Hahahahaha.

 

I did, but even then I was thinking mid-9000 somewhere, how do you lose 2300 from one game to the next?


Probably be renting out the Bescot before long.

Then it's back to before with the people of Coventry moaning 'We need our team back in our City'....Well fucking prove it and get behind your team.

 

The phrase 'Use it or lose it' has never been so apt. The Cov fans can moan about their owners as much as they want (And what their owners are doing is wrong) but the fans have to share a big part of their problems.

Definitely. It'll be interesting over the course of the year to see how the attendances now they've returned compare to the previous season at the Ricoh.

And to think we averaged 20K in League 1 is amazing compared to coventry's shambolic turnout

 

To be fair, we strolled the league and we're in the division for one season. They've been horrific for years and three seasons (?) in division three now.

 

Not that I'm defending 7k. It's ridiculously poor given the size of the City.

And especially given the concerted campaign to get them back there. To go from 27k to 7k in three matches is staggering.

That must just be season ticket holders. I expect it will stay around 7k unless they start winning

I think they have around 4,000 STH, so things could get even worse/funnier.

Wasps’ £19.5m takeover of the Ricoh Arena in Coventry is set to be approved on Tuesday after Labour councillors agreed to back the sale.

According to the Coventry Telegraph, a full Coventry City Council meeting, scheduled for 2pm on Tuesday, will result in the Premiership side being given the green light to complete a 100% takeover of ACL, the operating firm of the Ricoh Arena.

Wasps have been based at Adams Park in Wycombe – 80 miles away from Coventry – for the last 12 years but have long since been looking for a new home, a search that was accelerated when the Irish businessman Derek Richardson completed his takeover of the club in April 2013, providing the two-times European champions with much-needed financial stability

Councillors were locked in late-night talks on Monday, and were reportedly given a presentation by Richardson, and the controlling Labour party are said to be in favour of the takeover.

Wasps are expected to be handed a 250-year lease as part of the deal and while it was initially thought that the council would mantain a 10% stake in the stadium – jointly owned by the council and The Alan Edward Higgs Charity – the six-times English champions are set to take over the arena in its entirety.

Coventry City returned to the Ricoh Arena last month, after more than a season in exile, but in a temporary deal for two years, with an option for two more, and Wasps’ relocation will raise further questions as to their long-term home.

Looks like that's them absolutely buggered then. Can't imagine Sisu showing their heads in Coventry much any more.. not like they were popular before...
