This is an important game for us. Hope we all come back. It's not far off a year since the Sheffield Wednesday game protest. Needs to be big and surprising. I'll be there.
I will be there for this one. Only my second game of the season and first I will have to pay for a ticket, although I have plans in place to reduce this cost. Looking forward to it. Hope it gets called off half way through
Would be great if everyone who supports the protests could come to the march and take part in whatever is announced for outside the Valley.
Then as many of those as possible to go in the stadium and take part in there too. If we can pack the lower west (and the covered end) with loads of black and white wearing, noisy, protesters it will be fantastic. Worth breaking a boycott for, just to show them the strength of feeling.
They know the strength of feeling, they don't care. We've done this. We don't have the minerals to really get to them at The Valley. There will never be a game abandonment which would truly inconvenience them. If this is anything more but the usual throw things on the pitch/ banners/ sporadic 'We want Roland Out' chanting and a little coverage on the local rags website and pictures/backslapping on forums then I'll hold my hands up and say I'm wrong.
Sorry for the negative post, I will attend the march, but it's absolutely NOT worth breaking a boycott for - and encouraging people to give the club money - on principle.
Great idea to get together. Until they got relegated, Coventry seemed like a permanent fixture in the top division. Both clubs shoud not be where they are, and it shames both sets of owners.

Boggzy, while i admire your stance i think this is the one game to be in the stadium making your feelings known. No 'we want Roland outs', everything directed at the directors box.
The discussion around getting games abandoned last season took the promotion opportunities of our opposition into consideration (quite rightly so). However, it's a very different scenario with Coventry. I think this could get very interesting.

Unfortunately this is how I am feeling too.
I don't WANT to feel this way, honestly, but that's how it is for me at the moment.
I hope me and Boggzy are proved wrong, really I do.
Good luck to all who get involved. I will be supporting you in spirit.
Right, that's me and my son coming down from oop north for this one, just cannot sit on my arse and do nowt any longer. This trip is purely for the protest.

Agreed with the stated consideration above. However, another consideration is to keep the media "onside", which in my view, is necessary as an integral part of the overall range of actions/needs. I also believe we should hold the moral high ground.
I personally would not support actions to get a game abandoned. I also however recognise others may not support my view and that is fine by me.
personally think it's beyond worrying about maintaining the moral high ground, we've done that so far and where has it really got us. Anything goes imo (within reason of course)
does anyone have a link to the players both Charlton and Coventry?
I know there are a few on here that know players on our side - maybe CARD could get in touch with their Cov counterparts and see if there is any legs in this

To be fair though, he was a great football man, but ground sharing wasn't one of his better ideas.
