Don't be silly
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?
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.
5 quid ticket made all the difference to JPT semi, no way it would have sold out if not for that pricing.
Agree, did you see some of the types that turned up for JPT games?
I bet the young lads like Thomas, Fleck, Christie and co would be delighted to hear that.
What kind of types were they then?
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?
Rough types, ferral children mostly.
"they" started it.
Taxi for Fernando
Prices cut from last season to encourage fans following move from Ricoh Arena
Sixfields Stadium
Coventry City have confirmed travel and car parking plans for their ‘home’ matches at Sixfields Stadium this season – as well as matchday ticket prices.
Matchday tickets at the Northampton venue range from £13 to £18 for adults, from £9 to £13 for concessions, and, for Junior Sky Blue members, from free for under-sevens to £5. The prices have been cut from last season as the club try to win over fans following the move out of Coventry.
no SISU started it you are only making it worse by supporting them
Have got the banners sorted for tonight Andreas?
Didn't he mean midweek games? I always thought they were cheaper than the weekend ones?
Tell me you're joking
What are you talking about :facepalm:
Maybe it is but the Crewe match was a midweek fixture as well.
So if price was such a critical factor in getting us 30k then.
I would expect that we will see some increase in attendance tonight with a reduced £9 fee.
(Which we will not)
I believe Andreas was taking the p*ss.
His comment made me laugh.
I agree, I don't think it is just about price.
I don't doubt a lot of people won't ever go to Sixfields but I do think there are people who would but can't.
Whether they can't get there, are disabled etc but they physically cannot get to Sixfields I think the club should have been targetting these from the start. You can't expect some OAP's to travel and then walk to the ground. I would have run a coach for cost (couple of quid each) that dropped them off next to Sixfields with a cup of tea on the way and a video of 1987 to get them in the spirit.
Ive only been a fan for 10 years - when we have been shit.so obviously you are more qualified than me to know whats right and wrong. I have reviewed my stance, I dont like Sixfields but i will continue to proudly go and protest from the inside and will encourage others to do so.

About protesting inside or feral kids?
Both comments were hardly side splitting comedy ???

It's very sad really when consider people like that who previously that Saturday afternoon would have been the highlight of their week.
Poor buggers
Doesn't matter how long to be fair, you are as entitled to your opinion as much as a fan of 60 plus years. But I'm interested on what you do to protest inside the ground, and what encouragement you give to others? Is it vocal, "KCIC" sort of thing? Do you hold up banners "why" "when" etc? How do you stop the stewards from ejecting you when you protest, or are they sympathetic to our cause?

And the other game at £5 that got a 5k attendance.
It was a chance to finally get see Cov win something.

About feral kids. It was a joke. Jesus some people are just too fekking serious, get a sense of humour.
It was ironic, I was there, I presume you actually attended a game rather than posting your whimsical thoughts on the internet and it wasn't full of feral kids...so it was a joke. Lighten up sunshine.
of course it being a semi final mattered too,but dont kid yourself it was gonna sell out without fiver price, also the same tickets gave priority to getting tickets for wembley,that was huge.
I was sat there possibly right beside you. You are falling into Andreas' trap of stereotyping now.
I don't think it was a joke I think it was he or she's genuine thoughts. I don't actually have a problem with them.
But I genuinely did not know which was supposed to be the piss take comment. I have not heard about any protests in the ground i am interested
However still think the ferrel kids comment is hardly comedy genius. You need to watch Father Ted it will expand your horizon.

Exactly. It is people who would love to go but physically can't the club should be targeting and should have from the start. People might say it is "desperation" but it would have softened the blow.
They should have also done something for any disabled fan + carer who was at the Ricoh to help them out.
