Good call but would they leave their seats to come outside and besides the gates would be locked.

good point, didn't really think that through. sounded romantic though didn't it.

If you were on the hill you must be lying as they are all hooligans and not true fans there to watch for free and mud sling.
Those going in the ground are all gentle people who would not say boo to a goose and are only there because they are the only True Fans!!!

Okay, I know I am wasting my time here. 1 - first instance of any name calling was a car load of so - called 'City' fans who exited the stadium following Brentford's 2nd goal - driving past, hanging out of the windows shouting "Hill monkey w@nkers" at people on the Hill. This led to one or two people on the hill calling the next lot of 'loyal' fans exiting the stadium following 2nd goal scabs. A chap responded by shouting "Support the team you b@stards!" and then made his way past people on the Hill continuing with a tirade of foul mouthed abuse. He obviously got a verbal response and never in a million years was there any danger of anyone from the Hill getting physical with him. Next up came some short fellow with a gang of mates sniggering and laughing at people on the Hill. They got a lot of abuse, ie called scabs but no threats of violence. I think it was all of the posters from the GMK fanzine, about 6 of them.
So to sum up, the people who go inside the sixfields started it. Quite frankly, the people on the hill were very restrained and dignified. And fair play to the Brentford fans on the hill. Snidey comments have been taking place for weeks from people going into the stadium, perhaps it is the guilt complex or something?

I'm not sure anyone is saying that. Obviously the car incident would have wound them up, but to start yelling 'scab' at people as they then left is not big and clever, and to be fair, even regular hill protesters have said they were embarrassed. A sorry episode all round really.

 

[georgehudson]

ok then, as you have assumed my allegiance, albeit wrongly, actually !
all parties are culpable, some perhaps more than others, & that's for debate,
perhaps to relay the game in Broadgate, or another suitable public place,
& to grendel, thank you, &
see you next tuesday
CCFC PUSB

And how do you know all the posters on GMK by sight?

 

[RFC]

Far too much nonsense going on and being posted. Lots of very interesting posts and opinions but of course we do have to suffer those who IMHO have an obsession regarding our Owners ( and no, I'm not trying to defend then). Not enough questions have been asked of "Coventry City Council (and the 54 Councillors who voted to 'bail-out' ACL!) WHY? I understand that some people have problems about getting to Northampton and maybe some who can't afford either time, money or hassle involved. I also appreciate how difficult and upsetting it must be for the fans of tomorrow (those youngsters who either play on Sunday or don't have anyone to accompany them.

Personally for myself it's a pain in the 'back-side' but following much heart searching decided to renew my season ticket and was so impressed with the first game, a 5-4 win, purchased another season ticket the following Monday (so either of my sons could attend). They've been to 3 games and have enjoyed more than the majority at the Ricoh!

In fact after the Preston game they both said they'd enjoyed the atmosphere and style of play more than any other game since our last at Highfield Road against Derby.


For the RECORD ...........

I DON'T SUPPORT AND HAVE PROBABLY NEVER LIKED ANY OF OUR Owners, any COUNCIL, STADIA or STADIA OPPERATORS!

I support the Team & Manager and will hopefully do so for many years to come, where ever they play (but hopefully in Coventry in the not to distant future) in a Stadium owned either by the Club or their Owners that has access to ALL REVENUE STREAMS, FIFA Fair Play Rules based on total "Gross Incomes" and not as many posters on here seem to think' profits!

Uwe had done his homework today and following the first quarter of an hour or so when we played like Brazil they more than nullified us and certainly out muscled us but hey-ho onwards and upwards PUSB!

 

[percy]

I will do that at some point for sure. Won't give up on City though, will just do all the away games.

i havent given up on us either, thats why im staying away from northampton. we go they stay we stay they go, thats my take on it

 

[Wiseoldfool]

Just got back from the game never have I been so down in over 50 years getting called a scab when all I want to do is support the team not proud of myself either the way I reacted not sure i wan't to go anymore if this is what it comes to.

 

[RFC]

They won't be going anywhere so you need to re-think!

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Same old shite supporting the team don't really care BUT it is all the fault of the council.
So you do care you want them to play in Northampton as you don't want the owners of the ricoh to get any money so you believe in NOPM

NOPMTTR Not One Penny More To The Ricoh

So we have to own the stadia what if

Sisu Build the ground as they have promised and then Charge CCFC rent would you then support them and go

I'm not so sure....

 

[SkyblueBazza]

Not surprised. A group of people yelling 'scabs' as people left the ground. Could sense it might happen.

I cannot be arsed anymore with all this shit.

It was always going to happen as the numbers on JsH grew...& the frustration & boredom sank in.

SISU will secretly be laughing their socks off as they'll privately claim the "genuine fans" are in the ground peacefully supporting - the others are boycotting matches or inciting the "genuine fans" & trying to scare them away.

Utterly mindless & divisive actions by I would guess a small minority, then it escalates.

 

[mrbluesky87]

I don't need to re-think RFC, never while we play in Northampton will I ever attend, either at the ground or on the hill thus like many thousands of other fans, RFC you will always be the minority and please don't preach to us about how great things are at Sixfields, it would appear we are getting the truth today from fans.

sorry to hear that mate, i support nopm, but having a pop at each other aint good. pusb.

I'm firmly in the NOPM camp. I do not go anywhere near Sickfields. However, each to their own - if you choose to go - then go & don't let a few either tanked-up or simple morons deter you with bullying & threatening behaviours.
I think they will have now killed their own protest & ruined it for the majority of those with them too. Bet the police will take some preventative action next time i.e. Nobody allowed on the hill!!!

Let sisu laugh at the 1670 real fans? you cannot stay in business with those numbers.......

 

[georgehudson]

does all of this adhere to a mantra of 'divide & conquer' ?
by which ever faction you side with ?
from my opinion, i am sick & tired of being treated this way,
as i previously posted, all parties are culpable by varying %'s or degrees,
but, THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT IS THAT,
COVENTRY CITY SUPPORTERS SHOULD NOT BE TREATED THIS WAY

You obviously know the gmk posters.you had better back up your comments with some names,if you can't then keep these allegations to yourself.

The hill is public land Wiseoldfool was abused due to the fact the abusers were abused. He said in his post he didnt like the way he reacted but he did react just as his abusers reacted no different unless that is the people on the hill should be subject to any abuse and just take it

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Exactly take both sides but as usual it is the muppets on the Hill that have to take all the crap.


Time to step it up.

i'm no genius but i'm pretty sure the comment about GMK posters was tongue in cheek, he was saying there are only 6 posters on GMK. think about it.

Actually there's about three with multiple usernames.Smiles has been named on the kcic Facebook page so it's a little more sinister than tongue on cheek

I don't dispute that he reacted...nor that he was given the verbals (lets not toy with politically correct/corporate bllx speak) & maybe threatened too (might even have done some threatening himself) - all serves to escalate it.
Roads are public area's too but if H&S becomes an issue (e.g. Carnivals, Football matches, Protests) they can close them.

 

[Skybluepiglet]

Who cares who said what..when..
Forget about it..go if u must
Protest (with Dignity) on hill
stay @ home if u support NOPM...BUT TREAT EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT.

Remember ..it's the team we love..the politics we hate!!!

 

[RegTheDonk]

Radio commentary said there were Brentford banners/fans on the hill.

Were any of there fans there and, if so, was it solidarity for our position or they just wanted to watch for free?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

It's the scarlet letter branded on their foreheads.

Of course, if somebody abuses you it is human nature to have a go back. The difference here was that a few people chose to have a go at random people leaving the ground, people who had not said a word to them. This was the first time people on the hill have aimed abuse at people leaving the ground, and this is the first time there has been a confrontation, so it's hardly a coincidence. Still a sorry episode all round, and emotions are running high so no point making rash judgements. The people I have seen on the hill have always been respectful, so hopefully today was just a blip. It's sad to hear that people are abusing the protestors though - shouting stuff from a car is playground stuff.

 

[deanocity3]

this is like the bloody miners strike of the 1980's,some doing it because they have too and others doing it because they can.
and that ended up with no bloody mines at all.
this siding with one or the other is killing the club too,NOPM would be abandoned if we were back at the ricoh with otium? yet u still hate the owners so that argument don't stack up.
ah well that must upset someone

 

[Paxman II]

I think the time has come for a mass protest that everyone can get behind - something like the march in the summer which brought everyone together.

No idea what that could be though.

As an aside, I saw a couple of people with red and green bar scarves today. I like that idea, although I know some people are dismissive of it. I would happily buy a job lot and shift them online at cost if I thought people would buy them.

Mass protest should be everyone turning up at the Ricoh on match day in their thousands, not a few standing on a bloody hill getting a free look at the game into the bargain if you want to be taken seriously!

I just got blocked by Keep cov in covs website for calling them childish. Im on their side, There are certain people who are getting a bit power hungry

At the Ricoh in the ground or milling around? If the ground were opened, would ACL/CCC not be beneficiaries- alientating those who favour a more rounded view of the situation.
Its a good idea and one I'd be up for.. but it would need some structure, and an agenda of "events".

The only time I reacted was the first game and that was well documented I go now and stand there the view of the cinema is quitw boring after a time so I just talk to the other people on the hill. I think it was a blip as you put it but your'e also right that verbal responses are natural also drink doesn't help

 

[letsallsingtogether]

wasn't that childish on your part?

Do you know exactly what when on and who started it?
