When the new dawn breaks will those of us who renewed season tickets earlier get special gold plated treatment?

It's happening. My mate is one of the caterers and he's just told me spring rolls are on the menu next season. Don't fancy eating a wimpy with the obligatory chopsticks though.

where the hell is this going. I haven't the 1st damn clue what this thread is about. Tesco's can't be buying the club that would be right out from left field. Unless they're going to be the new kit sponsers?

A chinese muslim is buying the club and rebranding it as Coventry Tescos as a strategic move to challenge their dominance on the high street and the delicatessen spring rolls - its simple roll on sunday

Someone who previously believed the takeover was BS has spoken to someone who works at the club who has convinced him it will happen. No sources revealed so I'm still yet to be convinced. After so many false dawns I will need some concrete proof.

I hope the take over goes through. I don't care if it's Chinese investors, or little green men from mars as long as they go into it with the right reasons, to run a football club and invest in that club to make it successful and not as we've seen with SISU just to make a quick profit and asset strip when it all goes tits up.

However, if rebrand as anything but Coventry City Football Club aka The Sky Blues, then I'm through an I'll start a phoenix club myself if I have to.

They wouldn't come in and do that. I know it's topical with Cardiff but how often have you heard of this before.

I would be more p!ssed off than most if anyone or anything changed our clubs name. My youngest lad has the initials CCFC. Don't think the wife would be happy if I changed his name now.

actually, as there is no news of chinee with bagsamunny
Tesco is the company
there is only one Tesco, so no Tescos
Tesco's is not a plural but a possessive and refers to Tesco's store or stores depending on the context. The word store or shop is not said but understood, so to refer to Tesco's means a or some Tesco's stores/shops.
It's always useful to have a pedant around when a football cub is in the shit because they will argue that perhaps its not the shit but just a bit of crap and it will all go away as the chinee come over the hill on a white horse with hoffman and a bounce back to the championship...a doctor is trying to give me a shot, where are my human rights..

:thinking about:Hmmmmmm........ I'll get back to you on that (while I think of the answer as to whether I was correcting someone who was correcting someone who was correcting another poster (who also may have been correcting at the time of the said incident))

Oh dear, what has been started here :thinking about:

So I am coming to your house. There is only one of you. Would I say "I am going to Sky Blue Kid house?" No. It would be "I am going to Sky Blue Kid's house"

It all depends on how you word your sentence to how it is worded.....are you still following I left school nearly 30 years ago. I can't remember all the fancy names in English, but those were the days where you failed for incorrect spellings and punctuation. I got an O level B grade so wasn't too bad at the subject Not bad considering I hardly went to school and stayed all day until my last 18 months

It would be Tesco's in the way used earlier. Dependant on the way the sentence is used though it could be Tesco at times.

Ordinary (or common) nouns that end in s, both singular and plural, show possession simply by adding an ' after the s but proper nouns (names of people, cities, countries etc.) can form the possessive either by adding the 's or simply adding the ':
  • a. The Hughes' home (or the Hughes's home), Mr Jones's shop (or Mr Jones' shop), Charles' book (or Charles's book)
  • b. the ladies' tennis club, the teachers' journal, the priests' church (note that the priest's church would only be refering to one priest while the priests' church refers to a group.)
Hope this clears it up

But the noun does not end in S. The noun is Tesco.

I corrected someone at the start of the thread, but the rest went ahead and repeated the error anyway

Last year they said they had "Half of the money (£10m) to buy the half share in the Ricoh (20m)"
Yet they "Can't afford to pay their bills that are outstanding atm"...Lying bunch of prats!...Not you kduffy...SISU.
