with most clubs in League One and Two and we are especially pleased to be able to continue to offer JSB’s U13 a FREE Season Ticket - and hope this helps with the cost of a family visit to the Ricoh Arena.

The club also wanted to reward its returning early bird Season Ticket holders, and new purchasers, with a FREE ticket to the club’s first cup game of the upcoming season. Hopefully we can replicate the fantastic cup success of this season!

We’re also absorbing the £6.00 processing charge in the early bird period.

The manager wrote about togetherness and unity in his address, and I’d like to echo the same sentiment. Whilst the club simply aren’t able to underwrite any reduction in ticket prices, we are supporting Mark Robins with as much financial backing as is feasibly possible.

All available spend will be allocated to the team. We want to enjoy a successful year on the pitch in 2017/18 and we need the fanbase, where possible, to support the manager during this rebuilding process

We did get non match day revenue from the shop but they sold/gave away that right, on season tickets easily said by Fisher a man who doesn't pay for his ticket.

I can only sit here and think that we are fucked while shaved monkey is in charge.

Interesting on the cup ticket it doesn't say home game but they have just said on twitter that it's home only

Be laughing if we get drawn away until Chelsea at home

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The only way it could work would be to win the early ties away and then get a home draw when the big teams enter

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

It grips my shit to actually agree with something you've said but this isn't a daft idea.

Right, I'm off for a shower, I feel all dirty now!

And you still didn't like my post.

You c**t.

 

[Gazolba]

I'm just not understanding all the furore over this.
If you think its worth it, buy one, if not, don't.
It's as simple as that.

Can I put that on my CV?

 

[no_loyalty]

Will we get cash back when Hoffman & Elliot complete their takeover?

 

[dongonzalos]

It's the lack of understanding that now more than ever the club need to win the fans over and come and get them back. There is a definite lack of understanding about how the fans feel at the moment.
People have been stung so many times a lot will wait to see how the season starts and what signings are made.
Which is a catch 22 as without the ticket sales the signings will be less.
What's required is an understanding of this feeling by SISU. A determination to do something about it. A cash investment to make the signings to convince fans. An extension of the early bird scheme. With a big marketing campaign on the back of the signings and a big deal made about the cash investment and backing MR.
Instead It just seems more of a case of they will buy tickets no matter what. Then when the shit has hit the fan. Release a statement and blame the deal we have at the Ricoh. Unfortunately most fans know we are stuck in that deal because the same people setting the prices for tickets screwed up the negotiating to buy ACL.
Poor running of the club again IMO

They'd still only have to give away 3k in a gate of 30.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

And you still didn't like my post.

Proof positive that your mouth does bleed every 28 days.

By the way, I did like your reply.

Have a lovely Easter, Kotex

Nah, nobody would be going surely?

Also into adulthood supporting a team in the bottom league he/she may want his excitement in other way and may drift away. Nothing wrong supporting a lower league side, just his mates at school, maybe, unless they are all City fans.

Whilst I get your cynicism I think it is a mistake to tag that cynicism onto kids who support Coventry City. Apologies if I'm wrong here but I have a feeling you are not a parent and you haven't seen the excitement on kids' faces at the JSB Christmas party or on a matchday. Come and sit next to me and my lad for a game and you will see how much he is in to Coventry City. We may well be a lower league side but to most kids that doesn't matter. They support who they support. My son's friend suppports Maidstone United and goes to see them every weekend with his dad. Yeah, there are Utd, Man City, Chelsea fans, etc in his class but they never go and watch real football. Sky is all they have.

Don't be so quick to dismiss our young supporters.

Spot on..... my son loves watching cov and regularly is walking around the house on a match day singing cov songs. He's still a proud fan regardless of our relations with owners and off the pitch dramas.

My lad has gone to football holiday club today as I have hospital appointments and he proudly wore his CCFC away kit - and his home one when he went yesterday. When I dropped him off he was the only one who wasn't wearing a Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona, Man City, Chelsea, Real Madrid kit, etc.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie]

As someone that has consistently posted that I would be renewing next season I'm now having second thoughts. At first I saw no real problem with the headline "Season Ticket Prices held" as I had seen that coming, there didn't appear to be any real option. All the pleas for better pr (i.e. improved bullshit), gifts (I've got 2 scarves already sodon't need another one thank you,),ow percentage reductions,were not likely to make any real difference to most people and would probably have now discernible impact on the numbers sold as most have already made their minds up. What really annoyed me was to find that my seat in block 37 had just been upgraded to Premium or whatever they call it with no apparent increase in benefits. Apart from the untruth in the headline what sort of incentive is that?

Why should I be forced into even considering these options? Do I cough up the extra just to continue watching the rubbish we've seen for most of this season, do I move to somewhere else in the ground or do I just say "bollocks" and end over 50 years of active support for CCFC?

That is child abuse and I'm reporting you to the NSPCC.

SkyBlueCharlie, I would never presume to tell you what to do but like you I have 50 years of support behind me and I know that I would not be able to end that over a few pounds and poor communication from the fools.
I would however contact them and let them know that they are penalizing you without consultation and you are not happy with it.
