With the club on its knees you'd think there would be 30,000 'diehards,' showing they cared about their club. It's a lot to ask isn't it? Supporting your team. Get off your arses and stop making excuses.

"The Jimmy Hill era was wonderful. We were innovative, successful and had huge crowds." RME said this. Agree with him. Enjoyed Wally and Ferguson era too. Any game Hutchy played in. And that brief spell in 1981 was it, Danny Thomas, Gillespie etc. Loved Cup Final era obviously, but 1980s in...

Coundon, Bill, Monkey face, City aren't a product. It is a football team. Don't you feel an emotional bond with the team? They aren't the cinema, theatre, rock concert. It is 11 players trying to stop the other 11 from doing their job. If you see it as a product you're always going to be...

Coundon, Sisu (much as I dislike them) didn't tell 10,000 fans to go away. Those fans deserted the club. There is no other word for it. They weren't loyal. I wish they were. But it proved otherwise. I'm just fed up hearing excuses from City 'fans.' The real cost for local fans to watch their...

Rob, no you got me wrong. Didn't take offence. Not at all. Could see yr wink! Cheers.

Rob, in the interests of balance thought it only right to give credit where it is due. I'm no fan of the way the club has been run a lot of the time, but I don't go in for 'banter' about individuals at the club - 'banter' in my eyes is usually abuse from the safety of a keyboard. (Not suggesting...

John Clarke, the guy who brought £750,000 sponsorship money to the club via City Link, that John Clarke.

This from Sky Blue Pete. "All true that if 10000 more turned up the situation would be very different!!" How right you are Pete.

Cheers Deano.

There is a nice easy solution to most of CCFC's money woes. Instead of 10,000 fans turning up, why can't - say - 15,000 armchair fans (who say they are supporters but who rarely show up) - LOCALS WHO CHOOSE NOT TO - try supporting their club? 15,000 at say £12 a go - that's getting into about...

Mr Trench, I know Macavity was a fictional cat? A criminal cat? But you'll have to expand on your enigmatic response. You've got me foxed (in a very Coventry City FC way). Right off to the game. Anyone else going?

Skybluepete, share your feelings. Trouble is City supporters don't do support very much. When the team needs them they're not there.

Neither do I. You're still a prize prat. Obnoxious to everyone. And it seems not much of a supporter either.

Fernando - you dickhead. Can't you read? Here is its for you again, try it nice and slowly. "I'm talking about the local fans, not Brighton or Cumbria etc, who CHOOSE not to go."

JoyDivision, I don't post much. Have a look at my other comments on this topic. All the time I'm calling for the stayaway fans to support their team. They don't. Sick to death of people coming up with reasons why not - and then telling everybody what loyal supporters they are - while sat at...

zzzzzzz, another excuse. Useless stayaway fans.

Liam may get over enthusiastic at times (very young lad?) but I like his passion for his club. He has a point. We have too many stayaway fans who cite all the reasons under the sun why they aren't there, helping the team when they most need it. I'm talking about the local fans, not Brighton or...

Fennells was in Lower Precinct in 1960s. & there for a long time too.

Call me stupid, but if CCFC have paid about £800,000 to play at the Ricoh this year - according to King Harvest - (wherever the money has come from) - isn't that just a tiny bit over the top for a THIRD DIVISION club?

Liam, think the problem is for most of us fans is that we don't know the facts. We don't know who to believe. It isn't black and white. 3 months ago most would have said SISU OUT - no problem. And they do seem to have acted badly in not paying even just a bit of the rent. Think most of us agree...
