Strike Factory

It is understood that a US Firm wants to buy Strike Factory for about £1 million pounds, the unnamed buyer sees a lot of hidden potentinal in the website and venture. It is uncertain if Charles will remain the sole blogger on the site. More details to come soon.

Due to being busy jobhunting, and losing this computer soon. I would like to announce that Strike Factory, will not be updating this website in the meantime, but I will keep it up for past memorys, who knows when I have a better PC, I might be able to produce a better site. Remember Remember.

Thanks for the memories

4 February 2006

Venue: Ricoh Arena, Coventry, Warwickshire (though W.Midlands to goverment), England, United Kingdom

Mode of transport: Got a lift on the Roguemobile, getting to Covvers, via the A23, M23, M25, and the M1 parking at the nearby town of Bedworth for the 20 minute walk through a posh rural suburb and a dodgy looking estate to get to the ground

Pre match drinks: At a nice pub with mostly Albion in Bedworth

ISF members present at game: All members of the ISF including new member Bakesy were present at the game.

Review of Coventry: Did not see a great deal of Coventry and did not go the the city centre, but u must bear in mind that during World War II, sadly a lot of the old city was bombed. not much of it exists, I walked through what seemed a nice old suburb, and then a dodgy looking indrustrial estate, the new ground and leisure park were impressive, and locals seemed ok 6/10

Review of Coventrys ground: A great new ground, looks impressive on the outside and the inside, atmosherpe was good inside, acoustics were good, shame a small group of idiots decided to throw bottles at us, all in all good day out bar the result. 8/10

Review of food: Food was OK but nothing to exciting, a bit dear, 6/10,

Price: The price was fair for what u got not bad but only a pound less than Withers 7.5/10

Friendlyness of locals: Some locals I met in nearby Bedworth and Coventry seemed friendly and helpful, but there seemed to be a small group, that enjoyed throwing bottles at away fans 7.5/10

Overall 7/10 Not a bad place for a away game with a few reasonable boozers, a nice ground and most locals being bit of a mix, it was nice to visit a new ground, just a shame about the result.
