Just for curiosity it would be interesting to know the reasoning for removing all the advertising from the boards closest to and facing the east stand

Not sure kick it for a ticket is that big a deal we sign exclusivity deals for it

Just a suggestion but might be better to phrase it 'can the club cross post for reach' rather than is kick it for a ticket secretly a white nationalist competition.

Can the segregation in block 9 be made smaller so more home fans can get in? At the Sheff Utd game I noticed a new barrier has been put in about 10 seats in, then there are 15-20 empty seats and then the netting. Can the barrier be moved next to the netting?

Yes

Imagine that embarrassing c**t @shmmeee crying at Doug king about ‘X’ when we’re top of the league and flying, the saddo would get laughed out the room

From now on according to him every club that uses X is racist

Summary of questions

They won’t all get asked and questions are sometimes grouped up

Hope that’s ok

Anything like the stadium egress, DDA compliance in hospitality, programmes please just dm me and I’ll raise with the club immediately and get an answer out

We have already seen many enhancements and upgrades since the purchase of the stadium. Are the following items things under consideration?

WiFi in the stadium

PA/Speakers

Memorial garden / opportunities for more bricks to be added?

Getting away from the ground after is still too inordinately long - is the road closure approach still the best one for all concerned?

Balcony seats, tv stand, press box, segregation (strongly encouraged by block 9 changes)

North stand scoreboard?

Ticket office upgrade?

Any plans to change the name of the anecdote to something more Coventry City Related?


Are you able to add any clarity on the stadium purchase and any details of increased revenue since taking over?


Are there any plans to reconsider the costs of non adult tickets for the higher category games? What’s the breakdown of non season ticket sales? Adult, juniors etc

What have been the issues with some of the kits not being available for Christmas purchases?

Is there an update on an improved train service being available for games?

Can it be possible to pay for either way on the match day shuttle bus?

Will the club consider a joint season / car parking ticket for 26-27 season? Any plans for digital cards?

Has a decision been made to not publicise the younger age group teams? If so why?

Is there any scope to extend the parking time (I understand it’s 30mins) when shopping at the superstore or could the club publicise the terminal for putting your reg no in.

Would you consider making hospitality more attractive to season ticket holders?

thanks again

Are there any plans for covered outdoor areas during cold, rainy, or snowy weather—especially when fan zones aren’t available?

This past weekend, the number of people completely soaked after waiting in long queues before entering was crazy.
It really highlighted the need for improved covered options.

Alternatively, will the stadium turnstiles open earlier more often?

Can you ask if he's aware of the poor quality of shirts this season, and the number of shirts fans have returned. Also about the issue with sizing; the difference between medium and large is unreal, and there needs to be an "in between". What's the plan with Hummel going forward?

just a small point
i hadn't noticed before last weekend that there is no clock anywhere in the stadium
surely they could put the time on the large screen or have one installed
i know we all have phones but when its cold and can't get to your phone or watch easily it would surely help

just a thought

OK?

Ive asked if there is a commercial agreement for exclusivity and if not can they cross post and I’ve asked whether exclusively posting on a white nationalist site is right for a family club. Don’t worry no one is going to take away the racism site from you.

Also Twitter is one of the smallest social media networks around if numbers are their concern, cross posting would be a huge advantage;

View attachment 47349

You can really tell who is addicted to their daily dose of racism though. Jesus. Suggest a bit of variety and people lose their shit.
Click to expand...

Nothing wrong with cross posting, or x-posting(get it!?). To suggest the club should leave twitter because we don't like the person who runs it or some of the people who congregate there is a massive slippery slope.

Did we all forget Facebook (#1 on your MAU ranking) and who runs that and what influence they've had in America's radical swing to the right?

It's better not to pursue this, the club should go where the audience is - cross posting is a fine and reasonable suggestion. The club is already putting a lot of content on YouTube and Instagram, at least from what I have seen. I'm not sure every channel should be used for every message though.

That's an easy one to fix, on the scoreboard, in one corner you can have the actual time and in the other corner the time from kickoff.

The club should ask itself if esclusively posting on a white nationalist website whose aim is to promote racism and conspiracy theories is the right look for a club. Should we be promoting it to kids during games? It’s far more harmful than gambling adverts which we apparently took a stand against. and were a club with a proud anti racist history. I actually think it’s pretty fucking sick to promote it then whack The Specials on an advertise the two tone kit tbh.

@Sky Blue Pete clearly doesn’t agree and won’t ask any questions for me it seems so I’ll write to the club and see what they say about this and the Balcony Bar disability stuff. Glad we’re asking about the shirts being thin and not the club meeting basic legal obligations though

How did that become not willing to ask my friend
That required a one to one approach not a general we’ll try harder
If you can’t be arsed yourself dm me the day and game and some specifics so I can speak directly outside of the forum

On the x question we do have a website Instagram x so we cross post and I think asking about kick for a ticket isn’t as important as other stuff

are you ok this is unlike you to react like this to me

What’s the best email for me to email? Just info@ccfc.co.uk?

I’m not sure the fact they’re putting all disabled fans around a corner where they can’t see the guests is a personal issue but fine.

And they don’t post team news on the offal. They post their X post, which if you don’t access X you can’t see.

Last game: https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2025/november/22/team-news--coventry-city-v-west-bromwich-albion-/

Clearly you’ve got an issue with me asking about this so just let me know the best contact and I’ll take both issues up myself.

When I went to the Balcony Bar last time with my dad in his scooter, as we do w few times each season, normally we just roc up to a table and crack on. This season we were told we had to sit in the Disabled section which is around a corner near the food and out of eyesight of the stage where the MotM/guests/band play. TBH felt like half the experience and no reason for it. He’d have been happy to stash his scooter if he couldn’t park by a table and walk to a seat.

But for those without the option to leave their mobility device it would be nice if they weren’t treated like the ugly sister.

I do not want to access X. It’s blocked by default on my network. I’ve no idea when that’s updated but it’s obviously after the X post if it contains it. I’ll check tonight what time the website updates. I don’t have insta cos I’m not a 14 year old girl.

I think disabled fan there need thinking about. Our options for decent seat are limited when you can’t do more than a couple of steps, hence us usually sitting in Block 35 far too low down IMO. The Balcony Bar allows us the rare treat of a decent view and no steps, so I’d imagine attracts more mobility impaired fans than average.

I’ve no issues at all with you asking, I’m not on x at all myself so just get team news from sky blues talk or the website

I thought you had been affected personally rather than just saw people there when you were there - sorry if that was the wrong assumption. If it was please clarify and I’ll raise it with the equality lead

It’s eamon the guy chief Dave says don’t know why I misremembered

Why are people so angry? Are you sure you’re ok or am I being sensitive?

If you download the club app on your phone you can get a push notification with the team news. They also put it on facebook and insta so there's definitely options there if you are looking to give X a swerve.

For your issue in hospitality there's a disability access officer who is Eamon Collins, Eamon.Collins@ccfc.co.uk
