Save Our City Meeting (1 Viewer)

On Thursday we are having a Save Our City meeting upstairs at the Hen Lane Social Club, Beacon Rd, Coventry, CV6 4DS. Everyone invited so we can finalize protest plans, coordinate efforts and set out tactics, conduct etc. Please come along meeting starts at 8pm.

Quick update: Meetings have been held with Cov Chief Exec Tim Fisher and Arthur Barratt, Cov Safety Officer and his safety and security team about conduct, what we can and cannot do etc. Basically we can meet by the JH statue, sing, chant etc but we cannot enter the Atrium, cannot harrass other supporters, use excessive bad and insulting language. Drunken and aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated. We have agreed to self police as far as possible but the Security will step in if things get out of hand. We need this protest to be peaceful, good natured and get headlines for the right reasons. The match has been moved from a non police event to a catagory C event - after consultaion with the police we are assured this is due to the fact the match is an FA Cup tie with 2000 Southampton fans excpected and not due to the protest.

After 3.15 fans who want to go into the game will be able to use gates 28 and 29 at the corner between the Telegraph and Tesco stands.

Bad language will be tolerated as it is with any football crowd what they said won't be is aggressive or threatening behaviour. More banners the better but they won't be allowed into ground. If Hoffman is Chairman then we will all be celebrating the demise of SISU.

One of the aims of the SOC was to get supporter representation on board as one of the failings of the current board has been the fact that they were totally out of touch with the needs or concerns of the fans. This is something we would push for with any new owners.
