FOOTY CHAT

First topic message reminder :

Great reading again Choccy P.....you forget so much so thanks.

Change of avater......and now he's in SkyBlue 3 months.

Loved the match reports Choccy Penguin, our star reporter made me smile reading about last night all over again.

David was when he walked in last night.....told me chapter and verse though he said the PA system needs sorting out where they were sat (opposite one of the goal's....I'll have to ask him where when he gets back from taking Benjie for a walk) you couldn't hear a word being said. Even Benjie was excited when David got back (though I think that was because David was home more than the match THOUGH Benjie did listen to it....though dropped off, he'll never be a Roving Reporter.

Ah wait a moment....I've got his ticket which I'm keeping. It was the East Stand Stand 23 Row MM. and the PA sounds terrible.

Anyway Choccy P ....thank you.

Match report added for the JPT and oh a little game on Friday

Well no a bad run last night got home at midnight. A good win for the under 9's. Football away this season may be dull but it is dam effective.

Dim Fisher our Chairman....OH COME ON.

Wow and a bit of cricket as well.....you lucky things.

Good match report on the match you'd set off to see though....I was wondering if it was a boring as it sounded specially the first half. Thanks anyway Choccy P.

Did you manage to get there Malc?

Football/cricket report in. Wycombe next and then another game Friday, busy

Hi there guys...great to be going home...smashing match report by our roving penguin once again...yeah...had a feeling in my water that we would be back so left out the !away! bit...lol...not so good that they did not look like scoring...so do were do we need new players to fit in....nnnoooooo...don't say EVERYWHERE...
Wonder how far Swindon is from down here..have to look it up but would have to go by train as Jaffar needs the car this Sat...

Did you see Pressley said he thought BOTH teams would be up there at the end of the season???

You'll be thinking you're at the emirates

Oh well there goes my money season ticket in the posh sections hopefully will be confirmed in the next week :partytime: just come to a bit under 9 quid a week for the next ten months but if it goes through it will be a padded seat but with the name of Ben on it Paul's son.

Smashing report Choccy P    As to the ref   

Carole no reduced penguin rates this season   

A good point that's all I can say

Oh well we got a point.   

Yes that's great news as well.....Rob's getting tickets for himself, Steve, Matthew (It's his 12th birthday that day) and David.  

Hey Choccy reduced ticket rates I see   
or do you already get a reduced rate being "penguin"     

Anyone listened to Paul Fletcher this morning?    You'd think he hadn't been the one who drew up and signed the flipping contract in the first place.     we don't all have such bad memories Mr Fletcher.

  great news and not before time.....but FL "You should have shown a backbone long before now".    and well done the supporters who starved Sisu of money and so had them .....as Richard Keys said "Had Sisu crawling back to the Ricoh"

Ok Sisu give the Manager the money.

Oh and the pitch looked really good when we saw it a couple of months ago.

Well Malc did put down Choccy's match reports and not away reports so I will be back on my bike (20 minutes on my old one) and reporting on the home game against Gillingham   

No doubt "We're going home, City's going home" will be sung at the francize that is Milton Keynes.

   
The club has agreed a two-year deal with an option for an extra two years and we should return for the Gillingham match...

Coventry City Football Club has agreed a deal to return to the Ricoh Arena.



The two-year deal, with an option for an extra two years, should see the Sky Blues play at the Ricoh Arena for the first time in the league against Gillingham.



Steve Waggott, development director at Coventry City FC, said: “We are delighted to get this deal done and I am sure every supporter of Coventry City will be thrilled with this news.



“We are under no illusion what a difficult 12 months it has been for the supporters and that was uppermost in our thinking as we worked to get this deal done.



“There has had to be compromise on both sides and the commercial details of the deal will remain confidential.



"The support and guidance from the Football League, and especially from Chief Executive Shaun Harvery, throughout our discussions was a key factor in achieving the aim of reaching this agreement and getting the football club back to Coventry.



“Now it is all about looking forward to a really exciting season back in the community and with a real chance of success. I am sure every supporter will want to give Steven Pressley, his staff and players their full backing for the season at the Ricoh. 



“Logistically, it’s going to mean a huge amount of work between now and the first game back and we would ask supporters to bear with us as all of our efforts up to now have been in getting this deal over the line to get us back to Coventry as soon as possible.



“We will announce details around tickets, Season Tickets and other information as soon as we can next week but we hope to be back at the Ricoh for the clash with Gillingham. We will keep supporters fully informed of progress to that aim.



“Can I also take this opportunity of thanking Chris Robinson, Chair of ACL, for the professional manner he has conducted our lengthy discussions to reach this agreement.”



Chris Robinson confirmed: “Everyone at ACL looks forward to delivering a top quality service to the club and the fans.”



Coventry City have kept Northampton fully informed and would like to thank the club for its hospitality over the last 12 months.

  you forgot?   ....   hey it's because I'm so quiet you just don't realise I'm around.   

A great win...sorry about the card Vicky...messed up again, time goes by so quickly...hey Choccy...were off and running...  

Oh yes happy birthday btw glad you liked the card kept you busy   Good win as well

  yeahhhh.....but of course on my birthday they wouldn't dare do anything more than win.  

Thanks for the birthday card Choccy.....keep me amused for hours.  

Choccy was most surprised to see
yesterdays   game on OUR TV yesterday afternoon
so we were able to watch the whole game ,its been MANY MANY
moons since we have seen City playing

Too bad Hayes knocked that goal in ,things MIGHT have been
different ,although I guess with him setting the goal up for Miller
to kick in shortly after made up for his blunder ,but bet he was KICKING himself
all night   
Did not seem THAT bad a game ,but what again do I KNOW   

   with your  

So good to start reading your match reports again Choccy Penguin.    Sat next to the drummer.

Ok first match report of the season sent in I am now heading off into the ex hurricane to do some work      

 

Looks like my match report contract was been renewed have to get used to all the new players now   

   Choccy P have a lovely day what ever you do....    

So once again the Judge rules against Sisu.    

I wondered if you'd be out there Choccy Penguin.....good start as you say.

Good start to the Italian tour with a 2-0 win and a cracking free kick by Pugh shame I'm not there but I prefer the warm dry weather in Britain and my Teriyaki Mackerel sarnie   

Sack the tour guide

I'll sneak round the back and jump on her.....

Vicky (tee   hee) join the queue

  A Machine Gun with Joy at the helm "I'll get rid of those pesky people"

Cheers for the      Carole

Not sure what Sisu can do next it was said after the verdict no one could appeal but Sisu keep going on despite having no one on their side. Still you never know what is around the corner.

I thought you'd be on the march Choccy P.

True about Sisu and the "Hired" Admin guy.....and they get away with it.

Good song btw.   

We'll only go back to the Ricoh Carole IF Sisu grinds the Council into the ground and get it on the cheap.

So Choccy you were one of the 6000
marching in your Sky Blue colors ....

 Seriously do you ever see Coventry City
ever playing back  in the Rioch   

Ok snack time here you go      

Sorry I put something on about the march but it's not on anymore.

Yes went on the march and it was great really enjoyable   Yes Sisu were hammered in the courts but they will keep going until they get a verdict they want maybe if they hire the judge like they did with the administrator. If Sisu threw the energy into talking as they do into sueing they would be back at The Rioch with match day revenue. The best song on the march was "Let down by the Football League".

Did you go on the march Choccy P?

So Sisu want to talk about coming back to the Ricoh BUT they're still taking about court action.   SISU you've lost three times, gone to court three times, doesn't that tell you something LIKE YOU'RE THE ONES IN THE WRONG.

   Ohhhh they get me so angry.

Interesting piece by David Conn.   

Listening to Dimmy Fisher this morning.....what is that bloke on? Does he really believe the rubbish which he spouts?

Hi Choccy P and Carole.

Yes great news.....though of course Sisu are going to appeal, hope they're told to take a hike.

Choccy did you read all this
http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/high-court-judge-coventry-council-7346032

I see Sisu lost then makes break from the brilliant World CUp

Yes......and I wonder what Sisu's next move will be when they lose.....please let them lose, they were supposed to have paid ACL at the end of LAST MONTH but they're dragging their heels.   AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT......you toothless FL.    

Guess you read this then @ Vicky

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/five-things-learnt-final-day-7260082

Well the court case goes on.....but I don't think Sisu's getting their way.
