Anyone now thinking of jacking the whole thing in? (1 Viewer)

Sadly, many hudreds are doing just that, this forum only represents a minority of fans.

I know of at least 10 season tickets holders who havent renewed and hardly even follow the club any more.

Which, contrary to Torch's melodramatic assertion, IS what I said would happen.

Sisu have been catastrophic for the club, fans and city and have yet to demonstrate that they have learnt the first thing about running a club.
Ignorance is acceptable but an unwillingness to learn is not.

Which is bollocks for one reason - the likes of you never go anyway and never will - unless of course you have a sniff of Wembley - you went to the Crewe game didn't you - you were fishing on here for a lift.

Why is it bollocks? SISU have been catastrophic for our club. You'd just rather judge other fan's with petty put downs without even knowing if they're true or not than face the reality of what SISU's tenure has done for our club.

Its bollocks because dadgad falls into a group of supporters like GPE who preach non attendance as a badge of moral superiority. Yet the truth is they wore the badge long before sisu showed up and will continue to do so long afterwards. Yet the sniff of success and the badge just gets lost for a day.

I can't stand the bloke (I assume its a bloke) to be honest a couple of years ago he decided to call all Ricoh season ticket holders worms. For personal reasons (not me) I find that intolerable and upsetting actually and he never has once I believe apologised.

So he can fuck off.

So does that make him wrong when he says that SISU have been catastrophic for the club. Why answer the question when there's an opportunity to put someone down. Pathetic.

Yeah it does because he'd be crawling up their arse begging for a ticket if Wembley came along and bleating of he didn't get one. Oh and he never gets of his arse to watch a game and hasn't done for years before sisu were here.

You seem very supportive of him. Perhaps you think MMM OSB last etc are worms as well. I guess you must.

Still dodging the question and now also trying to belittle me by deciding what I do or don't think of other posters.

Yet again pathetic.

I've answered the question. .

He is lying he doesn't care he doesn't support the team.

Do you think he was right to call CCFC fans worms or are you dodging that far more important question?

You think one fan calling other fans worms is a more important question than the effect SISU have had directly on the club. How strange. Especially as you've called fans worse.

You keep dodging the important questions though.

You guys - in another life, you'll end up as a pair of married Leicester fans !!

to be honest it's hard to say at this point whether SISU have been catastrophic or not.... it certainly appears to have gone badly, but I guess we won't know for at least 5-10 years, when hopefully we are on a much firmer footing as a club (I say hopefully, as whether we will or not remains to be seen)....

lets not forget we all thought Brian Richardson et al were The Messiah not so long ago, and look how that has panned out.......

At least that appeared good at the time and then got worse, this appears shit, and it keeps getting worse.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Supporting since 1952 as a 10 year old I now say the excitement has gone, the passion is no longer there. An all time low in all my 62 years supporting the Bants, sorry Sky Blues. Will the excitement and passion return ? I doubt it. Football used to be a working mans game, affordable and fun. Now fooball has just become another business with rip off prices. I no longer look forward to a game, if we lose, so what ? I don't really care, whereas I used to feel sick and deflated at a defeat and excited for days when we won. As I said, I don't really care anymore. The excitment and passion has gone.

 

[Gazolba]

Surely as a fan there has to be the hope of better times ahead doesn't there? If you have no hope of any positive future at all then it's all rather pointless.

I'm a fan but not a supporter since I can never go to a game as I live too far away. I will always follow CCFC as long as they exist and look for their result every time they play and follow the text commentaries when available. I don't expect CCFC to get back to the Premier League in my lifetime or win any more cups. A 'positive future' for me is an unexpected win, a last-minute equalizer, a good gate or a hat-trick by a CCFC player. Little things like that. I count myself fortunate to have witnessed CCFC achieve two promotions with the finest teams we have ever had. However, I don't believe those days will return for a very very long time, if ever.

I am confident that they have been a disaster, if putting a club on a firmer footing means slashing costs but also losing massive amounts of revenue as well as 7 seasons of poor league form including a relegation not sure its much of an achievement

For them not to have been catastrophic requires them to leave the club in the following state:

To be at least a mid table Championship side.

To be the anchor tenant in a Coventry Stadium under a stable tenancy agreement with at least 40 years left to run, or better.

To have average attendances of 20k or better.

Too matter to the lives of the supporters.

For sisu to achieve that (considering the hostility towards them) would put them in the category of best owners in the history of football. Therefore I am cynical of them not being catastrophic.

It is not worth it Skybluetony176.
The bloke's a sad case....
We can but hope that in the forseeable the club can put a smile back on the faces of all fans.

The club has gone massively backwards on their watch, no mistaking that. That 100% stake in ACL is set to go elsewhere for a knockdown price, which means SISU's masterplan of busting ACL has worked for a 3rd party rather than themselves. We were an average Championship team when they came in, we are now a truly bog standard League 1 team. We used to be tenants to the council and a local charity, now we are tenants to a formerly London based rugby club. We used to have crowds of 15-20,000 a week, now we're barely managing 10,000.

By any stretch of the imagination that is awful. However it isn't the on or off-field issues that make me more or less likely to go to watch. The people you meet on away days, all going for the same masochistic experience that is watching CCFC, makes it worth it. Although seeing us win for a change would be nice as well.
