Hill Backs Academy Campaign
Last updated : 27 July 2005 By Covsupport
Jimmy Hill today backed the Save The Academy campaign. He told the club website: "I had George Curtis as my captain at the age of just 21 and he made his debut when he was 16 before I was manager," he recalls. "And another of the most influential players in my side was Ronnie Rees who made his first appearance when he was just 17.
"There is a lot to be said for bringing through your own players and it is perhaps even more important now than it was back then. "That is why I would urge any supporter who is able to contribute money to do so. The Club is obviously in financial trouble and any assistance from the fans would be extremely welcome."
For 100 pounds, fans will get a voucher entitling them to four match tickets per season, but there will also be a number of other options available for both supporters and corporate investors.
Please note the scheme will be administered by the Sky Blue Trust not Coventry City FC or any of its Holding companies.
Cheques should be made payable to SBT-ACADEMY and should be sent to: The Sky Blue Trust, P.O Box 3336, Coventry, CV2 5YS.
