I support the worst club, that can hardly be a surprise. If we're challenging at the right end of the table next season then obviously I will be perked up. Most City fans are the same in this respect.

Keep Mowbray and you'll be much better next season.

He has declared that he will stay if the club agrees to put in place the infrastructure he wants. If they don't he reckons the club has no chance of succeeding, so if he does walk it will speak for itself.
Also on negativity-I don't show it when there is something to cheer about, my optimism on the Bears in the cricket thread should show that.
Every team's crowds go up when they're doing well, we are not unique in that regard. What I will say is that we have had no top 6 finish since 1970 and no trip to Wembley since 1987. We have also only had two top half finishes in the Football League and the last one in the top flight was I suspect before 1990. Factoring that in I don't think it's fair to slam the crowds when clubs like Leicester, Blues, WBA, Wolves etc have promotion seasons to boost the numbers.
The idea of a Cov fan being fair weather suggests there has been fair weather times in our recent history. There hasn't.
The seasons I quoted for leicester were when we were looking miles off any sort of top half championship side: no promotion or hint of promotion - where we were sacking in late March and hoping for the dead cat bounce to finish 21st, 6 permanent managers in 3 years and utter bobbins on the pitch - those better leicester crowds aren't from having good seasons. The simple thing is that your attendances have always been poor, nothing to do with how much money the owners are prepared to put in.

You have not been getting promoted every season but my guess would be that crowds get bumped up in promotion seasons or in ones with general levels of success. I can guarantee you if SISU put in £20m and the club romped to the title that the crowds would surge. Fans' loyalty can only go so far and when you achieve nothing year on year over a period of decades then it will only have one result.
Most of our time in the top flight was spent in the bottom half and with the isolated example of the FA Cup success fans had little to cheer about, and our time in the FL has been even worse.
We have had far far worse owners then you will ever have
Locked in a prison cell 6000 miles away transferring money out of the club to keep his personal businesses afloat Have family on the BoD to ensure that no sale happens Hiring LEE CLARK AS MANAGER

Yes you are right SISU are saints and for your Lee Clark I give you Stephen Pressley and Andy Thorn. They have as much control over the board as Yeung and as a hedge fund use the club as a dumping ground for their portfolio.
Oh and you are a league higher and you own your ground.
Big problem Coventry have is, down the road you got Villa, Birmingham and West Brom one side, then just the other Leicester and Nottingham Forest.
Hasn't proven a problem for Wasps, who have got great attendances since moving to the Ricoh despite credible other options (Leicester Tigers, Northampton Saints, Moseley, Birmingham & Solihull, Coventry RFC etc.)
