    How many of our fans are based in Coventry?

    Lived in Styvechale until 1992 when I moved away for Uni. Apart from around 6 months in 2000, when I'd just got back from living in Canada, haven't lived in the city since. Currently living in Southsea a couple of minutes away from Fratton Park. Will hopefully be moving back to Coventry, or at...

    They need a presence at the Ricoh Arena.

    The ticket office has always been OK but online has never been great. Since they started using this system its never worked properly in IE and thinks like the email confirmations have never appeared. Not sure if its the system itself or them not having it setup properly. Given the % of internet...

    They need a presence at the Ricoh Arena.

    The Ricoh must sell tickets for other things but I think they use Ticket Factory. Given the shambles our system has been maybe they could look into moving to that and everything they need would already be up there.

    Allsop 1st choice??

    You're missing my point. We've got Allsop until January, what happens then? If Burge isn't the answer than let him go and get someone else in who is. If he is the answer than get him in the team. I'm not convinced Allsop is that much better than Burge so it seems to be most of the benefit in...

    Fisher's Remarks...

    Fisher sounded even worse when you put it into the context of the whole interview. He was on with Waggott. Started off with Waggott being asked about his new role etc. He said his job now was to have a successful team, used his 60p in the £ goes to the team line again (although to be fair he did...

    Scottish Independence

    Of course, equally we could use the Euro or the Dollar but it's not a great idea as we'd have no means of printing our own supply of currency and would have to rely on it coming into the country another way. That's before you even think about the lack of a central bank and lender of last resort...

    Allsop 1st choice??

    I don't really see why we're playing Allsop, if he's that much better than Burge then we need to get a new, permanent, replacement in. If he's not that much better than why are we wasting time developing someone else's player when we could be developing our own?

    Scottish Independence

    Some of the arguments on the Scottish side seem a bit strange. They say they want the pound but have been told that won't happen and don't seem to have a backup plan. I don't see how they can go independent and keep the pound, they wouldn't be allowed in the EU for a start as adopting the Euro...

    joy seppala

    The only way they will get any of their money back now is to get the club to a position where it can be sold for a decent price. They will nowhere near get out what they have allegedly put in but there's no other plan that sees any return that I can think of. Hopefully tonight has showed SISU...

    Gillingham Match Thread - The Ricoh Return

    Couldn't ask for more really. A win on our return and a win in front of a big crowd. Haynes was immense, if the club have ambition we need to start holding on to players like him. Not convinced by Allsop. I don't see the benefit of playing him as a loanee. Not seen a lot of Burge but wouldn't...

    empty fookin seats !!!!

    Having worked on a lot of live events it always amazes me the number of people who buy tickets for things and never show up so you have to take that into account as well. From watching on the TV doesn't seem to be a great deal of empty seats. The corporates (obviously apart from the balcony bit...

    Gillingham Match Thread - The Ricoh Return

    Before we moved to this new system was he playing as a full back or a winger? He doesn't look like a left back when he's bombing down the wing and sending in dangerous crosses!

    Parking

    Car Park C is pay on the gate until it's full. I would say drive down Foleshill Road, there's always plenty of places down there. The shorter the walk to the ground you want the higher the price! I park down the far end next to the fire station and only pay £3.

    Planning on going in the away end tonight? Read this....

    That's never going to work, there's no mention of it on their site so not even their own supporters will have any of that with them.

    Gillingham Match Thread - The Ricoh Return

    A very winnable game and a good opportunity to get over the whole 'we never win in front of big crowds' thing. I'll go with 2-0 to us.

    The Can't Go On Friday Thread

    Think the only time you'd have an issue is if the police object. Maybe something like that dance music festival would be an issue. They might not want a pissed up football crowd mixing with a pissed up dance music crowd but in general you'd think it could handle both so long as they schedule...

    The Ricoh Stewards meeting

    There's some jobs listed on the Ricoh site, http://www.ricoharena.com/careers/ Some are clearly for matchday but others could be for different events.

    Car parking in the Ricoh area.

    Be worth checking the signs if you've planning to use Tesco, a lot of shopping places have started using ANPR and you automatically get a fine through the post if you're in there more than 2 hours. Not that they can legally enforce it of course but it's down to how much hassle you want.

    Quickest way away from the Ricoh?

    I usually park at the Three Horse Shoes on Foleshill Road (next to the fire station). Only costs 3 quid. 15 - 20 min walk back but then you're straight out, never had to wait or got held up in traffic.

    Update on ticket situation

    If it's pay on the gate for their fans the club must expect that there will be some of the not claimed season tickets available for our fans to pay on the gate. Can't imagine they'd allow pay on the gate if there's no tickets for home fans as its very obvious what will happen in that situation.
