Coventry Round-Up, Tuesday 3rd November: City Fans Rally with Apology After Bradley Lowery Taunt, as Lampard and King Look to the Future
A difficult few days off the pitch has dominated the agenda today. Police are investigating an incident at Saturday's Premier League match against Sunderland after a shameful taunt aimed at the memory of Bradley Lowery, and a boy has now been arrested in connection with it, according to the BBC (BBC Sport). In response, a local Coventry family have launched a fundraising apology, with City fans rallying together to say "we're sorry" for what happened at the game, as reported by CoventryLive (CoventryLive).
On the pitch, there's a more positive mood among supporters. CoventryLive report that pundit Danny Murphy has noted a change in Coventry since Frank Lampard's response to the club being "zapped," with the Sky Blues currently sitting 16th in the Premier League and having won three of their last five matches (CoventryLive).
Jack Rudoni has been speaking about his rise to the top flight, joking that Lampard "probably gets fed up" with a question he always asks him, while insisting he always believed he'd make it in the Premier League (CoventryLive) (talkSPORT). It's a nice feel-good story at a club enjoying life among the big boys.
Off the pitch, owner Doug King has been setting out his vision for the club's future, revealing a £300m revenue target as he looks to firmly establish Coventry City in the Premier League and discusses his approach to investment (CoventryLive).
Looking ahead, Lampard faces what's been described as a "difficult" decision ahead of Friday night's trip to Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, according to CoventryLive (CoventryLive).
Fans are also being reminded that voting is now open for October's Player of the Month, with the club inviting supporters to have their say on who impressed most last month (CCFC.co.uk).
