I'm not a CRFC supporter. Never have been, never will be. However, if there was going to be any "joining up" done then I'd want it with them as they're at least a Coventry team.

Membership isn't annual it's seasonal. Really not difficult to understand. Membership lasts until the end of this season. Memberships are renewed for next season.

Time will heal.
Wasps will be massive next year so you might as well join the party

Ah, you quoted him
Anyway, once again... Dad played with and against thje likes of Duckham and Rossborough, followed them round the country at times when it certainly wasn't the done thing.
They're part of *my* heritage... and in terms of collective conscious, a lot more part of everyone's heritage than any interlopers.
Worth noting we nearly weren't CCFC, as CRFC objected. They've always been the senior sports clubs in the city, living in tension and tandem, ebbing and flowing success and failure over periods of decades.
As it should be, a sense of permanence and place.

I'll leave it to others to "join the party" thanks all the same. A proud Wasps Party Pooper.

I know, and if that's the case its a waste of time if you want to encourage younger fans.
Once the season starts you start to think twice about it.
How about a 12 Months running membership/season ticket that covers all games during that period providing you come with a paying adult ?

Don't get the argument, to be honest. Kids get a free season ticket with a JSB membership. It's a great thing to do and encourages the kids. Shame the moaners like you can't acknowledge it. Still, up the Wasps.
The second sentence doesn't really make sense. The Season Ticket DOES cover all games as ALL THE GAMES are during the CURRENT SEASON which the JSB membership ACTUALLY COVERS.

Easy.
If you don't get one at the start of the season you loose out.
I want kids to have easy access all year round and a 12 Month membership/ticket is better.
Perhaps I should have said a 12 Month 'rolling' membership/Season ticket for kids with a paying adult.
Currently it sounds like taking out a 12 months Gym membership that runs from Jan 1st until Dec 31st where it costs you the same annual amount all year but still finishes on Dec 31st.

It's been a tenner for a while, may be cheaper now with less games.

Why would they need access to games all year round when the season isn't all year round? You pay per season, half way through the season the price halves.
Think you just want to moan for the sake of it.
The answer is to get one at the start of the season... For £25 it's every home league game for free, much easier to moan though.
What did you think of the jsb kids party at Christmas?

What would be the use of a 12 month membership taken out in January (for example)? What would you do with it during May, June and July?
Nick

Nothing and sisu would then be ripping kids off then no doubt. Excuse to moan really

As i said you're not making sense. The JSB membership gives access to ALL league games during the season. What's the use of one in the summer?

I'm not moaning, I'm trying to be constructive here.
Your attitude is the same as Sisu's in respect that they can't see the other ways to encourage people back.
Most people do not want to commit for a season and it seems difficult for committed supporters like yourself to understand that.
It needs to be that people can just turn up when they want and not get involved in JSB just to get cheap tickets for kids.
Can kids be JSB's now ? Yes they can if they want a 2 game membership. Although who knows ?
If they use the Ricoh electronic system next season I would expect some flexibility.
You should be able to take out a 12 Month JSB membership that takes in all games during that 12 Months even if it overlaps 2 seasons.
I still think under 12's should be free with a paying adult but the above, with it's flexibility, would satisfy most.

I've had a look at the website and it seems to be an organisation called Bristol Sport. Other sports are involved too but it doesn't seem to actively involve the council, it is a private company pulling it all together. It looks like the model that should be adopted in Coventry, bearing in mind that we have decent ice hockey, speedway and rugby league teams in the city as well.
I believe the first stage of setting up something similar would be for Wasps to acquire CCFC. I know Wasps are newbies but the fact is they are here to stay and own the Ricoh. There don't seem to be many serious alternatives, frankly. Sisu's continued ownership will just drag us down further.

I give up ?
Okay one last go.
A membership would last for 12 Months, say from February 2015 to March 2016 (or whenever you wanted it to start) and cover all matches.
That way you would not think twice about getting one part way through the season because you effectively still get a full season.
Nick

But you pay less part way through the season, people aren't losing out are they?
Are people really that picky when it comes to a tenner / twenty quid when you get all games, vouchers, free gift and invites to the great parties? I could understand if we are talking £300 but it isn't is it?

Yes
They were waving fucking flags mate - about 3 grades down from being a mascot. The glory of doing that should be enough for them.

Really? I think it's a bargain, the Christmas party was worth it twice over.
What did you think of the Christmas party and the crafts they do?
I can understand if it's a massive amount but it's not and well worth it. Nothing to do with being die hard and commiting, for 5 luke warm bottles of beer at the ricoh my daughter can go to every game and go to the parties etc. The vouchers have saved me the cost in match tickets anyway

Sorry, I am a season ticket holder and have not got any information on it.
I often think of taking one or more of my 6 grand kids up to get them started now that my original family party of 6 is down to just myself.
I would need to Pay £9-£13 to get each one in. Hardly an incentive for a first time. To consider JSB membership is just another challenge on the day.
Obviously from the lack of kids, others have the same idea.

There you go amended it for you.

Take them to kids for a quid day to see if they like it, if they do sign them up to jsb.
You don't sign them up on the day, you do it before.
If you want to take one up, sign one up as jsb and then use that one to take one each week. If they love it sign more up. You get vouchers like kids tickets for a quid to take friends anyway to take another grandkid. Also get family vouchers for 2 adults 2 kids for £20.
It isn't hard unless you want to make it a big deal. Do you want tim Fisher to come and personally do it for you? Just sounds like excuses really.
Information about the Christmas party was on here, on the ccfc website. It was praising the club and volunteers so got ignored. I saw a five year old go from just wanting to do coloring to talking about players and wanting signatures.
Nick

He didn't start talking about wasps.
Or or at the very least get an open dialogue with the stadium owners for a long term agreement.
But it helped take the thread away from the original comment regarding our PR.

So why not say it to the person who mentioned wasps? Don't get it

Much of the problem with the club and it's ticket policies lie with their inability to market and push them out to the catchment area in general either by billboard, leaflets, E mails, Radio. They seem to wait for people to search out offers and deals on their website.

Just had a quick look through the CCFC website store and I was amazed at how expensive everything is. £70 for a stadium jacket (the one the managers wear)...won't catch me paying that

I'll ask again as I did last time, why don't you go around pulling up others when they state false 'facts' and present opinions as facts? Funny how you only pop up when Wasps are mentioned? I called you out on it last time you popped up to defend them, and you had no response then either.
