SystonFox Posted 25 March 2017 Posted 25 March 2017 "The game of the return to the Ricoh was one of the best atmospheres I've ever witnessed in football" Defeating Sevilla to progress to the quarter finals of the champions league. not trying to rub it in or owt but how we are, quite obviously, leagues apart.
sylofox Posted 31 March 2017 Posted 31 March 2017 I would gladly let them change places with spuds. No fun if they do go bust no bragging rights or feck all. Hang on sky blues.

The sad thing is, returning to Coventry meant just as much to me and every other Coventry fan as it did to you getting to the CL Quarter Finals..
CosbehFox Posted 31 March 2017 Posted 31 March 2017 There's no way a professional football team will play at Butts. The site just doesn't support big numbers of traffic and people. Great location but at the moment, the car park can barely fit 100 cars on. Coventry United, the team set up in protest at SISU, will play there next season. Decent team at the mo but currently in a very tough division.

There's nothing sad about that at all. It's a big moment. I'm sure had it been the other way round we would be doing the same, no doubt. Just an example of how far apart the two cities football clubs are and how far we have drifted in a short space of time.
Matt Posted 2 April 2017 Posted 2 April 2017 Gotta laugh at my Facebook feed the amount of people posting about going to Wembley today. I have two issues with it: •Where have they been for so long. (Not going because of the owners? Valid point, that leads me to my second point...) •I thought they were boycotting because of the owners. I sympathise with them because of their owners but the thing is most of these people on my Facebook feed weren't going long before SISU, the Ricoh or even at all for that matter, poor attendances were happening before the owners started being idiots, the fans really do have a big part to blame.
purpleronnie Posted 2 April 2017 Posted 2 April 2017 That frickin corporate area at Wembley irritates me every time I see it.

Matt Posted 2 April 2017 Posted 2 April 2017 Take nothing away from Coventry but how poor have Oxford been?!
Leicesterpool Posted 2 April 2017 Posted 2 April 2017 Oxford Utd only really came alive in the last ten minutes, Cov have really improved since Robins returned but left it too late.

Fans always come out of the woodwork for big games. Happens often when lower league clubs gets drawn with a Premier League club in the cup. Lincoln took 8k to Arsenal and they get less than that for league games.
Corky Posted 2 April 2017 Posted 2 April 2017 I don't think Wembley finals are a great barometer of a club's support really, you get thousands turning up who probably go very infrequently. What they need to do is use this for next season in League 2, get around 14/15k in the ground each week and try and come back. Robins is a decent manager, they should be able to get a competitive squad together, strong attendances can only help.

I remember going down Leicester 91-92 we averaged 15,000 in a stadium that could hold 21,000. We took 40,000 to Wembley. It's easy to mock them over this but really, if we hadn't got straight out of league one, who knows what state we would be in.
yorkie1999 Posted 4 April 2017 Posted 4 April 2017 could be relegated on saturday and forest could be in the bottom 3.

Wymsey Posted 5 April 2017 Posted 5 April 2017 Lost 2-0. They really need to win all their remaining games to have any chance. If they don't against Peterborough at home on Saturday, reckon there'll be bigger protests over the coming weeks.
