The four year old might manage that but the seven year old is a bit soft for that I think

Adoption is easy enough. Two foot him.

That site is hilarious is there anything our fans didn’t throw from the stands at their ground?

They talk a lot of talk but believe me, if they lose tonight and have to play us again next season, they will not look forward to our fixtures, all caused by them by the way.

Go on pompey

I’ve already worked out my pub route to St Andrews

 

[LB87ccfc]

If we are to groundshare at St Andrews, then its not as bad as Northampton, whole different scenario, for example -

Easier trains from Coventry that average £7.50 return
Much more choice of pubs and bars as well as eateries in Birmingham City centre beforehand compared to Northampton and in some cases the Ricoh
Not a million miles to walk or a cab would be no more than £6-£7 split between friends - a couple of quid.
Mix with fellow football fans before games, with away fans coming in to the city for example playing Vile, WBA, Walsall.

Every game would be an away day, and have more of a HR feel to games beforehand compared to the depressing soulless matchday experience at the wasps nest.

Just my opinion.

[Nick]

What a twat! Who writes stuff like that?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Next yeah I'm hoying my shit bag at him.

 

[ajsccfc]

He's been arrested thankfully Football club 'bomb' threat suspect held

I thought people calling a reporter a paedophile was the maddest thing I'd see on there for a while, forgot it's Twitter and you just have to blink in order to see new levels of lunacy.

The trust please stop my ribs hurt so much from laughing, speak for the fans my arse! They do not represent the fans and never have, about as useful as a chocolate fireguard them pricks.

I gather a hill is being built above St Andrews so the trust can shout and shake their fists at anyone going in

Be too busy in their executive boxes given to them as gifts for their hard work at Wasps games to care about what is going on at St Andrews.

The Coventry Unicorn FC will be playing Alvis in front of 30k at the Ricoh on the same day

 

[The Penguin]

The Coventry Unicorn FC will be playing Alvis in front of 30k at the Ricoh on the same day

I assume the ‘k’ after the 30 was a typo?

 

[Nick]

The Coventry Unicorn FC will be playing Alvis in front of 30k at the Ricoh on the same day

It sounds very familiar. It's almost as if it happened before when it was "go and support cov ladies instead at the Ricoh".

It's almost as if 2 of the directors from Cov Ladies at the time are heavily involved in the Trust.

Whilst on Sunday some Coventry fans will undoubtedly travel the 35 miles to Sixfields many more will register their opposition to this by refusing to go – to those fans not going, the Sky Blue Trust would urge them to help make their message to SISU even louder by going to the Ricoh to support the Coventry City ladies. Would it not send a real message if there are more at the Ricoh to watch the ladies than at Northampton to watch the men?

It promises to be a fun day with the ladies youth teams playing on the pitch at half-time, as well as acting as ball girls during the main event. There will also be a bucket shake before the game, to raise much-needed funds to support the club over the course of the season ahead. Cheerleaders will be entertaining the fans before the game and refreshments will be available throughout the day.

Last season, the Sky Blues clinched their second successive Birmingham FA County Cup, as well as finishing fifth in the FA Women's Premier League, the highest-ever league finish in the club's history.

On the eve of their new campaign, Coventry City will head into the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division as one of the clear favourites for the title. Chairman Bill Newnes commented "this has given our season the start the players deserve and everyone at the club is made up to be able to play our first game of the season at the heart of women's footballatThe Ricoh Arena" He went on to say "we want everyone to get behind the Ladies Team and come along and support the only premiership team in Coventry. Bring your family and friends along and experience womens football at it's best".

The match will take place on Sunday 25thAugust at the Ricoh Arena, and will kick-off at 2pm with doors opening at 12.30pm. Tickets cost £5 for adults and £3 for concessions and children, and can be purchased online atwww.theticketfactory.com Parking will be available at £2. www.cclfc.co.uk

Just compliments, I think. I would have said depleted uranium but there were allegations on that site of a cannister being discovered just after half time.

 

[BrizzolSkyBlue]

Nobody is having a go at people that simply can't attend outside the city, if they are they're being completely unfair and I think there is understanding for people who will suffer from this. None of us want the club outside Cov.

True, but from a personal perspective I would fully support a groundshare with Bristol Rovers / City (although it might annoy a few other fans)

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

???

Buying a season ticket, wherever! Edit: did you think I was inviting you round?!!

 

[Disgruntled Sky Blue]

City 'till I die.

That statement may turn out to be 'City 'till they die' but I'll be supporting the club to try and prevent that happening. No hedge fund or council c**t will get in the way of that.

Absolutely! Didn't go to Northampton on principle although knowing what I know now I may well have done.

As soon as the ground is sorted I will be buying my ST to support the club.

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

Regularly attend home and away matches but Have never had a season ticket because I live bloody miles away up north (and usually go on my own-altogether now-arrhhhhhh!)

Am seriously considering buying one this year to support Mark Robins with some much needed cash for another successful season and to stick a massive middle finger up at the wasps, the council and the Trust.

I’ve seen City play at Highfield Road, Wemberlee, the Ricoh and Northampton; not being in Coventry won’t stop me from seeing my beloved City.

Loving the camaraderie on this site-just like the ‘Thank you’ thread-we are all pulling together in the right direction for the good of our club.

Won’t be allowed unless there is a firm plan to come back to coventry. And if not how many years do you think coventry city football club will exist if playing in Birmingham or Milton Keynes or wherever

Who is not going to allow you?

Haha not quite, although I am standing outside with a couple of tinnies just in case
Actually wasn't sure if there was a meeting or something I'd missed off the calendar that was imminent.

...come on Pete, you know you want to see the mighty Sky Blues play; it could be your few quid that tempts Julian Gray back into the fold (spoiler alert)

 

[johnb]

I’m in ! Season ticket as per usual. Northampton season did away games only but the insects have now made this personal. Birmingham away is fine by me as away games north I always get off at New Street and have a pint or two at the Shakespeare anyway. Let the Brummies have our hard earned if our crappy council thinks our city is cash flush enough it does’nt need our money.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

I’ll be there as I was at sixfields. There’s no way the council will dictate who I watch play football.

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

I’m afraid those who post on here are in the minority. To your average fan, rightly or wrongly, they will see this as a kick in the teeth and won’t go out of principle. I’d be amazed if we got anything over 5k.

I'd see 5k as a 'success'. We'd probably get more income on that than we do currently at the Ricoh!

To be fair, the average fan probably just thinks whatever the telegraph have told them anyway.

 

[GaryJones]

Im 100% certain that I will be at "home" games wherever we are. Ive got 5 Season Tickets at the Ricoh for me and my son and stepson plus 2 spares for their mates so as long as the prices dont increase I will be getting another 5.
As a gesture of goodwill and considering the extra costs involved in getting to "home" games I would hope that CCFC actually reduce the prices, be great to keep the attendance figures similar to last season so we can stick 2 fingers up at the Wasp interlopers and prove we dont need those fuckers!
CCFC are my team and I will support my team wherever they play - end of!

 

[Ashdown]

Look I admire the indomitable spirit shown by some but the reality is the attendance will reduce to a small portion of St Andrews, so the club will be cash starved, the atmosphere will be bizarre and the older supporters will shun the travel in the middle of winter.

Yup. For all the breast beating and calls to arms, that is the stark reality.
