After reading that Coventry City are close to completing a groundshare with Championship club Birmingham City, fans took to give their reaction with many claiming they won’t bother watching them if the move happened, see the comments as quoted by Coventry Live…
Craig Sysum said: “Disappointed is an understatement! You certainly won’t be having anymore of my money! Yet another generation of would-be Sky Blue fans wasted, joining all their other mates that wear Liverpool/Man Utd shirts . RIP Coventry City Football Club.”
Emma Mort said: “It’s an embarrassment to the club and an insult to the fans. I won’t be going to watch, just like I refused to go to Northampton.”
Jack Ward said: “RIP Coventry City, we are about lose our identity as a football club when we go to play in Birmingham.”
Craig Ward said: “It’s actually nearer to me than the Ricoh but I won’t be going.”
Nathan Ccfc Pettit said: “Why have u all quit with the club. Birmingham is a great club and place. We are a football club and we have a fab football team, it shouldn’t matter where we play as long as we have our beloved club. If u are a true fan u wouldn’t care where we play as long as we’re winning games.”
Nathan Lycett said: “Why are we bothered because let’s be honest at least it won’t have 15 stone men running around on so we can play our beautiful football. Look what happened against Sunderland, a decent pitch and we played pretty good so not really too bad if we get the points who’s going to moan and mark my words watch us get promoted.”
Jimmy McBeans said: “Time for a new club. CCFC won’t come back from this. Generation of fans lost already, now this. We should move on, take the example of say, AFC Wimbledon. I’m convinced to go watch Coventry United instead next season.”
John D’Arcy said: “Unbelievably disappointed if true.”
Darryl Powers said: “No home games ever again until back in Cov.”
Fred Bison said: “A lot of the fans come from Warwick and Leamington so will suit them.”
Peter Doolan said: “Not going.”
Scott Landyard said: “Gary Newbon 80%. Hmm, let’s wait and see eh?”
Mike Dudley said: “It’s good Birmingham have supported us in the opportunity, but small crowds should be expected.”
Guy Watt said: “It is a terrible position to be in. Just want to know what is going on, but I would not be buying a season ticket to go to Birmingham. Worst option in my eyes.”
Jake Parker said: “Not really that bothered, just a better pitch.”
Lee Pantling said: “The whole situation stinks, I won’t go but the only positive I can think of is it stops us going under and probably extinct.”
Ben Gman said: “How embarrassing…being forced to take charity from Birmingham.”
Neil Pickard said: “No chance. Two more season ticket holders lost and we will never return whilst SISU are in charge irrespective of where we play our home games. Off to watch Coventry Rugby…a club on the up who know how to look after their fan base!!”
Graeme Taylor said: “Thanks to Birmingham City for giving Coventry a place to play home games…I won’t be going myself.”
Andy Jeanes said: “Easier for me to get to but no.”
Paul Waldron said: “Away games only for me.”
Stuart Ball said: “The money I save on a season ticket will go towards all the away game.”
Claire Brolly said: “If I have to travel away then I’ll go away days only.”
Gordon Denny said: “No chance. CCFC through and through. 1958 to present day. Steward for the last 40 yrs. Can’t afford to go away. Will miss the money. Get it sorted. Here’s hoping.”
Kerry Blackaby said: “No home games for us. Another three season ticket holders they’ve lost. Looking forward to all the away games.”
