Coventry away fans

Two bob following ... yeah right been to high field Rd a couple of times and trust me it was no two bob following far far from it  

FAO Herts GTFC

20,000?

Do your homework maybe, Cov have averaged over 20,000 for many years so what's this Fantasy Island bull?

Quoted from Gaffer58

So this original thread was why ticket sales have been stopped, are we just going to have it brushed under the carpet and forgotten about ( as I assume those in authority want) or eventually get an answer. Heaven knows what the powers that be would do if we happen to progress in the FA Cup and draw someone like Millwall, Leeds etc. We have a SLO, let them explain to us.

Spot on. The original point has got a bit lost.

Yes, there are still serious questions to be answered here about the Police preparedness, the local Safety Advisory Group's role and opaqueness of operation, and the Club itself, specifically its latest chapter of poor customer care and bungled communications.

We've been arguing in recent weeks about what the role of the Mariners Trust should be, so might I suggest getting some answers on the above points be a theme they can take up?

Absolutely Hackney. I'd expect the Mariners Trust as not only representatives of the fans but as major shareholders to be pressing for transparency on the reasons for this decision and on why the SLO was not invited. There's nothing on the Trust website about it (or the club site still).

Also there's nothing on the Coventry Trust's site either. I'd have thought they'd be pressing for answers too.

Doesnt matter now...the police can hide behind "the day passed off without incident"..."we had received intelligence that a significant group of risk supporters were planning to attend"...."public safety is our priority"....etc etc etc
Maybe they did, maybe the police were correct to do so....but also maybe its a load of horse sh1t.

So suppose we have sold 200 for Stenage by this morning and suddenly all ticket sales are stopped, with no reason given, or even one in the future, are we just supposed to accept it, its a bit "1984 Big Brother"

Can I point out for the sake of clarity that the role of SLO is a GTFC position not one controlled by The Mariners Trust.

Actually....who are the Safety Advisory Group ? and on what authority do they act ? I would have thought its the clubs responsibility to manage an event on their property and the police to manage events outside of that. Liaison between those two parties and the opponents counterparts should surely be enough?
