Anyone else had enough? (5 Viewers)

[ajsccfc]

The people who deserve the most credit are those who only started going in 2002 onward. They're the real heroes

Yup ive had enough. Im 34yo and went first game when i was 10.

When i say enuff ill prob still go couple times a year and still post on sbt every day but i dunno feels like big changes needed before we can move forwards as a club and fanbase.

Always backed sisu vs council and i still think council sre evil. But ive come to relaisation sisu r not gonna try make us a wellnrun club after all

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

......well you would say that. if you'd been going since the 1950/60s you might think differently - but , of course, you'll never know.

My first relegation was when we finished below half way in Division 3 South and became founder members of the new Division 4 (now Division 3). Until 2001 it was up up up not down down down !

 

[tisza]

Started in 1974. Seen all sorts of rubbish football but may be it was easier to digest when the crowds were bigger and the opposition were good quality.
The people i used to go with have drifted away. It's just not enjoyable anymore.
Could probably still stomach it more easily if there was some sort of hope of progress & security in the future - even if it was with the current owners for a short while.
Got to the stage when you're picking up the paper every day wondering whether there still will be a club.

 

[stevefloyd]

For me it isn't the 4 hours minimum drive to a game hoping we won't be shit. It is the drive home that gets me after we have been as bad as expected. Too much time to think about it.

I used to have a car like that

 

[stevefloyd]

Just spare a thought for SW88 our football corespondent ...he goes home and away....a true fan

I have to say that I've always found you pretty consistent on the blame front. You've always been very clear in saying that everyone is a c**t.

You've also always come across as enthusiastic almost to the point of being over enthusiastic about everything team related wether that be the performance, the players, the manager and playing staff.

So if you've been broken we really are well and truly fucked under SISU.

I only have cars like that. A slow one would make it 5 hours minimum

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Not had enough with CCFC - never will - I've always hated bullies - and I'm not backing down to this lot. I will consider ways to hurt SISU if at all possible - legally of course.

When you put it like that it is quite sad

Im sure we all will never stop hoping things will change though

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Can I just interject by saying it's irrelevant how long you have been going. There's a good chance I'd also have been going since 1952 but I wasn't born until 1983.

You always seem to find an excuse - 'I didn't go because I wasn't born ' Next you'll be saying you didn't get rat arsed when we won the cup!

I'm with you Harry the more those bastards hit my club the more I'll keep on going.
Call us stubborn or thick skinned fuck em we'll fight them till they've gone !

I've lived away from Coventry for the last 35 years and I'm 47, always try to go as much as I can
Home and away, I've had a few STs in that time and last year managed 24 games.
We traveled up for the home game v Bury early on in the season, and something changed within
Me. Boring 0-0 draw and we had to play out the game with 10 men, Thomas had entered
The Frey only to injure himself and go straight off, TM had used all subs so that was that.

Anyway, in the dying seconds of the game Bury were presented with a guilt edged chance to win
The game, but somehow managed to miss,when It suddenly dawned on me I felt nothing.
To lose in the dying second of a game would usually ruin my week, when I was younger it would
Leave me devastated, yet I honestly felt nothing at all and I couldn't believe it.
Haven't been since, I honestly never thought I would feel this way about CCFC.

I really hope we get through next Tuesday, my lad is Cov mad and still pesters me every week
To take him the match, I would love to take him to Wembley.

So it's not so much I've made a decision, it's more I've come to a realisation.

.....an excellent post ,Brylowes. When Fleetwood scored that late, late winner I went home without giving it hardly a seconds thought.

 

[Sterling Archer]

I'm close to being done if I'm honest. The 300 mile round trip for a home game is taking it's toll, especially with the standard of football Slade's teams produce in that 70% empty soulless rugby stadium.

I think I'll stick with the away games though, I still have a good day out and never let the actual football ruin a day out at the football.

 

[The Gentleman]

I will never defend Sisu but I will always remain with the club

So now you seem to suggest any supporter of the club is a supporter of Sisu - laughable concept really is it not?

Why don't you have a day off because I reckon everyone has had enough of you, you tit.

I've given you a'like' partly in the hope you'll stick with it, but more largely for doing a 300 mile round trip on a regular basis. You alone deserve a Wembley final (hoping it doesn't mean a longer round trip!)

From knowing Jimmy Hill as an associate I was privallaged to experience his views on life. It was all about the good of the masses, often at the expense of the few. Meaning those in positions of responsibility had to take a hit when needed for the greater good.

These thugs who run the protest group have failed to take any responsibility for the appalling actions taken by their following.

They can't claim to have the support and mandate of the 20,000 and then at the same time wash their hands of the same people when they take things too far.

What I see is a mob group who seem to take pride in actively sending the club to League Two under the guise that it's a cunning plan to remove the owners of the club.

I joined the Trust following its last major re-boot when the promise was to work towards fan ownership, something specifically listed within their website as an objective. They failed and even denied ownership was ever on their agenda, instead they went about trying to improve the match day experience.

That being said, I do find the Trust to be the voice of reason, particularly under the Chairmanship of Moz who can articulate a point without sounding like a 1920s Trade Union representative.

So in answer to the opening question of the thread, yes, I'm fed up of the JHW mob.

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

Can completely understand those who have had enough.

Barnsley away for TM debut was horrendous (bloody freezing and to keep myself warm I burnt my mouth on my HT Bovril!)

All those games where players just seem to desert the club and managers who didn't have a clue.

But I feel that it's my cross to bear-I was born in Coventry but moved away & have spent 39 years with either people taking the piss or latterly commiserating.

My passion remains surprisingly undiminished, the goal celebrations euphoric and the defeats depressing.

But I feel that life as a City supporter with its ups and many downs is just as addictive as ever.

God how I would love a trip to Wemberleee to forget it all temporarily !!

Same as me pretty much.....The m6 is soul destroying enough without having to endure that shit....and I hate the Ricoh.....

I'm so disenfranchised by modern football generally that I've become uncomfortably numb to ccfc.....

... that said....I aim to be popped up and singing my heart out at Oldham I'm a week or so....away games can still stir my ccfc soul

 

[Houchens Head]

I nearly died the other day when I overheard a local talk about "...fantastic Sisu...!" I had to ask him what he was talking about. He said he'd just come back from Florida and seen a "fantastic sea zoo"! Phew! I came that friggin' close to decking him! :emoji_grin:

Meh!

 

[Cov kid 55]

I guess if the OP was a Wolves fan he'd have fled the ship under the Bhatti brothers.

No I've not had enough.

I have to say well said Grendel, should the OP change his handle? Is that the right term??

 

[Samo]

Battered and bruised by SISU'S actions which have destroyed my club. For the first time since my first visit in 1952 I've had enough. Out for the count, or at least until SISU have gone.
I won't be watching or going again, cheers Tim, well done!

Yeah I said a while ago, I'm out. I think my continued use of this forum, limited as it is, is my way of trying to hang on to my fix. Truth is, the club is toxic and I really don't need toxic in my life. I really don't care and don't want to care any more. It's horrible but that's the truth.

Think most of long time supporters feel the same. 1962/3 for me and I have explained to my daughters I will not be renewing season tickets for me and grandkids next season. My Dad did me no favours bringing me up here as a kid, don't want to do same to my grandkids.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

I think I have been more than reasonable!

 

[Great_Expectations]

I've absolutely had enough, but I'm not going to stop attending.

I go because I support Coventry City, regardless of ownership, league position or even league. In my eyes that's being a supporter.

I appreciate everyone views it differently, and some will have been worn down by many more years of shit than I, but I'm not ready to give up just yet.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Haven't we all had enough?

We lose every week.
Endless court cases.
Selling of best players.
Homeless in a years time.
Academy lost as it stands.
Almost playing league 2 football.
Budget cut every year.
Fan protests and flares.
Dwindling crowds.
Pitch invasions.
A new manager every year.
No hope which is the killer.


Yes it really is that bad and it breaks my heart.

Poetry of the damned.

 

[Astute]

Don't understand.....

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

I've completely lost the will to live with Coventry City. There's no enjoyment whatsoever... we all pay good money, to watch our disgrace of a team get spanked every fucking week and then walk out of the the (Wasp's) stadium with your blood pressure through the roof.

The club is dieing and part of me just wants the misery to end. Really rattled my cage when Fisher pointed the blame at the fans before Xmas. Hes a total wanker and I've given up hope in getting SISU out of the club....that isn't to say I'm not absolutely boiling with rage!!!

 

[Super Graham Withey]

I will keep going because it's something I can share with my 14 year old son. It's him and others of his age I really feel for. When I was a year or two older than my son is now I used to go to watch City at places like Anfield and Old Trafford. Now it's trips to the likes of Oldham and Northampton. I met a big Middlesbrough fan last season at Barnsley v Fleetwood last season. He had sympathy for me as a City fan but even more sympathy for my son growing up watching CCFC in its current predicament.

 

[Don't know why I bother]

If we all stop going to games SISU will be gone by the start of next season. So what if we have to start from scratch, it's heading that way anyway. Better option than a slow lingering death

 

[oucho]

God listen to yourselves, what a load of self-pitying tripe. Nobody has died, you're not in Syria. If you don't like the football any more just stop going, stop moaning and take up another hobby like learning piano or chess or archery or hillwalking or swimming or anything.

And no i am not happy with things the way they are but I'm gonna keep going because generally a football day is a good day out (last Saturday at Sixfields excepted) with mates, beer, food, gallows humour, good natured piss taking and singing.

If you stick around long enough that we sink to Bedworth's level, then you can moan. If you bail out before then, fair play to you. But for God's sake don't waste your life moaning that you don't enjoy something that is meant to be an enjoyable use of your spare time. Just do something else. Yes it's sad at the moment but no need to keep going if you've had enough, nobody is forcing you to stay and nobody will thank you for staying and suffering when you don't want to. And nobody is going to call you a hero for leaving either. Go or stay as you prefer but whichever you choose just enjoy yourself.
