We can already tell from responses that a walk out is going to be small scale and have little impact. Would any of the 1500 'regulars' walk out? nah. Infact the only impact may be a comment that the crowd attending is growing!
Best just to not attend, keep the crowd as small as possible, and go to the hill if you want to.
Simple.
For one game only PACK THE GROUND, support the players and then after 20 minutes and one round of "IN OUR COVENTRY HOMES" everyone stands up and goes to the Hill and makes noise and sings their hearts out.
Sky would be all over it, it would be on facebook, twitter and all over You Tube...
Does that not suit everyone ?
How do you guys who won't go in think the message could be passed across to the viewers on sky?
All of this will is subject to further discussion, working through ideas and liaising with the Police, but initial (provisional) ideas are:
1. Headline message of 'Keep Cov in Cov: acl-fl-sisu Sort It Out Muppets!'
2. It will be a family-friendly event and the main aim is to have as many people as possible on Jimmy’s Hill – it is estimated it will take 500-600 to reach from one side of the Hill to the other - making as much noise as they can (the media love numbers, noise and colour so if we give them that they will cover our message).
3. Coaches can be arranged (price to be sorted) to depart from the Ricoh, but people going in cars could also meet at the Ricoh and we could travel in a convoy with flags and scarves etc
4. Have a march from behind away supporters end to the top of JH with a particular theme around who will lead it.
5. Fans from other clubs wearing colours will be made v welcome
6. Other ideas around sound and light effects for different points during the game are being worked through.
7. kcic opposes any disruption of the game because we love football and CCFC, and it is sisu, the fl etc who are causing disruption and killing a 130 year old club.
8. It would be great if people who see acl/ccc as mainly responsible organised a simultaneous event in Coventry and people inside sixfields want CCFC back in Cov could also organise something in the ground.
Please send any comments/ideas to keepcovincov@gmail.com
By convincing more of those that do.... not too?
So wait... People expect fans to pay 13 quid to walk out after 20 minutes... People won't even stand on the hill let alone throw money away like that!!
Lets be honest, there's no passion in this

Lets be honest, there's no passion in this, we have a lazy fanbase who are letting our club get messed about by fools.
Clubs like Leeds and Blackburn had protests that were far more intense, and everyone got behind them.
Even my mates who go all the away games don't give one about playing in Northampton.
Do people care enough?
Other posters, who already go in the ground seem to favour the mass walk out....over to you lot....
Again, they would do if it is something they agreed and thought would work and unite the fans like the march with a message everybody can agree on
The hill was always the main planned idea, has been for weeks.
For one game, why can't people just get up the hill in numbers, noise and colour.
Then it's up to yourselves what you'll do for the remaining games.
part of the plan, most certainly, but standing in the dark on a hill, the main plan ?

Sigh.....about 5 weeks & 13 threads worth of ideas regarding this game......and still nothing from the trust??
We need the trust to lead this.....no disrespect to the kcic hill climbers, but your numbers don't cut the mustard...
..the trust are the ones who have the network, the contacts....they have close to 5000 membership don't they?......so they've got cash & about 5000 email addresses of City fans who cared enough to join up in the first place.....
...yet their silence is deafening !!
SBT...sort it out FFS.....your leadership team always seemed keen to bask in the media attention in the past.....well HELLO....live on Sky sports....wakey fucking wakey !!
They will only get slated if they send out E-Mails people don't like ether supporters care or they don't?
The only question is, going inside to watch or staying at home means?........
can't be bothered don't care take the piss out of those that do.

It isn't that people don't care, it's the fact that most people think that a couple of hundred fans on a hill isn't going to achieve jack shit. Like Nick says, it's the wrong attitude of the trust to say "this is what we're doing, like it or lump it". If the trust got behind a mass walkout I'd be there and I suspect many other boycotters would as well.They will only get slated if they send out E-Mails people don't like ether supporters care or they don't?

The trust need to step in
I'm all for a pitch protest. Peacefully. The TRUST need to show their hand quickly.
The point is that if people took the time to find a way that everybody can agree on it would be much more successful rather than the " we
are doing this, piss off and do your own thing if you don't like it"
I think the trust or whoever should be trying to listen to all members, whether they go to games, don't go to games, live in Australia or whatever to find a course of action everybody agrees on.
The fans need to be united.
If the Trust come out with an official line to get behind the mass exodus and get support/press coverage from the telegraph and it is clear that it will happen and it will be the main source of a protest for that game will you and kcic join or would you continue to stand on the hill portraying a split front?
