Just seen Peterborough tier 5? Very odd

Just a prank - probably started by Trimble and Tolmie I'd imagine. It would have been interesting to see how they would have paid Cov for the remaining two years of his contract.

Hopefully in cash not red!

Looks like Cov Rugby have sold over 700 + season tickets already !

Heard the early bird period topped the total sales of last season.

Really sad news, 103 years old, he’d be at the BPA most weeks.

RIP Harry

I get what you're saying (so don't think I'm not saying it's sad!) but, if I could reach 103, still be able to go to games regularly, and be loved and have achieved like he has...

I'd call that a life worth celebrating.

Yeah, I would say that was a wonderful life.

Time for celebration of his life, rather than mourn his passing.

99.9% of us would give our right arm to get to 100 and still be getting about.

Hats off to the bloke.

England u20’s in the World Cup final v France in France at 6pm ITV4.

Fraser Dingwall who played for Cov earlier this season starts for England.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

France deserved winners!

Now when are they going to release the Championship fixtures!!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Cov’s squad – is 3 the magic number?

Tim latest blog with an update on the current who’s who in the squad after the early season ins and outs!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Finally!!!

Jersey Reds first up for Coventry Rugby as 2018/19 fixtures are announced – Coventry Rugby

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

I’ve just compared CCFC & CRFC Home fixtures only 5 Saturdays where they don’t clash which is a shame, the first game being a cup game where Cov Rugby are at home to Yorkshire Carnegie in the Cup 17th November.

1st league came where CRFC are at home and CCFC are away is 19th January!

Other dates
9th February
2nd March
13th April

Cov Rugby games may be moved for tv etc.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Tom Kessell has left Northampton, fingers crossed he’s coming to Cov....

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Arggghh it might be happening.....

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Oh yessssss!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Hmmm....players? Sponsors?

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Well yesterday’s tweet was a hidden message thatvte players were sent out in teams around the city to find various landmarks,etc.

But today there is an Aussie player being announced at 5pm.....

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Hopefully won’t be a dozen players missing!!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Another one in the door!

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Another positive step!

Rumours of James Voss on loan from Tigers. Has played loosehead, lock and back row, so versatile if nothing else.

Saw the club have added him to the squad list so odd if not.

Any other rumours Kneeza?

Must be one more big name back in the locker?

 

[scottccfc]

i'm looking forward to the Jersey away game last day of the season sunshine watching the mighty cov

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

I see the club have confirmed all home games will be Saturday 3pm ko (tv depending)

Championship seems to have a right mix of times and days I think!?

Not sure about backs, but fairly sure there's a good prop on the way.

Sad news that ex Cov prop Carl Rimmer has had to retire at 32 after having a stroke (nicked an artery during a game didn’t realise and had a stroke 2days later) remember him playing for Cov early BPA days bleached blonde hair.

Had a good career with Exeter in the Prem.

Used to see Carl most mornings running along Binley Road. Then a friend of mine married his dad, Graham, who was chairman of Earlsdon RFC at the time. They live in Shropshire now. Carl's a smashing lad, but don't see much of him these days as he's totally settled in Ex. Loves the place.
