there's a nice little montage on the website at the bottom of the page. http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/rip-jimmy-hill-coventry-city-statement-2810159.aspx

it really is difficult to say what Jimmy Hill meant to Coventry - the football club & the city - at various times throughout his life. I missed the late 60s but my grandfather who first took me up the City had wonderful stories and memories of that time. I had the pleasure of knowing Jimmy from...

yep. call a truce, get a football and have a game in no-man's land then after Xmas return to the trenches and do it all again. Same people have been having the same arguments every few months since last Xmas with no noticeable changes in position.

reading further down there are interesting stats on the impact of moving to a bigger stadium and of a promotion to the Championship.

a stunning figure for Brighton is that they have 3000 corporate guests per match according to their brochures.

it's not really about viewing figures as such but was about the local profile of both clubs and why we in particular seem to struggle with attracting quality local sponsorship & corporate revenue. The example highlighted was the difficulty in even attracting shirt sponsors at times. And is Wasps...

don't have BT sport but i've been told there are live or delayed showings of nearly all the matches. all european games are broadcast somewhere live - not just in the uk. this is again drifting off topic which was whether we are "off the radar" as someone stated and would a return to the...

you obviously have the attention span of a goldfish. this part of thread development came about when the grown-ups were discussing bond financing in relation to the Ricoh and possible new stadium finances. Nothing to do in particular with Wasps except as a relative comparison in the financial...

my understanding is these clubs have 22 league games and about 6 european games broadcast.

But again how often is a non-Premier league club on the tv? 15-20 second goal highlights aren't what sponsors are interested in. The football league highlights show is 72 clubs squeezed into an hour. If we're live on Sky 2-3 times a season that's a million views and 6-7 hours primetime. A...

people had questioned Reuben's bottle - seems okay to me.

pretty cynical approach from Utd - or is it called professional & pragmatic nowadays.;)

this isn't an attack on the football club. Just a bit tired of unrealistic assumptions about the realities of the financial situation. People have been through in depth over the last 18 months the finances of the championship particularly in relation to revenues. It seems to me that a Rugby...

sorry based on what? Rugby has a higher media profile (in particular TV coverage) than football outside the Premiership. More attractive to sponsors. Also rugby seems to have a different sponsorship base to football anyway. My understanding was the Wasps corporate hospitality etc. was selling...

i don't think we're off the radar as such but it's just a fact that no-one is going to be interested in a club with our debt levels regardless of whether we are close to breaking even or not. I'm not convinced championship football would make us that much more attractive to people when...

They make some of those grounds look quite respectable. Plough lane, the Dell and Ayrsome Park were horrible grounds to go to particularly before it went all-seating. I'll give them Maine road and Highbury. I do wonder about West Ham fans and how they'll feel a few years down the road if they...

I'm not sure SISU could have done it through the football club due to the level of debt to the owners and no written guarantee that their loans wouldn't be called in. SISU could possibly have done it through a new entity but then we are back in the situation of the football club stlll being a...

nothing new. same people arguing about the same things that they've argued about once or twice a month for the past 2/3 years. we'd been doing so well it seemed as the last couple of months seemed to be just about the football but all good things must come to an end.
