As someone who has followed CCFC for 62 years IN COVENTRY and now aged 71 I will do everything possible to persuade CCFC to remain in Coventry -- that's why I am so tenacious in promoting this petition. KEEP IT GOING !
The Southampton fans are now starting to help out too.

I genuinely have all the time in the world for The Saints. They really have been supportive of our plight. From the SISU Out banner in their end during the FA Cup Clash to the SISU Out banner on the pitch during their celebratory promotion pitch invasion.
It was so close to being them in this situation and stuck with this lot. I hope we'd be as accommodating and supportive had it been the other way round.
Of course if I was going to nit pick though, the least they could do is loan Danny Fox back!!

Good man...have a soft spot for Walsall myself.Have signed myself and have rounded up a number of Saddlers to sign for you as well.
No probs. We might all enjoy a bit a banter between fans of different clubs but underneath that if you are a true football fan there are things that bind us all together and a sense of what's right and justice for other fans is one of them. Any one who's been a Saddler for any length of time will remember how we had to fight to keep our team in our town.
Coventry city belongs to the people of Coventry and therefore belongs in Coventry. This is the one truth that surpasses all other arguments about who's right, who's wrong, what will bring success, what won't. But you must fight for it, put this first all other issues will be resolved one way or another but once you move it could be for longer than you think. Rules about it being short term tend to get bent for the confidence of the situation at the time in the future.
Forgive my ignorance WFC, but what happened at Walsall so that you had to fight to keep the team in the town?
30,000 for the JPT semi, 6000 signatures to stop the team being taken out of there home city. LETS BE AVIN YOU !!!!!!!!!
There's a long history behind it including using WFC to financially prop up Blues at one stage who were in extreme danger of going bust. Basically there was a plan to get us to ground share with Blues in 1986 which was ultimately stopped by a mass fans movement fighting against it, a number of the key fans involved ending up as part of the new management for the club, e.g our commercial director who has just retired last week.
If you look us up on wikipedia the story is in the history section on there. Might be interesting for you as it also contains a cautionary tales about multimillionaire shining knights in armor.
There was also an earlier attempt to move us to Wolves. See link below.

If you read the full story in the link above, the interesting thing for you will be that it was ultimately the fan power pressure that basically embaressed the Football League into blocking the move away from Walsall.
has this gone on the sheff wed site???
Why thank you. Good to know there are fans who care enough to sign the petition.

As a Saints fan have signed your petition and trust me if we had our way we would drive Danny fox to your ground. Alright a bit harsh on the guy as he always tries hard but out of his depth in the Premiership. Suspect Aaron martin will be released this summer and would be a great signing on a free for you guys, Danny will be free as well but will want to much money I'm afraid.
By the way ignore the odd numpty on our site, every club has them, vast majority of saints fans have a lot of sympathy for you guys and aside from the clowns you have running the club at the moment see you as a decent club who deserve better.
Won't ever forget the way your fans treated us last April, from the folks carrying 'SISU Out' banners to our end and applauding us, to the half dozen Saints fans who spent the whole train ride back reminiscing about the PL and wanting us back up with them.
A class act, the lot of you.
Well... I thought that too... Until I read the badmouthing of Danny Fox!!!
