A good, if somewhat sad, read.

While the club was exiled in Northampton, it was argued by critics of the move that the club staying away from its home city could have long lasting ramifications, that a proportion of those who got out of the habit of watching Coventry City every other week might not return upon its return. It’s not easy to quantify the extent of this when form on the pitch has been so poor, but it’s difficult to avoid the conclusion that some have gone, if not quite for good, then at least while the current owners remain in place. Ultimately, perhaps dragging oneself from the warmth and comfort of one’s sofa to watch a malfunctioning team play football becomes that much more difficult when affection for that club has been damaged and this seems to be likely for some – of not many – Coventry supporters over the last couple of years or so. To this extent, the owners of the club are now reaping what whey sewed throughout their exile period.
