Doug mentioned today about how the ground should reflect the identity of the club, and then in the press release said about how they will be working on this over time.

My proposal is something along these lines. What else do you want to see?

Holograms of past players serving you food and beverages

Sky blue bells back but this time they are over 18 like Dallas cowboys cheerleaders

Murials and memorabilia everywhere on concourse

Videos playing old classic cov games not just always sky sports news

Some of these more realistic than others!

Bollocks to nostalgia. Sell the stand names like shirt sponsors for a season or more. Make Frasers spell Monzo as long as they pay for it. All goes into the war chest.

I think the subtle touches already make a real difference…

For example, if you watch Doug’s interview from yesterday, there’s a strip of sky blue at the bottom of the frame with the ‘cofa’s tree’ graphic; a small detail but, for me, something that makes us look like a professional club, with a proper identity, again.

I’d like to see more local businesses brought in - and bought in! - to the match day experience. Extend the F&B offering to better reflect the city’s diversity/identity - offer more South Asian and Caribbean options - and make the stadium truly local (a’la Clarkson’s Farm principles) so it is more than ‘just’ a football stadium. Encourage more SMEs to realize the value of being affiliated with the club - i.e. Byatt's Brewery and Shire Foods - while supporting / encouraging more local manufacturers and suppliers.

I’d like to see Coventry & Warwickshire schools offered free stadium tours as standard - encourage more kids to get behind the team - offer a 20% discount in the club shop for the tour group and let the kid’s loose with their pocket (or parent’s) money…

A full playlist of The Specials and two tone stuff, an away end with upturned spikes on the seats, no toilets and the away fans have to walk through a gauntlet of dangerously close pyrotechnics to enter the stadium. They are only released four hours after the game.

I've said to friends from day one the roof frame outside should be lit-up with blue lights, similar to the way the Wembley arch is.

One thing I’d love to see not only as it would a weird gap but also because It links to our past and reminds everyone who owns the joint.

Get the old highfield sign above the window in the east stand.

A block on Internet in the ground and the only way you can find out half time and full time scores is to have program with:
Match A
Match B
Match C

And the scores to be read our by some chap with a mic in a wooden box. That would be progress and give us some identity. Doug really needs to take this idea to Dragons Den

Failing this unique initiative, perhaps just moving the TV Gantry, putting more club crests up, changing the seats to CCFC, not Frasers. We are on a good road. The CBS experience is so much improved over the past few years. Bars, Dhillons, train service, places on the Longford Road in Sky Blue Decour. Some genuine pride in it being ours, going in the right direction so no need for massive changes

Something covering the vast amount of white space outside the arena, in the middle of the stands outside, with our own take. Like what the scum down the road have

Mocked these up ages ago - never actually thought we'd be in a position to make the stadium our own!

I agree, every inch of the ground is real estate we can make money off. I’d happily sit in the McDonalds stand

Ongoing:

Non-stop footage from the ring road. Number plate, name and address of anyone seen driving on the left and not getting off at the first possible exit available after matches on request.

Pre match:

Straight from the Craven Club! - The Roly Poly’s Sky Blue
Striptease: No access to the toilets during this time under any circumstances

Talk to a racist: nod sagely as you finally understand why all Coventry’s social problems are caused by Albanians and Eritreans.

Humiliate SISU: high profile members of the previous regime are forced to walk the concourses smeared in shit and singing the Doug King Song at the top of the voice

Half time:

We Live and Die in These Towns: Phone vote to decide whether selected members of the away support live or die. Full minute of applause following executions to take us into the second period. Voting costs £65.

Full Time:

Fighting

Bottom one for me. As it currently doesn't say it anywhere inside the stadium atm. And obviously the throwback font is a nod to the past.
