Just heard on the radio that CCFC ladies team is to be known as Coventry United Ladies. Anyone got any ideas what on earth that is about????
Maybe they have had enough of the city who do nothing for them
It wasn't long ago that the majority of this forum were ready to jump ship and support Coventry utd.
I've been told personally by people 'in the know' that CCFC had very little interest in the ladies set up. This is a shame as the profile of women's football is slowly but surely growing and it looks like yet another example of mismanagement by SISU.
Dave I disagree with your comments wholeheartedly you have not got the right sense of perspective on this one. You cannot have a partnership where one partner does not even communicate with the other. It is not about being dazzled by cheque books it is about on-going support and belief in what the ladies team are doing.
In an interview on CWR the chairman said that they were not allowed to play at the Ricoh again as the new owners said they could not accommodate.
Can't see how or why ccfc should help. A
Love the way it sll SISUs fault!
Should we divert funds to CCFC ladies then?
Irrelevant
What a load of crap. The club can't play at the Ricoh and ccfc have never supported the team as far as I know and they shouldn't. Can't see any benefit whatsoever.
Summed it up brilliantly there, CCFC have never supported the team so why should they stay affiliated with a club that don't support them in any shape or form.
Football clubs should not change their name or colours, certainly not without a full consultation and support of the fanbase. That overrides everything for me.
Would you be OK with SISU deciding to change our name and colours?
You can't deny that from a name recognition standpoint it does huge damage. If you switched on the TV and saw a team called Arsenal Ladies playing in red you would instatntly recognise them, if that same team was called Highbury United and playing in blue you wouldn't have that same recognition.
But you said it is an appalling decision without actually weighing up the situation. CCFC wouldn't even communicate with the Ladies team so what were their options?

What has CCFC communicating with the ladies team got to do with anything. That's not a new thing that goes back years. It certainly doesn't give those running the ladies team the right to change the clubs name and colours.
As I asked before the mens team are in the same position, would you be OK with SISU changing the teams name and colours?
I agree with your posit regarding name and colours of the mens team. But why is it ok for the club not to support the ladies team and then you are appalled when they take another route?
You may not like it, but these are the facts. Those that say bollocks or don't believe it are the ones that have the heads firmly up the arses of our great owners. Tell me when was the last article on the CCFC ladies section on the club's website?

I would say that if SISU were going to get a large chunk of their investment back by changing the name and colours, they would do it and wouldn't have the same decency as yourself in asking if we were ok with it.
