Trophy parade (8 Viewers)

[Garryb80]

Coventry City wished luck by council ahead of Wembley trip

Oh dear. I notice the council are on board if there's a chance of success but reluctant to associate themselves at other times...

They can piss off the ultimate bandwagoners

why a parade? it maybe a trophy but not a mark of success.

I will be there Sunday praying for the win, but won't want to celebrate it after with a parade.

It's just yo get thousands of people into their dying city centre.

 

[westofrayne]

is this all leading up to an open top parade for Wasps at the end of the season? Maybe changing street names?

maybe I'm reading too much into this but we know they are not interested in the football club, but by offering this small token, they can go all out for Wasps at the end of the season?

Wouldn't surprise me...the streets would be pretty dead though.

Nah their followers love a freebie, the council will send people round to get people out of their homes to support our great success story the London Wasps.

An open top parade for this trophy would confirm our tin pot status.

However with everyone so keen on mediation and cooperation, shouldn't this statement from the council be welcomed?

It's all about building bridges.
If we want a parade then they will accommodate.
Personally up to now I'm not bothered but I would settle for a lap of honour at the Ricoh in recognition of the event. Although there would be more for the same at Wembley.
We can all argue the positives (building the stadium) and negatives (selling to Wasps) of the council actions but at the end of the day prolonging it helps no one.

How do you know the council is not interested in CCFC? Maybe it's like with John Sharpe - they won't do business with SISU and, in this case, a current CCFC director because they are named on JR2 and of past experiences.

Last time we won something, we had a parade and a banquet for the team in the Leofric Hotel - sponsored by the rate payers.

The councilors live in Coventry and I cannot believe that the majority have no interest in CCFC.

Their elected responsibility is to the council tax payers first and as long as the JR2 hangs in the air they will not be doing anything which could be detrimental to the financial interests of tax payers.

Doesn't mean that the council is not interested in CCFC. Drop the JR and put a stadium and business plan on the table. Then we will know how interested CCC are.

The burden of all this will age you. Get over it for your own sake.

Perhaps in view of the council cuts they could put one bus on for Wasps (APL winners) and CCFC (Checkatrade winners).

No idea what an apl is I don't follow minority sport?

Just googled it is it the the Atlantic premier league?

 

[Adge]

A victory parade-reward for a season of failure! Jeez-what next!

 

[bawtryneal]

It's all premature
We have to win on Sunday first
Let's hope so but "don't count your chickens"

 

[sylus]

Can we be humiliated even more than we have already, yeah i think we can!! ..i'd piss myself if this happens.only in Cov

 

[Nick]

Does gilbert really have to make "benjamin buck" so obvious?

It's just trying to stir shit up, open top parade for check a trade???

As long as it's on our bus in the transport museum:shamefullyembarrased:

 

[Nick]

Maybe the council could put ccfc flags up on the ricoh roundabout for all the fans on Wembley day?

I'm using what they call a smart phone. It allows me to leave home, get notifications and post from anywhere.

Would be a nice touch.

I think they built the museum around it as it was not expected we would need it again

Statistically we always win at Wembley

Have a lovely day in the sun Italia hope your Wasps lose to whoever they are playing today:emoji_fingers_crossed:

Except in charity shield games.

 

[SkyblueSpecial]

Not sure I understand all the hatred towards Wasps.

What have they done to damage ccfc? Genuine question.

If your Wasps win anything the council can save a few quid on the bus by borrowing one from the other places they have played before

.

If we win, they should give them a banquet in the current Hotel that used to be the Leofric.
And then make them stay the night as well.
Just what they deserve.

Strangely Wasps fans wish CCFC all the best.

For some people it is a bit like what Sunderland think of us. Others just get on with the here and now. Whether that is Cov or Northampton.

No.
Agree with your first statement though.

Looks empty

It's got as many people waving at it in that picture today as it would with their players in it
