Is that the one game I keep going on about? I don't think I've been that specific.
CCFC Club in Crisis (20 Viewers)
- Thread starter I was eleven in 87
- Start date

And people are obsessed with majority's and minorities as if that means something.
I relish supporting ccfc.

The only way to sustain increased numbers through the turnstiles is success. Without it the fan base will continue to decline.
We saw a one day wonder crowd at Wembley but it didn't last. Unless we get promotion this year then crowds/season ticket sales will be less next year. That's a fact of football life.

Again. You're the one who started talking about uniting. The majority are. You can try and dress it anyway you like but you're the one unwilling to unite while shouting unite and unable to say how we can unite while shouting unite.

We need to get Joy in the spotlight.
100% agree. My token gesture has been to stop referring to Fisher and SISU, and use Seppala when I'm bitching on social media.
no-one go into the ground until 5 mins before kick off, resulting in a delay and everyone wear Joy masks on the way in.
Agree about going in late. Not so sure about the masks, just because im too cool for that. Im sure many would join in though.
Have a collection outside when everyone is hanging around, going towards a fighting fund to take out an ad in the FT commenting on how SISU capital have treated their "investment" . All fans donate a quid. Call it "a pound for the dogs" reflecting how we have been treated in the whole mess.
Yes, yes, Yes! Get it in the Financial Times. Nick you seem quite tech savvy, do you know how to do a Go Fund Me for this? SISU and Seppala don't even have a Wikipedia page. Does anyone know how to create one?
I still really like to idea of not attending one home game and going to Cov Rugby club, then the next home game, packing the ricoh, showing the potential. Sadly, that simply isn't going to happen now.
I choose not to have a ST this year as I felt like I was legitimising their bad practice. However if that's the plan I'm in. Sure I can get the other 8 that I sit/sat with to make the effort for a one off.

O yes you are, still nothing about the lack of professionalism or glory then.

The majority aren't, that's the thing.
The one thing people should agree on is their love for ccfc, that should be the approach.
Nick

No, I haven't been specific.
If the players were an issue it makes the decision to disrupt games when we were holding on for a result even more silly then doesnt it?

Absolutely agree. Can't believe people go myself.

Tony give it up there are some who will never unite unless it is all on there terms alone.
The groups that were set up to protest have all but disbanded many have stopped going.
Sisu and the minority have won.
No more demonstrations no more whistles no more anything.
If anything is to happen now it is up to them.
God help us.

That's too vague.

Uniting isn't everybody just agreeing with others shouting, it's finding something everybody agrees with.
That's what uniting is, agreement.
If people think the aims are never going to happen they won't back it.

And your first idea is?...
Nick

No it isn't. People are often too wrapped up in anger they forget what they are angry about, the football.
Nick

I've posted plenty over the years. None would get sisu out or claim to.
I've spent hours on emails about them with people too.
Sadly people want to be angry, rather than focused on ccfc.

You know what I'm referring to. How do you suggest this "The one thing people should agree on is their love for ccfc, that should be the approach." Into an idea or an action fans can get behind.
Anyone can say "I think we should make world peace our sole focus" how you get world peace is a different matter.

You've just completely 100% contradicted yourself in that post in your first two sentences.
Besides I would have thought that LAST's post would have cheered you up. It seems we have all united behind you. No one is doing fuck all anymore. You're dreams have all just come true.

Sorry Nick I must have missed them. Can you just give me three to go with. As I've said before, no one action achieves a collective goal, but lots of different ideas will.
Nick

It isn't a contradiction, "you must agree with us" with no listening or consideration of other views is not uniting.

I just meant in this situation, the only thing that will really make them go is money
I think you are wrong. They could have taken money long before now. I think they are ruining the club out of spite to the council. They are trying to make things uncomfortable for Wasps and the council. They tried to make a quick buck and failed. The club isn't actually costing them that much now. If they fluke an upturn lucky them. If it slowly dies, to them so what? They won't pull the plug as they want to be the victim's. But they won't bust a gut to keep it alive either.

So according to you everyone was united against Sisu.
If for one match everyone took part whether they agreed with the protest or not and it was legal, we would have got the message across in one swoop.
But infighting between fans crying because their perticular protest was not concidered or apparently it didn't support the team, played into the hands of our owners.
The fan base is too fractured now to do anything all those that tried to organise different protests including the marches etc have all stopped going to matches.
Well done Nick you and your kind have won, you have the peace you wanted just hope the club can survive so that our grandchildren can have a team to support.

I've spent hours writing ideas of pro ccfc things on posts, some a bit shit, some might have legs.
It wouldn't be aimed at anger, it would be aimed at why people love ccfc, what ccfc means to them.
Even causing the higgs to come to a stand still with thousands going to watch the u23s would send a message and give the younger kids support. That won't get sisu out but statements can be made still by it.
People see anger and sometimes don't want to be around that environment, however (I know it isn't easy to recreate) times like Wembley it's the most United I can remember city fans. The media was forced to be positive about ccfc, the atmosphere was all about ccfc.
It would need taking some of the small positives from ccfc and trying to expand them. The stuff the jsbs and the parties are amazing, everybody can unite behind that. The legacy fund people United behind.
All things that won't make sisu go but are still ccfc.

It's getting harder and harder to see it any other way. If the rumours about Fisher buying the club have any truth that just looks like a continuation of the bitter, twisted, two fingers up to everyone who wouldn't play their game (fans included) regardless of the cost to CCFC policy they seem to have adopted.

So protests cost us 12 points last year that's what we were short?
Nick
Administrator
Me and my kind? The ones who will support ccfc through thick and thin?
Infighting playing into the hands of the owners? I'd never seen the fans in fight until protests, that game where the fans were against one of the protests was pretty bad.
The thing is with it all was no compromise, for example I've said by all means get financial experts and go after sisu in their world away from ccfc. Things like that, I've spent hours writing ideas after being asked for them be groups to not get a reply at all.

The better attended protests are good at reminding people we are still around, highlighting the mess we are in, and may keep people interested in supporting the club, and these are good reasons for them to have happened. However they have also proved that they make negligible difference to the FL, SISU, Seppala etc.

We made a statement at Wembley then. And the very next week fans like you were asking where all the fickle fans are. We did that at MK Dons in the Sixfields season and fans like you were labelling us fickle and franchise supporters. We did that first game back and fans like you were asking the next week where all the fickle fans are. We do it every away game and fans like you label us fickle and financing the opposition to be more competitive than us. Can't win. You talk about unite but drive a divide.

Why don't you go to a game and stand outside handing out leaflets.
Funny the amount of people that bring that up but couldn't be bothered to attend the the protest arranged only 3 turned up You wernt one of them.
