    Fixture clashes....

    For gawd's sake. There was no big moral statement. What a twisted perspective. I can't even figure out how you can interpret my reasonable annoyance with 1) Too many evening games ... my opinion, I am entitled to hold it. 2) selling one of our best players. ... as a big moral statement?

    Fixture clashes....

    I have already outlined my reasons for not getting a season ticket and evening matches is one factor in putting me off. On a Friday night with the M5 by Oldbury roadworks it is gridlock every week. It took a colleague 2 hours to get to Luton midweek match and he missed the whole first half...

    Fixture clashes....

    Glad I didn't get a season ticket after today. Friday night matches impossible for those of us who don't live near Coventry, in my case trying to get from Dudley in Friday rush hour traffic. Selling McNulty too is a kick in the head. This wil lose the club a few hundred fans x their £20+ for...

    2018-19 Shirt Launch and Evening with Mark Robins - 29th June

    Love it. A proper City kit. Looks one of the best. I will be buying 3 later today. On the stripes issue. Yes, we won at Wembley three times in stripes, so bring out a new stripy shirt every time we play at Wembley. Simple! To be pedantic though, we played in solid sky blue all season to make...

    Throwing Pints in the air to celebrate?

    We got covered at Wembley when our second goal went in. Block 233. Didn't mind at the time but seems a bit crazy

    West Brom Pre season friendly to celebrate the life of Cyrille Regis.

    Great fixture. Gutted they chose peak season for holidays. Does the Coventry fortnight still exist? Loads of people on holiday then. Never mind, hope it is a success.

    People That Dislike Football

    Football is more popular than live music. Random but true. Kids at my school are only vaguely interested in either. They are into gaming, YouTube and social media. Football and live music might fade a little in the coming decades, in this country anyway.

    Geez, some parents!!

    Lots of good points. However, at my daughter's sports day it was a small space with only a 50m straight sprint with a finish line. All you need is 3 adults to watch the line and spot who is first, second and third. In the case I am quoting there were no photo finishes. You just needed a pair of...

    Match Packages on Sale

    I might also add the flexibility of match packages enabled all 3 of us to get an extra game, the one that was a fiver. So that's 33 match tickets at total of £615. I like the flexibility. I like the fact that a Luton fan I work with made the trip to the Ricoh for the midweek game straight from...

    Match Packages on Sale

    Last year I bought two 12 match and one 6 match packages under 3 family names (all have supporter numbers as all have had season tickets in the past). £20 per match. Each time I attended a match I went online a few days before, selected my seats and then allocated them to the appropriate of 3...

    Geez, some parents!!

    In some ways I agree and it shouldn't matter. On the other hand if it isn't competitive then why bother pretending it is a competition, just have games instead. If someone is to be declared the winner then it matters that they are the winner, otherwise why not just have a race and then don't...

    Match Day Programme

    Looking at the coupons in the corner that could be something to include. Maybe some voucher or electronic QAN code thingee which could win goodies such as signed shirts or count towards season tickets or cup match priority.

    Match Day Programme

    I have the Bayern Munich one too. Went through it and found a match ticket inside. Nice thing to keep.

    Match Day Programme

    Apparently the modern world has room for both old and new. Newspapers may well wither and die but book sales are holding firm, magazines too. Vinyl has made a comeback and photograph albums will probably revive. The digital world will not replace print media. They will run alongside each other.

    Match Day Programme

    I buy one and always will. I like to have books, magazines, DVDs, vinyl records, photos in frames or albums, physical examples of stuff. They don't seem real to me in digital form or the cloud or wherever. Old school, I know. I tried a digital mark book as a teacher for a whole year. Felt...
