NOPM is suggesting the best way to protest is to protest outside Joy's office -- they alledge she hates that, plus target SISU investors with emails and letters. Any thoughts ?

I'm not sure that it would be easy to find out who Sisu's investors are, VOR. If JS hates protests outside her office, then that would be a good place to start.

SISU are more likley to be annoyed by protests at their office than by anything at a match. The best route would be to get coverage in the FT and highlight their bad investment.

Any "protest" that involves writing strongly worded letters & emails is, quite frankly, a wanky load of time-wasting toss.....

.....If you find Joys office, you have my wholehearted support should you decide to egg the fucker, but spamming people who clearly couldn't give a shiny shit is like Le*cester FC in February......COMPLETELY POINTLESS !!

Hannover Street, London is the only place worth taking a protest to and even then as long as they { SISU} comply with FL rules etc they will only leave in their own time and not be pressured by anyone I should think. Whilst Coventry City has been a big part of peoples lives in the vicinity here, in terms of the big world of money, it's all small beer and only a small part of a portfolio of the hedge fund's activity. For all we know, the investors themselves could have their cash spread across a range of investments, some of which are probably doing really well, meaning the loss making at CCFC is not that detrimental to their overall package. In other words to the uncaring cretins at SISU HQ we are unimportant, unless giving them adverse publicity.

The thing with these protests, there's only been two that have really been noteworthy...the two whilst we were in Northampton...both getting about 7k each if I remember?

Wasn't there others including protesting outside SISUs London HQ, the FL HQ and the Council offices? Not one to pee on your fireworks before you've lit them but our apathy only seems to diminish if we're in Northampton.

Think about 6 turned up for the first one there, not so much a protest as a post office queue.

The best way to protest is not go IMO. It a spectator sport...& like anything else, if youre getting nothing but grief from or because of it - change it!
Spend your money & time doing something more entertaining or useful.

I love the way some have started having a go at the London protests when the outraged local keyboard heroes on here couldn't even be arsed to join the likes of LAST and BHSB at their local council house to protest about the Wasps takeover of ACL as the councillor's were going into the meeting to approve it. I guess their heating was on and their computer chair is to comfy to get them to leave their keyboards. Still as long as they're slating anyone actually trying to do something while not doing anything themselves it will all come in the end. All hail the all conquering keyboard heroes.

Again, the same one that was re arranged that morning or late the night before when most people thought it was before the game that night?

Probably nothing to do with their heating, more to do with probably not being able to get out of work for the day with an hours notice.

Amazing that people fail to mention that.

Personally, I will never criticize anyone who actually does something whether I agree with it or not. At the very least they are doing something and not nothing.

Do we really? She is very camera evasive...
I have seen a photo supposedly of her?
When as our owner was she last at a forum or sat in the CWR studio so we could ask her important questions?

I agree. nobody has a definitive answer to the SISU problem. So all we can do is keep making noise and cause erosion. Hopefully this will eventually have an effect. Whether that is SISU buck up and find the right person with the right plan to turn us around or they move over and let someone else have a go.

CCFC must be one unique club,no supporters who are pensioners,who work shifts,who don't work,who are at uni or college,can get off from work at short notice,who never take a sickie,who actually give a fuck. However if a new building was going to disturb a colony of one eyed two tailed three legged yellow grasshoppers there would be thousands protesting.
