Just tried to comment, said it was being moderated and has gone!
Edit: works now!
I see people have jumped on the comments already! Nice!
We all need to get behind something, but it doesn't really outline the plan of what the campaign is.
I think the comment section of the CT website is ace.
It's like a meeting place of all those who were rejected from commenting on the Daily Mail website for being to out there!
However, I'm aware people might read comments on the CCFC articles and think it's what most/all fans think, which clearly isn't the case, so obviously not ideal!

The Laws of the land state CCC are no disgrace,
The Wasps have acted perfectly legally,
unlike SISU, who are just raping us to death"
Wow.

Edit: neither the time or place.
Carry on
Intrigued about what the comment was now!
Just about certain comments on the telegraph in a similar vein to the Daily Heil.
Where does anything anywhere say WASPS have acted legally - and on what?Very interesting to note that he didn't put 'Wasps have acted perfectly morally.'
I am not sure there is any point going to meet Wasps and the Council etc. They aren't really going to turn round and say "Yeah, we are trying to screw the club hard, not even a bit of spit on the end of it" are they? they will turn on the charm and the PR. They will play the game.
The moment any sort of protest that will be mentioned that might make Wasps look bad then people will try and kill it dead straight away, we have seen it happen.
Supporting what, and who, and how?Protesting is not the answer - SUPPORTING is!
The CT article says “The Sky Blue Trust has launched the campaign, and it has the backing of the Telegraph”.
Well, where exactly is that backing? The article has already sunk way down the CT’s web page and will soon be out of sight, out of mind. I call upon the Telegraph to not merely report on the campaign but to actively support it. Starting with a leading article that puts the spotlight firmly on the moral obligations of CCC, CSF and Wasps. And as people will have noticed, I’m speaking as someone who hasn’t criticised the Council or Wasps before.
The various plans for Allard Way are just that at the moment – plans. They can be changed and improved. Maybe other sites in and around the city can be brought into the equation. In a place like Coventry it simply cannot be impossible to provide training and academy facilities for two top sports clubs, perhaps jointly. One should not be at the expense of the other, regardless of the background. Common sense needs to break out NOW. CCFC’s statement yesterday was a good start, but I hope SISU demonstrate a willingness to contribute, rather than just looking for scraps from the table. They need to become lions instead of jackals.
btw it’s stunning that this thread only has 19 posts – if it was just another episode of “Timmy vs. Ann”, it would be well into the hundreds by now
How prominent was it in the printed version of the CT today?
My only worry is to the club actually want to keep the academy?The CT article says “The Sky Blue Trust has launched the campaign, and it has the backing of the Telegraph”.
