And that
And thatDribbles less
Can't really argue with that, pretty much sums it up.
Still think a token 10% reduction would have been the sensible option and would have been a small gesture to the fans.

Don't kids grow into adults?My son doesn't find it "sad" as he knows no different. He lives and breathes Coventry City, which is the most important thing for me. And he won't be the only one. It'll be the adults who are sad about our situation. The kids just get on with it and I admire them for that.
I didn't protest when I was a kidDon't kids grow into adults?

Yeah I agree. This is when lack of income hits home. As you say a token reduction - even 5% - wouldn't haven't caused any fuss. They have an opportunity to give something back but again they messed it up.
To be honest though I think that by many would have been viewed as equally insulting.
In fact if they'd made it £179 by May 31 most would still complain as they need to save money and also. To ensure sisu deliver a squad worth having.
Nor me. cause football was cool. City were good. Top league. Most of us got on with each other. We celebrated goals toget her in the West End. Today's kids all they hear is moansI didn't protest when I was a kid
We all support our team, some once every 30 years some every year. But supporting a team at highest level is better than basement level. Well we do have Sky to help the kids out if your team is not very good.Ooh, you've got me there. I'm not sure.
Those kids aren't adults now. They are sky blue mad. They support their team whatever and hopefully will continue to do so into adulthood.
Not for me next season we will be back to where we were when I first went lolNor me. cause football was cool. City were good. Top league. Most of us got on with each other. We celebrated goals toget her in the West End. Today's kids all they hear is moans
Also into adulthood supporting a team in the bottom league he/she may want his excitement in other way and may drift away. Nothing wrong supporting a lower league side, just his mates at school, maybe, unless they are all City fans.Ooh, you've got me there. I'm not sure.

Sorry to hear that. I'm still going to some games, mostly away. I still want us to win that league first up. but doubt it. Mowbray first season was good it got my passion going again. this year is a season to forget. ( except for the many at Wembley) not me with this relegation. A few games if we are winning ??Not for me next season we will be back to where we were when I first went lol
Coventry City Chairman Tim Fisher would like to address the concerns of the fans following Season Ticket launch...
Firstly, I’m very pleased to welcome Tommy Widdrington to Coventry City this week, to head up our player recruitment programme.
The manager and I feel this appointment is the cornerstone of the football department; Tommy is tasked with finding and securing the right playing talent for the football club going forward.
The club also announced details and prices for next year’s Season Tickets yesterday. Understandably, this has been met with some concerns from fans.
We are unlike most other football clubs, in that we do not benefit from non-ticketing revenue. The club does not get either matchday non-ticketing revenues or non-matchday revenues. We are therefore pushed to generate most income via ticketing means, and this puts pressure on the current Season Ticket pricing structure.
As a club, we are fully aware that other League One clubs have ongoing ticket promotions and offers. Unfortunately, Coventry City FC are not in a position to replicate these, despite wanting to reward our loyal supporters.
Our Season Ticket prices are still in keeping with most clubs in League One and Two and we are especially pleased to be able to continue to offer JSB’s U13 a FREE Season Ticket - and hope this helps with the cost of a family visit to the Ricoh Arena.
The club also wanted to reward its returning early bird Season Ticket holders, and new purchasers, with a FREE ticket to the club’s first cup game of the upcoming season. Hopefully we can replicate the fantastic cup success of this season!
We’re also absorbing the £6.00 processing charge in the early bird period.
The manager wrote about togetherness and unity in his address, and I’d like to echo the same sentiment. Whilst the club simply aren’t able to underwrite any reduction in ticket prices, we are supporting Mark Robins with as much financial backing as is feasibly possible.
All available spend will be allocated to the team. We want to enjoy a successful year on the pitch in 2017/18 and we need the fanbase, where possible, to support the manager during this rebuilding process
Be laughing if we get drawn away until Chelsea at homeWe did get non match day revenue from the shop but they sold/gave away that right, on season tickets easily said by Fisher a man who doesn't pay for his ticket.
I can only sit here and think that we are fucked while shaved monkey is in charge.
Interesting on the cup ticket it doesn't say home game but they have just said on twitter that it's home only
Be laughing if we get drawn away until Chelsea at home
And you still didn't like my post.It grips my shit to actually agree with something you've said but this isn't a daft idea.
Right, I'm off for a shower, I feel all dirty now!
You're a c**t you !! Repeatedly, once of life's finest flappy twats !This is the outcome when you have a fool in charge. If this statement was released yesterday it would have taken the sting out of the release of season ticket details.
There has been a 24 hour period where negativity has been given free reign and spread amongst even the most benign posters.
Some on here who advocate starving the club of money, the same are also foaming at the mouths at the cost of tickets!
Can I put that on my CV?You're a c**t you !! Repeatedly, once of life's finest flappy twats !
They'd still only have to give away 3k in a gate of 30.Be laughing if we get drawn away until Chelsea at home
And you still didn't like my post.
You c**t.
Nah, nobody would be going surely?They'd still only have to give away 3k in a gate of 30.
Also into adulthood supporting a team in the bottom league he/she may want his excitement in other way and may drift away. Nothing wrong supporting a lower league side, just his mates at school, maybe, unless they are all City fans.
Whilst I get your cynicism I think it is a mistake to tag that cynicism onto kids who support Coventry City. Apologies if I'm wrong here but I have a feeling you are not a parent and you haven't seen the excitement on kids' faces at the JSB Christmas party or on a matchday. Come and sit next to me and my lad for a game and you will see how much he is in to Coventry City. We may well be a lower league side but to most kids that doesn't matter. They support who they support. My son's friend suppports Maidstone United and goes to see them every weekend with his dad. Yeah, there are Utd, Man City, Chelsea fans, etc in his class but they never go and watch real football. Sky is all they have.
Don't be so quick to dismiss our young supporters.
Spot on..... my son loves watching cov and regularly is walking around the house on a match day singing cov songs. He's still a proud fan regardless of our relations with owners and off the pitch dramas.
When I dropped him off he was the only one who wasn't wearing a Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona, Man City, Chelsea, Real Madrid kit, etc.
SkyBlueCharlie, I would never presume to tell you what to do but like you I have 50 years of support behind me and I know that I would not be able to end that over a few pounds and poor communication from the fools.As someone that has consistently posted that I would be renewing next season I'm now having second thoughts. At first I saw no real problem with the headline "Season Ticket Prices held" as I had seen that coming, there didn't appear to be any real option. All the pleas for better pr (i.e. improved bullshit), gifts (I've got 2 scarves already sodon't need another one thank you,),ow percentage reductions,were not likely to make any real difference to most people and would probably have now discernible impact on the numbers sold as most have already made their minds up. What really annoyed me was to find that my seat in block 37 had just been upgraded to Premium or whatever they call it with no apparent increase in benefits. Apart from the untruth in the headline what sort of incentive is that?
Why should I be forced into even considering these options? Do I cough up the extra just to continue watching the rubbish we've seen for most of this season, do I move to somewhere else in the ground or do I just say "bollocks" and end over 50 years of active support for CCFC?
