    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    I'll probably have a block to myself. 50/50 at the moment. If I don't the lad will be devastated though. Will make a last minute call.

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    You're comparing apples with oranges though. The point about away games is that people will pick and choose and make a judgement at the time as to whether they want to go- which might depend on where it is, the time of year, how well we are doing at the time, what sort of away day it is, how...

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    This. A blanket price freeze would be bad enough given the season we've just had, but the fact they have put prices up in certain blocks (and remember prices went up for those people last season as the season before there were no zones) is, quite frankly, staggering.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Not disputing much of this, and clearly he was massively distracted during his time as a director. Quite possibly he should have resigned earlier; but that doesn't negate the fact he probably didn't have direct input and influence over the day to day running of the business. Not saying he is...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Not sure I necessarily agree about Hoffman. He was hardly hands-on during his time on the board, and his appointment to it coincided with him taking the job on at Northern Rock - which was in a terrible state when he went there, so hardly a part-time undertaking. Not sure how much of a...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Senior roles at Barclays, Northern Rock and now CEO of Hastings Insurance iirc. Clearly successful and well connected, but I doubt he has the personal wealth to launch a bid on his own, but that's never really been on the cards. Whether these rumours are true or not, it wouldn't surprise me if...

    Trafalgar Square/Covent Garden Saturday

    Believe so. Mate just sent a text. He's in the World's End, and says a lot of city out and about around Camden Town. Gutted I couldn't go down today - have a few for me!

    Trafalgar Square/Covent Garden Saturday

    Get yourselves to Camden boys, sounds like it's lively!

    Trafalgar Square/Covent Garden Saturday

    Why would you go to Trafalgar Square? There's nothing there (pub wise). Covent Garden or Camden fine. In fact a mate just text from a pub in Camden and it's rocking. There are thousands down there tonight, but the idea everyone was going to get together in one place when there is a pub on...

    Trafalgar Square/Covent Garden Saturday

    It's London. There's a million places to go. Everyone will be spread out and doing their own thing. Don't get Trafalgar Square, nothing to do other than stand about drinking a warm beer from a can. Leave that to the Scots.

    32,000 sold already

    They're just releasing a few seats here and there. The odd return and small areas that might have been reserved for whatever reason. There are only 25 seats in the lower tier available - which will sell, and if they don't there won't be large gaps - plus we have sold 3 blocks of the additional...

    32,000 sold already

    Been a nightmare getting on to buy tickets since the announcement earlier. Sat in a queue for ages. Not sure if its a late rush or a glitch.

    Match Thread Coventry v Bristol R Match Thread - Saturday 25th Mar

    Many, but the good work he does seems to go unnoticed. There was a passage of play today, early in the 2nd half I think, when he was outstanding. He broke up play, there was a vital tackle, he was neat and tidy with the ball, played a couple of good forward passes into feet and covered a huge...

    Match Thread Coventry v Bristol R Match Thread - Saturday 25th Mar

    Bigi had a good game today imo. Not a MOTM performance sure, there were a number ahead of him, but I am sure people can look beyond the odd stray pass when assessing his performance? He sees a lot of the ball, so of course he will give it away from time to time. This isn't bloody Barcelona. His...

    Match Thread Coventry v Bristol R Match Thread - Saturday 25th Mar

    Feel like an away fan today. It's all a bit depressing. 20 mins to get served in the casino don't help.

    Tim Fisher's 25,000 claim......

    Yeah, and probably before the offices next to the old college, so it would certainly need looking at again.

    32,000 sold already

    The front rows of those blocks in the upper tier you mention were originally not released for sale for some reason. I think 248 relates to some of the seats that were reserved by the club - possibly for staff, player families etc. and those unsold have been released. The others dotted around...

    Mr Fisher said......

    Could be wrong, but isn't FFP based on revenues in previous seasons? After tomorrow our average will be around 9K which based on league 2 this season would make us the second best supported club. It is a reasonable assumption that we COULD have a top 8 budget. Support will plummet next season...

    Tim Fisher's 25,000 claim......

    The quote from Jon Sharp in May 2016 was: "The current lease has planning permission for a 13,000 seater stadium, this could be easily replicated and expanded. This is from when the stadium was first built, 11 years ago. The initial study indicated that a ground holding as many as 25K could...

    Tim Fisher's 25,000 claim......

    Well, quite. SISU's inability to deliver on anything makes it all very unlikely. The key point though, in the context of the thread and wider discussion on capacity, is that the 25K feasibility is simply being repeated by the club. It was CRFC who declared it is feasible based on a study they...
