Hey why have they bothered to respond haven't to all the other things that are put their way
Such as

New sponsors within 2 weeks
Ground for building 3 sites 1 preferred in the final negotiations within a month
Plans for the new ground.

The other thing they said that I don't believe is that the City fan attendance increased from 1000 to 1500. I think it stayed the same, otherwise they are saying Bristol City took 1200 fans to the opening fixture & we know that is bollocks..

Why is it bollocks out of interest? It is a matter of recorded fact that Bristol City took 1200 to the opening fixture.

I don't doubt the club when they say the increase was down to more people paying on the day. Were two very hefty queues outside. It's irrelevant though, as 1500 is still a travesty however you look at it. No need to invent silly conspiracies though.

There are free tickets I can get 2 for every game if I want

so 500 people in a queue is hefty hope it doesn't rise much more may have to delay the game to allow all the masses in now that would be a Travesty.

What? What is the matter with people on here?

It was just an observation; the queues were big, some people missed kick off - hence you got the impression that they had been caught by surprise (some of the officials were flapping), so when the club say more people paid on the day than last time I suspect that is the truth. That's all I'm saying, that the increase in the number of home supporters was probably down to a tiny bit more interest for this game, which we all expected anyway, and not because they have been leaving free tickets in phone boxes around Northampton.

just as a note, i spoke with three persons who are resident within the n'hampton area,
two of which got free tickets,
it would therefore appear that more 'smoke & mirrors' abound,
i'd personally guess @ approx 600 CCFC fans,
it's just not acceptable that fans cannot watch their team within their own vicinity,
i further. wonder why all local businesses in Coventry have not come together to challenge sisu for loss of income

You 'guess' despite the fact you were not there. More conspiratorial guff.

Why the utter paranoia?!?

The gates are still shit, the gates would still be bigger in the right city... it's hardly a shocker more go if the team plays well!

 

[georgehudson]

so, let's not address the problem then,
but, on a personal note, as a supporter of 50+ yrs,
i would find it extremely difficult to get to n'hampton & back,
'ferrett' i do not deal in conspiratorial guff,
i hope i speak on behalf of Coventry supporters,
when i say that playing 34 miles away is farcical & only serves to further the aims of certain parties who have their own agenda,
PUSB
OUR agenda should surely be Coventry in Coventry
