But I think the new disguise of dark glasses,a limp and moustache worked I got through :laugh:

Thanks guys that worked on Chrome .... got through no problem :D

Cheers will give it a go

Have been trying to get online shop but it just keeps saying there is a problem. Same happens for my business partner when he tries. Have both requested the details of password etc several times over last week or so. No response. Clearly there are still issues and that wont help ticket sales...

report in the CT yesterday on tickets sold for Yeovil. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/coventry-city-fc-target-20000-7749325 Hope to be proven wrong but 20,000 on the 13th if only 5500 (match & ST) sold on 10th seems a big leap to me

I would still expect the feel good factor Otis as you say. It should not wear off in a week I agree but we look at it from a passionate CCFC viewpoint. I wonder just how many of the 27600 were in fact like you and I ....... I have the feeling that 50% were not - I hope I am wrong. If so many...

Like it or not Friday saw a stadium filled above normal levels with a sizeable number of "occasion seekers". There were lots of people who just wanted to be able to say "I was there". It was fuelled by a media frenzy and to some degree the manner in which the tickets were sold. The repeated...

The important thing certainly initially was to get people back in the habit and to maintain and build momentum. we will have to wait see if the price structure has added to that or not - I have some doubts that it has. The biggest effect on crowds though is going to be success on the pitch not...

agreed shmeee :) that's kind of why I put in the caveat of "probably not be that low" I wouldn't think there is any real reason to drop the ST or concession prices further prices are not bad for those, but even there I think there is room to manoeuver. Think you would probably end up around the...

£24 per full adult ticket. After you take out the VAT, season ticket discount, the concessions, the free tickets etc then the ticket income per person is around £9. If you dropped the ticket price from £24 to £19 that's a 21% drop so lets say that drops income per person to £7 - it probably...

this explains the level of fines that should be levied ........ £54m in the case of QPR http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29129536 It also seems the FL are prepared to sit and wait until QPR are relegated again if necessary It is wrong that clubs gain an advantage by ignoring the rules...

Didn't the FL say at one point that they monitored clubs budgets on a quarterly basis ....... if so the over spend should have been pretty obvious at the end of January transfer window and action should have been started then....... Instead they are considering action after the end of the...

Think you and I both agree it is essential to look forward and to work honestly towards a proper solution ....... raking up the past to apportion blame is not going to change what needs to be done. There are opportunities available will the parties look to take them ................

Where we were in January 2013 is not the same as where we ended up in August 2014. There are common elements that were compromised by both sides but the terms possible are very different. Along the way there were several proposals put forward in different ways that were basically rejected or...

Think she was fully aware of it Nick ....... in the Dean's interview he said she was at that first meeting for instance. She was I believe only away when the announcement was made The actual negotiations were between 2 representatives of CCFC and 2 from ACL as far as I am aware

Don't think that was or is the case. CCFC have been selling executive boxes and other packages haven't they (always have) that all included hospitality etc but they have to buy the food in from the stadium operators IEC rather than source for themselves Also the original lease included 900 car...

not sure I would agree with mr Chilton to be honest SBJ. For instance the catering company that operates the Ricoh Arena for the next 13 years is IEC Experience Ltd that is 77% owned by ACL. He says the council own 50% and financially supports the other 50% - the other 50% is the Higgs Charity...

I think it is pretty clear that both sides have had to compromise on this. January 2013 was frustrated bargaining positions on both sides nothing more, neither side publically were prepared to give or even countenance movement from entrenched positions. Both sides played hard ball but be it the...

I think the logistics of getting this done by CCFC and The Ricoh Arena in such a short time was always going to create problems. There are lead times to getting stuff printed, stock suppliers, staff, state of pitch etc and it has all been very (too?) short timelines for such a large event. There...

A very good concise summary of what went on. This is not over yet and there are still some serious problems to sort out.
