I am a Stockport supporter and wish you well. Like ourselves once you lose control of your stadium the heart, soul and integrity is ripped out of the club..
Well fair play to you, as a schoolboy I supported Chelsea because it was cool to be associated with Carnaby street! I snapped out of when I got into the West End crew and realized that I was a local lad who's job it was, to kick the shit out of visiting scallies!

I'm a sky blue from Australia and will support them till I die. It's times like these we need to stick together, we can't let Coventry die. PUSB 4 LIFE #SISUOUT #KEEPCOVINCOV
Hi guys, just got an official statement from the football league! The one and only share that entitles CCFC to play in the English football league, is now owned by a company called Otium entertainments group! Obviously a side shoot company devised over-night by our friends at SISU! If it means anything to you all, they did not expect the massive backlash of City supporters! Keep the faith, brothers and sisters!
Good luck in getting back to Coventry. Presumably SISO are playing hardball with your club so they can get a new stadium (which they own) However, I'm sure they're not fussy abotu how they turn a profit on their investment. The longer SISU keep you in exile, the easier it will be for them to claim a "unique problem" that needs a unique solution :(
ACL bite the bullet , refuse the optium offer.If ACL go under and we lose the ricoh. There will never be no chance for a phoenix Afc Coventry city.New ricoh owners will want top dollar rents
Not the best option my friend, because Coventry City will have to re-apply to join the football league, as a memorial park team! SISU have offloaded the share that once belonged to the club we all know, to a company called Otium! SISU have done a runner in the night! The owner of that Otium share could pop up in Rugby, Kettering, or even North Wales, waving their share to play in the football league! It is a nest of snakes and rats! I have tried to call the fraud squad in, but alas, brick wall!
The best option for coventry city is liquidation and rebirth as a phoenix club. Afc coventry city will be debt free. The FA will relegate us two division like they did to nuneaton borough.With a fan base of 20000 , ricoh and being debt free , we will have a better chance of getting back to the premiership. SISU Plan of playing in Northampton will mean us being a club of 2000 fanbase potential.Which will not take us far but what i know is we will lose the next generation of city fans
It would be dreadful to be honest.Yes, politics affect all of us in everyday life but ultimately it's a passionless subject - unless of course you're directly involved in it. Do I detect a football hater here by any chance? We need distractions from the dirge of that every day life - Music, theatre, pornography, gardening, er, the xfactor (for some) and yes - football. The last time I checked, the NHS was still going. CCFC on the other hand are in peril of going under for good.
This is typical of owners with no plan B, I feel so angry that clubs like yours are run like some sort of hobby, I wish you all the best like all decent football fans do, I fear the same will happen at my club, Blackburn. Is all well and good being a so called fan of one of the big clubs but do they give a toss about the game?
My solution to the SISU problem is this: sell the team to CC fans at £10 a share, maximum 10 shares per person, and let the people run the team. SISU OUT!!!!!!!!!
We had the same idea (Blackburn), we created a community trust and it seemed a great idea at the time but it hasn't worked at all. £10 a share isn't anywhere near enough, the Rovers Trust are selling shares at £1,000 and thousands have put the money forward, including local businesses and it still isn't anywhere near the target and even when the money has been raised the club has to be willing to sell up for a much lowered price than what it was bought for. The Trust has also fallen lucky with people who are experienced in football and financial management but if Coventry were to create a trust they'd not only have to find someone who is not only a die hard fan with money but also has the expertise to run such an organisation and have the connections to bring in other professionals to help run the club if or when they acquire it. These are bad times to be a football fan, all it takes is one dishonest person or one bad season and a relegation to ruin a club. I know our situation isn't half as bad but it may be in the future and I can certainly understand and sympathise. It seems the only ways to get out of these situations is for someone richer to come along and buy the club or liquidation and start a fresh or start a new club like FC United and Wimbledon. Best of luck to your future anyway, I hate what has happened to Coventry and if you know anything about football you'd know Coventry isn't a small club and a club of this size shouldn't be having these sorts of problems. I hope a rich Coventry fan comes along for you and buys the club out.

Great to see Dave Nellist on the march and give a speech ... I assume you know who Dave is ???
I thought I was on my own up here in York. I was born in Allesley and moved to Coundon. To see so many people,
I'm a sky blue from Australia and will support them till I die. It's times like these we need to stick together, we can't let Coventry die. PUSB 4 LIFE #SISUOUT #KEEPCOVINCOV
It was amazing, everyone saying how like '87 it was and great to catch up with so many people I hadn't seen for years.
Great work, proud to be a sky blue! Peaceful as well and lovely seeing loads of sky blue shirts in the city centre afterwards :) x
Thanks for your best wishes, I remember the Kippax end at Maine Road. House of fun!
As much I am a united supporter I live in coventry and respect the club and for a club with so much history being treated by twats not fair
Brilliant. Wish I was there. Next protest march, I'm flying over for it. Not much on news media sites though - disappointing. PUSB
Why do you presume these people haven't done that as well? What the fuck is wrong with people assuming other people don't have more than one concern?!

Coventry city fan from Sweden here. This is a terrible decision.
Coventry City means football in Coventry for the people of Coventry. For those of us who were there in 87 this is just beyond belief!!
march for your football club but not the privatization of the nhs,what the fuck is wrong with people
Good luck in getting back to Coventry.

Aberdeen should play Coventry City in Coventry.
Im sticking up for the club you know move united out of the way and focus on the club I respect it and never want it to go
Well done Cov! If it doesn't work then crew the FA and start a new club
Fantastic turn out! Sisu Out! NOPM.
WE ARE HOME!
Man they are moving them away? gutted

some of them probably did but if everybody cared about politics as they do about football ,how great would that be

I saw myself in this at 0:57 to 1:01

Northampton is not that bad....
ACL must survive. Banks can never own 20.000 city supporters. With a ground and city fans, there will always be a Coventry city.
the one and only share that entitles city to play in the football league, is owned by a company called Otium.
its already done
#KeepCovInCov thats all
Magnificent turnout
You have my support, modern football is shit,
SISU out!!!!! Not one penny more. PUSB.
