The prices were high because we didn't negotiate a better deal with ACL. Also Wasps prices were different because they did better negotiating, and the fact they own ACL was immaterial.
Ha, really? Probably went mental about car parking prices too, Fisher ripping us up.
It's no wonder people get so angry and worked up, when they just make shit up and others believe it.

Maybe not that clear is it?
How many people do you think bother to read to the part that mentions compass?
How many people bothered to read the article at all ?
The CT get plenty of publicity on here and as a result get plenty of clicks.
Yet when the CT do an article
That is titled
BBC Price of Football 2016: What is the real cost of watching Coventry City?
The article points out that we pay the most for a pie and a cup of tea.
It then points out that it is important
To remember compass set the prices not SISU and the club only get 15% of the profits.
The article says we are average for season ticket prices. It even points out how more expensive the likes of Southend are compared to us!
It shows a picture of the tool the BBC have used to work out the cost of supporting Coventry City.
There is one line about the cost of replica shirts and match day programs that puts us at the top end.
Most of the article from me reading it is pro club and anti compass.
Highlighting the reasonable cost of Season tickets the fact that compass are ripping the fans off on beverages and the club are not even benefiting from it.
Yet in this forum. This article is highlighted in a thread under "Telegraph spin. "
Dave posts this
"Good one in there today. Every club in League One apart from Fleetwood charge £3 for a programme. In the CT article this becomes 'City also top the League One charts for the most expensive programmes"
For me the spin is Dave picking out one line about the cost of matchday programs and suggesting the article is part of spin by the CET. That for me is the real spin here Dave not the CET.
Sorry chaps but if you are going to slate the paper for spinning surely you need to come up with better examples like this and not your own spin!
The Sky Blues also charge the most in the third tier for a cup of tea, with supporters having to pay £2.50 for a brew.

Or how many just look at the graphic accompanying the article?

Do you look at that and think Compass set the prices or that only 1 team in the division has a cheaper programme than us?

You missed this bit:
How do the sky blues charge the most, we do not sell tea.
Maybe not that clear is it?
Not you and Nick by the look of it. You brought the article up in the first place spitting feathers over 2 lines rather than taking a balanced view of the whole article and Nick proclaims it as "any way to kick the club when they can". Easy to get angry and talk of conspiracy theories when you pick and choose what you take notice of in an article if you bother reading it in it's entirety at all.
Absolutely no question, ironically they are doing exactly what they are criticise others for.

And we all know why , SISU would sell your SOUL TO THE DEVIL . :greedy::greedy::greedy:Think you missed this bit
"It is important to remember however, that Coventry City do not set the prices for food and beverages sold inside the ground. Compass catering are responsible for providing food and drink at the Ricoh Arena, and the Sky Blues only receive 15% of the revenue."
They probably read just the headline and make their own conclusions... As illustrated above.
Nobody is angry or saying it's a conspiracy theory. Strangely it only seems to be you who bangs on about that one?
The headline....
BBC Price of Football 2016: What is the real cost of watching Coventry City?
You said and I quote "any way to kick the club when they can" only they didn't kick the club.
Any way to kick the club when they can

In fairness, you've summed up most people there. They'll see a couple of lines and come away thinking that Fisher is pocketing a load of tea money. Like what has happened. Whether it was intentional or not on the part of the article writer I don't know nor care.Not you and Nick by the look of it.

What misconceptions are being made?I don't disagree FP. I just found it funny that posters who are usually the first to shoot anyone down who mentions management fee's or all the transfer fee's are being taken out of the club to keep Joy in handbags while feeling all superior and educated on all things CCFC are making misconceptions on articles in the CT based on the same principle that leads people to believe that believe that management fee's, all the transfer fee's are being taken out of the club to keep Joy in handbags. Failure to read and/or take in the details. After all, the devil is in the detail.
Absolutely no question, ironically they are doing exactly what they are criticise others for.
The club's a mess and going nowhere, oh well let's give a load of stick to people who complain about it, like the CT and the Trust, as if it is their fucking fault....
Exactly right.The club's a mess and going nowhere, oh well let's give a load of stick to people who complain about it, like the CT and the Trust, as if it is their fucking fault....
