9 quid to watch Cov tomorrow (16 Viewers)

[dongonzalos]

It has been suggested on here on numerous occasions that the thirty thousand we got against Crewe was due to a combination of the 5 quid price and the chance of a trip to Wembley.

We now have a 9 quid price tomorrow, so I assume at least there will increase in attendance. Even by a tiny bit?

Unlikely. It's a Tuesday night and price isn't what's keeping people away.

Aren't you also forgetting that it's 70 mile round trip and no chance of wembley? Burton Albion JPT tie was only £5 and only 5,400 in attendance, where were the other 25k then?

If they offered me 9 quid to attend I'd still tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine

Your Burton comment fits exactly with what I believe that the price was not the significant factor. It was the fact that the first time for what seemed like an eternity Cov fans finally got a whiff of success.

 

[Mr T - Sukka!]

90% of Coventry City fans are not intrested. Its not the price its the principle. Its not in cov we dont go.

And as for those that knock the 30k against crewe the same moaning types that droan on about low CCFC attendences?

Sucessful clubs = more fans. Man up and deal with it.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

They could give them away for free to everyone in the city and it still wouldn't break 3k

 

[Colin1883]

It's not about cost...
It's about going to...

 

[Captain Dart]

If it was £5 I wouldn't go.

It's been £9 all season and is 34 miles away, thus the saving on the ticket price will be swallowed up in travel costs.

Have you got any more of these brilliant insights?

Why have you worded this as if it might not be true?

I've been given 4 complementary tickets for sixfields but i've used them in the toilet

Do you need to get a ticket to go to the toilet?

why did you accept them then you knobhead? Someone could have used them tonight to watch the team.

because like most of us we won't go to six fields support cov in cov why don't you

Perhaps he didn't want to encourage people to go along and support what sisu are doing to our club? Its bad enough that there are 1400 of you that are prepared to do it without adding another 4 to the list.

AndreasB - my support and love for the club goes back to the 1970s. there is no reason to play in Northampton its financial suicide and deliberately engineered to distress the fans, CCC/ACL into to trying to get the Ricoh complex on the cheap, SISU are unique in football club owners who deliberately reduce their support whilst others try to grow their fan base. If fans don't go on principle you need to review your stance. 1,000 home supporters in a crappy stadium in the third division and it could get worse.

I bet the young lads like Thomas, Fleck, Christie and co would be delighted to hear that.

 

[covcity4life]

its not 9 pounds though

you have to pay petrol or 7 odd quid for a coach

"Cov fans" in a nutshell there.

 

[covcity4life]

"Cov fans" in a nutshell there.

how so?

surerly its any fan in general?

OP is posting about how 9 quid tickets could increase attendances but in reality it is about 15 quid for a tuesday night game in northampton. it wont get more people in.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

£9 for a 3rd division game is a bargain these days......no one can deny that. Its cheaper than the last non-league game I went to FFS....

....so the club should be applauded for at least recognising that the few fans choosing to travel to sixfields have to bare higher travel costs.....

....just a shame its a 3rd tier game at someone elses 4th tier ground....

Fuck that.....I'll be spending £19 at Tranmere instead

"Cov fans"

This is awful enough when aimed at the people who go, let's not start a two-way thing now.

"they" started it.

 

[dongonzalos]

My point really is that some dismiss the 30k we got against Crewe.
Part of this dismissive attitude is based on the fact the price was 5 quid.

I think that that is rubbish and had very little impact. It was mainly because Coventry fans so often starved of success were finely getting some.

The 5 quid would have an impact but not as much as the chance to finally see Cov win something for the first time in nearly 30 years!

If cost was so important a drop to £9 quid would see some rise in attendance.

As some people still go to Sixfields despite travel time and costs.

Yet it won't lead to an increase in attendance as it was not a critical factor when we got the 30k a taste of success was.

Which shows the potential we have in the city with owners with a genuine ambition for success.

 

[ajsccfc]

So don't drop down to that level? People going or not doesn't make anyone somehow lesser than anyone else with all the turmoil that's going on.

Maybe it was a combination of factors of potential success/Wembley final and the low ticket price that led to the full stadium and not just one or the other

.....or it just shows how fickle the casual majority of our fan base are......take your pick on how you wish to interpret it really....:thinking about:

I would say it was but I would say the ticket price had minimal effect. As Stu rightly pointed out the previous £5 price brought a 5 k attendance.

I will pick that in 30 years possibly only 3-4 seasons have they been given a genuine expectation of a achieving something. This was one of those moments.

 

[dongonzalos]

It wears every club down eventually I think Leeds may have only averaged around 20k last season.
I am sure many would consider them some of the most loyal fans going?

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Its also worth considering the fact that passion for a particular game can be highly contagious.....

.....A recent example of this is the 7000 strong SBA that went away to Franchise FC......why did we sell so many for a bog standard league game at a "club" with no class, no history and one which we city fans have no interest or rivalry with.....

...weird!

 

[torchomatic]

No, he isn't forgetting, he's making a "point". I couldn't agree more though regarding the JPT tie at the Ricoh, where was everyone that night? That wasn't 35 miles away.

Aren't you also forgetting that it's 70 mile round trip and no chance of wembley? Burton Albion JPT tie was only £5 and only 5,400 in attendance, where were the other 25k then?

You'd need the attendance for a full price semi-final to make any kind of real comparison on that to be honest. The occasion was certainly a draw, but at the same time I saw people who wanted to go who ordinarily wouldn't have bothered at full whack.
