CAN YOU BOOK YOUR SEAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
We need fans to booked the seats on the coach as soon as possible,so
we can make sure we have the coaches on we need. We want to take as many fans as possible to the Ricoh, We
never want to turn fans away. We have had a mad rush in the past and had to try and get a bigger or more coaches on. We need
you to work with us on this; the sooner you book your place the easier it is to get the correct coach of coaches on and not
let anyone down.

2007/8 Season – more ups and downs than The Grand
Old Duke of York! – a look back at the season
At
the end of most seasons, it’s difficult to remember all the highs and lows, but this season has been more of a challenge
in this respect than most!
Back
in August, City had just completed a relatively good pre-season, and entered into the Championship full pelt – after
six games, we were still undefeated, and clear at the top of the table by a point from Watford.
We were still in “the last stages” of negotiations with the US
consortium that were to be our “dream ticket” and all looked rosy. The negotiations dragged on past the end of
the first transfer window, and Iain Dowie (remember him?) started to grumble about the inability to “freshen up”
the squad. However, the existing squad continued to “do the business” if a bit more sporadically – spectacular
success came in the cup against Man Utd at Old Trafford – over 74,000 seeing us take the game 2-0. However, league form
started to slump, and slowly but surely we dropped down the table. The Americans eventually pulled out of their bid and our
desperation to find a buyer to sort the club’s debt problem got ever more urgent. Eventually, having twice posted a
“drop dead” time for going into receivership, Ray Ranson and SISU came to the rescue – even this was not
clear cut, and the inability to get the amount of shareholder backing that they sought meant another transfer deadline came
and went…..we did however lose strikers Dele Adebola and Kevin Kyle to Championship opposition, with no replacements
lined up, Leon Best requesting a transfer away, and Leon Mc Kenzie out for the season. Form continued to drop off alarmingly,
and we dropped to the point where we are still not mathematically certain that we won’t be in the dreaded bottom three.
January saw some cheer with a magnificent away win at Blackburn in the FA Cup, soon countered
by an embarrassing home defeat against “The Baggies”. Ray Ranson decided to part company with Iain Dowie and his
management team over “different views on how the team should progress” and in came Chris Coleman.
It’s
difficult to judge how good the new management on and off the pitch will fare next year as their hands have been tied by missing
the boat with transfers and an obvious concentration on sorting the business side of things (including our club having a share
in the Ricoh Arena and it’s incomes). It’ll be a very interesting close season……
As
the club started well and things got worse, CCFC Kenilworth Supporters had a bad start and things got better. We ran coaches
to all the home games, but the second one, to the friendly against Udinese left us stranded at the Ricoh for a while due to
a broken down coach, followed not long after at the Bristol
game, breaking down on the way back! – as ever, you all remained patient until things were resolved – much appreciated
by all of us. Furthermore, Kenilworth Supporters have stayed amazingly loyal despite the disappointments on the pitch. 26th
January (Millwall in the FA Cup) saw us pass a remarkable milestone as we celebrated having taken 5,000 to games since the
Ricoh opened its doors. Jim Seaton had just joined the Committee with responsibility
for PR, and was given the job of arranging something suitable to mark the occasion. Consequently, prior to the home game against
Barnsley, we were invited “pitchside” for a presentation of recognition by local
boy (and then Assistant manager) Tim Flowers – thrashing Barnsley 4-0 really made it
a day to remember. Unfortunately, Tim was to leave the club around one week later.
During
the year, your Committee members have spoken on our behalf on BBC Cov & Warks,
and have now become involved in the Sky Blues “Fans Forum” initiative – giving us a direct voice to the
senior management of the club.
The
final “icing on the cake” came at the last home game against Wolves where we broke our record for attendees on
a day, taking 115 to the game. In total, we’ve taken 5,683 fans to games at the Ricoh now, which is a fantastic testament
to the support we have here in Kenilworth. After the game we were able to enjoy a drink and
refreshments at the Tiltyard, and to look forward to next year. The whole committee wanted to put on record their thanks for
the fantastic support you’ve all given over the year – Chairman and founder, Jim Arnold said “thanks to
the loyalty of CCFC Kenilworth Supporters, through thick and thin, we’ve now firmly established a consistent service
for all supporters in the area from what was originally started three years ago. We are now averaging over 70 supporters for
every game, and that figure is rising constantly. This support means an awful lot in terms of assuring our future ability
to run the service, and hopefully, to ensure that the voice of CCFC Kenilworth Supporters is heard by the club; many thanks
to all our regulars, and also to the growing band of new supporters who have joined us during the year”.
We
will still meet during the close season on Mondays at 19.00 in the Tiltyard, and will as ever welcome anyone who wants to
come and join us. We will be making arrangements for next year, and naturally will be trying to contain costs consistent with
providing a reliable service – as soon as we have any information, we’ll post it on the website. We will also
be continuing to liaise with the club – especially through the forum – and will willingly consider any issues
or ideas that members wish to put forward.
Have
a really good summer, see you all next season
Jim,
Dave, Harry Nigel and Jim

5000 Day
We had a great day at the Ricoh when Coventry City thank us for taking
5,000 fans
CCFC Kenilworth Supporters have reached a major milestone in their history as they have now taken
over 5,000 Kenilworth fans to see their
beloved team play at the Ricoh Arena. The club were pleased to recognise this with the presentation of a commemorative certificate
by “Kenilworth Kid” Tim Flowers prior to the home game against Barnsley.
The group formed in 2005, when the Club relocated from Highfield Road to the Ricoh Arena
- the purpose being to offer a simple and cost-effective way for Kenilworth based supporters to the Sky Blues.
Right from the first game at The Arena, they have organised Coach travel for each home game, and some away games, also supporting
local schools by assisting with getting the next generation of Sky Blue Fans “on the right road” with coaches.
Those who travel range from young to old, and from solo to family groups, all are welcomed.
Chairman Jim Arnold was the initial driving force behind the idea, and has been joined by Committee
members Harry Bragginton, Dave and Nigel Smith and Jim Seaton. Coaches leave from Abbey End and “The Tiltyard”
Pub in Leyes Lane for every home game and can be booked online at the website www.ccfc-kenilworth-supporters.co.uk or by phone to Dave or Nigel on (01926) 855977.
The Committee would particularly like to thank Catterall’s of Southam, who have provided
great flexibility on numbers and sizes of coaches required, and The Tiltyard Pub, who not only are one of their start/drop-off
points, but who also provide the venue for the regular Monday 7.00pm Meetings (all welcome). Both have been instrumental in
helping reach this fantastic achievement.
Written by Jim Seaton
I am sure you would all like to join me on thanking Jim Seaton for sorting out the great day, which
was enjoyed by us all.
I know Jim put a lot of time and effort (and worried a lot) to make it happen, and it turned out
to be a great day for CCFC Kenilworth Supporters
Cheers Jim top job
The committee (above) would like to thank all that
have used the coach to get to the Ricoh, it is all of you that have made it possible to reach this milestone.

To mark the great start of CCFC Kenilworth Supporters last season we

the Ricoh Arena and after last season support we can only go on for seasons to come.
