I recall that in the '60s there was a bus strike and the Bees started what they called 'Operation Beeslift' where people driving to Brandon gave lifts to those that normally caught the special buses. Can't something like that be organised on here to help out those with transport problems to St Andrews?
I was thinking along these lines too (but really didn't want to start another thread on the subject).

Could we start co-ordinating train buddies / car shares? Even if it's just a 'we're all on this train' for people that don't want to travel alone. For example I'll be travelling from Banbury with my boy (most likely train) and I know from posts on here that there are a few other Banbury folk too. I'm not bothered about matching username to real person, just the commonality of being a Cov fan and wanting to go to a game.

Let's try and make something positive out of the situation.

Well there’s 3 of us season ticket holders for years only 1 lives in Coventry, but after discussing this we’ll not get season tickets, if we can coordinate it we will attend some games. We’re all gutted but too old now to do this on a regular basis

Four seats bought. Cant wait for the season to start. Kit launch is being planned, too.

Yeah the contract with BCFC can be terminated at any point and the EFL will allow us to change venue as we’re moving back to our home city.

Was looking at joining a blues forum to ask some questions - any recommendations - there was more life in Jimmy Hendrix than the first one i tried

The unofficial count is in: 383 currently

I've just counted 387. Yep, no life whatsoever. I guess with corporate and boxes which aren't shown, we're probably heading towards 500.

Box prices are pretty decent actually. £4K for a box of 10. Pretty decent option if you can get 10 people together.

It might be worth contacting the Leamington supporters to see what they’re planning.

The London Supporters are working out if we can still go via Cov (to keep supporting local businesses) along with working out meeting pubs in Brum.

A lot will come down to when we play as we might be switched to non-Saturdays.

I counted just shy of 400 too. (Shouldnt we all have jobs to be doing?). We are probably running a deficit of £1.25M on season ticket/corporate revenue (at least) based on current sales. That’s probably not far off half our playing budget. Can only assume there is some sell-on/Baylis windfall lined up to cover it

I hope we announce another signing soon so that we can start taking about football instead of politics

Got mine and a JSB. Just down the road for me, so I’m used to the Birmingham — Coventry trip on match days. FWIW I can leave my house after 2pm, make it to the Ricoh for KO, and be home (near Edgbaston) by 6pm via KFC. Doubt I’ll be home that much sooner from St Andrews.

Though seemingly you could soon be on your way to meet him by all accounts.

God is a tricky little devious barsteward though and the following year after your death the City would win the Premier League title no doubt.

Otis has given you at least two years life.

Enjoy.
