SKY BLUES INTERNATIONAL

Calling Sky Blues supporters all over the World

We know there are many of you living in Scandinavia, Europe, Australia, South Africa and America, in the Far East and all over the globe. Some of you are working abroad; some of you have made your homes many a mile from Coventry.

But one thing you have not shaken off is the Sky Blues bug. You may be sitting down to lunch in Los Angeles or just getting up in Melbourne, but at the Ricoh it's 9.30 in the evening.

So, what's the score? Some of you may not even come from the UK, but Coventry City is YOUR club. 

And we know there are many of you and we want to bring you together and build on your support. Share your experiences, tell us about where you live, what you are doing. How do you keep in touch with the City? 

You can even swap stories with fellow overseas supporters or just stay in touch with our new Global Community.

Joining couldn't be easier. Just click below and submit the online membership application form.

Remember to include your postal address, and you will receive a membership certificate signed by all the players. Non-UK residents will also automatically enjoy free membership of Coventry City London Supporters' Club.   

Wherever you are, we need you!  

SKY BLUES INTERNATIONAL

Coventry City London Supporters' Club, in a joint initiative with Coventry City Football Club, is delighted to announce the launch of Sky Blues International.

Sky Blues International provides a focus for far-flung Sky Blues support, and will stimulate wider awareness of Coventry City Football Club in the international community. It will also broaden the role of Coventry City London Supporters' Club.

Both the football club and CCLSC wish to extend our excellent and mutually supportive relationship in a practical way that can be of benefit to all.

Coventry City London Supporters' Club has always prided itself on a membership that extends beyond London and the South-East and which continues to include members from all over the world. CCLSC used to organise and co-ordinate a highly successful annual social event primarily for the benefit of its non-UK members.

As a result of discussions with Joe Elliott and with Gill Sage, International Business Development Manager at the Ricoh Arena, CCLSC was invited to submit proposals which were then agreed upon with the football club.

The Sky Blues International page is now live on the football club's website, www.ccfc.co.uk. An application form for membership can be accessed online via a link to the CCLSC website or directly above. The application form can then be submitted online.

Sky Blues International is incorporated within Coventry City London Supporters' Club. Membership of both is free and inclusive to applicants whose primary postal address is outside the United Kingdom. We invite all current CCLSC members within this category to apply for membership of SBI. All members of Sky Blues International will receive a welcome package including a membership certificate signed by the chairman, manager and team captain.

The SBI page on the football club website will provide for a global community of members and serve as a source for relevant news and information as well as members' contributions. Applicants will need to tick the consent box on the application form if they wish their e-mail address to be published. Addressed will only be published within a secure area of the website. Plans are already afoot for an International Supporters Day, and further developments and benefits will be announced in due course.

We are very grateful to Pat Abel who has generously agreed to administrate this project. Pat devoted much of her time as a distinguished football administrator to fund-raising at Coventry City and Chelsea. She was for forty years a very active Coventry City shareholder, and assisted Joe Elliott in the difficult and delicate task of tracking down and negotiating with individual shareholders at the time of SISU's takeover. Pat will be ably supported by Lauren Bates.

Tragic local resonances from recent events in Afghanistan remind us of how small a world we live in. Whether you are working overseas or you live abroad, whether you're Sky Blues mad or want to find out more, Sky Blues International looks forward to welcoming you.

Jonathan Strange, Chairman
