New supporters club near town? (1 Viewer)

lordy_87 · Jun 4, 2021

Remember the other week CCFC tweeted a random picture of the sky blue tavern and people were speculating they may be hinting something? Well a few pictures have cropped up on social media of a unit by Rileys near the Butts with a large banner saying 'coming soon' flanked by two Dhillons logos and sky blues crests. Looks like the club are doing something in conjunction with the brewery - Interesting!

Ah sorry,the Snooker hall.
So somewhere close to the old Burns club ,Mercia sound

Had a brain fart there, thinking Riley's was the old electrical supplier.

Edit :- Might have been Wileys lol.

This could be class, interested to see what they've got planned.

Surely they'll be running coaches to the Ricoh from there

An collaboration between CCFC and Dhillon’s, a modern sports bar serving great beer, authentic Indian cuisine and pub classics in Coventry

Yeah you'd think. It's nice that the club will have a presence in the centre IMO. Would be handy if they ran coaches back to town as well for a few post match pints.

Marty · Jun 4, 2021

Actually can't wait for this, could be a massive money spinner if they get it right.

Skyblueweeman · Jun 4, 2021

A few clubs starting to do stuff with Micro Breweries/Breweries etc.

Nice to see the club doing something similar if thats what they're doing.

Great idea this is. Basically a big sports bar.

ccfcmad1 · Jun 4, 2021

Great stuff, doing well this lot

“.... looks ace” love it....not heard that since the 80s

mark82 · Jun 4, 2021

Love this. Can't wait to give it a try.

matesx · Jun 4, 2021

If they run a bus to n fro the Ricoh....I’m in

me too!

matesx · Jun 4, 2021

Dhillon.....if you are reading this perhaps get together with CCFC to fund a bus with the Sky BlueTavern plastered all over it with plenty of CCFC crests too.

Could double as a great marketing visual through the City....

I’m sure a lot of fans will be prepared to pay £5 return to cover running costs.

Jay Cee · Jun 4, 2021

isn't this just down the road from the train station if only the stadium had a station wouldn't really need a bus, oh hang on ...

pusbccfc · Jun 4, 2021

Agreed about the bus. It's a great location for the station but without the regular service it wouldn't work.

A regular bus between 1 and 2:30 and then the same following the game would be brilliant. The guys at Dhillion's are clearly clever with their workings. I'm sure they'll do a deal where you can spend £15 in there on a matchday and get on the bus for free. Or, as others have said £5 return would be fine.

Wasn't that resolved?

No it’s a decent walk and time consuming when a door to door bus would be a far more convenient service.

Well it may be for some especially older ones but can't see why not really.

But I’m a lazy bastard who likes to squeeze out a last pint till about 2.30pm so fuck leaving the pub to walk to get a train

The station at the ground will be closer than where the coaches drop off though!

robbiethemole · Jun 4, 2021

hopefully more fans will use this than the shitehole sports bar run by Wasps

It's 10 mins and the train will get across town much quicker so we will all have a choice.

Not even 10 minutes is it? from the tavern, you can walk the edge of the ring road to the station. 5 minutes max I reckon.

mmttww · Jun 4, 2021

Saw this today, f*cking great idea! I can see a few folks getting squashed trying to cross the roundabout, mind.

cooperskyblue · Jun 4, 2021

Love it! The Club again continuing to put time and effort into reconnecting the city, fans and the team, great to see.

fernandopartridge · Jun 4, 2021

A bus would be a good idea, granted it is convenient for the stadium. 365 revenues eh?

They’ve absolutely got to haven’t they. Buses every 20 minutes or something from 1pm to 2:40 would be ideal. Surely people would flock to it? Just pub crawl in town then end there?
