Coventry City fans are urged to buy the PUSB match-day programme for the FA Cup first-round tie against Worcester City to support the Royal British Legion.


The club will honour the 18 players who served during World War I with their names being featured on the scoreboard and in a special feature in the club’s match-day programme.


Stephen Jackson, who signed for City in 1911 and served in the war before he was killed in action in 1917 on a battlefield in Belgium, will feature on the cover of the award-winning programme.


For every copy of the PUSB match-day programme sold, priced at £3, £1 will go to the Royal British Legion.

Nice gesture. Are there special shirts too? It should be compulsory for all 92 clubs imo.

Nice gesture by who? The Club have increased the price from a normal £2 for early round cup matches to £3 (it's less than half the size of a normal league programme), so it's the suppporter making the donation not the club. Not that there's anything wrong with that but just pointing out the facts.

Exactly mate a nice gesture would be all profits from the programme. £2.50. Cup programmes always smaller. Wonder if Wednesdays programme will be £3?

I prefer when the donation is known, in this case £1, I'm always wary when reference is made to all profits being donated, this is too vague, all sorts of costs could be added in and the donation minimised.

If this is the sort of thing we're going to criticise then, well, actually, I'm lost for words.

Poor publicity stunt back fired. How come we didn't have Poppy's on our shirt today? Must be only team in the whole country without it! Like the team embarrassment.

On CWR they made a couple of comments about them not fitting right and players having to keep pulling them back up. We can't even do simple things right at our club, pretty much every other team in the country has a poppy printed on their shirt, even Worcester managed it, and we have a poxy armband that doesn't fit.

It about sums the club up mate. Yet you still get people advocating sisu! They call themselves fans. The club is dying all because of the cancer that is sisu but doesn't matter. Lets play the game smash the council who mean fuck all to ccfc

I'll ignore the deranged 'publicity stunt' phrase, but how exactly did the idea of giving money to charity back fire, did they not sell any programmes?

£3 a programme when usually it's £2 for a cup game. It's not a nice gesture at all. I doubt many were sold today at £3. Although Worcester fans probably bought a few as collector items. For me they should have been £2 and all profits to British legion.

I bet they sold more programmes than the last time we had 8k watching. So nothing back fired then, that's good.

All he does is slag people off. The club too. How on earth can he complain about us giving money to charity?

Worcester may have put Poppy's on anyway but maybe one of the reasons why they managed to get them done was because the shirts were specially made with the match details written on them like you'd expect.

We currently have a lack of stock in the shop and can't get special player issue shirts done in what like I said before should be a compulsory act for all PL & FL clubs in this country. At some clubs they have to lodge a deposit with the manufacturer or pay fully up front. Not saying this is a problem our end, just it could be.
