The entitlement comes from the fact that most fans have never adjusted to our status as a lower league club with middling support.

don't agree. The crewe JPT game shows that. We just want something to cheer and support. Starved of any success for most of our fans lifetimes

Those criticizing probably didn't attend and thus don't know everything about what the group is planning to achieve. It's not just about a march and a one game boycott. I didn't go to the meeting but my info comes from someone who did attend.

I think some people like andreasb are in fact fans from rival teams who come on here to take the piss. That can be the only logical explanation for their support of SISU.

What do people think about the idea of bringing the Jimmy Hill Legacy Fund into it?

If people are going all using Jimmy Hill then surely it is ideal to do some fundraising at the same time?

A boycott of club merchandise was suggested and any money not spent in that way should be donated to the Jimmy Hill Legacy Fund

I was planning on coming up from Portsmouth with my son for that game and certainly won't be now as I don't want to subject him to that negative experience. He just won't understand.....

Agree with what's said above, sisu are unlikely to be affected by any protest at Coventry, other than perhaps the press coverage, which is likely to be local only.

The march to the Ricoh is a good idea but don't agree with boycotting as part of protest. People wont go in if they don't want to anyway without creating a 'divide'.

Offices/financial area of London protest, as was done previously, might turn more heads in their quaters. They should be inconveniced by the protest. JS etc won't give a shite about 2-3k less supporters.

Like we said this is a multi pronged objective.
We have plans in place for London starting at Chalton.
Bringing central London to a complete stop is our first aim.

If the campaign is using Jimmy's name has anyone thought to check that his family are OK with it?

In that case would be a good idea to put that in the press releases, gives it more weight.

Campaign News

The Sky Blue Trust have said in a tweet that Jimmy Hill's widow has given permission for Jimmy's name to be used in the campaign to get the current owners of CCFC to end their interest in the club.

The meeting on Monday night which was attended by representatives from a number of supporters groups and individuals, came up with the hashtag #FightingTheJimmyHillWay for the campaign

The Sky Blue Trust have confirmed: "Pleased 2 advise that Bryony Hill widow of Jimmy has granted permission to use his name in our campaign and has given us her 100% backing.

"She has also added that if he were still alive that he would be straight to Coventry to sort this mess !"

The Crewe game proved the opposite. People will turn up if given artificially cheap tickets and a sniff of Wembley. Not league games that actually matter.

Chalton, or Charlton is some distance from Central London . Sitting in the middle of the A2 in that part of London is wholly unwise love.

I think He/She is shocked that Bryony not only gave permission, but says Jimmy was 100% behind it.

Jimmy in the eyes of some wasn't perfect ie all seats I'm not one of them by the way but no one can doubt his love for this club. I for one would like to thank Bryony for her support in this won't be forgotten
