CCLSC Presentation - 21st August Simon Fahy

AUG

2010

PRESENTATION

COVENTRY CITY v DERBY COUNTY

SATURDAY 21 AUGUST 2010

Coventry City London Supporters’ Club will officially present the restored and updated Phil Barlow Trophy to Coventry City Football Club after the home game against Derby County on 21 August 2010 (Kick-off 12.15). This trophy was originally accepted by the football club in 2003 and is kept in the trophy cabinet as a permanent token of CCLSC’s Player of the Year award. Phil Barlow was a much-loved former member of CCLSC. Our Player of the Year competition is just starting its 34th consecutive season.

Joe Elliott will formally accept the trophy on behalf of the football club in celebration of the close relationship we all cherish, and especially during a year which has seen the remarkable development of our joint Sky Blues International project.

All paid-up members of CCLSC are welcome. Please contact your new social secretary, Kevin Mofid Here if you wish to have a free pass to the event. Your e-mail will be acknowledged during the week leading up to the event. Passes will be issued in the atrium at the Ricoh Arena after the game. The deadline for applications is midnight on 19 August.

Please note the dress code: No jeans, trainers or replica shirts

Membership renewal is £5, new members £10.

Gay Footballers....Appreciated or Unwelcome? Simon Fahy

JUL
28
2010

Find below a message from Dr. Jamie Cleland at Staffordshire University.

I have a project ongoing that I hope you might be able to help with in terms of wider exposure. I am carrying out an anonymous survey on fans' views towards gay football players. This is in response to the Premier League dropping a campaign on this issue and Max Clifford claiming that 'football is steeped in homophobia'. We want to assess how fans feel about this.

After receiving over 2000 replies to phase 1 we are now moving into phase 2 of the research. Gordon Taylor, the chief of the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA), has replied to the interim results of the topfan online survey of fans’ views on homophobia and gay players and we are happy to set the facts straight. Mr Taylor writes: “Never at any time have I withdrawn support for an anti homophobia campaign and in fact quite the opposite.” As an organization, the PFA states: “We welcome the opportunity to lead the field in this area, as we have done with racism … we do not have any members of the PFA who have openly declared they are gay. If a player approached us regarding this matter there are support mechanisms in place to ensure the player has the full support of the Association.”

Check Here for the full statement, latest results and make your contribution to Phase 2 of the project.

Here are a couple of recent newspaper stories on the research: Here http://bit.ly/blCH5n (The Yorkshire Post) and Here http://bit.ly/doJTbY (The Sunday Herald).

Jimmy Hill Appeal Offer - West Brom Friendly Jonathan Strange

JUL
11
2010

Bruised from the Blitz and with the boom years yet to unfold, the city of Coventry opened its doors to a bearded 33-year-old. The football club, like the city, was stuck in the Third Division.

The new cathedral opened, and Jimmy Hill gave the city a sky blue hymn. A community found its voice through the local football team.

JH transformed Coventry City. He also became one of the major influences on the developing status and identity of professional football in this country.

Coventry City Football Club is inviting everyone who values his contribution to our national game, and especially to this city and its club, the opportunity to donate to the Jimmy Hill Tribute Appeal.

A campaign to erect a permanent reminder of Hill and his achievements has been launched. The Jimmy Hill Tribute Appeal will commission and install a statue of Hill, sculptured by the world famous artist Nicholas Dimbleby, outside the main entrance to the Ricoh Arena.

The fundraising will climax on 31 July, the day of the West Bromwich Albion game (kick off 3pm).

CCLSC will have the use of a box for this game. If, as a CCLSC member, you wish to make a £25 (minimum) donation to the Jimmy Hill Tribute Appeal, you can have a free ticket.

To take advantage of this offer, please send the information requested below by e-mail by TUESDAY 27 JULY.

Orders will be acknowledged, and tickets made available for personal collection on the day in return for your donation.

I do hope you are able to take advantage of this offer which is in aid of such a worthwhile cause and that you will enjoy the opportunity for a pre-season CCLSC get-together.

Thank you.

Jonathan Strange, Chairman.

New Year Message from Jon Jon Strange

JAN

2010

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

A very Happy New Year to all CCLSC members everywhere, including our new Sky Blues International members from all over the world.

The Sky Blues go into 2010 on a note of optimism: a three match winning sequence, an improving injury situation, and the promise of new signings in the transfer window. The air of increasing desperation at the beginning of December has given way, we hope, to lengthening days of consolidation and promise.

CCLSC looks forward to a Q&A later in the season, and to the International Supporters' Day on Easter Saturday in conjunction with Sky Blues International. Further details will be announced shortly.

Good luck, and let's all make it a wonderful year.

Jonathan Strange, Chairman

Dear Members, past, present and future … Rod Dean, Information and Publicity, CCLSC

JUL
17
2009

We are about to kick off the 2009/10 Season some of us will be optimistic others will look forward with trepidation and sadly there will be some who no longer care !

The CCLSC held a very successful AGM last Saturday when 15% of the membership showed up on a sweltering London Saturday. We have some major new initiatives to announce in the near future one of which I hope will be one of the most exciting in the 33 years the club has been operating - more on that in the near future.

I am kicking off our ever popular forecasting competition which we hope will receive an increased level of support this season.

Let's try to get more than 27 entries this year - once again I daresay that the Sky Blues' results will be predictably unpredictable - so everyone is in with a chance.

Last year's competition was won by George Ogleby (aged 14) who was urging Robbie Simpson to fail to score with the last free kick of the season at Portman Road as George had predicted a 2 -1 win for the home side - otherwise Paul Chandler (aged 14 and a bit more) might have sneaked in to win.

The entry form for this years competition is available to download from the link at the top.
