In the 2013/14 season did more City fans go to games at NTFC or to away games?
Answer: more CCFC fans went to away games than to NTFC. Average number of Sky Blues fans at NTFC was 1591, and at away games 1635. The Sky Blue Army has been truly awesome. #Respect
What was a 'sick joke' this week?
Answer: Oliver Kay in TheTimes wrote "Coventry City have won the Football League’s family excellence award, which recognises the “outstanding experience” provided by clubs for young fans and families this season. This is the same Coventry City whose owners, the offshoot of a Mayfair hedge fund, have alienated their fanbase by relocating 35 miles to Northampton owing to a rent dispute with the local council. Family excellence? No club in English football have done more to kill the experience of families wishing to support their local team. Unless the implication is that families are better off spending their Saturdays doing something other than watching football, this seems like a particularly sick joke"
What promise did sisu make to City fans on 18 May 2013?
Answer: that a new stadium “will be designed and delivered in 3 years” www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-chief-left-ricoh-3869400
What do you call a person who makes a promise but doesn't deliver?
Answer: with sisu, that depends on how much you can afford to pay lawyers for when they take you to court!
What was announced on 8 May and will happen on Saturday 12 July 2014?
Answer: the Sky Blue Trust march and rally (http://youtu.be/1pmFldAqgzM)
"What constitutes a football club for me, more than anything it's about the fans, and when I've seen Coventry fans marching through the streets, five thousand of them I think they said, I think 'there's a football club'. Not the people that own the name" This is a quote from this week – who said it?
Answer: AFCWimbledon’s Ivor Hellor in a fantastic interview at http://vimeo.com/92082407
"There are two modalities of timing". Who said this and what does it mean?
Answer: Mark Labovitch’s explanation of why sisu have failed to pay a bill (who'd have thought it!) of £590,000. As for what Mr L means, that’s anyone’s guess! www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-official-insists-club-7087138
What opens on Monday 12 May?
Answer: a brand new shop in Coventry selling kcic t-shirts, hoodies etc – full details are at the bottom of this message.
And two questions kcic just doesn't know the answers to:
- why the tiny but noisy pro/anti acl/sisu minorities get so much attention when the overwhelmingly majority of City fans, as kcic again heard at Monday’s Earlsdon Festival, clearly take the view that acl have questions to answer, but sisu are primarily responsible, cannot be trusted and are not good for CCFC? and,
- why some people criticise the kcic strategy - of campaigning for sisu to write off their losses on the debt-laden worthless asset that is now CCFC, remember to do proper due diligence in future and hand over the Club for a fresh start with a fan-led ownership model - but they don't suggest a better strategy?
Just to remind ourselves we’re football fans not lawyers and accountants…pre season friendlies announced
Nuneaton Town (a) - Saturday, July 19th, KO 3pm
Newport County (a) - Tuesday, July 29th, KO 7.30pm (TBC)
Bristol Rovers (a) - Friday, August 1st, KO 7.45pm
Stevenage (a) – Saturday, August 2nd, KO 3pm
(more friendlies might be added)
League One season starts August 9th

I don't know, why do you?why the tiny but noisy pro/anti acl/sisu minorities get so much attention
Hilarious, this one has made me wee!
It is shocking that people would insinuate and hint at legal action because they don't like something said about them, isn't it Michael
whats up nick your precious SISU mentioned in a true way not with rose tinted glasses that you and others wear
I also like this one:

the view that acl have questions to answer
Makes it OK to send an email out clearly anti sisu but that makes it not anti sisu. It is like when you hear somebody say "I'm not racist but..." or something like that. Now, you will have your opinion and it is fine if it is Anti SISU, but you always seem to take the moral highground above these "anti" people.
Not sure when or how it suddenly became terrible to be anti-SISU and everyone got so concerned about appearing "balanced" ? Regardless of any preceding history or actions of others they have been an unmitigated disaster - particularly the lack of any positive or conciliatory action whatsoever since the move . The other factors provide some context to their shiteness that's all - not an excuse.
No, it is fine to be anti sisu, people are entitled to their opinion and of course it will be like that.
It is just when they go on and on about not beingAlso when they keep going on about how people "shouldn't be" anti or pro anybody.
What will happen now is somebody will post "Do you think SISU are good for the club?" in which most people will say "No" and that means everybody fully agrees with everything KCIC has ever said or written.

I also like this one:
I don't know, why do you?
Any chance of a substantive counter argument that addresses the key points in the mailout?
And "I don't know, why do you?" was the sort of thing my kids said when they were primary school age!
Was that the same sort of time they were making up silly jokes like kids do?
I would address the key points but I can't actually see any actual points? If you could point them out I'd be happy to reply, it just looks like a news roundup?
Just find it amazing how you are mailing out about other people with legal action and being anti SISU. Fair play to you if you are anti SISU, just embrace it rather than trying to hide it!
The best news is a new startup business in Coventry, fair play to them!
I had assumed readers would recognise that the following sentence from the mailout is an invitation to people who criticise the kcic strategy to suggest a better one - if the wording was unclear then I'm sorry: "why [do] some people criticise the kcic strategy - of campaigning for sisu to write off their losses on the debt-laden worthless asset that is now CCFC, remember to do proper due diligence in future and hand over the Club for a fresh start with a fan-led ownership model - but they don't suggest a better strategy?" You are incredibly skilled in avoiding answering questions, and I take my hat off to you for that, but all that is required here is for you to set out your suggested strategy (kcic's is only one sentence and that's all that's required). Simples!
Does Nick always have a meltdown now when someone says anything against Sisu?
Its not like they have led the club to the shittiest point in our history over the course of 6 years is it? FFS Nick have a reality check.
As to Michael and KCIC they have been by far the most active group in trying to organise and nationally publicise our situation as CCFC fans and Michael has come on here many times to put his position and indeed to encourage others to clarify theirs. Credit to him for that.
Mine is:
"Win the euromillions and go crazy!"
Hope that is better for youI put in my own strategy for you, it is just as likely to happen and I don't even need to make a slogan for it.
[serious]
If you are calling for the fans to be handed the club, I think you should also call for the fans to be handed the Ricoh. Get them both together again.
Call to be the middle man, go between ACL and SISU to get their offers and call each others bluff.
What do you propose will happen if SISU say here is the club, have it? Who will run it? Who will fund it? Who will pay the losses?
How do you propose you will make SISU hand the club over for free to the fans?
[\serious]
Avoiding questions? Ask me a question and I will answer it, happily! I am still waiting for replies on a couple of PM's sent to you months ago with questions in with no answers.
If you want serious replies, stop sending things out which people won't take seriously with awful jokes, or at least put the jokes at the bottom and the serious stuff at the top else people stop reading. Simples!
"Ask me a question and I will answer it, happily!" - ok, you are critical of kcic's strategy so what is your better strategy?
Did you read my post? I put a strategy in there?
In all seriousness, I wouldn't bother trying to get anything from SISU for free, sending out emails isn't going to make them do anything. No matter how well meaning it is, it won't go anywhere(my opinion)
City fans don't seem to be arsed, look at the petition as an example. We had over 30,000 at the Crewe game but how many can be arsed to sign a 2 minutes form online?
I don't think much will happen before the JR. My campaign at the minute would be trying to unearth as many truths as possible to find out what exactly what happened (from all sides, from the past). There is no way SISU / ACL / CCC are going to talk at the minute.
I would have a massive spade and I would be digging. I would then leak them under a false name on a website hosted in a random country where laws meant they couldn't be taken down
You say you'll happily answer a question so I ask one and your reply is to ask 2 questions! Priceless!!!
Is it me or is a quiz shit, if the answers come with the questions.
Sorry, I was still typing. Even so, you still managed to quote some bits where I answered so I am not sure what your point is? Why is it priceless?
Did I not answer the question with both a sarcastic and a serious answer?
It probably is a shit idea, but you asked what I would do
"Ask me a question and I will answer it, happily!"
You see I do admire your skills including editing your comments retrospectively! Your post goes down as the second funniest I've ever read on here, bettered only by shmme's one about only people with qualifications in statistics should be allowed to comment on the results of surveys.
Who would have thought that struggling to get thirty blokes to the steps of the council house on a Saturday would have made the shouty CCC are to blame for everything lot so aggressive towards the man who arranged one of the largest and so far most public protest (namely, the why and when campaign at Arsenal).
You'd think they'd be more concerned about the up and coming election campaign.
Or the fact I pressed submit before I had finished... It isn't hard to edit, you just press the edit button so not really a skill.
You asked a question and I gave you a reply, so what is your point?
I am a bit gutted I missed out to Schmeee but we were both dropouts of comedy schoolI also was a dropout of the spelling class where we learnt his name because without looking it up I have no idea how many ee's.
...and the winner of 'flounce of the year' goes to.....Hilarious, this one has made me wee! I like how you ask about a "Sick joke" and then follow it with a "shit joke"

would you rather be a man with a dogs head, or a dog with a mans head ?
