Had quite a bit of enthusiasm for this season but of course in a typical Coventry way it’s looking like a dumpster fire of a season could be ahead. For once it’s not even our own doing. Sure, on the pitch we’re still making the same mistakes and haven’t recruited amazingly but I was still optimistic that we could push on and thanks to the shithole wasps it looks like a season of off the field bullshit is back.

I think we’re all fed up with the situation, but supporters asking for a refund on a ST is hardly going to help MR and the team.
However, if you do intend to not attend any matches…. Can you stop your wind up

Think we’ll be in a relegation battle this year. Our defence is just so sub par and the ‘improvements’ we’ve made haven’t made the greatest first impression. Beyond our first XI we look very weak.

I bought my ST because I wanted to watch games in Coventry - as much as I love the team it wasn’t an act of charity. If they don’t give me what I paid for then why should I pay?

We have a choice!!! I have a choice. I can allow the situation to temper my enthusiasm or I can try that bit harder to find the positive and pursue the good

I would just like some truth from the club for once...
Is it 'incremental progression' or is it 'we have reached a ceiling'. It can't be both.
And if its the latter, what the fuck is the plan for the club? Cycle us through the lower leagues again?
And what of Joy's 'we have ambitions for the Premier League and beyond' remark? If the model fails at championship level how is that ever possible? Income streams I hear her reply! Put a spade in the ground at Warwick Uni before you mention that again please Joy!
Next summer is pivotal for us in terms of contracts and rebuilding. I can only hope by then we have:

Next summer is pivotal for us in terms of contracts and rebuilding. I can only hope by then we have:
- Made it through this season without relegation.
- New owners.
- Some sort of interest in the CBS.
- A decent pitch to play on.

Agree with a lot of your points, but realistically the number of clubs who have hit their ceiling in his league is probably in the mid teens (minimum) . Owners are not going to state that for the fans, even if it's true. That may change when parachute payments stop/change.

I think the off the pitch problems are much worse than on the pitch. We played well yesterday and it was our own silly errors that gave the game away, i think that is fixable.

At least reply with your own script. Did you copy other peoples work for all your exams too?

Fully understand that many fans will want a refund for their season ticket if we don’t play in Coventry. I must admit and it’s probably naive, when I buy a season ticket, it’s more my commitment to the club. I try and make as many games as I can but will probably miss ten or so. If I missed all 23, I’d still get one next year. It’s my club (however much pain and trauma it causes) and I feel I owe them more than turning the screw in their hour of need

Obviously the pitch and general off the field bullshit is heartbreaking, but as far as on the field (lol) goes at this point I’d say the squad is stronger than last season…
Gyokeres is a different player, Panzo I think is an upgrade on JCS, Bidwell looks better than last year, and sheaf looks a class act.
If it stays that way end of the transfer window I’d say that’s pretty solid.
Just trying to be optimistic…fuck knows we’ve got enough to be negative about

I agree - we just need to win a few games to get a bit of momentum for our season

I watched the game again today cause I was pretty pissed yesterday watching.
We honestly could’ve scored 2 or 3 goals after we went level, and won 5-2. Feels like one of the handball shouts too could’ve been legit.
I saw enough in the performance yesterday to be optimistic - we were definitely the better side. Couple of stupid individual errors and some bad luck

Yep my thinking exactly. After Tuesday we would be 3, 4 or even 6 extra points better off and be comfortably mid table. It’s hard not to speculate and conflate the two issues but until/unless it’s confirmed that we have to move, or that we won’t have a home game for another six weeks or more, we have to separate on and off the pitch.

Robins has always said first target is survival and it has to be. Yes we want to progress but consistency in this division puts us a) in the shop window and b) gets the finances up.
It's early doors, there's alot of shit off the pitch but we can't let it affect results or our league status

So why is it that some clubs (Brentford for example) did not hit a ceiling in the Championship?
Are they bigger than us? Better supported? No.
The truth is that where the ceiling comes is a choice each club makes; ours choose to give MR a bottom 5 budget and hope for the best.

I like 13000 other people put our money UPFRONT to see 23 games played at CBS Stadium if that cannot be achieved the club will be well short of cash. I feei there will be a long queue behind me demanding a refund might just finish SISU.

I'm not sure it would finish SISU off, they'll only cut the budget to match whatever funds the club generates. They've done that before

In turn, Robins calls it a day. Which would be fair enough.
I was pissed off after the first home game being called off but on holiday so can't see a game until 31st August.We have played two league games away and should really be on 4 points as yesterday we should of won quite easy as the team in general played really well .But I think momentum is a great thing.I think losing Callum before the start hasn't help but it's hardly I want a refund every game you should of watched people will get to see them just maybe a shitty Tuesday night instead.
