    Just Sport Group - Retail

    From what I can find out Just Sport Group and Avec Sports are not actually that big so its an interesting choice. But finally movement on a new kit that's got to be positive. How does the new deal work. It looks like Just Sports are a middleman on the supply of the kit. Are they more active in...

    CCFC Store moving to Arena Park

    A good move I think. The club shop should be at or very near the home ground. This is a positive step but only a step. Welcome though Whose name will the lease be in given the tie up with Just Sports (group)? and how long is the lease or is it an annual licence?

    Our local newspaper..

    Given the Trinity group is making redundancies in Coventry and Birmingham then I suspect the room for investigative reporting will be minimal and the CT will be aimed more online.

    Season Ticket Sales

    There are likely to be system maintenance and licence costs a proportion of which would be passed on to CCFC. In the real world that is not unusual or unreasonable. But it has to be at a fair value. Use of the card system would seem to be the best option in terms of efficient entry etc...

    Fifa officials arrested

    There is a summary analysis of the FIFA income and expenditure here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32923882 There does seem to be a lot of gaps in the information. Why do they need 1.5billion in the bank for "emergencies"? under 10% of income is spent on the special projects that...

    Coventry City start talks with defender Chris Stokes over new deal

    I think Stokes is a decent enough squad player who has the ability to improve. I do think he lacks a bit of pace though. Deserves a chance

    'Anti-SISU brigade'

    What the club have said about disabled facilities at the Ricoh Disabled supporters Do the on sale renewal dates still apply to disabled supporters? Yes, the dates apply for all supporters. Last season I supplied the ticket office with my proof of disability paperwork from the DWP. Do I need...

    Reda attracting interest

    The key has to be his availability to play. That is going, it would seem, to need input not only from the manager and coaches etc keeping him fit but also the player buying in to what is required and the advice he is given. I know everyone laughed about the comments about urine tests relating to...

    Fifa officials arrested

    Questions ....... on what grounds were FIFA (the body that governs above all the professional game) allowed to be a Charity? and to use that status to avoid paying tax?

    Fifa officials arrested

    apparently...... German newspaper Das Zeit have filed a story "Why Sepp Blatter deserves our support" on its website. It's completely blank, except for an invitation to click through to a second page of "Even more reasons to support Blatter". That's blank as well. The first comment at...

    New signings soon

    out of interest how many season ticket holders did we have last season. Around 5000 wasn't it? If that's the case 6000 this coming season is pretty much just standing still in terms of income given the price reduction just to be clear that's not a dig or complaint I think the new prices are...

    Why Pressley will never make it as a manager

    Every manager has players that he inherits from his predecessor. Every manager will miss out on their first choice even Mourinho or Wenger sometimes even their 2nd 3rd or 4th. We don't actually know that some of them were not his 1st choice now do we. Yours like mine is just an opinion The...

    Why Pressley will never make it as a manager

    Sorry but I do not see the same calibre of manager as you. What were his successes and did they outweigh the failures? The U18's finished 4th not bad but the U21 team finished bottom but one. A lot of the work on the academy players was put in before SP even arrived by some good coaches...

    New kit announced in the coming days

    apparently club shop (not ticket office) is shut for stocktaking from 12 : 30 today. My guess is that they will take delivery of the shirts after the year end 31/05. Counting the stock shouldn't take long though should it ...... all over by 1pm ? :thinking about:

    Fifa officials arrested

    I think Blatter will try to spin it that he became increasingly aware, had talks with authorities and instigated the ball moving against corruption at FIFA. You could hear that course in the De Gregorio interview yesterday. I think the sponsors carry more power than the federations involved...
