abstaining fans (37 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

I did, what about the more goals we score , the further from the council house we play, you and him and the like ,are always moaning about fan unity , and at every opportunity you want knock and divide the fan base , why don't you just enjoy the football for a change, don't worry if people are missing the games its not your problem

you may have read what I said, but you clearly didn't understand it.

14k at the Ricoh - Wimbledon at home on a Tuesday night?

not even in the Premiership!

 

[señor Santiago]

A combined 355 posts in 13 years of membership. But had to discredit the idea of going to StAns.

Someone's rattled.

[Sick Boy]

There was a bloke on the phone in who said he didnt want to give the club money but last night he paid for iFollow and he is considering going to St Andrews but not because we are winning.

I'm not sure he would say the same if we had lost every game.

Heard that too, ridiculous!

 

[Sick Boy]

I made it up from Bristol last night without any trouble, enjoyed the game and went mental when we won. Being part of the crowd for these games and experiences is becoming something special. If I can do it from the 100 miles away you can do it from 20 with club assisted travel and cheap tickets. Give it a try.

Fair play to you!

 

[Liquid Gold]

fair play, I had a nightmare getting from Pool Meadow!

The worst bit was trying out the bar on the corner of the kop stand, left before getting served.

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Nope

Dont get it why would you not attend if you can. You support the team not the politics and whats the difference from going away

Typical so called fan who takes part in the phone in. I think they must ring up the calludon ctr and ask if anyone wants to take part

 

[covcity4life]

i reckon the way we playing and fact we top we could be looking at 14k on a saturday

maybe 11k on a tuesday

if back at ricoh

no point focussing on that though, lets just keep winning at st andrews

it doesn't bother me if people can't bring themselves to go just find it funny when those who are staunchly against going suddenly skew their original position because the teams doing well.

And again, it doesn't bother me, but I do find it amusing.

That was a joke last night. Luckily got there early and only had to wait about 5 minutes to get served but the people behind the bar had clearly never worked there before. It's been okay on the Saturday matchdays, not sure what the cock up was. Everything took an age.

I'd agree with that, but also depending on the number of away fans so I'd revise Wimbledon down to more like 9k & 12k

Heard that call also

Some of them are laughable.

 

[Grendel]

I’m not going. And I will not jump on the bandwagon. But when we return to Cov I’ll be there. The clue is in the team name. I can see the psyche of ‘every game an away game’ but the club continues to alienate the fans. 5k home fans at St Andrews last night. There would have been 14k at the Ricoh.

How do you work out we’d have 14,000? We had 11,000 for s midweek game against Portsmouth at a similar time last year and against Wimbledon on a Saturday it was 10,000

Obviously as it was a weekday and a fair travel I just wanted to get in and have a pint not enjoy the delights of Digbeth but that was awful. I might try it again if it's better on a Saturday.

What was refreshing was being able to park for free 2 minutes from the turnstiles.

 

[Tommo1993]

Haven’t changed my mind and I don’t even feel close to thinking about it tbh. That’s just the way it is. A temporary and hopefully quick blip in financial circumstances adds to it now as well. Never been NOPM - otherwise I wouldn’t buy shirts, iFollow or away tickets. I just choose not to go.

Exactly. Well said that man
Supporting City does not mean you support SISU
Those who are staying away are the only ones losing out. Their choice, of course.

I like the ones who get a bit bitter after we have a decent result. I can understand if people physically can't make it, it's more people who are spiting themselves and nobody else.

against Wimbledon ?
Not sure there would have been.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Anybody else make the link between Rab C Nesbitt and abstaining as soon as they looked at the title thread. Irony!

 

[bawtryneal]

I must say I really enjoy the match day experience at Stans
I couldn't go last night, as I am away on business, but have been to all the other home games.
Totally agree with Liquid Gold.
It is really sad that people who live in Cov or anywhere else for that matter do not make the trip due to "anti SISU reasons". Appreciate the elderly, those with family commitments or people with money reasons ( albeit no more expensive than the Ricoh) may struggle
This is completely different to Northampton.
Watch half of them jump on the band wagon if the success continues though.
As always, everybody entitled to their own opinion.

 

[Mcbean]

A45 was a bit of bitch last night but worth the stress !

 

[señor Santiago]

I support a team playing in coventry, not birmingham

The only difference is that B'ham is 20 miles away and Northampton 35 miles away. Sisu's mismanagement has left us in this position.
For that is why majority of fans will not go till we are back in Coventry or till sisu leave.

Funny, you were boycotting the Ricoh weren't you?

It's ironic that somebody appears after a year and a half to post in here and their last post was about MK Dons away.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

I used to travel to the Ricoh by car which was always a pain, but shifted to coach travel for St. Andrews which is much easier and not much difference in price...once you've added the cost of car parking in. So I find the whole St Andrews experience as positive, but would still like to see us back in Coventry BUT with a decent pitch! Not the ploughed field of the Ricoh last season

 

[coop]

Been a season ticket holder for years but never went to Northampton and didn't get a season ticket for St Andrews.But went to the Blackpool game as I was away for the rest but enjoyed the day and will be going to Doncaster game but can't warrant buying a season ticket again until we get back to Coventry which I believe will be sooner than we think.

gut feeling or inside knowledge?

The only ones suffering are themselves! Still buzzing from last night!!!

Me too

How many games did you watch at the Ricoh in the last few seasons.

 

[Grendel]

Given he said anyone who went was just allowing sisu to bleed the club dry my suspicion is he wasnt a regular

 

[Flying Fokker]

O p t i m i s m. Maybe 14 k stretching it but the premium of being high in the league would bring more in..the 40 k plus that went to Wembley for example. Maybe I’m overestimating the number not travelling to St Andrews as well.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

not been yet, watched every game on ifollow. watching the actual games is all that matters to me doesnt matter if in person or on tv

that said nothing quite like being there so hope to get to a game by end of october and see how i feel about st andrews

Oh my not been to a game? And has the temerity to question my ratings from the stand. Brilliant!

That's nice, but I don't understand why your particular profession prevents you from posting on here?...

I was surprised the crowd held up. With you wimping our Grendel. Lol. How’s the dog?
