Coventry City FC - It's Heart v Head Time
Other commitments mean that I'll miss the last home match of the season against Watford. Therefore yesterday was my last game of the season having long since abandoned any plans to waste time and money travelling up to Middlesborough.
I now find myself in a position I haven't been in for the last twenty years. Having to make a decision on whether to renew my season ticket.
It's always been pretty much a foregone conclusion. Despite everything we've had to endure my heart has always ruled my head. Coventry City has become a personal habit. It's what I do; it's part of my DNA.
Problem is. I'm not enjoying it anymore. I'll go further. I'm bored. Fed up with potential not coming to fruition. Disillusioned with the miserable quality of our football. Sick and tired of the same old same old !
I need a break to get my appetite back. Normally the summer break is sufficient but that just might be long enough this time round.
I'm therefore giving myself 5 weeks to make a decision. If I haven't renewed by the Early Bird deadline of May 23rd then it just won't happen.
Before I part with my cash and more importantly make the regular commitment of my time I need to feel that it's going to be better.
I need to know that of the 23 games I watch that unlike this season I'll see more than 2 or 3 that will be worth turning up for.
I need to know that the players who wear the Sky Blue shirt will give their all in every 90 minutes of every game.
I need to have faith that the manager can motivate the team. That he can get them playing even when the chips are down.
I need to know that the club are committed to signing the 3 or 4 quality signings we need to take us to the next level.
I need to know that if next season looks like heading in the same direction as this one that the people at the top are prepared to make tough decisions. Regardless of friendship, putting aside personal pride. Being prepared to admit when you've got it wrong.
If come May 23rd I feel that I don't know the answers to these questions then for once I feel my head might just rule my heart.

Well written, feel the same, ã411 for more rubbish not wanted , won't pay this to see singing cats at a concert, so , why pay to see more Sunday morning pub team in disguise.
Will the proper CCFC team please stand up!!!
I have been a season ticket holder for almost 40 years, and I 've never felt so despondent. It has to be the worst season ever for quality. I could forgive them for that if they had kept up the hard work they were putting in until after the Cardiff match.
After 33 years I was in the same position this time last year. I decided not to renew and I can honestly say that I have not regretted it. I did it with a heavy heart but enough was enough. Notihng I have seen this season from the times that I have seen City has urged me to return next season.
Earlier this season, I believed the Sky Blues had great chances of getting into the play-offs, now I feel an idiot for believing that could happen. Since the Cardiff game at the Ricoh this season, it's as if the players have totally given up. Recent performances are not worthy of this amount of money! We need players with desire of reaching the top tier.
We've arreivd at the end of the line and I have what I need!
If your arictles are always this helpful, I'll be back.
