Yes because having had years of misery since relegation from the premier league it sounds exciting - I'd be lying if I said otherwise.
Not hard to work out if you have half a minute. Anyone not aware of what's going on is a sandwich short of a picnic
According to Northants Police, there were 1648 Coventry fans inside the ground. Dont know how many were paying or complimetary tickets,but the Police figures differ from the clubs numbers....again!!!!
I know who I believe!! PUSB
Understanding the reasons is completely different from understanding how somebody has arrived at that reasoning. Fact is, for most football fans, the idea of supporters choosing not to support their team is totally counter-intuitive. There really isn't much sympathy out there - and to those not all that interested (that's most supporters) it does look like we have given up.

Those Loyal to the Northampton Second Team will not be responsible for bringing Coventry back to Coventry. It is the stay away fans who will influence it.
So you suggest that we all flock to Sixfield and the watching football world thinks- "My My, Coventry fans are happy to groundshare?- what a jolly decent bunch they are"
*Edit thats if 'all of us' could actually get into Sixfield (based on last years home average attendance).
I hoped to come on here and talk about the game
Given how well the team are playing, I'm amazed at how low the attendances are staying.
No, I suggest we go there to cause a fuss. Get the issue into the news. A few publicity stunts and creative protests. Make Fisher feel a bit more uncomfortable on matchdays rather than all the backslapping he is enjoying at the moment, his smile gets bigger every week. Keep the issue fresh in everyone's mind. What is happening is that 2000 are turning up and a few others 200 yards away on a grass verge - that situation looks set for the rest of the season. The issue has gone away, nobody is talking about it (outside the club), and it will carry on like that until SISU crumble - I reckon it'll be 3 years. If everyone is willing to wait for that then fine. Besides, I have long since lost this argument, and just sound like a parrot. I hoped to come on here and talk about the game, but have become embroiled in the same old arguments again.
I don't care what anyone else thinks - I never do about anything.
Define 'Fuss'.. sorry not being pedantic but what else can we mere mortals do....vote with feet, withholding cashflow is the ultimate "fuss" isnt it?
In the ground? I don't know, fans turn their back on the game for first 10 minutes - that would receive some publicity and would make a good photo opportunity. Another game everyone wears black. Next game we all launch toilet rolls onto the pitch. Another a peaceful pitch invasion and at all others large banners and visible signs of discontent - stuff that can clearly be seen on TV during goal highlights. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud and some of it might be silly - but this sort of stuff would be noticed and perhaps would focus minds more than a boycott.
Sisu came into football to make money ,if they can not they will leave
Does anyone come in to football to make money? It's the only business model in the world were people expect the business to lose money year on year. Very few if any make money from football.
I'd rather have on that I can understand!
I'm surprised at how it's increasing. Alot more people behind the goal today. That's where the noise is coming from.
Doesn't matter if gates went up 1000 it is still a financial mess for sisu never mind what they say, Gate went up about 200 Saturday if all adults that's about £4k had it been at the Ricoh given the recent decent results I think it would have gone up about 2000, that's £40000. + the extra revenue for a 12000 gate. Despite what Fisher says this costing sisu plenty. The continued silence from Fisher proves it.

Back on thread.....sorry.....
I wonder if there is a bit of local interest creeping in, from around the Northampton area? It must be tempting to have a peep, attractive football and plenty of goals? From years gone by, we used to pull in support from the western sides of Northampton and its county.
A part of me suspects this may be one of Fisher's hopes, that having reduced outgoings to a minimum, we have an attractive team that generates local interest, and any success in this division would result in a boost in income without added expenditure- how many millions is promotion worth?
Could we become a yo yo team between these two leagues, and generate a healthy profit? A bit like WBA only a division lower?
Just to drive it home. Only Dagenham had a lower crowd than us at the weekend. & Cambridge and Grimsby in the Conference had much bigger crowds.
Just stay away City fans. Money talks. The only language Sisu know.
At this rate Nuneaton will have bigger crowds soon.
Stay away? Is that from Northampton or just sixfields?
