The Sky Blues receive Family Excellence Award after a record number of attendances in the matchday Family Zone...Coventry City are proud to receive ‘The Football League Family Excellence Award’ for the 2015/16 season.
Created in 2007, the Award recognises the outstanding experience provided by clubs for young fans and families as part of a scheme that won the Gold Award at the European Professional Football Leagues’ Best Practice Awards.
Well done to all, especially Pat Raybould and her team of volunteers. I have never thought that their work gets enough recognition or support (including from the club itself) so its good to see them and the club get this award
Excellent news. The volunteers are always friendly and great with the kids in all the activities. It is certainly growing in popularity with young supporters; this season we didn't win the draw to go pitch side during the warm up. Pat is always busily encouraging the JSBs to join in and talk to the current and legend players who turn up. And she and the other volunteers always have time for the parents.
I would like to see the club giving them a greater resource as I'm sure there are other things they would love to do with the youngsters.
So if any of the volunteers are on this forum...Thank you all for your time and effort over the season. It is appreciated by the JSBs and the parents.

You would have to say that the JSB/Family area has been the single consistent shining light in the deep dark mire that has been CCFC for many years
MBE for Pat - why not
not wishing to detract from the excellent work that Pat etc do but this is like a quality standard not a best in class award. Something like 40 other clubs also won it this year too

The family zone still remains one of the positives at our club in my eyes though
It would be nice for the local paper to acknowledge it though wouldn't it, for the esteem of those involved as much as the club
It turns out it was!

Have to find it underneath happy birthday kilcline and all the other important stuff!
It should be great news with a nice article, rewarding for the people who give their matchdays up!
In fairness I've spoke with AT who has complimented their work so whilst it might not be headline news, they do acknowledge the work put in
For those asking, advice is for anyone wanting to make any donations to support the FZ, you can send a cheque to the club, marking them for the attention of the FZ (or Mark Hornby as a named person as he is the clubs point of contact). Cheques payable to CCFC (family Zone). Not aware of any other payment methods available at this point.
That's the thing, I haven't had a cheque book in about 15 years since school
