New club shop (4 Viewers)

[Covstu]

I was at Gallagher earlier and had a quick look, quite a large shop next to maplins. Is anyone going up later???

Is this a positive sign that the club have opened a club shop or not?? If they were going to buy the ground would they have waited until they did this and reopened the one in the ground?? Having looked at the signage, it could be easily moved etc so maybe it is another temporary solution until after Christmas??

[thaiskyblue]

pay as you play contract.

 

[Mr T - Sukka!]

Total boycot from me until they are back playing in Coventry.

 

[smileycov]

All these little signs indicate life is getting better.......Talks/contracts/buying if needed in january/shop. Maybe, just maybe they realise the only way they will earn there money back, is to back the club and give us a shot at some success. Home to Coventry next surely?

Can't answer that unless you know the terms of the lease, could be they've signed something short term or with an easy out. Guess one giveaway could be how much it looks like they've spent on a refurb. If it's been done on the cheap it's more likley to be short term, if it looks like they're splashed the cash a bit it could be a sign they aren't planning to be leaving there any time soon.

See there are a few players going to be up there. Someone ask Cyrus if he is going to sign a new deal too!

A good 200 people queuing earlier. Couldn't be arsed to wait myself, but looks busy on photos:

 

[skyblueref]

Tim Fisher is present, he's got a lot of bottle but fair play to him !

 

[ajsccfc]

This is the most people in Coventry City premises in months.

 

[shmmeee]

Anyone know what it looked like before the refurb? I can't tell if it's stylish and modern or cheap and quick to put up.

 

[theferret]

It looked nothing like that. All the fittings are new. Not exactly lavish, but it doesn't look temporary.

 

[skyblueref]

Not sure what it was like before but it looks pretty new, modern and stylish, not cheap !

I've just gone up but wasn't gonna queue so left after about 10 minutes of wandering. Probably seen you but never actually knew!

Was very busy, but not as busy as when it first opened apparently. Decent turn out!

And I also thought Fisher being there was surprising. That said, he's shown many a time he's not afraid of much and doesn't shy away from public appearances.

Think I saw Joy there too!

Fisher bring there isn't a surprise. He's at every 'home' game, willing to talk to anyone.

wouldn't take him long to have a chat with every one would it .

 

[Houdi]

Went to get some MK tickets and to be fair the turnout was pretty impressive. It took about 20 minutes to get served and it seemed that everybody was buying MK tickets, well in the ticket queue anyway.:claping hands: There was a huge queue for merchandise and the fans particularly the young ones seemed genuinely excited to see our homebred players. The undoubted favourite though was Pressley, who was happy to chat, pose for photos with everyone.
Even the 'Great Satan' was spotted signing a few autographs, maybe Ann Lucas was able to slip in an a new 'Ricoh agreement' for him to sign.

 

[sky blue john]

Sounds like more crowd and atmosphere than sixfields !!

More chance of unhappy fans who hold Fisher responsible going to Gallagher than Sixfields though

 

[ccfcway]

were they selling bricks or padded seats ?

 

[edgy]

True but haven't heard anything like that happening. There seems to be a disparaging myth that Fisher had disappeared from public. He hasnt.

panto season is coming up , old timmy 's the perfect panto villain.

You think Fisher would show up somewhere selling bricks?

He's employed to have broad shoulders, and he does that job very well.
