Well they don't collect any money as has been proven repetitively. Sisu took us to the top of the league then by your logic, how can Mowbray take credit for being top but sisu get all the shit for us being bottom now? Mowbray sold good league one players for no reason and left himself too much to do in the summer. That's why we are bottom now. Of course sisu do play a part but our budget isn't 24th in the league and all they're doing is letting us be sustainable. More fans = bigger budget. Unfortunately you can't really run a club that way when crowds are dwindling every week but atm we have no alternative.

Sisu are to blame for a lot and I would love for us to be taken over by someone else but that someone else isn't out there at the moment unfortunately

Loan players took us to near the top of League 1 not players that TM subsequently sold.

I have just run out of socks :bag:

Do it online, print them off at home or somewhere. Easy.

It is, but he wants the tickets in his hand, ready so he don't have to worry about anything. I told him about printing them too.

Yeah, they get emailed instantly so even if he doesnt have a printer there and then he can just pop round to somebody who does have one before then! Saves pissing about and queuing up.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Really? Absolutely pathetic.

The worst thing is, I bet a load of "protesters" will probably be attending their first game, have no care for the football and just want a chance to brag to their mates.

We've done the pitch invasion, twice in fact, can we just get behind the team in what could be a massive week for the club.

Also, I hate the whole threat culture - 'things will happen', 'no more being nice' etc - it's playground stuff to sound "well ard". If something is happening, say it - it's already having a detrimental effect as fans are keeping kids away from both games based on these throwaway comments.

I'm going with my 10 year old

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

There's no guarantee nothing is going to happen, and the murmurs and the "get used to it" comments about silly goings on don't really inspire confidence.

You have people saying how it;s time to not be nice and step up the action, get used to it etc. All that shite. It is putting people off taking their kids sadly.

Hopefully you will be right and nothing will happen

I really hope something will happen. Nothing criminal obviously but the court stuff again and the lack of any communication is disastrous

 

[skybluebeduff]

The problem is it's a school night, that's put people off taking the kids, if any protests do happen they won't be bad, not like Sheff Utd or Northampton. Unless we go 3-0 down in first half, then I wouldn't care anyway because i'd piss of to the coach and horses for a few and head home.

Why? What will it achieve disturbing matches?

 

[Mcbean]

These doommongerers just want CCFC to fail spectacularly - if it does - start planning shopping as it will be no phoenix this time - just stay away if you not interested in watching the football

 

[hutch1972]

To be fair, it takes a couple of mins to purchase tickets online and get them sent to you. The difference in time between this one and Crewe shouldn't make a difference.

How shit we are compared to then on the other hand...

My point was more about people's interest in the game rather than the ticket purchase.
Had ticket sales gradually increased over a couple of weeks then supporters interest would improve.
I still think that had the game gone ahead in 3 weeks we would have had a far healthier crowd. Having said that by this seasons standards it will still be large.

 

[shmmeee]

Makes me wonder sometimes of the conversations with mates some people have.

Do others not rip the piss out of their mates about everything and anything? Even things like if they have had their hair cut, bought a shirt that's awful and things like that?

Jesus, the amount of times I've typed a mum comment but then deleted it because I know it would cause absolute rage.

I just take hills posts as that.

Thing is, for people like us that have been on here for ages and get on, it can be bants. If it's someone who is a constant nob (*cough* Grendel *cough*), or who doesn't have years of history to understand where people come from it's more like a stranger in the street coming up and saying something. I'm well aware I've spit my dummy out on occasion BTW.

Seriously guys, how are we going to sort out the super fans from the vile individuals who, seeing football as entertainment and something you pay for, choose which games they fancy attending. We need some way of marking them. Me and my lad will be there both games but my stepson, who has a season ticket and was with us at Northampton, won't be. We're taking one of my lads mates who goes when he can. Shall I mark his face with some red paint to denote him as glory hunting scum with no more right to breathe God's pure air than a weasel.

Everyone has the right to go, or not go, to any game they fancy.
My only condition is that, for high attendance games, ST holders and regulars should get first dibs on tickets.
After that it's a free for all and I don't care how many casuals go... as long as they don't spend five minutes discussing who's sitting by who, and then get up after another five minutes to buy a hot dog.

 

[skybluebeduff]

No queues at all at the moment.

the casuals I know who go moan about a ticket for a tenner but fire down 5 pints of luke warm beer at silly prices and buy hot dogs and burgers.

That tenner is 2 more pints though Nick. Which is vital in any circumstance.

 

[ajsccfc]

I'm always taken aback by the amount of people who wander round at the start of a game looking at their ticket before realising they're in the completely wrong block. I might just know where I'm going by habit alone but surely everything's pretty well signposted?

I had a bloke stand and argue with me for about 5 minutes I was in his seat. He was adamant I was in his seat and was going to get the stewards. Until he realised he was 3 blocks out.

the blocks are numbered before you walk out of the concourse.

Do we still sell food?

The worse thing is that 5 warm pints are more enjoyable than watching us ATM.

I have just run out of socks :bag:

I ran out of socks but just had a cup of tea with Baldrick.

Sorry just had to name drop .... oh and when I say 'with' I mean we sat on the same table at the British Museum cafe.

It's still 'with' though isn't it?

 

[Nick]

So why not just have 5 cold ones in a warm pub that's cheaper?

1 bloke didn't even leave the concourse against Crewe when he came last.

Make sure you politely turn him down if he offers you coffee, and definitely no milk and sugar

He didn't just offer me coffee, he offered the frothiest coffee from Frothville Main Street, Frothvilleshire, Planet Frothy.

Sorry Nick, but in my defence I had forgotten my glasses.:emoji_nerd:

 

[pastythegreat]

Well, mine aren't. Why would they? They'll be loads of kids at both games. Fully expect both games to pass without incident, at least without any incidents that might be regarded as intimidating.

Since SU, nothing has happened during the games at home, aside from the odd chant. Protests have been after the game. I'm not saying nothing will happen between now and the end of the season, but on Tuesday particularly there will be a collective will to ensure protests do not disrupt the game in any way. Idle chat on social media is just that - I think the atmosphere on Tuesday will be very positive. Just my opinion.

I hope your right!

I'm looking forward to sitting next to the bloke who keeps saying 'fucks sake Baker - you can't pass 2 yards to your own player'

I haven't got the heart to tell him.

Nothing at all. But you think the Sheff utd fans were pissed off at the game being disrupted? Even block 16 muppets ain't stupid enough to try the same with Millwall?? Unless the stone Island brigade are in of course

Sheffield United fans singing we love sisu nearly made enough people cry as it was.

 

[Steve.B50]

Is there a protest planned for Tuesday?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not that I am aware of.
Suggest we all try and get behind the team for this one.
I believe the club have turned down some ideas to improve the match day experience, so its just down to those attending.

Why are the crowds dwindling?

Surely you could have saved 5 minutes of your life by pointing out he was in the wrong block before he realised?

I didn't know until he eventually got his ticket out.

And did he have a cunning plan?
