For me the problem with the campaign was not that it targeted the council, I think most people accept that all sides have a share of the blame (and no, everyone doesn't need to start giving percentages again), but that it wasn't clear how they were going to achieve their aims.
I think if you said to most people, except maybe RFC, if they wanted us back at the Ricoh they would say yes so of course you will get some support running on that platform. The tricky issue is how you achieve that and that never seemed to be explained. There was talk of a manifesto and more details around the launch of the campaign but that never materialised and I think for some people that would be off putting.
The danger now is that CCC can use this result and claim they have a mandate from the Coventry public to continue their course of action and use that as justification to take a hard line stance against SISU.
Just hope that after the JR the situation gets resolved one way or the other and we can all move on and get back to talking about football.
