There is actually more to life than watching grown men kick a bag of air around a field you know.
i really do care what internet forum strangers think of me
especially internet strangers from coventry whom are nationally renowned for there wonderful and objective views
not only do i care about being told where i should go and what i should watch, but i was also looking for some fashion tips, maybe a bit of a poke in the right direction of what to eat and drink and what position to take my girlfriend ,
i also feel there should be a strict criteria for anyone wanting to go and watch coventry city on a regular basis like .. does your drool reach the floor without breaking, and would you like to wipe your arse with a £20 note ?
:-D
...shortsighted decisions by our owners beget more shortsightedness. What is the point of going up the Ricoh, cheering till your hoarse while we have owners who can't manage their pissflow?
Ownership has nothing to do with lack of attendance in 99% of cases. Other than the first couple of years at the Ricoh attendances have always been poor - well before we even heard of SISU. You get what you pay for ultimately and lack of support of course leads to cost cutting.
Attendances are always due to a wide range of factors. But No.1 amongst all these is the extremeley tangible perception that CCFC are not worth supporting because the "owners couldn't give a shit".
In the sixties, under the Hill/Robbins partnership the opposite was true and fans and owners were united........gates for reserve games were better than what our first team get today.
Five years ago we had players like Fox and Dann......was it the fan's decision to off load these players and not to reinvest like for like? NO.
Was this cost cutting or asset stripping?
Look at our league position and squad today - even a complete moron would get the right answer nine times out of ten.
My five year old could make a better fist of running this football club.
Reeling them in with a 2 line post.
The posts on this thread really back up the notion that Coventry City FC really do have some of the worst 'supporters' in the country. These part time, fair weather fans aren't supporters at all. I'm talking about the locals who choose not to come, as I laid out in my earlier post. They are the reason we don't do better as a club, less supporters, less money, lesser quality of player. People bang on about how rubbish the club is but don't help them - turning their backs on them when they most need it. They don't have a true passion for the club, it is some kind of entertainment or lifestyle choice for them, 'blokes kicking a bag of wind around.' That kind of sick note attitude condemns the club.
The new manager has cited Leeds as a good example of great support. We're a million miles away from that. The loyal hardcore fans here are terrific. The locals who choose not to come really let the club down. Yeah sure, turn up for Arsenal, Chelsea etc, but you aren't supporters, just daytrippers. As I said, 'effing useless.'

And still he goes on. Nobody cares fella.
That's why there's 3 pages of it, because nobody cares.
Why would I care whether you or anyone else thinks I'm a true supporter or not?
Are you on the wind up or stupid? I don't care if you are or not. It doesn't interest me! Ha ha, fuck me.
So you make comments about me being bothered, then when asked to give a reason to justify it you can't, and so resort to insults. I could point out your contradiction but I'm certain it would be lost on you.
Shouldn't she have been cooking or cleaning or something?
One or two are twisting words here. I said the daytrippers who live locally and who CHOOSE not to come to support City, are not supporters at all. Nothing to do with who is better than who. Just that they aren't supporters, full stop. NOT supporters at all, geddit?
Of course they don't care what people think. Why should they, their choice what they do. That's fine. I've no issue with that.
Trotting out the usual, more important things to do etc line is what exposes them for what they are, lukewarms, sick notes, 'fans' who will swear undying loyalty at the merest hint of success. Or a cup tie against Chelsea. Or Arsenal etc.
This is why Coventry City are failing. Less support=less money=lesser players.
We have a loyal band of supporters who realise that if enough people would only support their team we can be that 12th man. Then we have a huge proportion of sick note useless fans.
Your just a fan if you don't go to games. To be a supporter you have to actually attend games regularly thus physically supporting your team. Massive difference in my eyes.
I agree with snoz, the locals that can't be arsed and come out the woodwork for the bog games should be ashamed!
Can't agree there SBS76. I have attended games since 1963 - probably near on a thousand matches - but now, due to distance, health and finances, I haven't been for some time. Does this make me less of a "supporter"? Have I been "downgraded" to being just a "lowly" fan somehow? Feel insulted.
Not trying to offend, sorry.
I mean the people with no other reasons than they chose not to go.
Reasons like who's in charge or who owns the club etc etc.
It's so hard to go up there these days and show our support, but they need us. Damned if you do,damned if you don't.
