kcic is taking a break!
- At Monday's Sky Blue Trust meeting, the Trust Board asked that the resolution (about the NTFC boycott, contacting sisu investors, pressuring the Football League and promoting the petition for an Independent Inquiry) be deferred till October
- This is because the Trust believe it would not be helpful at the moment
- The Trust have met with Joy Seppala as "honest brokers"
- It was agreed to defer till October and kcic would not want to do anything to jeopardise the Trust’s current position
- So kcic will take a break and in the Trust we trust!
In the meantime...
Cardiff game - If anyone wants to go to the hill for the Cardiff game please get in touch with the Trust and if they get adequate numbers they will run a coach
Would you normally have your Season Ticket or be thinking about getting tickets for Cardiff and Sheff U if we were at the Ricoh?
Amid the CCFC mess, kcic is keen to contribute to football in Coventry. We are happy to publicise requests for help from any local clubs - so don't be shy letting us know – this one comes from City fan, Sharon Taylor, who many of you will know.
- Coventry Sphinx are keen to make some ground improvements
- They would like to extend the hard standing as you enter the ground, including fencing and generally tidying up the area – the kind of small improvement that makes a big difference at this level
- The cost is only a tiny fraction of Wayne Rooney’s weekly wage but for a grassroots club that avoids debt and has no rich benefactor it needs individual donations
- So we would be really grateful if you would be so kind as to consider donating the price of a typical Ricoh ticket - £25 - to help grassroots football in Coventry
- Access to cost price tarmac and volunteers to do the work would be very welcome too!
If you can help with a donation or in any other way, or if you have any questions, please contact Sharon at Sharon@coventrysphinx.co.uk
NOPM + MK Dons with the new season fast approaching, time to repeat yet again that...
NOPM founder Jim Smits always saw NOPM as being about showing the feeling of the fans by taking away the two major channels of commerce - 'home' games and merchandise and "Whilst NOPM was a good slogan to rally behind it wasn't meant to be taken totally literally as there will always be minor payments ending up with the club, but these do not amount to much. The big case in point was the Arsenal match. Yes, money ended up with SISU but it was not through direct sales and far more important was the show of solidarity of fans vs the reduced 'home' gates, and the opportunity to protest on TV. Possibly worth pointing out however that I'm not saying this just so I could go, as I watched on TV!" So boycotting NTFC and official merchandise remains important but no need for anyone to beat themselves up about any away games, coach travel, clicking on the CCFC website etc etc
With MK Dons, the message we hear from AFC Wimbledon fans is we should do what we need to do to protest and if anyone wants to use MK to highlight our plight it's also a good chance to emphasise that 'football clubs belong in their communities' and saying 'no to franchise football' with MK an example of that. So again, no need for anyone to tie themselves up in knots about going to MK
