Didn't Coleman have a fair bit of work done in/on the building there
Then Aidy with that stupid fence
Did I read that correctly? Coventry tradesmen are supposed to fix for free the infrastructure multi million pound hedgefund Sisu have allowed to decay? A hedgefund that's used the club to try and blackmail a charity and the council into selling them the Ricoh at huge discount. Sometimes words fail me.
Sisu own the club and it is their job to maintain carparks, not their customers.
They have on occasion splashed a couple of Bob on the place

The truth Is the people who own us have plenty of resources and should be able to keep this asset up to scratch, Its basic maintenance
Doesn't the RICOH look a bit shabby these days too hope Wasps smarten that up for us also after the last lot wasted £2.5M on that stupid Blingy Staircase
Yes. I'm sure the facilities at Walsall, Fleetwood and Southend are massively superior to Ryton.

Sorry Grendel.....I see where you are coming from now Fleetwood have invested 6m in training facilities as have Southend.
I jumped the gun there

This morning BBC had a piece at Leicesters training facility.
A massive indoor artificial pitch etc . At times like this it shows how far we have dropped and how poorly we have been financed.
The interesting thing to know would be if they've been asked to improve things and just refused. If its just been that other managers haven't had an issue with Ryton then good on Mogga for noticing a change is needed. However if SISU have been asked to sort things and not done it or refused that's a different story.
Well their owner has spent well of over £150m in in 4 years.

Why them not us !!
To be fair, what did they have before they invested? Remember ours were PL standard not so long ago, so only needs bit of maintenance here and there, where as Fleetwoods would have been non league standard to start with.

In truth I wouldn't begrudge giving the club a bit of help if they needed it. However I don't really have any of those fixing-up type skills, and I think there's already a surplus of people available in the 'leaving snarky comments on the internet' area.
So have ours!Well their owner has spent well of over £150m in in 4 years.

I thought the same, but to be fair, I could clean, paint and probably do a few other things around the place to help out.
The club should put a call for help out on a particular day, I'd be up for doing something a few days.
Certainly something one of our menagerie of fans groups can help with you'd think.
There's a thought...why don't SISU pay for a course to train up a local army of unemployed younger supporters to do all this stuff & the training involves sprucing the place up as well as giving them a better start & chance in life?I thought the same, but to be fair, I could clean, paint and probably do a few other things around the place to help out.

I love the centiment, and perhaps for fans, their services in exchange for a meet and greet or VIP match ticket etc would be great........but the very notion of fans offering their services for free to paint a room so players who earn £2k a week can sit in more comfort it doesn't quite sit right with me.
The would seem an obvious thing for the SBT to get involved in. There must be fans working in these trades who would be up for helping out.
Exactly, give the fans a match ticket and a thank you and to watch the players train or something.I thought the same, but to be fair, I could clean, paint and probably do a few other things around the place to help out.

Surely it's a more obvious thing for SISU to be involved in...as owners ?The would seem an obvious thing for the SBT to get involved in.

Or should we as fans be expected to pay for more of the club's running costs ?
Mowbray said:The dressing rooms need a lick of paint, the car park has potholes everywhere and it needs changing – if it means redirecting a few quid off the pitch into the environment where the players come to work and then we build the team then I think it’s worth it because otherwise you never get out of where you live.
Mowbray said:In an ideal world there would be an army of Coventry City fans wanting to come down and put the building back into shape, whether that’s painters, tilers, roofers, guys who change windows – whatever it might be – but when the players come back in July hopefully the place will be a different environment for them.

It's not that odd. Fans have before cleaned snow off pitches, helped clear terraces of ice etc and been given free tickets. Community initiatives are a good way of bonding the club and the supporters.
That made me laugh you being able to laugh at anyone brilliant.That made me laugh! The SBT doing something positive to help the club?! You having a laugh?!!
The 2 examples you have given are types of emergency short-term help, normally so that a match can be played that afternoon, and yes it's good fan/club/community bonding.It's not that odd.

Laying tarmac or painting/refurbishment are not the same.
