Well we went down to SISU's HQ.
Fair play to those that turned up and I think we made some kind of impression even though we didnt actually get to see anyone.
We got there at 4pm and the police were there waiting for us as SISU had called them, didnt really matter as after we told them why we were there they let us have our peaceful demonstration.
SISU did not want to know tho and their receptionist told us to "f*ck off" so we now know exactly what they think of us fans.

Anyway, we have posted them a copy of our questions which were actually handed over thanks to the Old Bill so they did actually do something productive for once.
Anyway here are the questions we have put to them:
THE PLAYING SIDE:
What are the ambitions for the season?
What do you expect to do before the transfer window for loans closes?
Have you any intention of bringing players in in January, and who will be sold?
You said this seasons wages would be similar to last, they clearly are not, why not?
You said Marlon would be replaced by a franchise player, why has he not been?
Why do you say you will bring in premier league loan players and then not do it?
Why do you sign mediocre players on four year contracts and are not able to sign our best players on any contract? Is it because they then become your short term assets to sell and a new owners potential long term liability?
Do you deliberately mislead or do you not understand how football works?
THE BOARD AND GOVERNANCE:
Who exactly is on it?
What do they each bring and how much do they cost??
Why have we signed more board members than players this season?
How many executives are on the board? any? it was one of the things the new chairman criticised the old chairman for only having one executive on the board.
Who are the investors in the fund that sisu have chosen to invest in CCFC?
Do they receive regular reports on progress of their investment?
Can we see a copy of the latest reports to investors please?
Does SISI Private Equity Fund have an investment committee?
If so, Who is on it? What are its terms of reference?
What is the maximum percentage of the fund that can be invested in one investment?
What percentage is Coventry City of the total fund?
Why did Paul Clouting leave and why no explanation?
Who is our new chief executive?
John Clarke was seen being photographed with a former employee and told people he was coming back to "run the place with him" so why has it not happened?
Was Clarke disciplined??
What exactly does Clarke do? He is chair of the PR committee but the PR is awful so what are you holding him to account for?
Why has Len Brody disappeared? What has he added to the club? What was the big commercial idea he has been talking about and has it been implemented?
How much does Ken Dulieu get paid per day? and expenses? Why does he stay at Coombe Abbey rather than the Ricoh which is cheaper?
SISU have said they will fund us till the end of the season, Since the end of March how much money has been put in by SISU and how much has been externally financed?
Were there legal costs associated with undermining the investors that Gary Hoffman brought to the club? if so how much??
Why was Joe Eliott never on the holdings board? Why were he and Hoffman banned for trying to introduce investors??
Why have you got through so many Finance and commercial Directors?
You blame the old board for lots of things, Isn't it true that Onye Igwe has always made decisions and held the purse strings?
Isn't Onye the one constant throughout?
How do leaders of sisu measure his success re the CCFC investment?
How much have weekly players wages reduced since the end of last season? How much has been offset by falling gate money and other reduced commercial revenues??
THE STADIUM:
From the beginning you have said buying the stadium is a priority, so why haven't you bought it??
What progress is being made?
How would you describe the relationship between SISU and ACL and between SISU and the council?
SISU now have a copy of these questions and I will send the chairman a copy tomorrow, SISU have said they will answer them and get back to me, I will wait with bated breath and you guys will be first to find out if I do.
I hope most things have been covered with those questions, if ppl have anything to add let me know as am hoping to get a response from the club soon so will put things to them if anything else needs asking.
I feel we have done the rightly thing with this and ppl need to get behind the "SISU OUT" campaign.
Despite what SISU may say we do have a consortium trying to gain control of the club and we need it to happen asap for the sake of the football club, players and us fans.
Keep the faith and PUSB!!!!!!
Oh and SISU OUT!
