Cant say im suprised at Coventrys crowd. Back in their home City.
Theres a lot in this I think. I have to be honest, I didnt enjoy being back as much as I thought. Maybe its a gap in not going during which we have all done a lot of thinking and reassessed many things, but I felt far more like a customer on saturday. It felt far more corporate than before.
There’s a lot of people working as drivers for Amazon, DPD, Tesco and the like. Maybe they couldn’t make it, due to working extra shifts!
Rubbish. The owner appears really disinterested doesn't he, pumping £3.5m a month into the club to keep it going in the lockdowns. You really don’t miss any opportunity to stick the boot in on the owner or the club. Just continually makes you look bitter and twisted and makes me even more convinced that you are a Jack.
i wonder how many of the shortfall on the crowds we were getting pre Covid can be put down to people still not feeling they're ready to go to games? I know of a few, but it's not that many.
17 & 1/2 K isnt too bad in the circumstances, the older generation are still worried about going to the supermarket, they are not going to be rushing to watch a football game are they
The publicity from the EFL re. the opening attendances was bullish, though did pick the games where the gate was better than expected. Re. City, I just get the impression it's a club in decline - not a permanent one - but directors, general management, and supporters, have just run out of steam, energy, enthusiasm.
We've had over 20yrs. of generally exciting, optimistic times. I think the mood all round has shifted..
Think we should also factor in Barnsley's poor away following, less than 1,000. Had we been playing Forest or Birmingham suddenly the attendance would be far closer to 20k
I think it's a combination of safety issues, breaking the habit of going to watch live football, the poor quality of football on offer and the lack of enthusiasm promoted by the club itself.
For all Warnock's faults, it can't be denied that he was instrumental in putting bums on seats. Somehow I don't think MM will do that.
I know plenty who were hit hard finanicially during the covid lockdown and i think Cardiff v Barnsley will be down their list of priorities as they try to get out of the rut they are in.
I've seen idiots saying that we should be getting 30000 you couldn't make it up.
Not everyone was born with a silver spoon in their mouth
We have just come out of a pandemic thats cost people their jobs their homes and businesses even lives it may take awhile before attendances rise..
