Is an open top bus really needed for going up from League Two? Am I just being a misery in thinking it’s a bit OTT?

Get the Rugby boys on there

 

[Roger Mellie]

Agree with that. Would be fabulous to share this with the CRFC boys - the two true clubs who represent this city’s sporting heritage. And not a franchise insect in sight. Doubt that Cov City Council would be happy with that mind you..........

Whatever the league or perceived level, let’s celebrate a great effort by both of our true sporting teams.

I hope they don’t skimp on the pennies and try to use the 87 bus, unless the ‘tour’ is from its current position in the museum to outside the museum and back again

Only problem I can see is that the rugger buggers have all probably buggered off on their holidays.

That and if the rugger buggers were here they'd take up all the room and the poncey kissballers would have to sit downstairs.

If it helps to turn another 500 kids Sky Blue then I'm all for it.

Exactly my thinking.

 

[Sick Boy]

It's a great idea, it's about time we had something to be happy about. I bet italia and his franchise mates will be gutted.

 

[chiefdave]

Presumably in the evening or most people will be at work.

I think Social services might be keeping an eye out for things like that Best not pass Broadgate House on the way

Yes-or possibly wait for the weekend?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

At this rate, the players aren't going to get much of a Summer break , to recover from their exertions. By the time they've arranged this, it'll only be about a fortnight until pre-season training starts!

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Council bandwagoners not interested until something happens

 

[coop]

Its Wednesday starting at 5 pm in rush hour traffic.

NEWS: Open top bus parade and Civic Reception on Wednesday for the Sky Blues promotion winning side!

Leaving Ryton at 5, Council house for 6.30.

Doubt The weekend would be possible as It's motofest weekend.

As many of them as possible. IMHO its fully deserved for both.

Going past my old house in Binley. Hopefully someone takes some pics along the way.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Yes boys its happening

Where is the hype?

Would work better. Roads already closed.

 

[speedie87]

how Many people do you reckon will be coming out for this?

 

[wingy]

Walsgrave rd for me I think

 

[no_loyalty]

Down to Ansty Road for me, just like 1987

Hopefully get a decent crowd

Forgive the grouchiness, but doesn't the timing of this parade for finishing sixth in the bottom division mean all that'll happen is people'll be held up on their way home from work?

You're right. They should set off at 5 to instead. Beat the rush.

 

[Covstu]

Ball hill for me I reckon

Its not like we even won the league 2 title and were going to be treated to an open top bus civic reception.
Sorry but does'nt this sound just a little over the top!!!
Im as pleased as anyone else that we won the play off final but this is pathetic.

Sorry, but doesn't 'pathetic' sound just a little bit over the top?

We got promoted, didn't we?

That should be celebrated. If they want to parade the trophy around, bring people out of their houses and bring smiles and a feelgood factor to fans and families' faces, I can't see how that's in anyway a bad thing.

If I can be there I'll be there.

I don't think so.

Let's face it. What else have we had to celebrate as a club lately? We may have won a trophy last year but this is a lot bigger. It should be celebrated. We don't get many chances.

Yes but we got a cup for finishing 6th.
Did 3rd place get anything other then promotion?
Probably a smaller cup then ours not worth parading.

 

[wingy]

5-15 pm outside the Coventry Oak it is, possibly trailing it down to Poets Corner If the Legs can keep up !

 

[Johnnythespider]

Off down to Essex for a couple of days in the morning, I would be there if I could, we should celebrate this, there is nothing to be ashamed of in getting promotion, we haven't been a top flight club for a long time now and celebrating this promotion is a realisation of that fact.
It just might be the dawning of a new era to rival the Jimmy Hill years, long overdue in my mind.

Was hardly any traffic when I drove home tonight, its half term. Get all the kids out and give them some memories.

Start rumours of half price beer at 'Spoons in the City centre and it'll ensure a bigger turnout - in fact, I've just been told that rumour is true - half price beer from 5pm onwards
