Nothing to do with getting rid of SISU (but I suspect you knew that you little tinker 
)so to enlighten you the Press Release is below - hope that will make it clearer
10th Minute Tribute To Overturning 10 Point Deficit
On Saturday 30th November over 6250 Sky Blue fans will come together for Coventry City’s fixture at Stadium MK in Milton Keynes. This will be the largest away following for many years and shows not only the tremendous passion and love the fans have for their club but also reflects the incredible job that Steven Pressley, his coaching staff and all the players have done in overturning the 10 point deficit that the Football League imposed on the team at the start of the season. In the dark times off the pitch their performances has provided a shining light and given a glimmer of hope for the future, without this deficit we would be comfortably in the play off places.
To show their appreciation for the teams achievement to date the Sky Blue Trust is proposing that all the Coventry fans attending the match stand up together and applaud on the 10th minute of the game for one whole minute.
This gesture will be our way of saying thanks to all the playing staff for their efforts in turning what many feared would be a season of struggle into a season that promises hope. There is a long way to go in the season but Steven Pressley and his men have given the fans that one commodity that has been sadly absent from the lives of Coventry fans – hope.

We just need to keep it ticking over, reminding people that we are still here.
There is not a lot else we can do with these clowns as fans opinions or actions are ignored.
Fact is that 'Money' is there ultimate goal so starving them of it seems to be the only option. But who really knows.
You can let them get away with it and in some instances actively support them and just let things carry on as is, or you can do your little bit to keep some sort of visibility of our predicament going.

I think you've lost your way, the trust has no aims & no idea.

I think we just need to wait until after the JR to see what SISU are actually going to do before we have anything to go at
.
I would expect a visual of a new stadium as a minimum in December but in reality I expect an announcement of a new loan agreement.

Not one mention of any opposition to moving out of Coventry in trust statement, pathetic.
What a set of weak willed individuals they seem utterly afraid to upset anyone.
your very negative jack? do you have an idea as your so full of them?

You tell me what is positive about supporting the current regime who moved the club away from its fans, because that is what this stupid action is telling me.

Ah!
Wouldn't it make more sense to do it 10 minutes before kick off, seems as it was -10 and not +10?

I've been called many things, but never an accountant (although something similar once or twice

Are they supporting the current regime? I thought half the point of going to away games was not to make a political statement as such, but to support the team, the manager, the players... all of which haven't moved the club anymorethan we have.
In among that, supporting them is not supporting the regime is it? Anymore than saying SISU are a bit shit doesn't stop you being critical of actions surrounding ACL/council, and being critical of actions surrounding them doesn't automatically make you pro-SISU.

I explained that above, they are offering tacit support to the clubs move to Northampton by the total omission of any statement indicating that the club should never have been moved out of Coventry..
The fans never wanted that or accepted it & continue to show their opposition by the majority not going to Sixfields, but to the outsider this needs explaining every time..

I'll clap the goal, (as long as we're already 4-0 up
After 10 minutes you expect us to be 4 up

This season - anything's possible - and if they make it 4-1 in the 10th minute, I'd probably take the draw

We organised an event that attracted somewhere in the region of eight thousand people marching through the City to show the fanbase's feelings towards the move.
As for upsetting anyone we have to be down the middle. We can't be setting fire to cars outside the Council house and Red Place one minute & the next be on the phone to Joy and Anne asking them to talk to each other!

No thanks... Would rather skin myself then roll around in sea salt than help the trust
Can I ask why you would make such a statement?

Clever move by the trust they are getting almost as bad as the CET.
Let me first say i haven't got a problem with clapping the team, but i do have a problem with the SBT hijacking 6'000 ccfc fans and claiming the credit for their own benefit !!!!!

You're right John. As all City fans think exactly the same thoughts at exactly the same time I guess everyone would just decide to do it anyway without any previous instruction or communication.

Yeah the march is one of the things the organisers of it should be rightly proud of.
Although admittedly the numbers attending are starting to read rather like Michael Doyle's salary estimates

It was between 7 and 8. It's been reported by so many different outlets at varying numbers so that's confused things some what. I can assure you I wouldn't say 7-8000 (if we did well) when I actually mean 2-3000
