Open top bus parade (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

I see the CT are talking about it as an option.

That has to be a firm no surely?

I would be totally against it. Yep, it's a cup, but I really don't think it warrants it.

A meet the players event might be a good idea though. Have your photo taken with the cup for the kids, that sort of thing.

I think I would be embarrassed by an open top bus parade. Needs to be more low key.

No

Winning this should not been seen as an achievement in the nicest sense!

It should be used as a yardstick of where we do not want to be!

We should have the ambition to not be in this competition. (We should be above it as such before anyone says we won't be when we are in the conference!) : )

 

[Otis]

Yep.

Win the league as champions, or win a major trophy and then have the parade.

 

[Astute]

Open top bandwagon for me.

 

[matesx]

Cringeworthy

 

[pusbccfc]

Would be happy to have another march through the city against SISU.

 

[stupot07]

Its a no for me. Enjoy the day but parading for that tinpot cup and with all likelihood being relegated would just be embarrassing.

And it looks as though wasps will win their league, I'm sure they'd do one and do it better just to piss on our chips.

Didn't know that Wasps were doing any good.

Right. Open top bus parade for us winning the tinpot. Get everyone to turn up for it. Hope Wasps do the same. Can't see that many turning up for theirs. That would show everyone that we are still a football city and don't think much of the gypsies that chuck an odd shape ball around.

 

[Nick]

Nah, a bit over the top.

I think that's the reason we should do it, although I get your point Stu.
I reckon they'll slip up.

 

[SkyBlueRuffian]

That would be embarrassing

 

[Philosoraptor]

Its not a major sporting event. If the competition was open to everyone to compete then yes. This is why the pyramid league system and FA Cup works and should be celebrated.

 

[vow]

Oh dear, God loves a tryer...

 

[Astute]

Gotta be a bus......tinpot trophy for a tinpot club..................................paraded round the tinpot streets for all the tinpot tramps to cheer at.

Why would you want to cheer us if we won it?

 

[Philosoraptor]

A reception would be good but a parade is something else.

 

[rupert_bear]

If I was manager I wouldn't even allow it to be paraded around the pitch, this is just one match in a season likely to end in heartbreak

[skybluetony176]

Sod it. The bus has been locked up in the museum for too long. Blow of the cobwebs, bleed the brakes and get it out. Just don't give Tim a ticket.

When we are in the midland combination division you'll all dream of the days we played in the final of the Checkatrade trophey, and resent turning your noses up at an open top bus tour whilst the rugby team that conspired to pinch the Ricoh had their own!

I'm sure they would find a spot in High Wycombe.

If we are going to have an open top bus.

Can we also have a new version of Shooting to win ? Sung by the players

But we don't shoot and we don't usually win.

 

[rob9872]

I think we should get rid of Lady Godiva and replace with a statue of Slade too.

 

[shmmeee]

Knowing Sisu, we'd end up in this:

Haha can you imagine.

Replacing 'Killer lurks about, Oggy keeps em out'

With 'Kyel fucks about, Turnbull clears nowt'

 

[hutch1972]

No from me , especially if ccc get involved , that I'm afraid would tip me over the edge.

 

[oscillatewildly]

I say YES. C'mon, think about it - It'll be the only opportunity we'll ever get to do a 'Sergio Ramos' with Fisher.

 

[Astute]

I also say yes. And as chairman Fisher should also be on the top deck.

I'll race ya to push the fooker off head first.

 

[Otis]

If you put Fisher on the top deck Coventry has many sniper vantage opportunities along the route.

I wouldn't ever advocate such a thing, but if you go to the top of the tower in the old cathedral you have an 8 second window, at a 7° angle, 151.67m away from the target, as the bus would turn right into Earl Street.

Apparently.

It's a Micky Mouse cup not the FA Cup
So it's a no from me

 

[Johnnythespider]

No thanks, acceptable occasions for a parade, F.A cup win, promotion to premier league, win premier league

 

[covcity4life]

no

as much as i want to win it a parade would make our city look pathetic

 

[oscillatewildly]

FFS! What's wrong with you lot? It's not about celebration/commiseration, it's about doing Fisher!
Oooops.

 

[chiefdave]

An open top bus parade like 87 is over the top but it would be nice to get everyone together to celebrate. Given that its not the last match of the season something on a match day? Its legends day on April 8th that could work. Maybe see if we can get the bus up there and let people get a picture with the trophy.

Guess for the players it would have to be pre-match. You'd need to make sure whatever it was didn't impact the game but you can't really schedule something like a lap of honour for the end of the game as we'll probably be losing and everyone will have gone home!
