I said I couldn't pay money to a company when I didn't know who I was paying it to. He said that he understood and maybe they'd call back in a few weeks when the situation was clearer.
In fairness to the lad I got the impression he was just trying to sell tickets and doesn't know much about the business.
Did you know which company you were paying in previous years then?
I just had a phone call from 'CCFC' asking if I'd like to renew my season ticket and discuss other packages. Very politely said 'No'.
Caller said the JR result may be known today. I'm sure he's confused with the CVA.
Anyone else had a call?
Yeah I had two missed calls from a blocked number on Saturday evening and answered the 3rd. Caught me on the hop so asked him to call back today...now prepared to unleash a barrage of abuse. I've been accusing my mates all weekend but now I believe it's genuine. Although, I still have my suspicions. Where could they be based? Why are they calling off a 'blocked' number? Why would I actually renew? Is it Til Fisher in disguise?
Interestingly the guy who called said that they were calling from 'Coventry City Limited'....

In other words you were called by a non trading property subsidiary that has no assets, isn't a football club and is in administration and they asked you for money to watch a football club playing 35 miles away?
all very interesting im sure, but are we going to have a thread about every individual supporter
A lot of businesses call from behind blocked numbers. I know my company does when we call out to customers.
If it's the office / shop staff that are making the calls then I'd guess that they're based out at Ryton as it either there or working off of the barrow in Tescos for those staff at the moment.
I was in Tesco this morning, 3 women working on the stand, sitting down having a chat, I did not see any customers.
Yep, we have a family friend who works in the "shop". They hire a van every morning and evening to ferry the stock between Ryton and Tescos... absolute dire set up.

No way they cover their costs then, 3 staff x 8 hours and van and stand hire. You'd have to sell a lot of shirts to cover that & I think they only had last years stock, I saw Citylink logo & they no longer sponsor the club.
I'd guess they turnover less than £1000/week & pay something like £300-400 per day for the set up.
If the club was staying in Coventry I'm sure they'd make a decent profit as the goodwill would be there.
Yes we were told that City had signed a deal for a new shop in Coventry and it would open within weeks? that was at one of the forums but as usual they probably have to pick from 3 with 2 being the preferred ones but with 5 back ups just in case, and maybe they have signed a 5 year deal at Tesco, and there is a heavy penalty if they break the contract :thinking about:

Google 'Gallagher Retail Park' - go to page 4 - pdf available of three new 'kiosks' planned - should be ready in 3-5 years.
