Coventry v Mosley Boxing Day, match details and information
By Unofficial Coventry Rugby
December 22 2009
I have received important correspondence from Tony Caesar and the Moseley communications team reference the game at Billesley Common on Boxing Day. The following information includes How to find us, Bar & Catering, and very importantly a very special offer if you buy 10 tickets. If you require further information please phone or fax: 0121 443 3631 or email: info@moseleyrugby.co.uk
We look forward to welcoming Coventry Rugby Club and supporters to Billesley Common for the RFU Championship game on 26 December with a 3pm kick off.
How to find us
Directions for travel to the ground are on the club website www.moseleyrugby.co.uk (How to find us). This includes details of train and bus travel. Train and bus to the ground is relatively straightforward.
Car parking is free, and disabled badge holders can park right next to the wheel-chair friendly clubhouse. To avoid congestion (and to keep our neighbours happy!) please follow the directions on the website and approach the ground from the South.
Bar & Catering
The bar and catering facilities are open from 12 noon on match day serving a variety of food such as "panini", Chilli, jacket potatoes, succulent pork baps (described by a Rotherham visitor as "the best pork butty in Christendom!") healthy sandwiches as well as the usual "chips with everything" from three different serving locations. We received plaudits from many visiting supporters last season. The bar usually has at least one real ale (currently Mansfield along with Banks Bitter) as well as the usual array of Guinness/Lager/Cider etc. Purity ‘Mad Goose’ has recently been added as a regular ‘guest’ beer: http://www.puritybrewing.com/mad-goose.cfm
Match Preview & Report
Moseley's match preview is on the club website (click on 1st XV then fixtures) by the Tuesday running up to the game. The Birmingham Post carries full match previews on Friday preceding the game. The Sunday Mercury carries the first match report though it is not always available on-line. http://www.sundaymercury.net/midlands-sport/midlands-rugby/ Unless you get left behind (or of course live locally) the match report from Monday's Post is usually on their website mid morning www.birminghampost.net
Match Day entry
Entry is £15 for adults, Senior Citizens £10; Youth (Under 21) £6; Under 16 £3
The covered stand is £2 extra (please pay at the stand NOT on the gate)

The programme is available on the entry gates priced £2.

The ideal present for your friends and relatives! All Moseley branded and a souvenir of your visit!

If you can't immediately find what you're looking for – go to 'What's New' and click on 'A-Z' at the top of the page.
If you have any queries please contact us either at the clubhouse on 0121 443 3631 or via email info@moseleyrugby.co.uk
Special ticket offer
We've put together a ticket offer that may help both clubs. If you buy 10 in advance (or multiples of) you get them for £10 (face value £15). This means it could be a way of raising cash for a fighting fund.
This is open to clubs and groups, so could be Cov supporters or any Warwickshire Rugby Club that may wish to take advantage and use the 'profit' any way they wish (hopefully to help ensure future derbies!).
We're also looking to organise a half time Tug of War (Mose supporters v Cov) which may be a laugh, and will be having a marquee. The marquee may be a good place for Cov supporters to have a rallying point/desk.
Happy to provide further details if you're interested. We look forward to your visit!
Regards
Tony and the Moseley Communications Team.
P.S. We would be delighted to hear what your supporters thought of their visit, both good and where we can improve – they’d be most welcome to email us info@moseleyrugby.co.uk

BOXING DAY – MOSELEY v COVENTRY
COVENTRY SUPPORTERS: CHANGED PARKING ARRANGEMENTS –
“PLEASE DON’T TRY TO GO TO THE USUAL ENTRANCE!”
In order to accommodate the crowd anticipated, specific areas have been allocated to different groups of supporters – all of these are free, secure and close by. It is essential that you go to the one allocated to you as all areas have been pre-designated and you will not be permitted to enter another area.
Those coming from Coventry and Warwickshire rugby clubs have been allocated parking in Kings Heath Boys School, off Hollybank Road, Birmingham B13 0RJ. . Full details of how to get there are shown on our website www.moseley.rugby.co.uk.
It is easy to find and it will be clearly signposted on Hollybank Road and marshaled. You will then enter the ground at the top of Billesley Common. The special supporters’ marquee with entertainment and refreshments will be in front of you as you enter the ground.
regards
Tony

Pitch update
As at 12noon today (Thursday 24th)we are still confident that the game will go ahead as arranged (3pm ko on 26th). Last night's snow hasn't altered the situation that much and the pitch is starting to thaw.
Arrangements are still in place to inspect at 3pm today, 11am tomorrow and at 9am on the 26th if necessary.
The Mose message board ( http://www.voy.com/73535/ )will be updated with any changes to the situation.
