    RUMOUR - Sam Ricketts To Sign Tomorrow

    I was talking in general not particularly about Reda as obviously I don't know what is taking place behind closed doors. That said if TM wants him and he's not signed or in training it would seem he's stalling, so my guess would be he's waiting for either us or someone else to offer him better...

    RUMOUR - Sam Ricketts To Sign Tomorrow

    For the details and legal stuff they probably do but there's a difference between a player saying I want to sign for Cov, sort it out and saying stall as long as possible in case I get a better offer.

    Greece

    This is probably the most straightforward explanation I have read. A lot of parallels with the austerity cuts here as well except we haven't fallen off the edge of a cliff (yet). https://truthandsatire.wordpress.com/2015/07/03/greece-the-one-biggest-lie-you-are-being-told-by-the-media/

    Greece

    There's a chance Putin could bail them out, be very interesting to see the reaction of the EU if that happens.

    Season Ticket Sales

    Give it a go now, just tried it and got up to the point where you have to pay with no issues so whatever was wrong earlier seems to have been sorted.

    I think you might be referring to their academy not their first team facilities. The academy rules apparently set geographic boundaries that are due for review in several years. However there's no guarantee even then Wasps will be allowed to cover Coventry as I'm sure other local sides will have...

    Any idea what's caused the delay? Didn't they originally say they would stay based in London for the remainder of the 2014/15 season and then move?

    Coventry City Ladies.

    Actually I don't hate ladies football. I've been to see the England Womens team and have been to see Coventry City Ladies matches on several occasions. I went as, whether it existed or not, in my mind being named Coventry City and playing in sky blue connected them to the club I support. Now...

    RUMOUR - Sam Ricketts To Sign Tomorrow

    That's come from that rubbish twitter account. The one that said we'd be signing Proschwitz. They later claimed they meant he'd be signing for someone else not us! Ricketts may well sign but I think these chaps are just firing out as many rumours as possible so when one is right they can claim...

    And that will be the end of our academy.

    Season Ticket Sales

    For something like that if they had any sense they would pre print all the tickets and not let people choose where they were sitting. Would speed things up if you just said how many you wanted and paid instead of people who haven't been to the ground in years taking half an hour to decide where...

    Coventry City Ladies.

    Why is that? Do no other games take place at the Ricoh? What about things like local cup competitions at the Ricoh, will they be kicked out as well? Following that logic if only one team are allowed to play there won't we be getting kicked out by Wasps?

    Season Ticket Sales

    When they replace the ticketing system I hope they get something that can have mobile units. How good would it have been to have had a stand at the Godiva selling season tickets. With all those people there if you had various players there over the weekend and some merchandise for sale as well I...

    Wouldn't you schedule the games as usual and then move them to a Saturday for TV if required? We don't schedule all our games for weird times in case Sky want to show them. Interestingly Wasps trying to move their games to Saturdays while at Wycombe but their fans objected to the change being...

    Coventry City Ladies.

    Well clearly we shouldn't have been playing at Sixfields but that's not really relevant to the situation with the womens team so I would suggest the bad guy in terms of what is relevant to this discussion is whoever at the ladies team took the decision to schedule games so they clash.

    Coventry City Ladies.

    They only moved to the oval a couple of seasons ago didn't they and I think they might have initially split games between there and the Ricoh. Could be wrong as I can't recall the exact time line. Moving out of Coventry in itself was an odd decision, don't recall them being forced out and...

    Coventry City Ladies.

    The womens team scheduling games at the Ricoh at the same time the mens side were playing in Sixfields probably didn't do much to help the relationship between them and SISU.

    Season Ticket Sales

    Doesn't sound great Adge, did they try and do anything to enable those they couldn't serve to get the early bird price later in the week or were they happy just to let them walk away? Can't work out why it's quick and easy on the website and takes forever in the shop, must all feed into the...

    That's what I thought, we had to return to what kept being referred to as the Coventry area or face a fine. Although even that still had wriggle room as the FL could use their famous discretion if they felt sufficient progress was being made towards a new stadium. I'm not sure what rule we...
