    Onye Meeting London Supporters

    Jeez ccfcway - nearly had a heart attack when I read you suggesting I was taking over the club - that was supposed to be confidential! I have even had headed note paper printed and polished by £1 coin.

    Boycott the ricoh, new protest until sisu out

    Under no circumstances would SOC condone in any way shape or form the abuse of any Coventry fan by another. If someone wants to go to a game then that is their right and it is to be respected, just as should someone decide to boycott a match then I would expect the same respect to be...

    i'M BORED WITH COV CITY

    I wonder who has it worse: Older fans who can remember the heights we once reached, Cup winners, European competition, regular top flight games but now seeing us reduced to a pathetic shadow of what we were or the Younger ones for whom the pinnacle of their supporting days is an away win at...

    Still no new faces

    Lets be realistic no one is coming in until someone goes out. No one gone out yet so we are stuck with what we have - oh goody.

    £10 for Adults £1 for kids to fill stadium

    Sub - I sympathise fully with the keep funds away from SISU argument and I know some who won't set into the stadium until SISU are gone. I am looking at this as a pro team issue not anti SISU. For me, personally, the boycott and protest on Saturday weren't about starving SISU of money but about...

    £10 for Adults £1 for kids to fill stadium

    I totally agree that Marketing would be the key, not the clubs strong point in recent years, but SOC did a pretty good job of marketing the protest in a couple of weeks so it shows these things can be done. What the next move from SOC will be will be decided on Thursdays meeting at Hen Lane...

    £10 for Adults £1 for kids to fill stadium

    No just exploring ideas for now for discussions. Even when this lot have gone we will need to fill stadium and that won't happen just cos SISU have left town.

    Just exploring possibility and general feeling about it - not a campaign just yet!

    £10 for Adults £1 for kids to fill stadium

    I did put the caveat of marketing it properly - I realise that would be a first for this club but I can dream! We have shown with the protest that local media will get behind things associated with the club and I am just exploring avenues that would support the team and try and help avoid the...

    £10 for Adults £1 for kids to fill stadium

    Then sell it as a "Back the Boys In Their Darkest Hour" type of thing - get marketing it as together we can avoid relegation - stand shoulder to shoulder etc. Make it an event, siege mentality, us against the world - people of Cov like a battle against the odds.

    £10 for Adults £1 for kids to fill stadium

    My respect for the commercial dept of Coventry is somewhat limited but lets assume they are correct. What are the biggest barriers? Lets list them and see if we can try and address them.

    £10 for Adults £1 for kids to fill stadium

    If the club dropped ticket prices to £10 for adults and £1 for kids how many extra fans would we get on top of the 9000 season ticket holders? Would it help fill the Ricoh or are the people of Cov so fed up with the club they wouldn't bother and we would still just get a home support of 11,000...

    Would SISU accept a £4m bid for the club?

    Godiva - you make some valid points but one other that should be factored into the mix is that if/when we get relegated costs will have to be slashed to meet the shortfall in revenue. This means cutting the playing staff - however as you point out the FIFA Fair Play rules will be coming into...

    The board's view of Thorn

    Who is the board this week? Doubt if they even know who AT is let alone have an opinion on him as a manager. Only a matter of time before we are offered an opportunity to text in to a premium number to Yes - Keep AT or No - Sack AT

    Save Our City

    Roger - I agree 100% that we should be more than just an anti SISU group and I will be voicing my opinion on the direction the group should take on Thursday. I want us to be a true voice for the fans so that any owners, present or future, take the fans seriously and that the club becomes...

    Save Our City

    WEA - personally I quite like the idea in principle but would not back it simply because it would just take one idiot to throw not a toilet roll but say a lighter or golf ball. The press would pick up on that one act and would brand us all as mindless hooligans and remove any legitimacy from our...

    Save Our City

    It is one idea - if you think it should be every one then I will put that to the meeting - that is why I am asking for ideas. Reading was picked as traditionally its one we don't take huge numbers to, its a four weeks away so we can get the message out etc. We are talking about organising it...

    Save Our City

    Many thanks to all those who turned up and behaved noisily, good naturedly, respectfully and peacefully. As people seem obsessed by numbers then the best I can offer is that in discussions with the police after the game they estimated that at its peak we had around 500 there, they also...
