Sky blue Kid as support????1 whole hour of Otis doing his best stand up routine before every home game.
1) ST holders get JPT group games free and can take another(s) for a quid.
2) Need to encourage more kids to attend games, we all went when we were 5yrs + but you just don't see that anymore
3) Get people to arrive early and stay later - reduced prices before 2pm and then 5-6.30pm for example.
4) ST holders get a 25% discount at the club shop
5) free ticket on your birthday!
Guy above seemed to know a bit about working at ccfc and suggests their under staffed.
Ideas are cheap, theres some great ones on here but they all cost time and money to implement. Surley anybody whos job it is to promote the club would of thought of these ideas already. I can only imagine they just dont have the staff needed on top of the basic duties of running a football club.

And this is why we want the ideas, maybe fans could pitch in and assist if the club made a request, many teams where budgets are squeezed and resources tight have fans who help out on a variety of tasks but they need to ask. To date, I don't think the club has asked for anyone to help out.
I think the commercial side has improved this year, would be nice to know what his targets are so we can help out and he didn't call the employees useless, he was referring to the dedication of the senior leadership team which is completely different.
Great ideas coming forward (apart from the Otis gig) Keep them coming and I will ensure they get to the generals in charge.
I completely agree. This is what the club does fail to do. I do struggle to understand why the club doesn't utilise our fanbase to further the CCFC brand within Coventry and Warwickshire. Sky Blues in the Community could really benefit from this as they could use all the help they can get. Commercially it may not be as effective but it wouldn't hurt to consult with the Sky Blues Trust as a networking partner so to speak; as they'd be effective in knowing the right people to recommend to the club within the area.
I'd understand if the club didn't air their commercial targets as there needs to be an element of non-disclosure in every business, but I too would like an indication of its annual aims - as you said it would allow the fans to understand what the club needs to push on.
Well I actually said he was calling them 'effectively useless', which was certainly what he was implying as he apparently couldn't understand what Dave Boddy "does all day." That questions his ability as a CEO in my eyes which his wholly unfair. Even questioning his desire is unfair and ridiculous when he has zero evidence so far to support such a statement, unless you care to disagree...?
Starting this season / pre season it looks like the promotion of SBITC and the JSB family zone stuff has been a lot more noticeable from CCFC. Even things like "come to family zone" and tweeting it all etc which I didnt notice before.
Sorry i was talking about the cov uni staff but yeah same with the students

Must be someone knew as it was Laura Hunter who was doing it before and she's working at Southampton now.I've too noticed this. I haven't seen anything from CCFC suggesting a new social media administrator as been brought in (correct me if I'm wrong please), but they've clearly come on leaps and bounds in this area this season.
Just to get people to make it an event rather than rock up to the game and go homeThere are a fair few kids there, also at the kids parties.
What benefit would there be to the club in arriving earlier and going later?
And a free ticket on your birthday too. After all, it's not all just about me.
It didn't have to be your exact birthday, I think they do it in phasesWhat if we aren’t playing on my birthday? Seems unfair.

I can question whoever I want. I have seen no evidence of Boddy doing much to promote the club to the community. How hard would it be for him to go on the radio a few times?
You think it is wrong for us to question what Boddy is doing all day, so presumably you know the answer. Why not tell us what he has been doing?
My main point, which you missed, was that a local business person would have much better contacts with the local community than someone like Boddy who has no affiliation with Coventry. I am not blaming Boddy for that, I am blaming SISU as they decided to appoint him.
Thing is, things like that didn't go overly well when Brdy tried it..., "Working at the club today but have an hour spare and would be open to fans questions, tweet now and I will try to reply in the next hour with answers" won't suit everyone but it's a form of positive communication.

They do it month by month , my birthday was in May and I was invited for the corporate meal in August .It didn't have to be your exact birthday, I think they do it in phases
My question would be why they're bothering refurbishing it, if that were the case (even if it is with voluntary labour!).Not to cause a witch hunt or anything but I've been told from a reliable source in the Sky Blues Trust that Boddy has been busy trying to push the sale of the training ground, picking up Venus and Slade's good work. Get your pitch forks ready lads.

James, I totally agree and the commercials side has been a real improvement along with twitter etc.
For me, a CEO & COO/MD should be setting strategy and implementing it and for it to be done well, needs to be communicated to all staff and where possible, to those who can make a difference and that's the part where I think he could really transform some areas of fan involvement. There are plenty who won't because of SISU but equally, there are thousand who will as witnessed at Wembley last year where I am sure some said nopm and then changed that day.
Communication is essential and for me, simple things like a tweet from him or the club, "Working at the club today but have an hour spare and would be open to fans questions, tweet now and I will try to reply in the next hour with answers" won't suit everyone but it's a form of positive communication.
Not all the ideas on here will have been thought out by those in the club as they are all generally above the age of 35-40, many of them could be done for free and the supporters trust could assist on these along with others
What puzzles me is why they don't have two universities on the door step but don't offer unpaid internships? Students already understand the value of work experience for their CV, therefore you'd assume many would jump at the chance to spend a few weeks at a reputable football club. So, once again I fail to comprehend why CCFC don't take advantage?
How do you know they don't already do that?
I could well believe that!I've spoken to a member of the current staff. They say there's not enough manpower to oversee a regular flow of interns.
Kids pay parents come free. That will do for me.
