Coventry City Former Players Association
About the AssociationThe Association was formed in December 2006 by a group of enthusiastic volunteers. At 29 March 2008 there were 124 members. The Association’s main objective is to provide a forum for former players of the club to meet and communicate whilst at the same time enable the club and the supporters to recognise its former heroes. To achieve this objective the association intends to facilitate:
Membership will be free to all former Coventry City first team players and managers. Every member will be allowed to attend home games free of charge and use a hospitality lounge before and after a match. The association plans to organise tribute dinners, golf days and events to bring together the members. Other events such as informal fans forums and reunions will be organised to enable the club’s supporters to meet and honour the members. Many of these events will be run in conjunction with the football club. The association will operate financially independent of the football club and will rely upon sponsors and fund raising to run its events. The football club however fully support the association and want to help greater recognition of the club’s history and heritage. At the outset one former player is involved in the association but it is hoped that more players will want to be involved in the running of the association. In October 2007 the association produced its first newsletter to enable members to keep abreast of news of their former colleagues. If you would like a copy please email jimrbrown@tiscali.co.uk |
