As I say, you go ahead. Supporting a club like City is a test of character, this is our biggest test.
The club abandoned the fans when they moved to Northants. Crewe next week will be my last game of the season. Not sure if I will bother next year, we are a sham of a club on a continued decline with owners that don't care. The AFC option I think will hsppen over the next few years.

It's either a doom thread or I'm a super fan thread on here at the moment.
Go to football or don't but either way wind your neck in
So what do we do? Abandon the club we have supported all our lives because things have become difficult? You go ahead but not for me.
And which one is this?
completely agree, but surely our support isn't necessary? SISU/TF have said they will cover the losses, and we as fans can not influence a return to Coventry?

I'm not just talking about stadium support, I'm talking about maintaining your allegiance, continuing to care, talking about the club, campaigning, keeping the spirit alive if you like, in the hope of better times. Not just throwing in the towel and not even bothering to follow results! Hate the owners if you like but the club is more than that and will be here (in some form or another) long after they have gone.
Has an air of superiority about it like most others.
but would an AFC Coventry be the CCFC we all love? IMO, no
just to clarify, I'll never stop supporting them until they cease to exist.
Agreed. And good to hear your in for the distance, it would appear many are not!

Oh, I don't know. If people can't get tickets for big games they're straight on the phone to CWR.
Although let's be honest, if you really weren't bothering to follow results, you wouldn't be bothering to log into a CCFC forum to tell people you weren't either.
Its ok he likes to post that about 3 times a day to justify his sixfields attendance
Says chief talk a lot of shit
Take his cock out of your mouth and grow a pair - suxfields united as always I see
I think Nick runs an excellent forum, and the abuse he sometimes has to contend with is unacceptable, particularly these last few posts. I imagine he doesn't want to close this thread as some people will use it against him, but I think this has gone off topic.
I agree. Whilst I don't agree with many of his opinions, I appreciate that running a forum like this is a thankless task and it should be remembered that he has a difficult job to do.
What is it with all these fickle fans? I mean when we were flying high we were packing Shitfields out with 7,000 roaring devotees and thousands more outside desperate to get in...just like TF said there would be. A few dodgy results and the glory hunters desert us in their droves. I have lost a lot of interest because this no longer feels like my club...it's been taken away from me, not the other way around. All things CCFC were a major part of my life but just recently there's been occasions when I didn't even know we were playing...if someone like me can lose interest then anyone can. The club won't be dead to me though until the day when the possibility of returning to my home city again is lost forever.
I wouldn't say the club are dead to me, but if I wanted to support a team from the comfort of my living room I wouldn't choose Coventry. I've quite enjoyed going to Cov Rugby on a Saturday this season, but I'd be straight back if we were at the Ricoh.
Would ditto this and Samo I think you are not understanding some of the sentiment of many fans. CCFC are my club and will always be my club, but this season I have stopped listening to the radio (having listened previously to just about every away game for 20 years or more) and have indeed fogotten we are playing on at least 2 occasions too.
The fact the club has been taken away from us to play games 35 miles away automatically creates a disenfranchisement from fans. People like me don't go to away games simply because we can't due to other commitments and we therefore are not seeing our club play at all in any format other than fleetingly on TV.
I will always love this club, but at the moment it just feels a million miles away from me. And many I'm sure feel exactly the same.
Otis, you seem to be saying that unless you attend your interest wanes and I just can't relate to that! You are telling me you 'love' the club but you don't care if they win or lose. (Well not enough to command your attention at least.)
Of course I care if we win or lose. It just does't hold the same excitement for me though when we win. When we win I smile, whereas normally I would be jumping up and down and dancing round the living room. When we lose it just doesn't hurt like it used to either. Previously pretty much every loss would spoil my whole weekend or evening. That's how passionate I have been about the club.
The club have been everything to me. A week of a home game would have me counting the days to kick off with much anticipation and excitement. Well I simply cannot get excited about a home game I can't go to. I have always gone. Always. Man and boy and CCFC have been such an enornmous part of my life.
To me the whole thing is surreal. I have always gone and suddenly I'm not going anymore. Well that has had a tremendous impact on me. I now have had to find other things to do on a weekend and now when I am doing those things it can result in my forgetting we even have a game on. Doesn't help of course with this Saturday/Sunday constant switching either mind.
Anyone who knows me would never ever question my loyalty to Coventry City FC.
