Save the Sky Blue Academy Petition (13 Viewers)

[Brylowes]

No mate... Jim Blythe saved a penalty very, very late on to keep the score at City 5-4 Norwich

Yeah I know Blyth made the penalty save but I'm not on about that, I'm talking
about the ref blowing for time literally as the ball left the guys foot, before hitting
The net.
It definitely happened, just not sure if my mind has condensed it into this game.

So WAS the Ian Wallace goal a "spectacular " overhead kick.

Did the display on the scoreboard say 5 - 5 . Or was it "oh no"

I was there, but I honestly don't remember anything up on the scoreboard, or any Wallace overhead kick.

I just remember it being a great game and Blyth saving that penalty.

Best of all, it was Boxing Day so made it the perfect Christmas present.

I don't remember reading the campaign's core objective as being that, but I do agree CCFC should be the leading club in the City. Unfortunately, the owners have done precious little to defend this position. I didn't want Wasps here and I'd still rather they fucked off, but they're not going to, so SISU and the board need to act.

I don't recall SISU doing anything to buy the stadium legitimately, no. This is proven in a court on more than one occasion.

I've made comments to other threads, but on this one, I asked a genuine question as I honestly didn't see the point. As for promises being broken, you must know all the facts about that now Grendel surely as there have been plenty.

Les Reid getting sacked: I don't recall the detail, but I don't recall a court case or tribunal where someone decided him leaving was 'unfair'. If there is one and it was officially 'unfair', please enlighten me. I used to enjoy the detail in Les' stories in the CET as at the time, not many were providing the analysis he was. When he popped up on the Observer, his narrative changed.

I was 7 and there with Dad & Bro sat in the sky blue stand , remember the
overhead kick Wallace was in line with us just outside the box, absolute
cracker.
Remember the penalty save, but seem to remember as we made our way
out, along the terrace at the bottom of the S B S toward the west end.
They scored again but time just called, confusion all round and hanging
back to find out the verdict.
Ah, I've always loved the day after Boxing Day.

Thanks - I hadn't seen that before.

Yeah, but this of course was Boxing Day itself wasn't it.

NO NO NO For the 1.646th time no. :bag:

You sound like my wife, though the figure you mention is much higher in her case.

To put into English what the CT didn't manage - There is no specific target for this - the intention is to show to those who have it within their remit to save the academy, and keep it going, that the fans care. If the powers that be think that fans don't care and won't kick up a fuss they will do as they please and stuff the few objectors. This is aimed at CCFC, CSF, Wasps and indirectly CCC. It is not about allocating blame or finger pointing or digging up history but about forcing those who can to come up with a workable solution for the future of the academy. All parties have been spoken too by the Trust and all have said its important and they are willing to work together but as ever actions speak louder than words. Personally I feel that 1000 signatures isn't great - the CT covered it briefly and the Cov Observer have for whatever reason ignored it altogether. Maybe supporters don't quite grasp the seriousness of the situation and its consequences for the future of our club?

They must have been reading this as now they've published the below.

Yes they really are pro the football club aren't they.

 

[Orca]

But you're not biased at all are you?

There's dirty linen in everyone's basket here Grendel and I know for a fact the senior people at the CET aren't without their faults either. That's not point of this thread and having accused me of an 'agenda', it's interesting you now want to talk about them.

Were you a sleeper?

 

[Orca]

Were you a sleeper?

I must have been. It doesn't matter what I say does it? I'm here to learn and contribute. I learned some new things yesterday about Les Reid's sacking which I hadn't fully understood. Although my beliefs on why we're in the shit we're in now haven't changed, I understand that Les found some uncomfortable truths that I hadn't before fully understood.

If you and the others on here who attacked me for asking a genuine question still believe anyone from Wasps or CCC would bother their arses with trying to influence a handful of people on here, I can't help that. Seems a bit idiotic to think that though.

Many Thanks Tommy
At least some people are genuinely concerned about our future and keeping the thread on subject.

I guess by that you're implying that I'm not. I've signed it and asked a genuine question about who it will be delivered to and what actions we expect. That's the normal thing to do with a petition and that appears to be missing on this one. For asking that question, I've been told to fuck off, called a tosser and a Wasps plant when all I really want is the same as everyone else.

Why would you assume that? I would assume he was having a go at people talking about a certain game years ago and having tantrums about what day it was on. But that wouldn't have happened if the chief decision maker of who is and who isn't a fan dadnt used one of his tried and tested diversionary tactics.

Fair point. I'm new here but I think I know who they might mean now!

Yes - I don't remember ever signing up, but Google autofill did. First post last Thursday.
If you're really that bothered, please check with an admin about how many times I've actually logged on in that time. I'm sure you could try to spin some conspiracy out of it if you want Grendal.

Petition aside what I want to know is why the club has now gone quiet on the academy issue I only hope it's because the parties are talking. Then again it is holiday time probably more important to get a tan.

Maybe because the telegraph have blanked it or maybe because the Trust have backed it.
The owners are always waiting for someone to do it all for them, to them it is just another commodity in their portfolio of fuck ups...........

Some are doing it for them but some aren't interested

 

[oldskyblue58]

Have there been any recent meetings held or arranged/planned between CCFC/CSF/Wasps to discuss this? if so what happened? Are all sides willing to hold face to face talks to progress a solution (if there is one)?

Are the Trust able to find that out or even arrange dates/venues?
