Can anyone tell me about the ticketing for the Rushden and Diamonds game? How many Cov fans will be there - i.e. will I be able to just go there and pay on the gate? Will I have to queue for tickets on the day? Can I order them? Do I HAVE to order them?

Really annoying this. I've been to the official CCFC site, The Sky Blue Superplex, GMK Online and the official R&Ds website and none of them even mention it. The official Diamonds website does not mention anything at the match at all, despite the coverage they've had on previous friendlies.

Have I missed something here?

Have you tried ringing Rushden & Diamonds ground? [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG]

Only a week to go

If as expected Thompson leaves Delorge will be our first choice right-sided midfielder and I think he is already a key member of Cov's team

Coventry City Council has been accused of moving the goalposts over the plan for the Sky Blues' new super stadium.

The claim came from Nuneaton and Bedworth borough councillors who were discussing changes to the original proposals.

They are angry at the way Coventry City Council has handled the moves.

Their fears for the viability of Bedworth town centre increased when they found that the town's Tesco could now close within five years, instead of the seven they had been told.

The chain plans to open a massive Tesco Extra store on the Foleshill Gasworks site, which will also include the stadium and a minimum of 10 associated small retail, service and community units.

Chairman of the planning applications committee, Cllr Bill Hancox (Lab, Poplar), told the meeting: "There has been little or no consultation with this authority, and meetings were altered at the last minute.

"Originally it was said the retail element would not be built until the arena was completely or substantially built, that was what we agreed to.

"Now that's being shifted and I can see the arena never being built and we'll end up with an outof-town complex as big as Bedworth town centre.

The committee agreed not to raise objections to variations to planning conditions - including the removal of both the sliding pitch and roof.

But they voted to voice strong concerns about changes to the legal agreement that do not tie the development to the arena, and vary the time period for Tesco to continue in Bedworth.

Coventry boss Gary McAllister is set to take goalkeeper Steve Banks on trial from Bolton, following an injury to Frenchman Fabien Audard.
Audard is currently on trial at Highfield Road and was supposed to play in Tuesday's friendly with Port Vale, but missed out with a shoulder injury.
McAllister has now turned his attention to 30-year-old Trotters shot-stopper Banks, who he hopes will provide stiff competition for Audard, before making a final decision on which keeper to sign.
Audard is expected to be fit for Saturday's trip to Rushden & Diamonds for The Sky Blues' final pre-season friendly clash before kicking off the new campaign.
Banks, who has not had a look in at the Reebok Stadium under Sam Allardyce, made just one Premiership appearance last season but could be in line for a place on the bench at Rushden.
City will be left with the inexperience of Morten Hyldgaard and Gary Montgomery when Magnus Hedman's transfer to Celtic is finally sealed, which is why McAllister is anxious to bring in a new goalkeeper

Knowing our transfer credentials we would probably sign Gordon Banks!

Bolton custodian Steve Banks is training with the Sky Blues indefinitely, following the departure of other trialist Fabian Audard, who has returned to Sporting Club de Bastia.

The Frenchman got injured the day before the match with Port Vale but with cover for Hedman needed immediately, he has returned home.
