Have the big media outlets been informed and attending the march this weekend?
Last year unfortunately there was very poor coverage.

Just heard that Central will be sending camera crew and reporter down to cover the march. We are lobbying Sky and hopefully they and BBC will do likewise
(With respect) Does it matter?
In a nutshell - Yes- otherwise who is going to see what we are doing on Saturday apart from people in town shopping on the day???
Well yes I agree but the only ones who can bring us home are sisu and in particular Joy seppala. If she doesn't want to then forget it.
Don't get me wrong the march is great for Coventry pride and support but I just think it misleads some into thinking it will make a difference to bringing us home.
Well, the more national coverage it gets, the more of a bad reputation SISU get (seriously, how do people still spell SISU wrong?), the more pressure they (in theory) feel.
Just been confirmed that bbc and sky are sending tv crews
I'll tell you what the March achieves. It denies SISU the opportunity to insinuate that they are acting in the best interests of Coventry City Football Club. That's the line they would love to peddle. If several thousand supporters attended Sixfields they would break the land speed record getting to phones to tell the world that the supporters were with them. Everything that shows the world that the vast, vast majority of supporters are anything but nails this lie.
There is also the risk that the outside world sees low attendances as a sign of apathy, possibly linked to poor performances and lowly league status. Events such as this remind people that our club has been taken hostage by a bunch of vile, scheming, money-grabbing capitalists. Events like this make it harder for the Football League to pretend that they are not grossly abdicating their responsibility to football at large.
It's not about Sisu, they're impervious to public pressure. The FL on the other hand...

Totally agree...the more pressure on SUIS the better. Bang on kg82, bang on...
