Richard Keys has 187k followers on twitter, loads of those will be cov fans, getting him to post it and support it will help it gather momentum

Just tweeted some famous coventry people to promote the petition, including Neil Back... and strangely, Willie Thorn has retweeted. Is he a Sky Blue?!

It's not been well received.

It makes for great reading, I know its childish but I'm tempted to post multiple threads on the Sunderland board about the petition asking them to sign it.

Can I send you a paper petition?

It is not possible to include a paper petition as part of reaching the threshold of 100 000 signatures to make a petition eligible for debate in the House of Commons. This is because paper petitions do not allow the Government to verify signatures to the same degree as with e-petitions.

The e-petitions system is not intended to replace the current paper based system of public petitions in the House of Commons. For more information about the paper based Parliamentary Petitions, you can visit the UK Parliament website. The Backbench Business Committee, who are responsible for the scheduling of any debates on e-petitions, have made clear that they will continue to consider paper petitions when choosing subjects for debates.

Closeor press 'escape' to close

I got this off the parliament website, might be too late but wouldn't it be worth it seeing if we could start a paper petition, it says it might be considered ? Nothing to lose by asking ? And a lot easier to get signed

Great stuff everyone! Paper petitions go through a different route. If we can start to get big numbers on the epetition a paper one could be done as an addition but at the moment it would just confuse things so need to keep hammering away on the epetition first - we're at 9,715 which is phenomenal in one week and it's still trending

Just an idea, great effort Michael, should be a lot more though, if all the fans that cared to go to the Crewe game in the jpt signed it and passed it on to two people we wouldn't be far off, it's that easy, just hope enough people care to sign it. Keep it going

When I get 5 minutes I'll drop some of the lower league non league clubs on who have high average attendances comparable with conference teams. (Teams like Maidstone United, FC Utd, Guernsey FC, etc..)

Good work all. Michael I may be interested for the 15th but cannot confirm yet due to family commitments but if you get a few together keep me posted.

As for Coventry and the local area, it's got to reach more than fans, both regulars and casual, but people who just live in Cov and Warks.

I think at the moment, the petition is only reaching the hardcore football/Coventry fans and not the casual fans.

Well one isn't. The general consensus seems to be that jimmy hills death will be a day of partying in Sunderland and I am not exaggerating. I am geniunely surprised I thought the majority would not be that hostile.

I remember them flooding here when we got relegated. I don't mind a bit of banter but when people are wishing someone would die because of the result of a football match it's going too far.

I don't live locally Michael, otherwise I'd be there. Gents, this could add a couple of thousand signatures to the petition...please support Michael with this!

I've signed it and am happy to post on all our forums if you haven't already done so. By the way, I wasn't there today but our commentator was very impressed with your protest (perhaps not the man on the pitch!).

I read Joy Seppala's statement earlier this week. Just incredible. I hope every single council nearby refuses them planning permission.

The video of the Bristol City game brings back memories of the suspense of he night. The delay in kick off was a rare occurrence but given that there were hold-ups on motorways, traffic congestion etc it was to be expected.

I've Tweeted the Sunday politics show asking if they would cover it. They've replied asking me to give them an update mid-week, and will try to cover it next week. Hope you don't mind Michael?
