It's only one fool going on about it tbf
Think there Is a danger here that diluting the price of ST's even to current levels may dilute the product on the field.
We are currently cheaper than
Nuneaton Town and Coventry RFC but have
far higher overheads.

From the man who pisses himself laughing at thought of people wanting to support CCFC. That comment alone was enough to know all I need to know about you

Yep.
FWIW reducing prices and getting more fans in is great long term - it hooks them in and makes them fans for life. Tends not to work short term though as it reduces income. The Bradford chairman was warning a couple of seasons ago they might not be able to subsidise it much longer, but they've had some success so clearly see a chance to embed themselves further.
But that's why you'd do it - the long term benefits when you hoik prices back up, not for the short term.
Great fans pmsl, people don't want to support Coventry City
The benefits for other clubs of course are to get the bodies through the gates and milk them for a few extra quid each match...............of course that barely applies to us with our current set up.

If Dong was really about supporting the club he'd be encouraging people to buy as many season tickets and match packages as possible, not giving them more reasons and excuses to not go by telling them the price is too high.
Here is your comment
As I say tells me all I need to know about you
Yea so like I said I pissed myself laughing at your opinion that we have great fans which is what I just said on the last page you simpleton.
What makes our fans great then? Is it that last season we averaged lower than Barnsley, MK Dons, Bradford, Bristol and Preston last season?
Is it that we have averaged lower last year than Leicester, Norwich, Southampton, Portsmouth, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest, Huddersfield, Charlton, Swansea, Millwall and Wolverhampton when they were in L1
We do get access to match day revenue
So the more through the doors not only from the ticket sales but also from other sales boosts the coffers
Well those who don't attend clearly don't want to support the club, if they did they would be there (excluding those who have reasonable circumstances such as work commitments, travel etc.)It's your moronic comment that no one wants to support CCFC.
It's such you have a complete lack of understanding of the potential our club has.
Which also suggests that not only are you ignorant but also a tad thick.
The proof is in the pudding isn't it, potential means nothing when not many can be bothered to get off their arse and go unless it's cheap or we are winning every week.It's your moronic comment that no one wants to support CCFC.

Measure our support against those clubs when we finally challenge for promotion in this league like all the others did

The irony of you calling someone ignorant and thick, no one agrees with you and you are making a bigger tit of yourself than usual.
Answer my point, if we have such great fans why did all those clubs average more than us (in a lot of cases significantly more) when they were in league 1.
The last season in the championship despite rekegation we averaged 15-16k
Our first season in league one we were the third most supported team. Despite how that season panned out.
The away support during the Sixfields debarcle showed feeling amongst the fans.
After that people were still protesting against the owners and yet we were still the 6th or 7th most supported team in the division.
Yet we have never given our fans a 3rd place finish or av6th place finish.
So yes I disagree with you we have great fans who have suffered loads.
The potential is there and the likes of yourselves create a self fulfilling prophesy of negativity by running the club and your fellow fans down

cba to go through it again but it wasn't always plain sailing for those clubs. Bradford and Barnsley didn't challenge last year and Charlton, Sheffield Wednesday, Preston, Huddersfield all had poor seasons in league 1. We obviously know the troubles Portsmouth had as I've brought it up in this thread, when Southampton were first relegated to league 1 they had -10 points and were getting 20k still
7th isn't challenging? Bradford came up off a few giant killings, a major cup final and a play off final and obviously their board offered cheap STs to maintain the momentum - hardly comparable to us is it?
The proof is in the pudding isn't it, potential means nothing when not many can be bothered to get off their arse and go unless it's cheap or we are winning every week.
Surely if we had amazing fans there would be there week in week out if we were paying real madrid or fleetwood? If people wanted to support the club they would surely?
You keep going on about people loving the club and stuff, so they will be at the ricoh every week?
Do you think Real Madrid would get many if they were playing Fleetwood in the 3rd tier of the Spanish leagues ? Oh and they hadn't had a top 6 finish in 40 years and they had a reputed mammoth budget of £2.5 million to spend this year, not to mention playing in someone else's ground now with cunts for owners?
They had a good season and flirted with the play offs but no they never really challenged. Still much better than our efforts
Isn't that quite a good budget for this league?Do you think Real Madrid would get many if they were playing Fleetwood in the 3rd tier of the Spanish leagues ? Oh and they hadn't had a top 6 finish in 40 years and they had a reputed mammoth budget of £2.5 million to spend this year, not to mention playing in someone else's ground now with cunts for owners?
Well 7th would be our highest position in any league for a very very long time. Put it this way, they finished the same amount of points away from the play offs as we did to relegation so I'd say they were close and didn't just 'flirt'
Where are they then?
They are so great that they only turn up if we are at the top of the league and all tickets are £5 every week? Doesn't sound like greatness to me.
You are the one trying to put people off attending my complaining about the price amongst other things.
Ha, not the old self fulfilling prophesy. A favourite of Tony's isn't it?You are the one on here running the club down about the pricing of the season tickets etc. Have a look for the people on here who like to pick at the club for everything they do when they can and probably won't bother going to any games. You are barking up the wrong tree I think as you are the one giving it the negativity towards the club. Like I said before, you don't need to preach that to people who will probably be at a large % of the games week in week out.
If you want to moan about negativity towards the club, I suggest you have look at the people who have an issue with everything the club do. Have a look at the postage for season ticket thread or the "the club made me feel stupid" threads. They are the people you need to preach at, not the people who will be going every week.
Preach towards the people who aren't going up to the Ricoh and are included in this potential you speak about, tell them to get their arses up there rather than telling the people who will already be going and then making excuses for people not going.
You want people to stop being negative about the club, I await your posts encouraging people to get up to every game they can to support the team instead of trying your hardest to try and pick at the club having the third cheapest season tickets in the league as if that is a bad deal. I assume you will be on the threads congratulating the club when they do things right too as you are so positive about the club?
If committing to the season with season tickets, spending £100+ in the club shop when it opened is being negative I am not sure what is being positive. I assume it is sitting on your arse at home refusing to go until we have signed some top strikers for millions and season tickets are £100?
Not complaining. Suggesting a way of increasing attendances. Which has proven to work by a club very similar to ourselves- Bradford.
They are not some super club we can't follow the lead on. They have come up with a great idea which works.
Complaining would be moaning and been derogatory about your own support base.

All you've done is complain and moan you tit, its taken 8 years of consistently low prices of below £200 for it to get the sales they've had this year. Are Coventry fans prepared to wait that long or will they just moan and bitch when it means in the first few seasons we would have to reduce the budget to compensate?
£2.5m budget is pretty big for league one. Swindons was £2.2m last season I believe, and they finished 4th. With Bradfords STs that cheap, I wouldn't be surprised if our budget is bigger, despite lower attendances.
