I’m not going to become engaged in a drawn our argument on this but will just say my piece here. There is absolutely no proof that any of the protests at games cost the team any points. The truth is that the team that season was abject and had no problem in losing games protests or not. It’s ironic that the game where both sets of fans disrupted proceedings, Charlton away, we lost 3-0. Obviously the protests affected only one side that day, us.
Sisu have not changed. They are still the worst owners we have ever had in my opinion and do not care about our club or our fans.
The fact is that at the moment the obstacle to us playing in Coventry are Wasps, who are equally odious. Like Sisu, but perhaps even more so, they do not like negative publicity. A protest inside the stadium, particularly if the game is televised, I am sure they would hate. It doesn’t need to be disruptive of the game necessarily, as the point would be made simply by a big enough group making a loud enough noise. Disruption of the game may even be counter productive as it may be used as another reason that they could use to prevent us returning. “CCFC fans are hooligans. We won’t have them “our” stadium”.
I would make no apology for supporting the protests that happened against Sisu. Our situation both on and off the field was desperate and a large proportion of the blame can be laid at their door. To expect everyone to simply lie down an accept what was going on would have been as wrong then as it would be with Wasps now. Wasps have got off far too lightly and hopefully the heat will be turned up on them now.
