singe Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 We thought we were. Look at Coventry's record since going back to the Ricoh. 1st game back Fri 5th Sept Ricoh v Gillingham W 2-1 att 27,306 Sat 13th Sept Ricoh v Yeovil W 1-0 att 11,085 Lost away to Scunthorpe and Dale Sat 27th Sept Ricoh v Preston L 0-2 att 10,006 Sat 4th Oct Ricoh v Crawley D 2-2 att 7,708 Not sure they can be much of a force on those attendances. (Double ours of course!!) Only if they had got somewhere near the first game back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeylandLatic Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 There's a difference between being fickle and being stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brierleys555 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I wonder what the rent situation will be if attendances keep dropping. could they find themselves evicted/forced to leave situation all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I genuinely thought they'd be getting 15k+ for a few months till the novelty wore off, especially after all their whinging. They're averaging less than what they did before this whole farce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz_Oafc Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Coventry's future at the Ricoh already faces uncertainty according to sky sports news as the council and joint owner the Alan Higgins trust are set to discuss selling a 90% stake in the stadium to Wasps rugby club.

Hardly fickle, as Gaz has said, for these Coventry fans it's happening all over again. http://twohundredpercent.net/?p=26486 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I feel for every Cov fan. But unrelated to the original post, as those lapsed fans were unaware of these latest potentially catastrophic changes.

longtimeblue Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There was only about 8,000 there when we played them at The Richo last time. In fairness to our dwindling support, it's far less dramatic than their sudden fall from grace. Given the size of the city, it's poor really.

Matt Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 A shocking development. And I feel for every Cov fan. But unrelated to the original post, as those lapsed fans were unaware of these latest potentially catastrophic changes. They are pissed off. My Skyblues mate says they've had real issues from day one. Attendance for their first game back was inflated as they were getting about 10K at home the last full season at the Ricoh, this SISU thing has still :censored:ing stinking, the fans have been messed about with stands or areas being shut down, they have had major problems with ticketing (season tickets in particular) - I'm sure Oldham fans can relate to much of that. Now the Wasps developnent of course, perhaps their attendances may suffer even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
