    Just needs a few nights out at Jumpin Jaks with Joe Cole and he'll be fine.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    I can see the Butts as a viable option for 15-20K, moving past that I think you'd start to struggle. Shame the old folks place is being built. If that land was in the mix there might be more options, you could even consider incorporting office space and a theatre into any new build to replace...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    The Wasps ticket offers are back out in force, posted an example earlier in this thread. As for comparing corporate take up there is definitely a fair chunk of free hospitality at Wasps games, of course they can do that at cost in the hope of bringing in future business, a model which doesn't...

    Old record shops in town

    I don't remember clothes being sold, when are those pics from? Dread to the how much money I spent in there. Shame you don't get shops like that any more. My Saturday routine would be bus into town and a trip round all the record stores, lunch from Fishy Moores then up to Hits n Misses.

    Cole and Turner

    Did he mention Bigi? If he's said Turner is here short term to get fit but not made a similar comment to Bigi is that a hint he could be staying?

    A message to disillusioned parents!

    I took the wife to a match once, getting divorced now. Not sure the two events aren't linked.

    worried

    Agreed, obviously want to win and go top but if we lose I hope everyone doesn't lose the plot. We have a tendency to overreact to a defeat at the best of times.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Not sure I agree with this. What profile do Wasps have? I'm pretty certain if you went to any town centre and asked 100 people where Coventry City played a lot more would know the answer than if you asked where Wasps played. Similar if you asked who played at the Ricoh I'm sure more people...

    club shop arena park

    Haven't heard of any ticketing problems for this Sunday but they did manage to lose a whole batch of ticket orders off the system for the opening game this season.

    club shop arena park

    The cards are for ST holders and they aren't free to supply. Plus from what I am told the club was quoted a very high price to make use of the same system. Everyone else still needs to buy tickets and pay a booking fee. If you recall we did try using a card system that could be topped up for...

    club shop arena park

    Wasps used a white box ticketmaster 360 system. We could move to that but you'd be looking at charges of getting on for £5 a ticket. That would either need to be passed on or the club would have to take a significant hit on ticket revenue.

    club shop arena park

    Maybe they should pre-print blocks of tickets and you just get whatever is next? I know some will moan about not getting to pick but if they could print a limited amount for the shop and ticket office and leave the rest on line if you want to pick a specific seat.

    club shop arena park

    The ticketing is an issue and the feedback from the SCG meeting this week was that they know it is an issue. I can imagne if they are planning to scrap the current system as its not fit for purpose it is a fairly tricky task to switch systems midway through the season.

    Coventry City agree to extend Joe Cole's loan

    Without knowing the details of what, if anything, we are paying its hard to judge so I'll trust TM's judgement on this.

    Parking

    Apparently Tesco don't check these days. I park down Foleshill Road in one of the pubs clubs. There's quite a few down there and its pretty cheap and easy to get away. Just means a 5 - 10 min walk.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Lack of infrastrucute is way down the list of potential reasons this won't happen for me. As you say wasn't a problem at Highfield Road. Isn't a problem at Fratton Park which has bigger crowds than us, not a problem at Southampton or Arsenal either. They both managed to build new grounds with...

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Didn't ask about that, assume nothing will happen until the new guy has taken a look at everything.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    So if ACL were breaking even then and have more business now and CCFC is being run at break even why can't CCFC afford the Ricoh in L1?

    Are we now more or less happy squad wise ?

    It's like painting the Forth Bridge, as soon as you think its done someone will leave or get an injury! As it stands pretty happy, especially if this right back comes in. The key now will be the January window and who stays past then but given his track record so far even if a few people bugger...
