Hats off to those who are marching, though if it's publicity they want beyond the CET I don't think it's the best way. If the Charlton and Coventry fans had decided simply to sit the game out at the Valley and not go in it would have gone unnoticed. We should get behind the team and vent our anger at our owners by getting into the stadium early and refuse to leave the ground for half an hour after the game and make a protest either side of kick off .

I can't make the march. What time at Jimmy Jill's statue? Any timings for that?

Sadly you're right about the lack of attention.
But this protest thing needs to be a procession of things happening. The one at Charlton was good, this Saturday could've been good if it was billed as a total boycott for one game to protest outside with the next home game being filled out to capacity with protests going on inside. The next one could be fancy dress and then the next one something like everyone who has kids to bring them to show about the academy and get the kids to make loads of noise in the ground. This shouldn't be fragmented but a continuation of things.
Everyone knows that a one game boycott will not hurt Sisu or the club in isolation.

while it's almost inevitable that the protest at the Valley will have got more publicity than the march/boycott tomorrow I don't think that's a reason not to do it.
Hopefully last week and tomorrow will be the start of an on-going constructive campaign against the situation at the club.

Yep, have mentioned about fancy dress before. Something the kids could be involved in, lighty up toys and all sorts. It could be sending a statement (I dont know, zombies) without having a 5 year old shouting SISU out or on a march.
Even if it is things that probably won't change a thing, other than a bit of fan unity.

All those bloody clown masks could be put to good use. Sapalla/ sepalla/ seppalla (whatever) zombie masks for everyone to wear.

Scenes in the family zone:
Scenes outside the Ricoh:
Again, probably won't do anything in getting SISU out, but it would be entertaining.
Have a best costume prize for the kids and all sorts.

Sadly you will never get a total boycott for one game or a sell out.
We could buy all the tickets give them out free how many takers would you get.
Can't give my one season ticket away when I can't go........
Really Really sad

As said, if it was to make a statement it would be everybody turn up to pay on the gate for a cup game at 2.55 to hold the game up

There are plenty of suggestions going around enough for every game.
However the throwing of objects on the pitch will be a non starter.

Damn, even the pound shop dildos?
What about projecting messages onto the Ricoh from the road? Again, probably wont do anything, but would look good at night.
Perfect, would be good if those protesting outside can keep it quiet aswell, might be able to concentrate on a game for once without kids and troublemakers being there

What trouble makers would that be?
Thugs marching through the streets of Coventry looking for a fight

Yawn, no need really is there? I don't agree with a lot of it, but that's a bit silly.
As long as people aren't dicks either way it will be fine.

Obviously he knows more than anybody else if something does happen I will be alerting the authorities to his post because he obviously has prior knowledge.

I'd hope a lot of people will be keeping it peaceful, after all if it isn't it only tars everybody there with the same brush doesn't it? It is in the organiser's interest to make sure of it.
I'll sit on here all day hammer a lot of the people involved about their views on it all, and I don't doubt there will be a bit of silliness from both boycotters and people going in but to say it is looking for a fight is a bit OTT.
There probably will be a few knobheads, but I'd hope they get told to shut up.

sounds to me like some people will be disappointed if it all passes off peacefully.

If the next court case is in January and its very very likely the only reason they are still here is the outcome, all the publicity we can get would be fantastic if the people making the decision get to see what a state we are in. Where is it being heard and what can we collectively do to highlight what lovely cuddly owners we have. We need to make as much publicity as we can so its known by everyone that our club under their stewardship is on the brink.
Ill be in the ground drinking a £5 pint of warm beer, Ill have an alibi, what will yours be?

Surely to draw more attention to the March/boycott fancy dress or something catchy ie spontaneous dancing along the way?
