Towards the end of August, the first team squad undertook their first community visits of the season. Their commitment is that at least once per month the players will visit the schools and community groups in Coventry and Warwickshire, many of the players personally supporting some of the 31 Sky Blues in the Community projects, which had nearly 19,000 participants and over 232,000 hours of sessions last year.
I agree and hopefully if it's a success they will increase the frequency of these. I may be wrong but our players like those at other teams only train until early afternoon on weekdays, so could do afternoon visits to schools etc several times per week.
Jodi Jones is helping coach a local kids team, think a few of the other players might be involved. They train in the memorial on Thursday evenings. Nice to see the players getting involved in things like that.
I for one have always wondered what footballers do with their afternoons when training is finished....there's only so many episodes of Homes Under The Hammer you could sit and watch, surely?

I heard this too - allegedly he didn't take kindly to being approached by our fans whilst in the bookies, from what I heard. Pretty sure Mick's off-field lifestyle was atypical of the average player though!

That reminds me - a friend of one of my kids was excitedly texting her last week that he had a celebrity in the train carriage with him. He then was even more thrilled when said celebrity posed for a selfie.
She showed me and I said I was surprised he knew who he was. She looked at me puzzled and said she didnt know how I knew as I'd never seen homes under the hammer.
