To try and get a bit more information I have created a survey to see what the fans want.

If you get a minute and would be interested in a scarf then please fill this out.

Thanks

Can I urge everyone not to select plain sky blue. If this is being done as a protest flag sky blue will not stand out.

Somebody has replied saying the payment one should have allowed people to select more than one, I agree but it won't let me edit it now

Extra ideas (to do with the survey) could be written down here? Still gives you an idea on thoughts.

Sure any comments are always welcome, although now people have answered there isn't that much control over the changes I can do on the poll

Answers slowly coming in, but if anybody can retweet, put it on their Facebook etc to get as much feedback as possible.

If most people want sky blue it won't work in my opinion. Happy for any other colours that are relative to CCFC like red and black or pink and navy blue.

All done. Voted for the red and green.

As for the charity, I suggested a homeless charity. Quite apt given the situation?!

Wasn't my initial first choice, but that is quite a good idea.

Also. As far as cost goes, is it worth considering an offer such as 3 for the price of 2 for example. Thinking of families here.

Do you mean 3 for the price of 2 or 2 for £3?

As it stands, the people want Red and Green simple scarves priced between 5 and 10. A lot would want to buy online but some at games with not many at a central location.

Charity wise, there was the homeless suggestion and others want local charities and a fair few something to do with children.

Is there a way to give easily to multiple charities?

Something I did a couple of years ago after we had a birthday party, and asked for donations to charity rather than gifts.

I searched on justgiving for someone who was raising funds for charity, and had a coventry connection, and shoved the money her way. I had a lovely note back thanking me, and how surprised she was to get a sudden increase of £300 towards her total...

Might be easier ways, but i liked doing it this way.

Nice thing to do, that

I am always wary when it comes to charity without knowing how much they actually get, I would much rather for a childrens charity for example do a run round Toys R Us and rock up with a car full of toys or something. Much the same as yours I guess but don't like the thought of giving money for 15% to go to the people who need it and the rest on other crap.

Had 119 replies so far but can only see 100 as it is the free version, will upgrade once it gets a lot higher as at the minute the answers (for 100 of them) are easy enough to see because of the difference.

I think that is very local and very childrens and has been suggested by name so would be a good option!

Is there anyone on here that is involved with a charity?

One other alternative is Coventry Sphinx. Know they are looking for money to help with ground improvements. Some may turn their nose up at helping another club though.

I wouldn't have much of a problem with Sphinx, but I think any contribution to football should be at grassroots level IMO.

Beginning to think this may not work as most people boycott the SISU "commercial tactics" ground so limited impact . It may work though at away games.

Not expecting anyone who goes to the SISU "commercial tactics" ground letting anything distract them from "supporting the lads".

It wouldn't just be for people who go to "home" games.

It's supposed to be something everyone can join in with whether you attend sixfields, go on the hill, just do away games or an armchair fan. It's a protest we can all get involved with without having different factions.

I voted for grassroots football, but Zoe's Place is a good shout.

Edit: And I'll be wearing it in my armchair while moaning on SBT if that helps
