from Covmad site.....


Can anyone from Coventry City please explain why the words "FAN FAIL" kept randomly appearing on the scoreboard [Approx. every thirty seconds] in really small letters during the game with Chesterfield. What's that all about?

I saw that too, it made me really hungry. My poor eyesight led me to rush down at half time to the food kiosks, queue for an age, only to find out they looked at me with a very puzzled face when I asked for some falafel. SISU OUT!

They haven't actually put a page up with the suggestion that it's some kind of conspiracy, have they?

Either a fan had failed, or Sisu are secretly taunting the fans while also attempting mind control to stop future protests.

I know which one I believe.

Looks more like some sort of error message.

CCFC don't control the score board do they?

Noticed that too, they cordoned off seats all round the scoreboard a while back, I believe
They were having problems with fans messing with it, in fact I think I remember it being
Said someone had used it as a toilet.
So wasn't sure if this was to raise attention that someone was getting a bit to close for
Comfort, either that or to indicate the general lack of atmosphere.

Pretty obvious isn't it. Not sure why we should get onto the club as the scoreboard is ACLs responsibility.

It needs replacing, was it purchased second hand as it doesn't seem to have lasted as long as I'd expect. I had heard it was being replaced over the summer and a second scoreboard installed but that obviously never happened.

I'm glad it's not just me.

SISU are sending me messages direct through the fillings in my teeth. "Burn it down!, Burn it down!", they say.

... must.... resist....

Its a disgrace.

I went on the Club site, and saw the sections 'Training' and 'Sale' which is obviously them rubbing our noses in it that the training ground will be sold..... yadda yadda, anger, rage and indignant stamping.

Not to mention the implication in the 'Disabled Supporters Only' signs that you see that City fans are of limited intelligence to an extent that we'd be classed as 'disabled'

Coventry City have explained the "Fan Fail" comments which appeared on the scoreboard during the 2-0 win last night at thirty second intervals.

City have said: "It was an error message because the fan on the scoreboard computer was broken."

Almost as if it was a bit obvious it was an error message from the start ;)

Perhaps they were just referring to the crowd figure and that they had failed to con any more supporters into their spurious tales of ambition. Mind you pleasantly surprised to see the improving results now the old depressed looking mumbler from the North has departed.

Putting in the new seats first I believe;)
