When? Friday 5 September at 7.45pm!
- Returning to the Ricoh is a tremendous result for Sky Blues fans
- Supporters have conducted themselves with incredible dignity during the sixfields episode and should feel immensely proud on Friday
- Major questions remain about the future, but ahead of the game kcic just wants to do a shout out to a lot of unsung heroes
There's way too many to name individually so to each and every person who...
- Came up with ideas, provided advice, support and got involved in IT, legal and financial matters, PR, mailouts, press releases and dealing with the media
- Helped beg, steal and borrow everything from mannequins to megaphones
- Designed, made, produced and printed graphics, banners, leaflets, flyers, t-shirts and the kcic logo
- Emailed, phoned, wrote to and nagged away at sisu, the Football League, journalists, MPs and anyone else they could think of
- Made a concrete contribution to local grassroots football by sponsoring Coventry Sphinx
- Took flags and banners to a huge number of different events and even to the World Cup
- Took and shared photographs, videos and film
- Went on the Ricoh Arena bus to the hill
- Researched information about sisu, its investors, other key players and a lot more besides
- Contributed money, time, energy, effort and sheer hard work
- Had the DCMS Select Committee petition idea, devised the wording, set it up, signed it, persuaded others to sign it, put up posters and did leafleting sessions everywhere from Bedworth to Coventry Market and the Earlsdon Festival to Stamford Bridge
- Made the Arsenal protest happen - printing thousands of signs, liaising with Arsenal supporters, transporting the signs across London, handing them out, holding them up (at just about the right time!) - then did it all again at Notts County
- Boycotted NTFC but went to away games in huge numbers getting Danny Kelly's award for fans of the year
- Did the work on the rent offer and made it happen
- Put more pressure on sisu by not buying merchandise
- Got involved in kcic events which started at the Ricoh, the 'flashmob' events in Northampton then at the London offices of sisu and the Football League last summer and again this year
- Did a whole load of other things too
- And who never gave up...Respect!
