    The Ricoh Stewards meeting

    Was told that it is a footballing decision and it will the academy lads that are doing it from now on. Think it is a real shame if other kids are not involved - but fingers crossed the club will involve them in other ways.

    The Can't Go On Friday Thread

    very much doubt any events in the exhibition halls will be cancelled just because of a football match - no real reason to the site can handle both. Charity events may be switched say to the Sunday I would guess. Yeovil on 13th Charity game on 14th

    The Ricoh Stewards meeting

    Who employs the stewards now? - I think its the Ricoh isn't it? Who gave the briefing? ACL/Compass/IEC or CCFC?

    Mark Labovitch's time at CCFC in quotes

    Not so sure it is greatly strengthened ...... but agree that's a discussion for another time. Looking forward to having the boys back at the Ricoh PUSB's !!!

    Richard Keys

    From what I have read here Keys hasn't really said anything just let slip a line and people have jumped on it. I wouldn't want any of them involved in the club going forward. Hoffman and Elliott have been part of the problem. To be objective and honest about it, they have provided very little...

    This .......... although I would add the words and a capital return to that statement. The saga hasn't ended yet.....

    Sky Blues debated in House of Commons

    Well done for your coverage Simon. Where do you take it from here though? There are still many questions to ask of the club and its owners but also I feel of those that run the game. Will you and the CT press those questions to all those parties and get proper answers?

    Can Ricoh Ever Truly Be A Football Ground

    I think there is after all the disputes, the campaigning, emotional outpouring a real chance in terms of the fans to make the Ricoh "ours". Yes all the parties have to play a part, the club have to ensure we compete at the right end of the table, yes ACL need to agree to the club having some...

    Can Ricoh Ever Truly Be A Football Ground

    Coventry City will finally return to the Ricoh Arena on Friday after a season spent playing home games 35 miles away in Northampton. It's brilliant that the club have been reunited with their community. What has happened over the last year or so has been utterly, utterly diabolical. But it's...

    Pitch Status

    There are apparently 4 per year. The August one is by far the biggest. It is unlikely there will be similar damage to the playing surface caused by the November one

    Tim Fisher - On CWR at 9am

    if Turnover is key apparently and it is all about the club ......... is this too simple for an idea? .......... Otium book own events/exhibitions/concerts at the Ricoh in the same way other exhibitors/promoter/events companies do. Win Win all round isn't it? In basic terms hire the space and...

    Tim Fisher - On CWR at 9am

    I suspect that after all that has gone on the Charity has no desire whatsoever to sell to SISU or any entity connected to SISU (past present or future). In which case the only way TF can apply pressure on Charity and/or CCC is through the media. The interesting point comes in 2 or 4 years when...
