And that's a City supporter.

Valiant - did you enjoy your holiday recently? While City had a home game.

It might help if there were a few more fans turning up. More gate receipts, more in the coffers to be able to meet his terms. I'm no lover of Sisu but the fans have to play their part.

Hey, an idea. How about a few more fans got off their sofas and supported the club and made the possibility of signing Goldie just that much more likely. 8,800 people turning up is not going to do it.

It's the old main stand. Someone rightly pointed out that it was burnt down in 1968. The Sky Blue stand was partly built up in the summer of 1964 after we won promotion from Division 3 (the division we are in now). For quite a while the next season the stand was used part unfinished. I have some...

Coundon, you seem to see your team as 'a product.' Surely not? Did I ask anyone to roll over for SISU? Don't think so. But they don't play on the pitch. I probably dislike them as much as anybody. Though they seem to be making more of an effort to turn things around lately. Shoe blacks? What's...

Osprey, I've missed 3 City home games since 1959 and go to many, many away games. Yes in this instance (with respect, you are a decent bloke I'm sure) you are a crap supporter. You're letting your team down. As I'm sure many others will today. Yep I'll criticise absent fans wherever they are...

Coundon, I'd like the ones that don't turn up to - turn up. And support their team. Not a lot to ask is it? You are either a supporter or you are not. Calling a Coventry city match a 'non event' is a hanging offence in my book. This wishy washy attitude to 'supporting' the team is a major...

The fact that Black60sprey called a Coventry City FA Cup match a 'non event' speaks volumes for the problem our football team faces. You ought to be ashamed to talk of 'your' team in that way. What kind of 27 seasons long support is that? What kind of hope do Coventry City FC have with that kind...

"I don't think you'd see many more turn up if it was free. Its a non event." And that's a real supporter?

Percy, brilliant. thank you.

cov1987 is spot on. Where's his solidarity with his team mates? Poor attitude. Good prospect but he should be with his own team.

Norman Binns - Alf Tupper - the tough of the track. Nice one. In all the doom it made me smile.

One or two are twisting words here. I said the daytrippers who live locally and who CHOOSE not to come to support City, are not supporters at all. Nothing to do with who is better than who. Just that they aren't supporters, full stop. NOT supporters at all, geddit? Of course they don't care what...

The posts on this thread really back up the notion that Coventry City FC really do have some of the worst 'supporters' in the country. These part time, fair weather fans aren't supporters at all. I'm talking about the locals who choose not to come, as I laid out in my earlier post. They are the...

We have effing useless fans. Lots of daytrippers who just DON'T SUPPORT the team when they need it most. I'm talking about the LOCALS around the City. Say within 10 miles. Effing useless. Sick of hearing the excuses. It isn't OK to try and say you support a team when you CHOOSE not to turn up...

If the fences hadn't been there all those people would have got over the wall to safety. If the thugs hadn't behaved the way they did the fences would never have been erected. The logic is blinding. Anyone who has been involved in football thuggery must bear part of the blame.

Evans is right, a lot of fans under estimate how potentially big we could be. Don't the 34 years in the top division mean anything. The 80s in football were pretty bad in terms of attendances. Every club suffered. Two reasons, unemployment and thugs ruining our game. Fences up everywhere. I...

Rich, this entertainment thing. I don't get it. Cinema is easy, see what you're saying but the actors don't have 11 blokes trying to stop them acting. To me football is a kind of battle. High skill and flowing football would be ace, but often it doesn't happen. We rejoice in a good tackle, a...

Rich, you are entitled to do what you want of course - but let me understand correctly you are a 'moderator' on this forum and you don't go to games? What's all that about? The Sisu thing? Agoraphobia?
