After having a season ticket for 25 seasons, I have not renewed for the 2017/18 Season. I received the following e-mail today:
I write to you with the 2017/18 season now just days away. I have been impressed with the attitude and commitment shown by the players already and the squad is already gelling together.
When I wrote to you back in April, I spoke of the need to rebuild the squad for the demands of League 2. We have been busy recruiting the correct type of player to get us out of this division, and so far nine new players have joined, along with members of last season's squad committing their futures to the club.
The players we have brought in all have the correct mindset and winning mentality, which will be vital in the season ahead. The establishment of a Recruitment Department and putting in place the correct processes for transfers has been crucial in this.
As a 2016/17 Season Ticket holder who has not purchased for the new season yet, I hope that you will come back to the Ricoh Arena for the upcoming campaign - whether as a Season Ticket holder again or on a match by match basis. Season Tickets remain on sale until midnight this Friday, ahead of the first home game of the season against Notts County on Saturday 5th August.
The club would like to do a special offer for you as a fan who has not yet renewed, where you can still save money on your Season Ticket. This price is halfway between the cost of a full price Season Ticket now and the price that an Early Bird Season Ticket was, and I hope it is one which you will take up as excitement builds. Please note, the deadline for this offer is midnight on Friday.
The money which is brought in through ticket sales is vital in providing the support I need in this transfer window and the next one to further strengthen the squad as we aim for promotion.
This is a club that can turn around - it won't be easy but I know it can. We've got a brilliant fan base that are passionate and I know you will always back the players. The feeling that we get as a group is that the supporters are desperate to back us because they want to see us succeed.
If we focus on what we're trying to do and you support us, then we can achieve great things together. Once again, thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you again during what we all hope will be a successful season.
Yours Sincerely
Mark Robins
Manager, Coventry City Football Club
