    Coventry City staring into Football Abyss

    Nick think how big the city baths are then put that alongside the higgs centre (just the pool bit) ...... something has to be lost. In addition the indoor surface will need to be relaid if it is retained that will cost £100k or something like. Yes it is under threat at the moment, will depend...

    Coventry City staring into Football Abyss

    You see to me staring in to the abyss means imminent terminal disaster........ I do not think that is where we are as such but it makes a good tag for a headline. We have been closer in the past. Where we are is stagnated. Or put another way parked by the owners in L1 to find our own level on...

    Man in City Centre with a Sword (Broadgate)

    He was doing somersaults and back flips with the sword inside him.... then climbed a pole about 15ft still with the sword inside faced downwards and dropped stopping an inch or so from the stage.

    Why did Waggot leave City ?

    Yes it would affect it but this is not a new business and these are not inexperienced financial people. There is plenty of historical data that would help model the budget and allow it to be flexed

    Why did Waggot leave City ?

    no not as such but the changes would be minor. To be out by a factor of 25% is not what I was saying is normal. It means they under budgeted the costs of the business despite all the staffing and operational cuts in cost...... it is not about under budgeting turnover The budget sets the pot to...

    Why did Waggot leave City ?

    He played a part in it Nick but left at the start of the season. I suspect he left because he had very little to do and what was needed to be done could be done at a much lower pay grade. The thing about budgets though is that they dont have to be set in stone. They can be flexed or adjusted...

    Man in City Centre with a Sword (Broadgate)

    I wouldnt watch it normally but after the hip operation i have to sit in a particular chair because it has to be a minimum height and am at the moment too slow to grab the remote control! I think this is where the kids get their own back on dad with some reality TV torture........ I will get...

    Deering now a Director

    I would only guess that with Fisher spending so much time away on other projects that JS wanted someone she could trust to cover his absence and give her feed back. Deering is an employee of SISU and has been closely involved in all that has gone on You could also see it as lacking trust in...

    Man in City Centre with a Sword (Broadgate)

    Clearly the guy has problems, hope he gets the care he needs Did anyone see Britains got Talent. There was a guy on there doing sword swallowing, took it to a level that was life threatening, really do not think it should have been shown it was that dangerous.

    Leicester article by David Conn

    yes if they can maximise it to those figures and clearly without owning the naming rights to sell in the first place they cant. But then it seems there are not many takers anyway. So that means insufficient income to pay the salaries to compete at Championship level doesnt it? The other...

    Plan for Next Season

    I cant imagine any manager TM or a new guy would not plan to maximise results and to be successful. Any budget we have will be based on two things Ticket sales and the sale of Maddison 1) ticket sales. Going to be affected by how this season ends and how well the team starts. I would think...

    Calling the ticket office

    i would agree nick. The ticket system has to be better and has to be paid for Card entry in to the stadium is a different calculation of cost and I think less pressing than getting the tickets issued properly and quickly

    Calling the ticket office

    Fair enough CD but it still seems to me that the real problem is the human aspect of the ticketing system. Simply a lack of bodies being available creates a lot of the problems I have seen complained about. Yes there is a cost consideration but there is a cost consideration to dealing with the...

    Calling the ticket office

    I doubt the ticket system is a bespoke program for CCFC. It is much more likely that CCFC operate the program under licence and it is established with other clubs. That leads to to a couple of thoughts. Firstly that there are obviously costs involved on an annual basis and therefore piggy...
