According to some Coventry fans, there's a movement for them to invade the pitch on Thursday night and get the game abandoned.

All 4 of their fans in attendance at the game plan to participate... Lady Godiva too.

Hopefully the league will start doing something about this and getting their games played in front of away fans only or behind closed doors.

They may have an argument, but i don't see why a team that has nothing to do with their argument should be affected
 
They could protest in a similar way to Charlton I reckon.

I appreciate as fans they have to do something to show they are not happy with the way their club is being run. Not sure running on to the pitch will do much apart from get themselves banned.

Blackpool fans went on the pitch the other season I think.
 
I felt a sense of solidarity with Charlton, as a football supporter. Which is why I was happy to do my bit with the boycott.

Not so with Coventry. They're a shitty club with shitty, whiny, cuntish fans and I couldn't give two shits about whatever situation they're in. Fuck 'em

Agreed :)
 
So we finally get our shit together and the league is going to be abandoned this year because too many clubs supporters are upset.

I disagree, I know many decent Cov fans (and some not so decent) and their situation is dire and they are not responsible..

I also agree, so many "fans" have abandoned their club, it's dying from the core. Fuck them.
 
Excellent, means a 3-0 win for United. Anyone any idea what the odds are for 3-0 with no goalscorers??
 
I believe it requires 10 people to constitute a riot. If the same criteria is applied to an "invasion" at the Stadium of Wasps they may struggle to get enough..
 
5/11/14 - Coventry return "home" to the Ricoh Arena after 1 and a 1/2 years of exile to scenes of jubilation. 27,000 there to witness it.

1/11/16 - less than 8,000 turn up to the Ricoh to watch Coventry play Chesterfield. Not much jubilation. This pushes down the average attendance at one-club city Coventry to a little over 9,000 (about 200 less than Bristol Rovers's, from two-club city Bristol).

Can they really be arsed sorting a protest out these days?
 
:(
Thought this thread was about which drinking hole people are congregating in.


What drinking hole are people thinking of going into?

I'm not paying that £10 fee for the car park across the road btw. Try to park on or around the Foleshill Road and traipse across.

I so hope we score 6 or more :)
 



I'm not going Thursday but family members are, so obviously it's a bit of a concern for me that it could get out of hand if there is an invasion. They might spout this and that on social media, but realistically it'll only happen if we are doing well, and so it could rile some of our fans if it did happen.

I think it's important for every Blade who goes not to react or get involved, mainly for their own safely, but also so that those feckers at the FA don't get an excuse to dish-out any possible punishment our way as well.

Bollocks to that ;) just get stuck in Blades, they'll just do a runner anyway, as they did in last away game in 1990/91 !
 
"Lets stage an invasion and yet still boycott the game at the same time. Oh and make sure we put it on social media in enough time for the plod to pick up on it, oh and let's do it while the might of sky are present meaning everybody will be caught on high definition camera and broadcast all over the county and the punishment on the club with be three times as harsh while we're already in relegation trouble" Yeah great idea. Brain cells missing in Coventry.

Errrr .....NO! :eek:

Following a thorough and impartial investigation, conducted by Trevor Brooking with assistance from a fat, gobshite "journalist" ......... it would be decided that it was unfair to the Coventry supporters that their Club should be punished and they would award the points to Coventry and fine us for being there !! o_Oo_Oo_O:fattwat:

The irony with Coventry is that their board is trying to run the club properly.
They have massive overheads (due to having a shiny new stadium) so even on decent 9,000 crowds they only have an average league 1 budget.

Their fans want them to do a Leicester City when they left Filbert Street and got a new stadium.
I.e. Ignore financial contraints and gamble on a budget they can't afford.
If it works they have a good chance of promotion if it fails then they just go into admin
Write off all their debts then start again with new owners.

Basically they are fed up having potential but failing to realise it
With their owner seemingly happy to see them drift along as a very average league 1 club with no prospects of having a promotion push.

A bit like half the clubs in league 1 though.

I bet if they got rid of the owners and did a Portsmouth sinking to league 2 struggling in that league their
support woud be down to 5,000. Their suport is fallling away mainly because they're struggling.
 
Any Coventry fans reading this might find it surprising that most Blades have little sympathy towards Coventry City.

It all seems to revolve around the sale of their old ground and building an impressive 32K capacity Ricoh Area .
At time Coventry had big plans and big ambition and they negotiated a deal they could afford.
But since then Coventry have been on a steady decline and now the weight of debt is hanging round the
neck of their club so it's not a level playing field, hence the modest budget each year and looking to sell their best players.

Coventry fans would probably point to numerous clubs that have bought stadiums, then struggled with the debt and then simply gone into admin to return under new ownership stronger and fitter.
Seems like cheating to me that appears to be what they want their club to do.

Sheff Wednesday were in a similar ish position with huge debts meaning they also had a modest budget and couldn't compete with other league 1 clubs but they almost went into admin and were bailed out at the last minute with 20 million pound sterling of debt written off.

Sheff United have always paid our bills, set proper budgets and sold our best players too
But we haven't deleted the club even though it's now SIX years in league one and we still get virtually twenty thousand gates

I don't quite understand the finances, but I do know that Cov don't own the Stadium and having little assets makes the situation dire.

You are being far too fair on the part time wannabee Brummie wankers.

All through the 80s and 90s they got 13-14k per game in the top division until the last game. Then they would get 20k and magically avoid relegation.
First game at the Ricoh had 25k and then it dropped by thousands each week as the novelty wore off.

They (and Middlesborough), are one of the most part time variable attending fans who are only happy to turn up when the sun shines.

Sympathy for Rovrum (2004), Wimbledon, Charlton etc I can understand.

Some Midlands fat-naked-bitch-on-a-horse wankers just don't do it for me.
