This Friday Charlton play the return league fixture against Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena. Back in October, relegation-threatened Coventry City supporters turned up in decent numbers for a joint protest about bad owners of football clubs. Seven months on the Sky Blues teeter on the brink of what looks like a certain relegation. With Charlton probably needing another three points to ensure their own survival, it's ironic that we could achieve it at the expense of our fellow-sufferers and send them down.
Joy Seppala and disastrous SISU have taken Coventry on a downward spiral that makes even ours look jovial during the ten years they have been in control. They have ripped the heart out of Coventry City and look certain to take the club into the fourth tier of English football for the first time in their history. The club have very few remaining assets and are in their final year of renting at the the Ricoh Arena and are likely to start the 2018-19 season at another venue having already spent time playing home matches at Northampton's Sixfields.
Several hundred Coventry fans marched up from the Antigallican back in October to join around two thousand Addicks in processing down Floyd Road in unison before occupying the club car park in a pre-match protests. Famously, both sets of supporters then threw several thousand stress-ball pigs onto the pitch in further protest which held the match up for ten minutes and which gained extensive worldwide media attention.
Now is the time for Charlton fans to return the favour and join the Sky Blues fans at the Cherry Trees Club at 1.45pm or earlier and support their march and protest. Make the effort if you are going - they played their part, let's play ours.
