The other one is the back end of the retail park so imagine it has little impact.

Definitely either the coventarian charting complete shite or you’re right that it’s only him they have a problem with. I like 3/4 others after his comment work in Birmingham and every blues fan I work with, which is a lot cause I work a stones throw away from St. Andrews don’t mind us being there as we don’t affect their games. They are also very sympathetic of us being homesless. Yes you get the banter but it’s more cities of Coventry vs Birmingham rivalry rather than the football so maybe the coventarian is just a proper victim or plays the victim card at work lol

Or he's trying to push something.
Remember Birmingham have financial problems and CCFC's contribution is mainly bunce and adds to the income for Fair Play ( or whatever ) calculations

Which would be strange for someone who doesn't go to games or ever look at match threads.

Of course the flip side of that is the businesses getting more trade. Sure the pubs nearby don't object to the extra custom.

I know it doesn't really mean anything but the rumour was being talked about quite a bit yesterday at the ground and most people seemed to be of the opinion that it would be happening.

Had this too. Difficulty is trying to explain the circs, they don't realise how many different parties have blood on their hands.
Lived over this way and worked in Brum for nearly 40 years, all the blues fans I know are fine with it and empathic with our dilemma. Bit of banter at how the "cak" have fallen from grace after so long a top flight club, but nothing hateful. Only bad word they have for us is Ferguson helping to send them down.

How do you know he never looks at match threads?
I read most the threads on here but half the time I am not logged in so it wouldn't show up.

Had a lad behind us at Bristol he had a blues top on said he had a season ticket for both Brum and Cov as he was blues and his missus was a Sky Blue. Did cheer us on.
Commented on how well we play did say we could do without a reply as the pitch is starting to cut up.

he doesn't, never comments on football matters. But always all over the 'political football' threads.
Him and a few others. Or are you suggesting there usernames appear in users who have viewed this thread list for all the Ricoh and wasps threads but they log out for the match and player ratings?
That seems implausible to me.

Don't know if it has been mentioned, but the pitch at the Ricoh looks horrendous, there is a clip on twitter of a whole slab of the pitch coming up clearly showing that the pitch wasn't given the time to set in.

I think the events were booked anyway.

The guy that sits next to me his daughter has something to do with hospitality at the Ricoh in a management position, he was saying they have been sounded out about working extra weekends but not told the reason for the request. might just be people adding 2+2 and coming up with 5

That's what happened, the time scale was dictated my events already booked in the arena. the pitch is actually holding up quite well section have lifted a couple of time when there has been a scrum on a join in the turf but generally it looks to taken very well, the big difference this year is less activity on it and the grass has been left slightly longer.
