1. I can't believe they are pinning everything on a 100 to 1 shot
2. Even if Wasps went bump it doesn't mean they will get the stadium
3. I genuinely felt physically ill when I read that
Sue everyone until they win?
Wait until Wasps goes wrong, and they can pick up the ground even cheaper?
Go into partnership with Villa as their feeder club, and get a ground built for them in Merevale?
3. I genuinely felt physically ill when I read that
It was partly done to make another point, but Wasps moving here and supposedly improving CRFC by doing so, might give the football club ideas...

IMO it would add no more than 2.5-3k to the gate. The end of the day we're 20th in league and in real danger of relegation. "I'm not paying £22 to watch shit league one football, will be the excuse.
If people have got out the habit and found other things to do on Saturday, they're not likely to come back and get back in the habit.

fair enough , understandableIt's not an excuse it's a fact. Why would you pay £22 to watch shit league one football.
I hate how some fans think we should turn up every game to watch shit and lose every game. Winning football is always the biggest catalyst for increased attendances. For example if we stayed up this season and we were top 2 of league 1 by xmas next year with sisu in charge crowds would be 15k plus.
My opinion for this thread is for craigsba is I will always care about ccfc and always want us to win but the losses don't hurt as much and I am not arsed if I go or not as I am genuinely bored. It's so boring it's scary. I always want us to win and all that though and that will never go. The owners have taken the life out of the club and people simply don't care now. That's why fans don't go anymore it's because they don't care and haven't got a reason to go.
Give me one reason why we should all go and pay £15-24 to watch crap football and to haven't won at home for 3-4 months in the coldest months of the year? Other than being a city diehard then there isn't one.
It's not an excuse, it's a reason. One of the many reasons any reasonable owner would want to address. All the missing fans need is something to turn their eye. A decent team would be a good start but combined with new owners could be quite effective.

Yeah that's why we only got 10k for the fleetwood game £10 adults, £1 kids, I took 4 extras that day. There have been plenty of offers this season.

If if if if if.
If we don't get paying fans in, there's no money to invest in the team, if we don't invest in the team, then your struggle to have a winning team, less paying fans.
If we spent £10m on a striker, if we're too of the league by Christmas, if they give me a free ticket, if they chauffeur drive me to the game, then I might consider going....

That only proves that some people won't pay to go and watch shit regardless of how much you discount that shit.
I agree with the course of action new owners would take will affect attendances also , but my point is the vast majority of people claim they dont go because of sisu , so surely a decent upturn in attendances would be expected
Harsh in my opinion Stupot. People can only take so much, especially if you have kids and you are pretty much dragging them there.
I am having to drag them and my grandad there, and we have ST's.
It is shit, but it's a spiral of shit, and the bottom line is less paying customers = lower wage bill.

So cost has little bearing? Therefore moaning about the price is just enough excuse?

@ tisza......A sell out crowd for the return to the Ricoh against Gillingham. Immediately Fisher opened his big fat gob and says "We are still going to build our own Stadium. Next game the attendance dropped to 11k and 10k and.....I'll let you fill in the gates from there. I firmly believe gates would have been a lot higher. New owners and a definitive injection of funds to buy decent players would see us getting 18-22k gates easily, proggressing to the high20's if promotion is gained....Onwards and upwards with the right people in charge
I would think its more than just one REASON people aren't going from off field events, cost, crap football and the fact that SISU are still here.
I find it hard to believe that if SISU did one and the quality of football improved numbers wouldn't improve regardless of whether it's £10 or £22 pound a ticket.
You can keep blaming fans in imaginative ways until the cow's come home but it doesn't alter the fact that SISU are part of the problem not the cure.
Never said they weren't. But until someone buys the club off them, we're stuck with them.

I think that it's difficult to over-estimate the damage that the move to Northampton did.
It'll take a winning team to bring the crowds back, but even then I fear that it will be a slower recovery than many hope/expect.
@ Stupot07.....When SISU made the decision to come back to the Ricoh, I thought, along with 10's of thousands of fellow CCFC fans that they were finally going to do things for the good of CCFC....How many posters on here bought ST's on that same understanding? Many of my friends and family were going to give SISU one more chance, only to be kicked in the gonads by Fisher within 24 hours of our return. Crafty F**ker made sure of a couple of thousands more ST's and giant gate receipts from Gillingham game first before opening his f**king big gob. And YOU say it had nothing to do with the 11k gate the following week??? No disrespect mate, but, I think you need to get out more!

@ Stupot07 & Bennets Afro.........Are you both ST holders?
@ Stupot07 & Bennets Afro.........Are you both ST holders?
So if the team was top of the league and in a JPT semi final no one would go as there is a new ground being built?
Does anyone actually believe there's a new ground being built? People are staying away because SISU have made the club toxic from top to bottom for dozens and dozens if not hundreds of reasons. The new ground nonsense being a small part of it.
No they are staying away as there is no bandwagon to roll on. If new owners came a new excuse would be found.
SBK believes a new ground is being built and believes that's why people are not attending.
