« on: April 04, 2023, 08:17:24 AM »
Season tickets for Coventry rugby go on sale today so some decisions must have been made. https://www.coventryrugby.co.uk/an-open-letter-from-executive-chairman-jon-sharp/

That link does say 4th April- which by my calendar is today.

No reason not to sell STs despite not knowing the fixture list as long as you do know how many games you are potentially offering.

However certainty can't be far away!
Let me tell you something cucumber

That's seriously weird because I still can't see a date and I've tried 2 different browsers.

Two interesting points.
1. Seem the plan to have a Prem & Champ cup is not just a vague idea
2. Sounds like a proper restructure is likewise on the cards

At least Coventry seem to think so anyway.

I can also see the line "150th Season memberships go on sale Tuesday 4th April"

Thanks Niels and Paul,

I' must be developing Dyslexia, or going senile, I had to read that a couple of times for it to register.

Season tickets have just gone on sale. This doesn't tell us a great deal:

Quote
Our Coventry Membership includes entry to all home matches for the 2023/24 season, including pre-season friendlies (dates, times and opposition TBC). 2023/24 Cup home matches will also be included in your Season Membership. We can guarantee a minimum of 17 matches.

If I read this correctly (on past performance in this thread don't bet on it): lets say 2-3 home pre season home matches and at least one cup match implies they are expecting 13 or 14 home league games so a 14 or 15 team league v the current league of 12 teams. So us, WW and possible ANO (Newcastle?) in the mix?

Without a team, ground or DOR? That would be unlikely. I mean Wasps away fixtures  would actually need a city attached surely?

Championship fixtures weren't announced until late June last year and actual days / times not until August.

How about moving Wasps home round all the other teams home grounds when they are playing away?

That would be fun and it would mean that virtually all Wasps fans get 2 games within relatively easy travelling distance.
