I think it was also positioned there so 'Ricoh' got its name out there quite a lot.
Nah, it's the big wall that's there allowed their name to be printed on it, and seen by the huge TV audience that tune in for our games.More likely RICOH put their name theRW because that’s where the cameras point IMO. Can you name any stadium that doesn’t have cameras pointed at the subs bench?

What, that there's a big wall where Ricoh was emblazoned?!?This is one of the weirder Arena conspiracy theories I’ve come across on here I’ll give you that.

Who on earth said that?!?That a minor photocopier manufacturer got the stadium designed purely for their increased exposure.
What is happening with ticketing? Are the problems we have had due to our low staffing numbers or is there a problem with Ticketmaster - if so how has this happened and how will it be addressed? As the season moves forward can we try to get away tickets on sale earlier, so that tickets reach general sale at least a week ahead of any match?

Maybe missing the point here but there are loads? Anfield, Old Trafford, Emirates, Etihad plus more
Both in the main stand, Stamford Bridge, Goodson and I think st James’ are the same too.Just looked at Anfield from what I can tell the bench is in the Kenny Dalgleish stand and the cameras are opposite in the Main Stand?

Far more likely to look away from the bench than towards it.
Don't think so- go on youtube at a liverpool game. Derby, Sunderland, Newcastle, Sheff Weds, Chelsea, Sheff Utd, Leeds, West Ham- cameras are in the same stand as the benches
No you’re right. My mistake. Is strange then.
Believe Wembley is setup so cameras can be on either side. Sure I've been to games where there's been the English camera crews on one side and the overseas broadcaster on the other, complete with different advertising for each broadcaster.The only major stadium I can definitely say it's on the other side is Wembley and people constantly complain at how shit it looks as the posh seats are empty
Don't know why that would happen, the bit in the middle was specifically built as the TV camera areaBelieve Wembley is setup so cameras can be on either side.

This was a few years ago, think Wembley use Parallel Ads now to change the pitch side advertising depending on where they're sending the feed to.Don't know why that would happen, the bit in the middle was specifically built as the TV camera area
Stadium update. The club are doing some brilliant things but we cannot take the foot off the gas now we’re back at the Ricoh. The 10 year countdown is ticking and it will take years to build one so what’s the plan?
This is match day stuff isn’t it @Sky Blue Pete ? I’m sure finance/stadium Qs weren’t answered previously.
Yep agree with this. Players put their highlights of 23 games on their Instagram stories so why can't the club put out a 23s highlights package? They don't even report the line ups now for under 18s and its been common knowledge on here Tyler has gone to Brighton, and alebi has signed so why hasn't that been announced?Yes, they do a good job answering fans but I find the output media wise generally lacking compared to other clubs. They used to upload the U18 and U23 goals, don’t know why they stopped that…if they don’t have the staffing levels for away games, they could liaise with the other clubs?
Call me old fashioned, but the stadium we're supposed to be playing in definitely comes under the heading "match day stuff".

Perhaps an intro to meeting the under 18s with a profile on the website? I know it's not majorly important but we need to start expanding the brand of Coventry city
Clive pronounces it as yokeres and it annoys me. Should be yerkeres.
Then again, that is probably the least of his worries. Pretty sure he got his own name wrong the other day.
Love it.
Speaking of which I often think I'm losing my mind (or I've had a few too many) watching I-follow as Clive describes the action and calls out players names - as the players he identifies are frequently not the players involved in making that pass/receiving the ball and are most likely on the other side of the pitch....
Even Oggy joined in on the action for the Reading game...not realising for a full 10 minutes that DaCosta had been subbed.....
Excluding mistaken identity of 60% of the team during games and Clive's need to go absolutely mental when the oppo crosses the half way line (which frequently gave me heart attacks on the radio coverage)......I seriously do enjoy Clive's commentary.
I also like Oggy but wouldn't mind a few guest 3rd commentators every now and again to hear a different voice/opinion. Anyone apart from the CCFC bloke who does the welcome to Cov interviews.
Not what I’d describe as a closed shop it’s representatives of all the supporters groups. Interestingly it’s at the sky blues tavern this timeIs this forum a closed shop, why can't fans attend and hold it at the Sky Blue Tavern!
3oclock games can't be streamed. It's a government ruling as far as I'm aware.Appreciate it’s not in the club’s direct remit, but has there been any discussion with the EFL regarding streaming of games in the future? There was a lot of research seemingly commissioned last season and then everything has reverted to normal.
