Supporters’ Code of Conduct

Following an incident at the recent away game to Rotherham on 19 January 2008, in which a complaint was received by CRSC regarding the behaviour of a Coventry supporter, we would like to remind our members that we fully support the RFU Code of Conduct to which all Clubs, Players and Supporters are expected to adhere. Full details of the code can be found here.

In particular, we would expect our members;

1. not to use abusive or crude language or gestures towards any player, all match officials or fellow spectators - home or away;
2. to be aware that there are likely to be younger supporters around them at games and moderate their behaviour and language accordingly;
3. not to say anything which is likely to intimidate, offend, insult, humiliate or discriminate against any other person on account of their religion, race, colour or national or ethnic origin.

Coventry Rugby Supporters’ Club (CRSC)

CRSC is an independent association, managed by an elected committee, working to promote the interests of fans, and to support Coventry Rugby Football Club.

Part of our work, involves running coaches to the away games, but CRSC is not just a ‘travel’ club, it is also a social club that tries to foster good relationships and build friendships between like-minded fans, and supporters and CRFC.

As part of our vision to build relationships, we are keen to hear your views and ideas for CRSC. These may be suggestions on how we could improve communication with you, the supporters or ways in which we could help support the Club, and the wider rugby community. They could also include any events or gatherings you would like to see us hold, or ways in which we could include children and get them more involved in CRSC. We are representative of everyone, and it is your ideas and knowledge that will help us to be successful.

Membership provides you with a number of benefits. There is a reduction on the cost of coach travel to away games for members who save on average £3.00 per trip. Subject to popularity, we also hope to be able to hold exclusive, ‘members only’ events throughout the season and your membership fee will help support this activity. We are also looking at ways in which we can help support the Club either through the sponsorship of a match day ball or something else. Membership also entitles you to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

Details on how to sign up for the Supporters’ Club for next year, will follow in due course, and information will be posted out to existing members in advance.
