The SISU Out Group have issued an open letter to Tim Fisher

The letter reads as follows:

"Dear Tim 

You may be aware that our group organised a protest at the match versus Swindon Town on Monday.

This protest was put in place to allow Coventry City fans to register their concern at the direction our football club is currently going in.

Despite the poor attendance on the night we felt that the protest was well supported and gave us encouragement to carry on hammering home our clear unequivocal message. The feedback we have received has been largely very positive.

The fact that the game was attended by a record low crowd in Coventry bears testimony to the dire situation the Sky Blues now find themselves in.

To be fair to you , the board of the football club and the owners we feel that you should at least have the opportunity to answer our key concerns before we continue the next phase of our plan of action.

With regard to the proposed new stadium we have made our position clear. That being that the time has come, in fact is long overdue, for the football club to announce firm plans for a new stadium.

It is now at least 12 months , probably longer, since fans were promised an announcement on a new land deal. For this information to still remain unforthcoming is unacceptable.

Coventry city fans need to know exactly what your plans are. If there are no actual plans in place, as recent information indicates, then we need to be told.

If as some current rumours circulating appear to show there are plans but for a stadium to be built outside of the City of Coventry then again we need to know now that this is the case.

We would warn however that a large number of city fans have already advised us in soundings we have taken that they will never accept Coventry City playing anywhere other than in the City of Coventry.

Therefore if this does form part of your strategy then we would advise you to have a massive rethink.

We have a number of other major concerns including a lack of investment in the playing squad , an inability to communicate with our supporters and also democratic representation of fans. If the idea of supporter involvement on the clubs board is to be taken seriously we would advocate real fans chosen by actual club supporters ,not the club owners ,as a massive step forward.

We hope you recognise our genuine concerns as supporters of many years standing and look forward to an honest and unambiguous response at the earliest opportunity.

Please note this letter has been issued to media outlets,

Kind Regards
