Thought I'd post a few observations on my visit to todays open day:
- Not as well attended as I'd have hoped... hope the club were happier
- Thought thered be more kids there
- Pitch looks great. For some reason, I expected the 'grass' to be spikey to touch, it wasnt. The ground was actually softer than I'd Imagined too
- watching how the ball is affected by the pitch, I feel it bounces slightly more and rolls a bit further
- Players are looking fit and looked sharp in their training session
- Q&A's saw some reasonable questions asked.
- Everyone seems positive for the season
- Theres at least one new supporter this season who I spoke to today... very much looking forward to it.
- RW not co corned about away form, we haven't lost away in the league for 6 months
- XL Motors stand is heavily advertised as such... even as you look underneath from the main stand
- Theres a building being erected at the railway end, I presume additional matchday hospitality/conference facilities
- club shop was open, I saw a decent number of people carrying (I assume) purchased goods away
- All the staff look part of the team in their Coventry Skins tops too. Nice touch
- Carpark is now pay and display as mentioned elsewhere. Aside from the two (i think) pay points, it is not obvious that you have to pay as there are no more signs, hopefully people dont get caught out
- Season ticket holders' reserved seating updated with new logo/crest
Really looking forward to the season, it's about time it got started. First one for me will be Bedford at home. Cant wait!
