Do you want the bad news, the bad news or the bad news?
On Sunday our 130 year old, FA Cup winning, Premier League founding Club played a scheduled home league fixture in front of less than a thousand paying Sky Blues fans Today's Coventry Telegraph has an advert for Aston Villa - completely humiliating Sunday was a massive wake up call because a great opportunity to publicise our plight was wasted because of lack of unitySo what do we do - have your say!The situation facing CCFC is dire and the usual kcic wing and a prayer approach is unsustainable. kcic has worked through an informal network of people doing what they can to help - kcic has no organisational structure, no members and no money. kcic has several current initiatives different people are working on e.g. the campaign for an Independent Inquiry is ready to be launched, there is planning for a theme of candlelight vigils including one at the Cathedral, someone else is designing a range of kcic shirts etc, plus there's ideas for a Lady Godiva led event in London, a Zombie Walk (ripping the heart out of CCFC!), and so on. But the seriousness of the situation CCFC is in needs something more than an informal group of people doing what they can.We are fortunate that we already have the Sky Blue Trust. The Trust organised the first protests at the Football League and sisu offices, the brilliant 7,000 strong march and rally, the Legends game with the Former Players Association, and a lot more besides. It is a legally constituted, democratic body run by fans for fans and has a committee, members and resources including a Fighting Fund. So kcic faces a simple choice: 1. kcic could set itself up on a more formal basis, but this would in effect make it a rival to the Sky Blue Trust;or2. kcic could be mothballed and hand over to the Trust the plans for current initiatives, for the Trust then to choose those it wishes to pursue. My view is that option 1 would be a huge mistake and to have a single, unified, powerful voice for fans means option 2 has got to be the way forward. But it would be good to hear what you think so please email keepcovincov@gmail.com and for the subject just put the number of which option you prefer: 1 or 2.Cheers,Michael
