    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    I can name a number of large venues across the UK where that's the case... Grendel...you're looking at one night/week in isolation. And you're probably correct...trust me, any hotel worth it's salt, this won't be the case regularly. WM

    They're obviously not staying in classy establishments ;)

    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    Grendel, I didn't see Italias comments and not sure if I always agree with what he writes. But let me tell you this...I work for one of the worlds largest hotel companies (and I'm not a cleaner....) and by and large, Tues/Weds, major chain hotels are 90-100% occupied. Yes, up to 14 nights out...

    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    I don't know that hotel but do know of one major chain hotel in Coventry whom I work for that will run along the same lines as my earlier post. With regards to this one you mention, there could be a host of reasons why they have rooms free. They could've had a large group tour in (unlikely but...

    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    And in most major towns and cities, if you've got a good hotel, that's the case the majority of times. There will off course be exceptions. In places like London or other places where there's things to do, you'll then have high occupancy at weekends with leisure guests (although less so than the...

    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    And what rate will you pay for that? Listen, you're always going to get rooms available on some nights. In every major city, I gaurantee that many weeks out of the year, all major hotels are running at 90-100% (on Tues/Weds nights definitely, probably Mondays also). I know the hotel industry...

    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    Working in the hospitality industry, there's always a need for hotel rooms. You could hold a residential conference for a 1,000 people at the Ricoh and if you've only got 100 or so bedrooms, you have an issue. Then when you don't have large conferences, you have can have smaller meetings and...

    Great game this one...if I remember rightly, Bernie Slaven also scored a hat trick for 'Boro in this game as well. WM

    Franck Moussa...need him signing....any news?

    For me, one of the best signings we can make over the next 12 months would be getting this guy to pen a new contract. I'd like to think he would as we took a punt on him and he's done well. Infact, bloody brilliantly. I know he can be inconsistent but to score 15 goals primarily from midfield...

    Call for more pressure on FA & FL

    Unlucky my friend, unlucky. As if being a Cov fan wasn't bad enough. Chin up. WM

    The Treatment Table Thread

    Interesting thought that Tom...didn't think of that but you're right. If Burge keeps the spot when Murphy is back and fit, probably safe to assume Murphy is off in the Summer. WM

    Football's Doesn't Bring You Happiness

    Good post Robo. Feel sorry for him...at least he's still alive and will hopefully get to see more of his kids and hopefully those efforts to rally round will give him some more financial support. The moral other than don't go for a wee in Mexican nightclub toilets unarmed, is never trust a...

    Protest inside Sixfields

    Didn't see it mate, apologies if I did and berated you...don't think I would've though! I need to mail Michael about the petition so will ask him about organising a 'sell out' of Sixfields for the last game and see if we can get a singular point of organisation. Seems like the majority are up...

    I'm well behind what Michaels doing...what's stopping us from doing other things though?? WM

    Protest inside Sixfields

    I agree with not doing 'Why' and 'When' every game which is why I suggested the last game. Your walk out is good as well. Why not do the 'why' and 'when' on the minutes intended, then mass walk out on the 66th minute or something. Both ideas, one game, double whammy. My only concern is that...

    Protest inside Sixfields

    Sounds good, doesn't it?! We only need to offer visiting fans a % of available gate, so give them when they're entitled to and ensure that we buy the rest. Simples. WM

    The Official Petition Thread

    Oh....I don't know what the mean mate. Was just asking.... Joking aside, genuninely don't mate about that error code. IT specialists will tell you to double check the e-mail address is correct, that you don't have large files attached (which assume you didn't), restart your Outlook or web...

    Protest inside Sixfields

    Why don't we use the last 'home' game of the season as the next big protest and actually fill Sixfields and do the protests on the 34th and 65th minutes again? Sat 26th April Wolves could be chasing promotion, I'd like to think that TF would be there for the last 'home' game of the season and...
