Correct another excuse will have to be formulated when that happens
It will make no difference as I think you know. Clutching at straws there.

Your being a bit unfair there. Cov Rugby and the Blaze get very respectable crowds, I am unsure of the Bees as they don't seem to publish that sort of information.

Yes, top flight football for 34 consecutive years, 3/4 of that time since 1969. If only we'd have gotten relegated and promoted a few times back then, we'd be battening down the hatches keeping out the stampeded
We'd do better if we were in Nottingham.
The blaze do OK with their limited capacity but Cov Rugby should be getting 3 times that for a City the size of Coventry.
Nottingham are the Newcastle of British Hockey. Brilliant support but rarely win anything.
Haha. What a crank.
The decade and a half of constant decline passed you by has it?

If the Blaze had any ambition they'd move there then.

And a city the size of Coventry should have a rugby team that is at least Championship level. Its a two way thing. The rugby club has also been poorly managed, through no fault of the fans. When they are the best supported team in the division then you cant ask anymore of the supporters.
To be fair a Rochdale fan sympathised the other day . He said he felt sorry that for the last 50 years we have had 35 in the top flight and 13 in the second tier.
He was wondering where it all went wrong for us.
Why? They are doing fine in Coventry.
Don't worry your mates at the council have an instant solution to that.
My mates? Apart from exchanging pleasantries with Ray Lucas (Ann's fella) at the bar in the Old Shepherd I have no contact with the council.
Big troubles in 2011-2012. Moving to a bigger arena would allow them to fulfill their ambition to maintain their current level.
The main reason behind the trouble was one of the main sponsors went bust. Crowds had declined slightly in the same season which didn't help.

However due to the trust and respect that exists between the fans and management at the Blaze, when the chairman put out a statement saying the fans needed to help, they packed out the Skydome for the next few months.
Bigger crowds would stop their dependence, on sponsorship, and allow them to compete more easily.

Trust and respect? Is this the same club that fucked off from solihull?
You're just on the wind up again, now behave and go and fetch your slippers and silk dressing gown in time for 'Downton' !

Love how you pretend to be outraged by such an event, when its quite clear you couldn't care less.
but as soon as the game started they really never gave a fuck.
tbf that's the hurdle we all need to find a way to get over in football as a whole. Nowt wrong in being tribal when it comes to the games, but we need to learn if we don't work together outside of the matches there won't be any games to get tribal over!

Sorry if this has been pointed out already but we were getting 10-11k in League One at the Ricoh in 2012/13, so it's not like we're down on the previous marker. Relegation season in the Championship and we had £15k average.
If you want to look at why crowds aren't higher, look no further than our vile owners who have totally alienated the fan base. Hard to get a city excited when there is such a bunch of scum running the club.
I still maintain however that the feel good factor of us coming home after all the pleading and begging, would have resulted in more interest than just that first game back.
Was said then by many that the Yeovil crowd was down because it was two games in a week. Well on Saturday it was 2 weeks and the crowd was even lower.
I do expect crowds to fall when we're not doing well, that is natural, but we were so desperate to get the team home, so it has been rather embarrassing to see the attendance tail off so, so quickly.
