It must be a different era because I hate the notion of 'marketing' a sport because by definition fans are then just consumers.
Says a lot about people today. All buying in to the Premier League shite.

Yeah that's what I thought.
Then I thought who in Coventry actually travels on a bus - probably someone who chats up schoolboys.
So you go to watch wasps then?
I am sure I heard of them coming to a couple of schools in Rugby, but its more irregular than regular.
They came to my sons primary school about four years ago, but not since, but I suppose they have minimal numbers in the team, and have to spread themselves thinly.
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).
I love it when a negative thread falls flat on its arse.

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.

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.
Yeah you clearly know lots.
Do you sit by Slower on the bus?
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.
if there was choice between sitting next to you and slower we know who most fans would choose.
#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.
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.
