i know that's where all of us want Cov to be , but I have a deep loathing of the Premiership.
Sky tell the clubs when to play , not the FA as it should be, to optimise their profits. Gone are the days of a great Saturday out, a few bevvies pre and post match, instead we are given stale Monday night football when nearly every fucker has worked that day and has to be in good shape for the Tuesday at work.
Who in this world wants their club playing mid day or 4-30pm on a Sunday ,or even worse 7-45 on a bloody Monday night. Gone are the days of a regular saturday day out with the family or friends.
sky have to much power, and the FA bend over and let them shaft um, all for their profit margin.
i hate/ loathe Sky.

Grendel people use all sorts of transport; walking, cycling, bus, train, car. It is a matter of personal taste or decided by income. Oh of course you see your company car as some sort of staus, something that elevates your worth....when it doesn't. Your sexual loaded comment says more about you than bus users. On other threads you try to be so PC, but you are obviously not. Your prejudice keeps leaking through.

Obviously not. They are on the same level as MK Dons for me.
I'm not surprised to see you defending the franchise and their supporters though.

Young kids fed on MoTD & Sky premiership footie & bound to be more interested in the likes of Incester & the Vile. Who can blame them. Trouble is if you don't get an attachment to the club early on, its not something that attracts you later in life.
I bet the majority on here started going to Highfield road before they were 10.

They definitely used to. One of the lads who comes fairly regularly with me is a mates son and he went to his first game after they came into his school and he got free tickets. He was a Liverpool fan up until that point and is now a dedicated sky-blue. But that was years ago, he's grown up and joined the army. My oldest have been in school for five years now and I've never heard of them coming. Gavin Strachan with his football school is as near as it come.

Suggest you contact the following member of the SCG who apparently has the school contact duties for the club
PAT ABEL launched Tickets for Schools. Over the last five years, 150 schools, 35 junior clubs and 23,000 children have taken part in the scheme which enables families to taste the football experience at an affordable price. She has been an active shareholder, and organiser of the Sky Blue Pool.

SBitC do loads in local schools in Coventry and Warwickshire.. As well as lots of other things. Sometimes there is funding to pay for the coaches to go in to the schools, but more often than not it's down to the school to decide if they buy them in or not.
They have about 20 or so people working for them (which makes them bigger than the Leicester community scheme) and are highly regarded in those kinds of circles (I.e. Clubs working in their local communities).

Yes, it's a shame so many choose to ignore the stuff we do in our communities. It's like someone who will remain nameless who said that Wasps had done more to engage the local community in the four months they'd been here than CCFC had EVER done in their history. Bollocks.

They were probably going to the cov foxes football training. Local coach who is also a scout for liecester runs sessions and takes anyone any good over to liecester for a trial. Strange thing is that the bloke used to have a season ticket up the city.

Leicester City scouts are more in evident at my local football than CCFC scouts and we play in the Coventry League - they had a type of academy called the Coventry Foxes with training in Cov with the better players being sent to Leicester for further training. The guy who helped coach our son's team, wore a Cov top to training but worked for the Coventry Foxes that's how I know so much.

At the Southend games me and my mate sat next to a father and son (both were adults). Father was from Coventry but moved to live out in Leicestershire where his son grew up a Leicester City fan. Dad was a rugby fan and followed Leicester Tigers and had never seen Coventry City play in his life. They both had come to the Ricoh previously to see Leicester Tigers. They were so impressed they had decided to come and watch Coventry City play there.
Do Leicester City and Leicester Tigers realise they are loosing fans to Coventry City? Crowds are made up of all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons.

What the hell? A person working for a football club who supports another club?! Fuck me, that's a shock. Who'd have thought it. Presumably Mowbray, Oggy, Venus et al all supported City before they came here?

Grendel what do you know about the Coventry league, what do you contribute to football in the community other than being a self-proclaimed intellectual heavyweight on here and if there was choice between sitting next to you and slower we know who most fans would choose.

Well I doubt you could afford the ticket to sit by me - or Slower He'd have to auction his bus pass to afford the privilege for even one game.
You sound like a pair of whingers - so I'm glad you are over the other side.

So you don't know anything about local football, which is no surprise, the point i was trying to make despite your constant drivel is Leicester seem to have a far better scouting system utilising volunteers from Coventry to assist them. As for bragging about buying an "expensive" ticket at the Ricoh you must be very flash if not a bit insecure. You have nothing to add to the debate due to lack of insight, you wouldn't be allowed near a boys team for fear that your personality might be infectious.

There is no "debate" - in case you haven't noticed most people on here have ridiculed the OP - only, well you, think there is a debate.

Any Cov head teacher allowing Leicester City near their school should face instant dismissal.
Joking apart, City are losing influence around Banbury and Brackley too. Former CCFC strongholds, Leicester and MK are moving in I'm sad to say.
Yet again, Sisu are largely to blame. They never have had much interest in the club other than as a vehicle for their property ambitions. They simply don't care.

That is why they invested in Mowbray as a manager. If a league 1 club didn't care they'd definitely hire him.

Love these threads, interestingly whenever people post about ccfc doing things in the community or for the kids they get ignored!
The same as when somebody was getting excited saying How great it was wasps had local kids teams there, the week after ccfc had loads of kids teams in their kits walking round the pitch.

Perhaps we should forgive Richardson for all his sins. After all, he did get the finances to sign Robbie Keane.

Come on Tony. Even you must admit that hiring manager like Mowbray is a real coup for a league 1 club.
I am sure that if the likes of Hoffman had been chairman and got him in then plenty on here would be singing his praises.

Nope, unfortunately not. Signing someone above the level of the club is the "minimum expectancy" according to tony.
