The advance against guaranteed season ticket income is not exclusive to Coventry City as Godiva mentions. It does make for some nice 'Oh no! Click here!' Telegraph website hits though. Not that I'm cynical about the Mirror Group's journalistic philosophies or anything.
In my last game just before a restart I took Cov up first season by the playoffs before launching a record-breaking losing streak. I resign in November before I take them down and Shearer takes over and miraculously keeps them up. Even more miraculously, 12 straight PL defeats is all Man City...
I think the good thing is that nobody responded petulantly to a fairly accurate article written for an opposition fansite. Obviously if everyone here wrote about the other 23 clubs not a single disparaging word would be said.
The average fan knows nothing about any proposals outside the same promises we were made last time we were taken over. But it's alright, 'The Hoff' is a Cov fan so that plus crossing fingers really hard = success!
There are plenty of reasons to complain about SISU, but the fact that the club are actively trying to encourage fans to buy tickets is a bit of an odd one.
I can only assume other clubs who aren't owned by pantomime moustachioed villains just sit back as the cash flies in.
Chelsea in the cup is the only sell-out so far. The Blackburn game was a cracking atmosphere, but there were only 22000 or so there. Anyone remember when we came back from 2-0 down against Newcastle to equalise right at the death? I've rarely heard noise like that at the Ricoh.
That's some poor goalkeeping, agreed.
There's a fairly famous video of Totti scoring a far better backheel penalty. It's just in training mind you, but if we were to sign him I guess I could live with it.
Pre-season warmup games normally being a hotbed of activity for board members, of course. Up and down the land, high-ranking suits are slumming it with a weak tea at Altrincham and contracting disease off a dodgy burger outside Aylesbury Town.
Heading to Tesco shortly so I thought I could nip in to pick up my ST. Can't find anything on the official site about opening times, anyone know if it's open today?
