I think its a good idea But got a feeling from the brief research I have done that a full page advert costs £3000 plus . The Coventry Observer sets their full page rate at £3932

Not quite on topic, but just had a phone call from friend who has just been to the new 'ticket office' on 101? Lockhurst Lane. Its apparently located on the 3rd floor and amounts to a lady at a single desk. Having paid for some Shrewsbury tickets he decided to go and collect. Big mistake, big mistake. The tickets weren't there and there are none left. The ticket system has gone down, the ticket officer/manager is apparently away for 3 weeks, so she wasn't able to do anything to solve his problem. To make matters even worse they have already booked and paid for their train tickets, and yet the lady seemingly couldn't say if they would get their tickets despite already buying them online. Further evidence that SISU aren't necessarily the super slick organisation that some people think they are.
Don't see why not, having run SISU's ad they have set a precedent. Running a keep cov in cov advert or similar would just be in the interests of balance wouldnt it?
I think we could easily get the money together for a full centre spread on this...

Sisu are paying the players wages, with little income they trying to keep the team together.
The Academy players are a product of Sisu investment over the 6 years
it shouldnt be that expensive to be honest, your talking hundreds not thousands.
....maybe more if you want colour...
£13.60 per single centimeter column x 306 cm (per page) = £4161 x 2 £8323 for a DPS (Double Page Spread) not including colour, for 1 insertion into the CT, well its probably gone up now im going back about 5 years...
They've spent it all on ribbons!
No, seriously, an ad will cost considerably more than you would imagine. Wouldn't surprise me if the Telegraph quote a silly price just to put the trust off?
Interesting...wonder if the EDF or BNP or an ad for 18 year old girls to star in hardcore porn would be equally received?
A ripoff considering how small the readership must be now.
The BNP and EDF can advertise, however If it was deemed to be illegal or immoral it would fall outside of the advertising standards and not be allowed...not sure a football club trying to sell tickets is the same
Torch, lets say the advert says something that could be challenged in a court of law, we could find some heavy paperwork dropping through our letter box for sure.
How would that help anyone? The trust and fans need to be working towards doing everything to get Coventry back in Coventry.
Don't know where you get the idea that we lay on free coach trips to London. We had some donations from some very kind fans specifically for that purpose but that was all. Everyone that went paid.
That's the trouble with making things up and posting them as fact. Someone might just believe you.
As a trust we have to ensure we have a £1 for every member. Our "fighting fund" was very much depleted from the march. A number of the trust board paid for stuff out their own pocket. It cost me £180 but worth every penny to see all the fans on Gosford Green
Yes be have bought ribbons because we believe its the right thing to do and have the support of our members. The board member that picked them up made a round trip of between 350 - 400 miles and didn't get a penny towards his petrol.
It's easy to sit behind a keyboard and have a pop ain't it.
Best place for an ad would be int times business section / financial times and the telegraph where ppl sisu deal with would be looking
It doesn't have be controversial. Just "keep cov in cov" would do and a plea to join the Trust.
The march was dantadtic s highlight amongst the other stuff of which some has been far less successful.
You could even put an ad in the Northampton paper.
Did you get 'heavy paperwork' for calling Appleton a poodle?

I'd say the best part of a grand. Stage hire, horse and horse box hire, expenses for the girls. My credibility, going into Ann summers asking for skin coloured body stockings and being told no but being too polite not to walk out when being shown the full range of basques on offer. Wigs and body stocking were £60.
Don't you think it might be to your advantage to break down the expenses and stick them up on your website?
Not in a 'look at us, we're desperate for cash' way, but just for information, (doesn't even need a statement)... if nothing else just to show what money was spent on, so people can decide whether they want to give more/ feed back where they think some cash could have been saved etc?

Think thats streching it a bit, you don't personal credability after the rubber club episode.
Shh, you promised not to tell. Have you got rid of the pictures?
Our next open meeting will be just that. An opportunity to get a bit of a time line of what we have done. Answer any questions and get suggestions on how we move forward. You should come along and ask questions, you might be surprised with the answers.Good idea. The Trust should be as transparent as they want SISU to be.
I'd also like to ask Mr Trot if the Trust are also putting pressure on ACL and CCC? If yes, what are you doing? If not, why not?
If you want to get that detail, join the trust and get on the board.
Or are you just a pedant?
