February Footy

Ricoh Arena, Coventry City FC against Accrington Stanley


Coventry City host their second Community Day for the visit of Gillingham to the Ricoh Arena on Saturday 2nd with thousands of tickets being given free to local schools and clubs and all other tickets on sale at just £5.

Last season's inaugural staging of the event saw over 28,000 in attendance for a League Two clash with Accrington Stanley.

The future remains hugely uncertain for the Sky Blues as their deal to play at the Ricoh is once again approaching its end and the ongoing legal action being pursued by the club’s owners make the prospect of any deal with Wasps over an extension unlikely at present.

Mark Robins has worked wonders on the field to drag City back from what looked to be a freefall through the divisions and engagement with supporters (such as with the Community Day event) has been much improved over the past year or so.

Here's hoping that I will be writing about a third staging of the Community Day in CV6 next season.

Similarly improving on the field against a continuing backdrop of dissatisfaction with unpopular owners are Charlton Athleti, Lee Bowyer having guided his side into the thick of the promotion chase.

The offer of Football for a Fiver is a longstanding initiative at the Valley and it is in place for the League One fixture at home to Blackpool on Saturday 16th.

I've got my tickets for the Women's Continental League Cup Final at Bramall Lane on Saturday 23rd (kick-off 12.15pm) with the participants to come from semi-finals between Arsenal and Manchester United and Chelsea and Manchester City (tickets for this game at Kingsmeadow on Wednesday 6th are available priced at just £3 Adults and £1 Concessions).

Early-bird prices for the final are £7.50 Adults (£10 afterwards) and £1 for Concessions.
