Why do you think that is?
I support Coventry City. I have for 40 years and if I live long enough for the next 40.
Because we have pretty crap fans. Norwich got relegated, get hammered 7-1 in their first match I league one and still got 23k for the next match. You can blame Sisu but the attendances had already started falling since the first season at the Ricoh.
How many of h 1k+ that said they would not go while King was here have come back since he left? I suspect they found another excuse.
If they moved to Northamptonshire it wouldnt be Coventry City.
Each to their own, but if they ever did move, I would take great delight in seeing the business previously known as Coventry City fc Ltd going bust.
A club that has been part of a city for 130 years being ripped from its place in the communtiy is unforgivable and unjustifiable.

Still, it won't happen anyway.
same here my first match was 1968 we lost 2-1 at home to west ham gerry baker scored,Wish I'd scored with his daughter Lorraine
Norwich are the only major club within a 40 mile radius.
10 Sisu board members, along with about another 10 from the previous regime are all in the right.
The other 11k people are wrong.
Norwich fans wouldnt put up with the crap we have so actually you might be onto something.
True but with over 300k in cov and 500k in Warwickshire we should be getting better crowds. Puts the "we're a big club" in to perspective.
Birmingham, Villa, and Leicester all within 20 miles.
Once you move outside the city it's no longer my club. Not a chance I would go.
But we still managed to average 21k a couple of years ago, 18k a couple of years ago....15k last season.....now 10,600
Are those 11k missing fans now going to Brum, villa or Leicester?

I only travel to away games now, but I would draw the line at travelling away to home games.
If it's not in Coventry, it's not Coventry City FC.:blue:
Was going to make the same point, although you are of course factually correct Brighton Sky Blue, I don't think our missing fans are going elsewhere.
Although the loyalty of our fans is questionable, I personally cannot blame anyone for not going to watch. If you're spending a lot of money on a shit product that you take little to no enjoyment from then why would you keep paying for it. Normally you wouldn't. With football it's slightly different, but with those who are less passionate it's barely surprising they're deserting in their droves.
The same place 10k Norwich fans come from between 1997 & 2004
Quite a few on here who travel further than that anyway.
Seem to be thousands of City fans who won't travel a couple of miles to see them now because, "the buses aren't convenient", "the pies are too cold", "the beer is too warm", "the queue for the toilet is too long", and "not getting another penny whilst Sisu are in charge".
Never happen anyway.
