Exactly!
It's either send out statements and target everybody or keep it pro CCFC.
Liquid Gold has made decent suggestions to target all of them.
Its complicated getting a joint protest everyone has diff opinions on who is at fault. Therefore it needs to be a message of something everyone agrees with which is us having a home to play at next season (at least i hope thats a mutual agreement among us). Otherwise you get everyone fighting on different fronts, no focus and then people picking and choosing protests if its only against the one they think is at fault!

Its so obvious now, surely everyone can see what is going on.I think the fact the talk of action against Wasps gets so much panic in that strange accounts login within minutes shows exactly why it should be done.
New 'parody' twitter accounts popping up today as well.PR form working Sunday now I see
Set fire to the Ricoh.
Simple and to the point.

As sad as it is to say, I don't see any protests making a scrap of difference. The decision makers don't care about us. None of them. Yes, we can get our plight featured in the national press, but we've done that several times before and got no further forward. Us fans are just pawns that can be sacrificed to protect the egos and wallets of selfish people.
The video thing is easy. Anyone can take them on their phone (remember to hold it sideways!).How about a message with a video? Get children involved saying how much they love to watch us etc (appeal to the human rather than business side....."we understand the issues with SISU however it's people like this that will suffer"
The club isn't dead as long as there's enough people who care to keep it going.
Fucking hell mate.
Ok, I'm in.
If people want exposure, why has nobody paid Wagner £20 to make a video?

I don't see how a cheap sex tape is going to solve our problems
Mate, I'm just tired of it all. I've marched, I've sang, I've protested, and now I've all but resigned myself to the death of my club. Fans are the last people to be considered in modern football. It's all about £££, and that's not what the sport I fell in love with was ever supposed to be about.

You joke about it, but I'm pretty sure a honeytrap and people in important places could sort a lot of our issuesAdd a bag of coke in to make sure.
I'm being realistic. How many people on here that are now the most vocal on here were that bothered before?How many of those will get involved now? Also if they do get involved what difference will it make? As a final question what do they get involved in? Sorry to be negative but I feel nothing that we do is going to change anything.That's the spirt
You do realise I'm talking about on a non match day? I'm not some sort of maniac
Atm Spurs cannot play at their home venue, in fact will they feature at the new White Hart Lane “ at all this season
The FA have helped them play league and cup games at Wembley
Surely all clubs need supporting when there are issues re home venues, sometimes it seems that the powers that be have no interest in teams in “lesser leagues”
The same would apply to us. If we said we aren't playing at the Ricoh but we're going to temporarily play at another stadium, that meets the FL ground requirements, in Coventry that would be fine. Problem is there isn't one.Atm Spurs cannot play at their home venue, in fact will they feature at the new White Hart Lane “ at all this season

From the pictures of their crowd yesterday looks like the boycott is already doing very well.Rent the a444 billboard and advertise the wasps boycott

I've been going on about this open letter for weeks. It isn't going to happen.The problem is its been left so late that there's not really time to start with a low key approach and ramp things up.
I would rule out any action in the ground at a Wasps game. Just can't see it being effective. Their fans aren't really that bothered, look on their forum where there's plenty of people hoping we get kicked out.
And you're trying to rely on pissed off (and possibly pissed up) city fans to not even make noise at the wrong time. I would say you'd have a good chance some idiot would get on the pitch and it would all backfire.
Needs to be a specific thing we are requesting. I would suggest a one year rolling deal on the current terms, could maybe add an annual increase linked to inflation, until the legals are over.
The obvious thing, as it can be done quickly and easily, is to start with an open letter. I would make sure it points out that it is the fans that will suffer not SISU. That the fans have tried protests before, during and after home and away games, disrupting games, the huge marches, protests at SISUs offices and the football authorities offices with zero impact.
Point out the history off the club and how important it is to the people of Coventry. That the club is a local employer, generates millions annually for the local economy and is one of the things most associated with the city nationally and internationally.
State that Wasps have benefitted from the clubs troubles by purchasing a £113m stadium for less than £10m, something that was never offered to the football club. Point out the assurances that Wasps arrival would not harm CCFC.
Mention the potential impact on the bonds and Wasps bottom line if Wasps lose a significant tenant. Not just the money the club pays Wasps every year, the loss in F&B, loss in customer for ACL partners such as the casino, lowering the value of future naming rights.
Question if Wasps are prepared to force Coventry City out of existence, and don't accept 'but SISU' as a response. Make it clear that if that is the route they choose the people of Coventry will not just stand back and accept it.
I know but it just seems such an easy and obvious thing to do I struggle to see why we're as close to the deadline as we are and its not yet been taken onboard.I've been going on about this open letter for weeks. It isn't going to happen.
Because, unless they actually do something, I can't see that this is anything more than virtue signalling so they can say they've attempted something.I know but it just seems such an easy and obvious thing to do I struggle to see why we're as close to the deadline as we are and its not yet been taken onboard.

I’ve been taking about this open letter campaign for about a month now. It’s obviously not going to happen but hey ho. Still, anything against them needs to start immediately. If they have another home game without action it’s a travesty.
