The Arsenal game offers a brilliant opportunity to get support for our plight so here's the plan.
- On 35 mins – hold up signs saying ‘WHY’ and sing: ‘I wanna go home, I wanna go home, Back to the Ricoh, the Ricoh’s our home’ (The link is we’re playing 35 miles from home and they question is 'Why has the mess we're in been allowed to happen, and why aren't we playing in Coventry where we belong')
- On 61 mins – hold up signs saying ‘WHEN’ and sing the Sky Blue song (The link is Jimmy Hill became manager in 1961 and wrote the Sky Blue song containing the lines 'Let's all sing together' and ‘We’ll fight till the game is won’ which is what fans need do to get us back to Coventry. The 'When' means 'when will this madness end and we return to our home')
BTsport are very interested in the idea and the media will be briefed so they understand and can explain what's going on. Arsenal fans are being really helpful and we're even going to have an item in the match day programme.
But for this to work it needs people to be up for it and some specific help is needed - remember, kcic has no money, no committee and relies solely on the efforts of individual City fans. We've managed to get 2,500 A4 sheets of paper with Why/When printed on (double-sided) but obviously need another couple of thousand so is anyone able to run off some copies? And we really need people to help hand them out at the Emirates. So please email keepcovincov@gmail.com if you can help. We had hoped to call at sisu and the Football League before the match but the logistics were impossible so we're going to focus entirely on the Emirates.
