It is becoming tiring listening to the same old arguments defending ACL and the council implying children will not be able to eat and the local charity will suffer.
The only people who are suffering are the supporter. Most football fans would take the clubs side. I was in Leeds the other day and a supporter was saying he couldn't believe how the council was treating the football club.
So are the Coventry supporters unique in their benevolence and morality? Of course not. It is the blind hatred towards them which has distorted their reality. Grown men cry at the mention of the name and others berate them and want them hounded out of town. They see the devil, they need to be driven away.
Now of course we could have a moral consciousness. Then I cast my mind back. Did I see jack griffin bang the door down at Southampton urging them to wind is up, was Ashdown investigate how much was owed to the local coach company concerned of it affected jobs, was sky blue John ranting "we pay our taxes why don't the club"!
No of course not they were silent because then we had the nice faces of mr Coventry and the rather eccentric chap from somewhere up North. They were all right you see, they cared, they bled sky blue (for more than 1 day). So then we turned a blind eye we were normal fans.
Now this is not so. The council and ACL have a lot to answer for the arrangement is crippling. However sisu will never and can never do right.
Best they leave town. Then all the moralists have had there day. They can celebrate. Sadly they won't be celebrating a Coventry performance ever again. Still at least the children get fed at night and the local charity can sleep easily.
