It seems like a random piece, and even more so random timing, to be covered on Radio One?

All I can think is that there is a Coventry fan somewhere in the top levels of management or something bigger is coming and this is the prelude? Albeit the latter is the tiny bit of optimism I have left coming through....

Not a bad article, but it say's that we've stopped several games due to our protests, which is basically a lie. We've only stopped one game.

I'm not too sure why they emphasise on the attendance for a checkatrade game so much.

The way that Fisher says "Hello, Timothy Fisher". That needs to be a sound clip that can be used like animated gifs.

I think it could have been a lot worse for SISU to be honest with the reach it had.

From the average Joe listening to Radio 1 on his newsbeat it sounds like the only problem is lack of communication.

Should really contact the BBC and demand a retraction.

Bit odd, would have been better to say attendances were reaching 26K for games the season SISU turned up now they're down to 8K or something along those lines. Using the JPT attendance is one of those things that gives Fisher an easy out.

It even says about the whistle causing a goal.

What should have been done is to ask Fisher how he plans to turn it round.. I know it's time limited though.

Reid (SISU using comical Ali) will say it's it's the fans fault why Radio 1 did what they did.
Which has now put off potential investors and put off CRFC.
More cuts will now be needed.
Bad fans

No, you're thinking of newsround. Newsbeat is the main news program on Radio 1

Someone at work said Simon Jordan was on talksport with Jim White this morning I think.
Their take was tha he said he had funding or backing and had asked the question but got a negative that they're not ready to sell/go yet.
Apologies if this has been mentioned in another thread or elsewhere but couldn't see anything in thread titles.

Just listened to it, some good coverage. Any publicity as they say....

Would have been good to highlight the drop in league attendances, and that SISU took us to Sixfields.

Also, no mention of Wasps, but R1 probably wouldn't want to upset their targeted audience of London.

You think talk of wasps would 'upset" London.

That's my point.

Londoners view London as England, everywhere else is either greater England or foreign.

This is a national piece though, too everyone outside Coventry who reads this article in passing they will just see the attendance figure and think blimey things have got to shit at Coventry. Majority aren't really gonna care enough to go and see which cup the match was in, or to compare that to the league season attendances.

Sure Fisher can defend it by saying it was the JPT, but without the platform to reach nation wide that message will never reach the 1000s of readers who read the article from outside of Coventry.

The good thing about it being on radio one and on newsbeat how much of their target audience would have been aware that Coventry were once a mainstay of the premier league? How many of their target audience were even alive when we won the FA cup? It's possible that a generation has just been educated in how far we've fallen. Can't hurt anyway.

No I'm thinking of newsbeat.

Radio One is a kids station.

Newsbeat provides the daily news for schools.

Wrong. average age of listeners a couple of years ago was 32. Irrelevant anyway, the more people made aware of our dire situation the better.

TF contends that Sisu care about the fans. In that case, I dread to think what relations between Sisu and the fans would be like if they didn't care.
