Feel so sorry for Cov fans.

If you're making comparisons, obviously we had Goldstone walkouts but there was no sustained boycott of matches while Archer/Bellotti were in charge.

And at Gillingham the crowds were mainly low because of the distance not an official boycott, plus how shit the team were may have come into it.

A young and vibrant Coventry team made it 11 points from 6 games and into the black today in front of their lowest ever leageu crowd of 1,789.

The absent 10,000 are acting on principle, and I salute them. But they are missing a young team of local kids playing great stuff for the first time in years, and it must be tearing them up.

That wasn't the case for us at Gillingham, where especially in the first year those that didn't go missed the worst football this club has ever played.

Tooting,my point young ones given a chance,CCFC are busted. WSC reckoned that CCFC could be the way forward a busted club yet playing decent 'kids' and getting results.

A 21yr old striker banging them in with 7 goals already (Callum Wilson). Worth a look?

From what I heard away support has rocked, so the fans aren't missing out on the spirited display, just boycotting their "home" stadium and those owners they feel are corrupt.

Nine points off the playoffs with 40 games left; the way they're playing it's not much of a stretch to see them get into the mix over the course of the season

It's dull too watch ,but at least i have a Club too watch.

I'm going to the Recreation ground to watch Barnet play at Aldershot next week. Trying to convince as many Bees fans to go even if they always seem to lose there! Will give them as much money as possible with admission, a programme and a decent burger. :thumbsup:

You've got a good manager in Andy Scott.
