Deucalion Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Damn, I was going to post this under the title, 'New Signing' !! We can't really criticise the bloke for being loyal to his football club can we? I mean, if I got a job with Forest I would still be a Leicester fan. Can we? Can we ???
davieG Posted 5 January 2014 Author Posted 5 January 2014 If the pitch looks like this next winter we'll know how seriously he takes being a cov fan over being our groundsman.
Deucalion Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 That's considered prime parkland in Coventry. I'd better be quiet, I'm going to Coventry in a few minutes to pick up a second hand wheel for a Fiat Seciento, or however you spell it.
yorkie1999 Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 What happened to Ed mowe?. He went to mow a meadow!
LCCFox96 Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 As long as he keeps the pitch in its current quality state then I don't care who he supports. Going for premier league "before thirty" - this guy might be good at his job then.

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 I would NEVER work for them tossers anyway, how ever much they were willing to pay me!!!! i bet you would, if it was good money.
FoxesAreBlue Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 i bet you would, if it was good money. I'd happily work for forest, and wear city colours every day of the week!
Stadt Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 If you were unemployed and Forest offered you a job you'd take it.
Matt Posted 5 January 2014 Posted 5 January 2014 Little? Though to be fair, there wasn't any football even when they had a team. I've heard the women's team play at the Ricoh, how true that is I don't know. Although a quick internet search says they don't.

foxes4e4 Posted 8 January 2014 Posted 8 January 2014 http://www.lcfcworld.co.uk/ledwidge-signs/ The former head groundsman of Coventry City is off to pastures new – taking on the equivalent top job at the Championship high fliers Leicester. John Ledwidge has been in charge of keeping the Ricoh Arena pitch for about four and a half years until they decided not to play there. The 28-year-old was employed as head groundsman by Coventry City FC when they were still playing at the Ricoh. It is not the first time John has left to join a rival team, his time at Coventry split with a brief stint at Aston Villa, but the groundsman insists leaving was a tough decision. John, who lives a stone’s throw away from CCFC’s former Highfield Road home, said: “It is with a heavy heart I leave this place, I have really enjoyed my time here. Well John the Grass is certainly greener on this side of the M69. He says “If you cut me in half I’d bleed Sky Blue, I will probably have a Sky Blue shirt on somewhere. But I won’t be digging any holes or growing the grass longer if they end up in the same league!…which they won’t! thanks to lcfcworld.co.uk
