Most of us are not a fan but some just disagree and moan about everything for the sake of it. He's done good things but some bad things, people just remember the bad things. With what With money.

Daniel Smith 5,647 Posted May 10, 2016 Was going to put this on the David Hemsley thread but not sure it's appropriate on there. Is there anywhere else Coventry could go (realistically before some smart a** says Ricoh Arena again) other than Leicester where the fans will follow? Just think if Coventry went to Leicester, with how terrible the racing is there, that could be more damaging to the promotion & or the club due to the lack of support. I'm not sure Bee's fans will follow the club to Leicester knowing just how bad the racing will be. IMO wouldn't Perry Barr be the more logical option?!?

Perry Barr would be better from a racing standpoint but it still wouldn't work. Look at our crowd last night though. Bees fans won't support off night racing on their own doorstep and never have done, let alone 20 miles up the road. Interestingly, Coventry v Wolves was the very first tv match on Sky back in 1999, and there wasn't many people there then either, so it's nothing new. Move last night's match to a Friday night with the same weather and the crowd would be 4 times the size, even at full price. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over time people get use to mid week & in 2017 there may be no option but to like mid week if the race night's get moved to just 1-2 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most have given up already. We won't be running anyway so it will have little effect on us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
