In 48 hours time CCFC will have completed their first game at Sixfields. There are a lot who have said that the club would be dead to them the second we kick off in Northampton, with this now being a certainty how many still feel this way?
I personally feel a massive disconnect with the club. They no longer represent me or my home town community. This hasn't happened overnight - in fact crowds have been declining for a number of years now. It's not just about the Ricoh either, we have been massively living beyond our means and £1.2 million a year rent is not the only cause of this, in fact if the figures SISU quote are to be believed it is only a very small part of it. The club are now allegedly £70 million in debt and this is a millstone around our neck.
Maybe now is the time to start again and build a club with a sustainable future for our children and grandchildren. It won't be an easy thing to do but, for some people at least, it may be the right thing to do. At the very least we need to have a plan in place. I personally don't want to drift away to watching Man Utd on TV every week, and I don't want to adopt/takeover another Coventry club as my own - this is disrespectful to their existing fans and doesn't represent me. I need a club that represents me and my fellow fans, where we can sing all the songs we all know and love, and the only way to do this is to start our own.
