I don't recall having seen this suggested before, but how about asking all Sky Blues fans to wear a black/dark coloured top at Wembley. If the whole CCFC section of the ground was virtually Sky Blue free, I'm sure it would be picked up on by the media.
As the teams come out, take off the dark tops to make a sea of Sky Blue to show the team (and potential investors) our full support.

Not sure any gimmick protests should really happen at Wembley

I think people should just enjoy the day as, chances are, you won't be going back again anytime soon.

I remember snatches of things from the Cup Final in 87, but I wish I remembered more, so cocentrate on the occasion.

I would sort of agree with this, but I would have us all wearing sky blue until we go 3 goals down and then have us all reach into our carrier bags and whip out the black clothing.

I'll tell you whats needed is intelligent protesting, not stupidity. The time for what you are suggesting was at Northampton.
Advocating this action is counterproductive, you hurt CCFC, not the owners

Dumb idea. Any protest at Wembley will give Coventry a bad name and cause more problems than it solves.

I recall this being mentioned AT LEAST 3 or 4 times!
How about we just enjoy our day. God knows how many more we might have!

Nobody should be ruining this day out. Potential new fans and so many of us, we should use this as an opportunity to enjoy supporting the club and showing what a positive it can be.

The only reason I will be running on the pitch is to kick the shit out of some idiot fan ruining it for everybody else.

How exactly does one organized demonstration ruin the event? This is clearly one of the best opportunities to reach a global audience at the home of English football.

I think a massive SISU OUT banner would be good. I remember when we played Chelsea in the FA cup and they had a MASSIVE Chelsea banner which must have covered 10x10 rows of seats (at least), which they passed overhead across the stand. Something like this with SISU OUT written on it would be picked up by cameras, but I think they have restrictions on flag sizes now so might not be possible

Can't all you muppets just enjoy the day for what it is. Leave your puerile protests at home because no one takes any notice.

Every body, certainly in this country knows our plight. When I tell people who I support their response is always......"oh yeah, your the ones with the sh*t owners right?" Causing havoc at wembley will alienate people from their symphyses. Wembley and having games abandoned is not the answer.

I've got a great idea but I'll take a little work. There's an army base the other side of Southam at Kineton, it's an ammunition dump, etc.

Firstly, you need a car. Steal an anonymous dark coloured sedan (as they do in the films) and park it in a convenient field gateway opposite the entrance. Don't worry the guards won't notice. Change into the army outfit you'll have to hire. Practice military speak beforehand so you don't get caught out. Be prepared.

Tunnel under the fence (but take wire cutters in case the ground is a bit hard, shovel too obviously), avoid security, dogs and stuff and find where they keep the tanks. Get the keys; they'll be on a hook somewhere or under the sun visor.

Now the next part is important and you must hold your nerve: DO NOT crash through the security barriers at the entrance, that'll be game over. Stop at the barrier, keep calm and do the following.

Guard: Where you taking that tank, lad?
You: For an MOT at the local garage, mate
Guard: Fine

He'll wave you through. Go to a big town or somewhere to get petrol as this baby is going to drink the fuel like you wouldn't believe and you don't want to pay motorway prices! Drive down to Wembley stadium, settle down in the car park for a bit, listen to Clive's commentary and amuse yourself with how many times he calls Oxford by another team name. Or count the amount of time he says "stops and checks".

Now, it gets interesting. On a significant minute of the match, 87 or whatever, crash through the big doors drive onto the pitch - avoid the players - stop in the centre circle and shout "up periscope!" as that's what they say in the films. Use that to find Fisher in the crowd and fire....but not a real shell or anything. Beforehand you will have cleverly constructed a mechanism so when you fire a flag shoots out saying "Fisher Resign" or "Sisu Out". Use your imagination.

Now get out of there! Obviously still avoiding players, etc.

Remember this has a higher worldwide TV audience than the Superbowl so the impact will be, well...mind blowing.

Drive back to Kineton and put the tank back. Now you'll have been gone a while. Although luckily it will be the same guard, you might have to explain the length of time you were gone, but I've got that covered too.

Guard: You were a long time (he will probably look at his watch at this point)
You: Yeah, lady in front of me in the MOT queue had a bit of an issue with her Civic.
(There could be a tense few seconds as he thinks about this as he has a Civic and has always found it economical and reliable)

You'll be aware of the small beads of perspiration breaking out on your forehead which will twinkle slighty under the bright security lights, but keep control and stay calm.

Guard: Ah, that explains it then.

If he does get too suspicious just say something like "Women, eh?" He'll chuckle as if you've just told him the funniest joke ever.

He'll wave you through. Stick the tank back where you found it, take all your rubbish with you. Use the tunnel or hole in the fence to get back to your sedan.

Coincidentally, the minute you open the car door you'll hear sirens going off inside the base. Why? you'll think to yourself. Then you'll realise you carelessly dropped that empty Frazzles bag just outside the tank. As there isn't a breath of wind the bag didn't blow away and one of the alsatians started sniffing it. His handler will say something like "Watcha got there, boy?" You've been rumbled!! He'll shout "bloody hell fire" and press the alarm.

Drive away as fast as you can. Dump the sedan.

Go home. Turn on the news: any channel as they'll all be covering the story and bask in the glow of your success.

I fully expect us to be back there end of next season, in Div 2 play-offs. If we haven't already achieved autos...all depending on Robins staying with us of course...

Take it in in sections and assemble it inside!

Just go to enjoy the day

If the team prove not to be good enough and are getting well beaten then vocal protests will take a life of their own in any case.

Yes it is an opportunity to show our displeasure but the methods are going to be restricted especially after the events this week in London. It isn't that people are not aware.

To me the day is about happy times with my son and friends...... The protests and yes the football itself are way down the list on 2nd April.

Who is on about getting it abandoned?
Running on the pitch I keep reading this have any of you ever been to Wembley?
It is vurtualy imposible to get on the pitch.
People are suggestin wearing tee shirts not war ffs.
As for banners etc people have the right to fly what ever banner they like as long as it is not Racist etc.
Anti Sisu banners should be made compulsory with ticket sales.
And sorry in advanceif mine upsets you.
