The Keep Cov In Cov Quiz

In the 2013/14 season did more Coventry City fans go to games at Sixfields or to away games?
 
Answer: more CCFC fans went to away games than to NTFC. Average number of Sky Blues fans at NTFC was 1591, and at away games 1635. The Sky Blue Army has been truly awesome. #Respect
 

What was a 'sick joke' this week?
 
Answer: Oliver Kay in TheTimes wrote "Coventry City have won the Football League’s family excellence award, which recognises the “outstanding experience” provided by clubs for young fans and families this season. This is the same Coventry City whose owners, the offshoot of a Mayfair hedge fund, have alienated their fanbase by relocating 35 miles to Northampton owing to a rent dispute with the local council. Family excellence? No club in English football have done more to kill the experience of families wishing to support their local team. Unless the implication is that families are better off spending their Saturdays doing something other than watching football, this seems like a particularly sick joke" 
 

What promise did sisu make to City fans on 18 May 2013?
 
Answer: that a new stadium “will be designed and delivered in 3 years” www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-chief-left-ricoh-3869400
 

What do you call a person who makes a promise but doesn't deliver?
 
Answer: with sisu, that depends on how much you can afford to pay lawyers for when they take you to court!
 

What was announced on 8 May and will happen on Saturday 12 July 2014?
 
Answer: the Sky Blue Trust march and rally (http://youtu.be/1pmFldAqgzM)
 

"What constitutes a football club for me, more than anything it's about the fans, and when I've seen Coventry fans marching through the streets, five thousand of them I think they said, I think 'there's a football club'. Not the people that own the name" This is a quote from this week – who said it?
 
Answer: AFCWimbledon’s Ivor Hellor in a fantastic  interview at http://vimeo.com/92082407
 

"There are two modalities of timing". Who said this and what does it mean?
 
Answer: Mark Labovitch’s explanation of why sisu have failed to pay a bill (who'd have thought it!) of £590,000. As for what Mr L means, that’s anyone’s guess!  www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-official-insists-club-7087138
 

What opens on Monday 12 May?
 
Answer: a brand new shop in Coventry selling kcic t-shirts, hoodies etc – full details are at the bottom of this message.
 

And two questions kcic just doesn't know the answers to:

• why the tiny but noisy pro/anti acl/sisu minorities get so much attention when the overwhelmingly majority of City fans, as kcic again heard at Monday’s Earlsdon Festival, clearly take the view that acl have questions to answer, but sisu are primarily responsible, cannot be trusted and are not good for CCFC? and,
• why some people criticise the kcic strategy - of campaigning for sisu to write off their losses on the debt-laden worthless asset that is now CCFC, remember to do proper due diligence in future and hand over the Club for a fresh start with a fan-led ownership model - but they don't suggest a better strategy?
