Why slag off fellow fans and the majority of the support base of the club you claim to support?

They dropped it by £50 this year and it sent ripples round Bradford. They got a 50% increase in season ticket sales. At the time of the deduction they rejected bids for their players and made some very early quick decent signings.
The option and the price drop did the trick. Create the same environment we would get the same result .

Negative is trying to pick fault with anything they can to do with the club isn't it?
It's funny how you never appear on the jsb kids party threads for example or a thread about the club doing something well, as you are so positive about the club and all.
The club have dropped their prices a fair whack, our season tickets are third cheapest in the league. Is the playing budget in the bottom three?
Surely positive would be " fair play this is a great price, well done the club" rather than saying it should be even cheaper to get the amazing fans to go.

Because they claim to support the club and then don't turn up.

Which player was that? The one who lived closer to bradford?

Ours dropped by over £100 in some areas of the ground, it doesn't happen in one season. It took Bradford 8 years of hard work in which for most of it they struggled to achieve these sales figures.

Fans turn up. Stay aways who can't be arsed unless the good times return aren't fans at all.

It's not a claim to support anybody, it's a fact, hence my season ticket is sat waiting to be used.
Why spend so much time trying to be negative and put the club you support so much down?
Oh now it's back to majorities, the majority of coventry city fans are the ones who don't bother?

They were 10 points off 6th with 4 to play.
Also they offered that particular player more money than we do, doesn't necessarily mean they have a bigger budget, TM had said he wants to save as much money as possible for strikers, perhaps he didn't feel that player was worth the extra couple £100 a week that Bradford were offering? Doesn't necessarily mean we couldn't have afforded it. Their turnover can't be far off ours so I doubt their wage bill is any bigger than ours.

Well I am sure they will be happy that they have now been judged by the super fan.
Do they go to you for their super fan t shirt when they prove themselves worthy.

Yes you are right that they may have felt he was worth more money than TM did. Although TM was very miffed and it was suggested the player was one of his main targets.
Yes they were close towards the end have a friend who is a Bradford fan. Then they fell apart.

Nobody has said they are a super fan have they?
People like italia love a moan and get stick, the club can't do right for wrong but fair play to them they are first in line for a season ticket. He may have posted he was giving up every week but least he's bothering to get down to watch the team!
It's the people who moan about investment, set demands before they will bother to get off their arses and go.

No they just need to turn up as often as is possible for them.

So they are judged by you and Grendel now. Maybe they could get a hat as well as a t shirt when they pass your worthy fan tests.

No, no need for them to do that. Just turn up as often as possible for them.

The test is to attend games and support the team which by league one standards is good value.

The test is nothing to do with price, as it is not unreasonable, but to overcome the overwhelming sentiment of doom and gloom brought about by endless years of mismanagement.
Pubs, clubs that used to be really busy are now half empty and in some cases closed forever. These are where loads of fans would drink and talk about the games. It's a sign of the times, but some decisions made by management past and present have put us into a totally different category to most other clubs.
Someone does an Aldi challenge....Sainsburys never get that £400 monthly shop again.
It's only with some form of real excitement on the pitch that will see sustained attendance increases; colossal investment needed if we are to return to the big time. PUSB

The owners have based wage budgets on income .but income is decreasing because of lack of Investment. Not rocket science.

OK let's end this petty argument as most some of us are never going to agree. Let's speak about something which is up for debate:
I've often heard Coventry described as not a 'footballing city'. Why does everyone think this is is the case? Has it always been like this or just over certain periods of time? Is there anything the club can do to improve it? What makes Coventry different to similar cities like Leicester and Southampton where you'd argue they support their local team better?

...they are both in the Premier League and don't have owners like us. It's not rocket science.

This is one thing I genuinely don't know so not saying it is fact. What are their relationships like with their local media?
I remember that Leeds game, it was all over the radio and all over the Telegraph to get down and support their team and every possible outlet was persuading people to get down to the Ricoh. In Leicester for example are their press fully behind the team as much as possible? Could that also make a difference?

Weren't Leicester in League One and have had some dodgy owners?

But Leicester and Saints would have bigger crowds if they were in the same position as us now?

Yep, I think they would. Southampton were in an awful position in there first league one season and were still drawing in 20k.

No top 6 finish for 45 years and 1 top 10 finish in 26. There's your answer right there.

Depends what you mean by a footballing City.
A succesful team will draw the crowds like any other team.
A continuously loading one in decline will not. Also like any other City.
Coventry is no different to any other city. To say any different is not only stupid, inaccurate but also very negative.

You keep going on about being negative, can you really not see that finding as many reasons as you possibly can for somebody to not go and watch the team they support is negative? I am pretty sure most of the people you accuse of being negative about their team are the ones going up there every week and actually supporting. It doesn't make sense.

I think the difference was when they went down the owners did everything in their power to get them out of the league ASAP - in the right direction, that is UP to the championship not down to L2. What did ours do? Started a massive row with ACL, CCC. Higgs Charity, fans, lost a good manager in Robins, then took us to Northampton. I think getting as many as we do is testament to how good, in fact how GREAT some of our fans are.
I still have not forgiven SISU and if they want me back, either give me some hope that CCFC has regained some ambition, and start to act like a football club, not school kids, or pee off!
