I was told the club were informed all CCFC related stuff was to go in the dressing room only. My understanding is Waggott is trying to get this changed so at least our stuff is up on matchdays.

What's been removed from Ryton? I would have thought if there's not enough CCFC related stuff up there it is because its never been there not because someone has gone round and taken it all down.
Just checked on the Ricoh and from what I'm told the first batch of stuff was removed by 'a fans group', I would guess this means the trust. Apparently that was done as it was items that had been donated for display and there were concerns about what would happen to it if we moved out. The second lot was removed by the club when we moved to Northampton.
When we came back there was a plan to put it all back up but before anything could be done the takeover happened and we were shunted to a smaller dressing room and told all our stuff had to go in there.
Just passing it on so don't shoot the messenger!
As a point of order, didn't that begin with Richardson/McGinnity who ensured there were no pics of the cup final team around HR? Don't we have a long tradition of being a bit crap with our heritage? (a heritage of being crap, in fact!)
Another point of order, I'd be amazed if Mowbray removed 'em

The latest article on CT.
Currently 65% want the statue to remain at the Ricoh.
Don't know if this has been posted but wasps have released a statement
We would ask visitors to the Ricoh Arena to please respect the Jimmy Hill statue – a man who played an enormous part in Coventry City’s history and is remembered fondly by sports fans around the world – and leave it alone on match days.
“We would like to apologise for any offence caused to Sky Blues fans.”
Nice of them to apologise hopefully the fans will listen and respect the statue now
I wonder why? Somewhere in the City Centre would be better.
No I'm talking about our long term future, regardless of the owners, be it sisu or a Russian billionaire.
Can you really see us still at the Ricoh in 15-20 years time renting, a yellow and black seated bowl paying rent whilst getting little access to revenues? I can't.

Until Sisu withheld the rent did many of us really care about renting off ACL?
We just concentrated on the football.
Nothings changed other than the rent is only £100K and we have access to some incomes.
Would you be happy with a long term deal, say £100K a year rent in L1, £400K in the Championship and £1.2M in the PL ?
Plus access to 50% of football profits, all of which would be in place with never having invested a penny in the infrastructure of the Ricoh.
Perhaps alternating black and sky blue seats with CCFC and WASPS spelt out in yellow.
The stadium plastered inside and out with both Wasps and CCFC memorabilia.
A concentrated area for CCFC say along the railway where we could have a the memorial garden, the wall and perhaps Wasps could build us a shop that we could rent. Move Jimmy into that area.
I would.

Personally don't see much point moving it now until the whole "stadium" thing is sorted. If it gets moved to town, it may well have to just be moved again.
I would like it moved to the City Centre. Not sure how much it would cost, though.
The other thing would be, where in the City Centre?
Don't take the piss.

Move him by the Garden of Remembrance and concentrate 'our area' along the back of the east stand along with the fans bricks and the station.
Got to be a will to do it but its a fair compromise.
Get some banners up of of past players above their wall of honour. At grounds such as the Emirates and Amex they have large posters with ex-players circulating the stadium.
Was saying this on another thread. We went to the King Power the last week as we were in Leicester and my lad wanted to see the ground. There's no mistaking who plays in their stadium. Leicester badges everywhere, massive pictures of players all over the place.
We've NEVER had any of that not even before Wasps. And not before SISU either. It's always been plain and pretty boring from the outside.

Didn't the club have to fight just to get the badge put up in the first place.

The council weren't exactly very accommodating.
Not sure how you're draw that conclusion -

I suspect Wasps will want to get rid of their lower class tenants as soon as possible, now they're awash with bond cash. Expect a much higher rent and a take it or leave it attitude when it's renegotiated. I do think it's time the club looked elsewhere.
