Getting support for our plight at Arsenal - the plan

The Arsenal game offers a brilliant opportunity to get support for our plight so here's the plan.



  • On 35 mins – hold up signs saying ‘WHY’ and sing: ‘I wanna go home, I wanna go home, Back to the Ricoh, the Ricoh’s our home’ (The link is we’re playing 35 miles from home and they question is 'Why has the mess we're in been allowed to happen, and why aren't we playing in Coventry where we belong')
  • On 61 mins – hold up signs saying ‘WHEN’ and sing the Sky Blue song (The link is Jimmy Hill became manager in 1961 and wrote the Sky Blue song containing the lines 'Let's all sing together' and ‘We’ll fight till the game is won’ which is what fans need do to get us back to Coventry. The 'When' means 'when will this madness end and we return to our home')

BTsport are very interested in the idea and the media will be briefed so they understand and can explain what's going on. Arsenal fans are being really helpful and we're even going to have an item in the match day programme.


But for this to work it needs people to be up for it and some specific help is needed
- remember, kcic has no money, no committee and relies solely on the efforts of individual City fans. We've managed to get 2,500 A4 sheets of paper with Why/When printed on (double-sided) but obviously need another couple of thousand so is anyone able to run off some copies? And we really need people to help hand them out at the Emirates. So please email keepcovincov@gmail.com if you can help. We had hoped to call at sisu and the Football League before the match but the logistics were impossible so we're going to focus entirely on the Emirates.

I don't often swear or be abusive on forums.

But, why don't you just fuck off!

You are a complete idiot,IMHO

I am not a violent person, seldom get angry, but you make me feel that if I ever met you, your lights would be put out.

I think this is the sort of thing everyone can buy into and it creates a talking point. Seems a good idea to me.

I think we should open a book on the why/when idea but we need to sort odds first. So what prices should be put on the why/when signs:

- being held up by the majority of fans, being screened by BTsport and gaining national support for our plight
- being held up by a few people but majority don't and BTsport ignore it
- by 35 mins we are winning 3-0 and everyone is so deliriously happy the whole thing gets overlooked
- the why/when-ers are accused of being pro/anti acl/sisu and a rival who/what campaign is launched

Has it been clarified exactly when people are holding up cards? Like is it when it says "34" on the scoreboard or "35"?

Your the embarrassment and all the people like you. Coventry is a proud and resilient City. Shame on you for being weak and waving the white flag. True Coventry people stand and fight when others try and take away what is the rightfully theirs!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! If people can spare an extra 10 minutes by getting to the ground slightly early to help set up and hand out the why/when signs it would be fantastic! The more help we have the greater chance of this being a success!

We may all have differing opinions on where the blame lies in this terrible mess but ultimately we are all united in wanting our club back where it belongs! This will help raise awareness to the terrible failings of all parties involved!

Yes but surely you appreciate 5000 signs is a lot for just a handful of people so the more people who can help set up the better!

Good work Michael and Co. Do need to clarify the 35 minute thing though, otherwise you will have some people doing things at different times. And what time are you getting to the FL and SISU offices as I'll be going by car and not on the coaches.

Great idea Michael, won't be there, but will enjoy watching it on the box. I know you get some stick, but your efforts and passion are appreciated by the majority, fair play to you mate.

Cheers - the logistics of doing sisu, fl and emirates were proving a nightmare so we're going to focus solely on the emirates. Any chance you could send your email address to me at keepcovincov@gmail.com please - then I can send you full details of pre kick off meet up.
