I was one that was moaning about matchday ticket prices , saving £5-6 match minimum is a very good deal , the club have done right with this , and there are no more excuses in my book to blame price as a factor in not going£17 a match, can't go wrong!
Some people on sociall media still moaning thats it over a tenner , we have a fanbase that emulates the attitude of people at a car boot sale
Links to what , people moaning ?Got any links?

I specifically said the price is no longer an excuse , i do understand that life is not all about footballWhat makes no sense to me is the idea that people need an 'excuse' not to go. It's not like you need to get a sicknote from your mum.
If people don't want to go, then they won't go. It is entirely up to the club to try and attract people to the Ricoh. And it is entirely up to those people to decide whether to go or not. Nobody needs any excuses, it's their own time and money to do with as they see fit .

Quite agree. But tell that to the people who were using ticket prices as an excuse when the reality was that most of them couldn't be arsed. Just say you can't be arsed, people!
Definitely looking at getting a match package, do you have to pick the matches you want to attend and get ticket stubs or can you decide on the day of a game?
As I understand it, the flexible part of it is just that, you can turn up to whatever 6 home games you like (or 3 games with 2 people) and show your voucher(s) at the turnstile. Though feel free to correct me anyone.
Point still stands , many people can afford to go but choose not to , im sorry but teams with similar city sizes get bigger attendances than coventry with higher priced tickets , is coventry the poorest "large" city in england ....i think notEven when tickets are, say, £15 or so, some people would still not be able to afford to go if they were struggling financially, as many no doubt are. For a single person it may represent a slice of the weekly beer money. For some people it would still be impossible to find.
As for Skybluelee's point about 'not being arsed', unfortunately that has been the attitude of thousands of people who used to follow the club in past decades. Lots have been disillusioned over those years of the club being in the doldrums. Again, there is no excuse required. It is down to those that run the club to make sure there is an incentive for them to become 'arsed' again. One-offs won't work as there have been so many false dawns, usually linked with yet another new manager in post.
That's better. Probably a daft question, but can you pcik and choose your six games in a package, or are you committing to six in a row?

I think the Idea Is you can use them when you wish and In multiples as you chose .
One question with that Is ,how does It allocate ,will there be problems with where to sit?
Not very likely I'm sure given likely attendance .

I think there is a some truth in that yesIs your point " The football is not shit , the fans are"
I think there is a some truth in that yes
Other teams in similar cities who have been on a downward path for almost thirty years, and are now in League 1, and who have just returned from an unpopular groundshare 35 miles away, and are still taking the local council to court whilst talking about building a smaller ground somewhere outside the city?
You mean those kind of teams, right? It's just that I'm struggling to think of anyone like that.
Been to bradford , swindon , scunthorpe and milton keynes , couldnt make rochdale ...but yes i doDo you go to away matches craig?
In the time youve been supporting you must have seen the quality of football plummet, and so the crowds . People arnt like me and you that turn up whatever, some people need to see some results . Look at how many times weve finished in the top half of the league in the last 25 years. Crowds will flock back if we get to see results. You must be proud of the away followingBeen to bradford , swindon , scunthorpe and milton keynes , couldnt make rochdale ...but yes i do
also a season ticket holder , i dont earn a big wage , look after my family including 2 children , we budget with fairness in mind and of course ..coventry city lol
Always proud of the away support, but yes i agree , a big part of the reason i go alot now , is because i missed out on several years of football as i was in the armyIn the time youve been supporting you must have seen the quality of football plummet, and so the crowds .
