Hundreds of kids at a "Pop and crisps" day on the JH reign.
Nearly 40 years later......

So what was the OP?
Pretty sure it wasn't about kids parties or NOPM?
Oh yes we used to be chuffed when we beat Utd 3-2 now we are chuffed if we do Chesterfield!!!
WTF?
Breakeven is a lovely idealism but we need owners who can invest a bit themselves and not limp it as debt on the club. ASAP
People say it's not just about throwing money at it but constantly come out with this line. Which is just asking for money to be thrown at it. That having no structure or foundation to the club is fine as long as 'investment' is made. I'm guessing on 'name' players, who seem to have a habit of coming here and being shit. Yet people keep wanting it.
WTF you talking about... "ONE OFF"???? It was a regular occurence at HR. The only "ONE OFF" was the colour picture that you found.Yes, that was a one off at a game where they gave out free pop and crisps to the kids.
There are also the arranged parties, the same as the pop and crisp ones around Christmas time. They get presents from Santa.
I found a picture before that mirrored that one but was recent.

No one gives a shit about the kids party ffs.
Again, this side of it is actually decent. It isn't Fisher or Seppalla personally responsible for these good things either, so when having digs at stuff like this it isn't aiming the dig at them.
It's the other PR and marketing that is more dog shite.
Really? Why state "Pop and Crisps are making a RETURN for legends day" dated 12th February 2016?....Suggesting it was brought back in honour of JH if it isn't a one off?.... How would you know "Pop and Crisps" was a one off if you weren't even born... After all it was you that said you wouldn't comment on something that you didn't know anything about!I was talking about the recent link you posted, as a one off they gave the kids free pop and crisps to celebrate Jimmy Hill.
The colour picture isn't a one off is it?
What's your point?
Who is that aimed at?You are absolutely bonkers! :banghead:

In your opinion of course. You're never wrong are you!:finger:Haha do you really need to ask?
Yes, pop and crisps as in the food and drink. I do know about it as I was there.
They still have the parties, they just give them presents from Santa or a subway instead of actual pop and crisps.
I haven't said the pop and crisps when JH here years ago was a one off? Why would i as it isn't true? http://www.coventrymemories.co.uk/memory/?id=1049&title=Pop_And_Crisps_At_Highfield_Road
I said the recent thing in the Family Zone before the game was.
What have I got incorrect?
Rip me a new arse about Crewe because it "Wasn't how you read it".... Same situation here big boy.

That says to me you think Pop and Crisps was a one off in the 60's-70's.
In the grand scheme of things, really don't think a kids party will make a fig of difference to our future fan base. bringing your kids to a memorable matchday experience and engagement such as Micky Gynn and Peter Hormanschuck visiting your primary school in 1983 are the things that consolidate lifelong allegiance.
I was in primary school during JH's 2nd coming and don't recall the club having a permanent role for someone to visit schools and do the community stuff like David Busst is now doing (maby they were but don't remember them visiting Hollyfast Primary). In fairness to whoever set him up, you do seem to see plenty of evidence of him doing a pretty decent job for the kids and community. Lets hope they don't cut the wage bill and put him on the dole because the only other way to get kids hooked is having a decent, winning team to watch. Guess that takes a bit more investment.
A lot of good stuff like this does go on but gets ignored..
Not once do you mention the "Link"Yes, that was a one off at a game where they gave out free pop and crisps to the kids.

As I remember it, there wasn't a "Designated Ambassador", but the players and JH himself regularly visited my old Primary and High schools as well as holding regular visits to the hospitals in Coventry. We had 2 weeks "Football Schooling" which were held at various schools in Coventry. Woodlands, Whitley Abbey, Bablake, and Caludon Castle, all of which I attended. The only outlay was for my food and drink during the day. Players such as George Curtis, Dietmar Bruck, Ronnie Rees and even George Hudson took lessons over that 2 weeks period free of charge.
The tireless work Pat Raybould and her team do in laying on stuff for the kids is not only amazing but is what lays the groundwork for creating life long supporters. They are all volunteers who do a brilliant job and deserve our full thanks and respect - the amount of time and effort they dedicate is to be commended.
You re-read what you've written mate....Read back through, you have just quoted me mentioning the link and made it bold FFS.
Still, what point are you trying to get at? Apart from just confirming my point earlier on.

That still goes on though, the players and sky blue sam still visits schools, hospitals and charities.
Why don't you give it a rest? No mention in your original reply about the "Link"... Look at it again ffs.Give it a rest, I even confirmed it for you and you still went on. You then made me confirming it in bold and still went on.
You tried to have a silly dig about "40 years later" and a link and it backfired.
Once again, just for you...
You can post it hundreds of times if you want? It doesn't alter the fact you prove exactly what I was saying about people moaning about the community and the kids without knowing what actually goes on.
Read back through, no goalposts were moved.
