I stand on the hill and dont watch the match some do
Fisher was right in a way. Fans have gone from boycotting matches in Northampon (Keep Cov In Cov, etc) to watching the match for free from the hill - as admitted by Michael from the Trust yesterday.
I just think sometimes some people need to step back and see what it actually is they are angry about, I'm not saying they are wrong to be angry.

Hahahaha SOME do..... you all fucking do!! Hense moving round 2nd half!!!
Why do people keep going on about attendance dropping??
Didnt the figures show the other day that MORE home fans are going each week and its been the away fans that have dropped?? Or did I dream that??
Honestly... its a real question!
I couldn't give a shit for what you think
2,204 v Bristol City
2,068 v PNE
1,789 v Colchester

But these aren't normal times are they? We are all CCFC fans and in normal times it is taken as a given every fan will want the team to win. However for a lot of fans there number 1 priority is to get the club back to where we all know it belongs, in Coventry. A lot ,probably most fans believe rightly or wrongly that the lower the attendance at Sixfields then the greater the chance of the club returning sooner. No business not just Hedge funds like to lose money, that is why the attendances are important to people. There will be no one monitoring the attendances more than Tim Fisher.Of course yes, I know our income depends on what we can pay in wages so obviously it would be very nice to have a packed out stadium and win every game I just meant that if I had missed a game or couldn't listen it I'd be asking "What was the score? Who scored? How did we play? Did we hammer them?" rather than "How many were on the hill? How many were there? How many free tickets?"

For the 1st time in 35yrs of watching City, I wont attend a single 'home' match in Northampton
Really? I couldn't care if we played in front of 10 or 55,000 as long as we won.
OK.. slight change of direction now with this......
After the last 2/3 years at the Ricoh I don't think its anywhere near as simple as once we get back everyone will be happy because the atmosphere was volatile as fuck some games. So my question is this....
Other than the obvious and moving back to Coventry. What do you all feel SISU would need to do in order for the fans to change their opinions and support them as owners?
What happens if we dont return to cov area and our name is changed but we are still winning ?
Then that would be totally different and I would agree with you but until it is signed and sealed or rock solid proof that we have moved for good then it is a temporary thing.
What if it just carries on and carries on with the promise still there to move back to the Coventry area, what if ten years down the line we are still playing outside of Cov?
You know the attendances are going down because of decreased away attendances right?2,204 v Bristol City

I'd prefer the club to play its home games in the city from which it takes it name from. Anywhere else just doesn't seem right.
Results are important. History, sense of belonging and tradition equally so.
For me, results don't seem as important as they used to. The longer this goes on, the less interest I seem to have in football in general. MOTD/FL show seems hollow and pointless this year. I find Im switching off and couldn't care less. Quite depressing really.

Bristol bough nearly 1300, Preston nearly 600 and Colchester about 250

If we keep playing well I could see attendances swelling to around 2500-3000 'home fans' throughout the season as it continues, especially if we get near the play offsLooks better than I thought. Do you have a further breakdown on any free tickets ?
900 vs Bristol
1400 vs Preston
1500 vs Colchester
Does it matter?? All of these attendances are still less than any acheived at the Ricoh and that includes Burton and Arlesley Town in the cups.
I'm not. I find it quite depressing that they're playing outside of Coventry in front of sub 2k crowds. Others on here seem to revel in it.
Did the attendance make you more proud than the actual score though? Some people I have seen just comment on the attendance and not the actual football being played.

I think the Telegraph claimed that city support had risen by about 400 on the first game. Then i think there was an additional 20 odd for the Colchester.
The police I spoke with outside the ground on Sunday said that actual numbers through the gate was less than the official attendance. Who's figures do you trust?

Strip out the away support and what are the figures?
