    Pre season Tour......of Ireland (or just Dublin)

    Makes sense. Allows them to go away and do some team bonding without scratching around for teams to play or spending a fortune. Should also be pretty easy, and relatively cheap, for anyone that fancies going to watch them.

    Lack of action/ mowbray's demands

    Think some people need to pay attention to what Mowbray's plan is. If he's in no mad rush to sign players then should we really be as concerned as some people seem to be? http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-no-rush-new-9389273

    Gillingham (h) to be moved

    The Butts is an ideal location, 15 min walk from the train station and of course right next to the city centre. With 3 sides open could fairly easily and quickly be upgraded to something in the region of 10-15K capacity using temporary stands. However as a long term solution I'm not sure...

    Ched Evans

    Have to admit I haven't read much on this case but how does this work? If the woman can't remember what happened and didn't make a complaint how do the police even get involved let alone get enough evidence to secure a prosecution. How did they get from Evans and the other player, both of whom...

    More good news !

    I think there's 2 separate things that are getting mixed up here. THere's how our prices compare against others, that's only meaningful when you compare against others in this country. We come out pretty well on that front. Then there's the price of English football in general which is high...

    Ched Evans

    The last time I heard her talking about the club on CWR she referred to her being a supporter in the past tense so I would guess she doesn't go to games anymore.

    More good news !

    I would love football to be cheaper but when you compare it to other live entertainment it doesn't look such a bad price. Compare it to live music, an act would could shift 8 - 10K tickets would be looking at £40 a ticket minimum, many would charge £100 plus a ticket. Compare it to theatre, even...

    More good news !

    Not sure how you post tweets on here, that's if you can, but if you look at twitter.com/The_FSF (Football Supporters Federation) they have praised the clubs pricing saying "sends a powerful message throughout football".

    More good news !

    Beer prices don't really impact on me as I'm always driving after the game but I don't really get the need to buy beer at the Ricoh. It's expensive and crap plus you can't take it to your seat. Surely there's long enough in the pub before and after the game to manage to go a couple of hours...

    Season Ticket Sales

    What have you based the £2m on? What people are suggesting is not that SISU sell the business but that they sell the business and wipe out all the debt to SISU / AVRO and anyone else we owe money to. That seems an unlikely to me. We aren't an attractive proposition. We have crowds in freefall...

    Have we signed

    Mowbray was pretty clear about what his approach would be when talking to the CT and I see nothing to indicate anything has changed. He said he was happy with his budget and would identify roles that needed filling rather than individuals. Once that was established they would look for players...

    Season Ticket Sales

    Pompey had a season very similar to ours in the division below. They were favourites for promotion with the biggest budget in the division yet were getting drawn into a relegation battle leading to the sacking of their manager and eventually finishing 16th. They also had an embarrassing FA Cup...

    New kit announced in the coming days

    All you really need is ticket sales, replica kits & training gear and hats & scarves. Then add in the small bits and pieces and that's your lot. What are people expecting us to sell that needs a massive store? It's not like we've got 50K turning up every week wanting to buy anything with the...

    Coventry City Film Night

    When I lived in Cov, which was until I went off to Uni in 92, 'Cov is shit' was the general attitude of most people. Of course not knowing any better I assumed it to be correct. Having since worked in many different cities and countries I've realised its not that bad after all. Think what tends...

    Season Ticket Sales

    Doesn't what you are saying make it more likely the clubs statement is correct? If a lot of people aren't renewing the % of sales to new season ticket holders will be higher won't it? If everyone had renewed then the 670 new season ticket holders would make up a much smaller %

    Coventry City Film Night

    That's the one I looked into buying. Must be about 5 years ago when I looked into it.
