CCFC PROTEST WAS MINDLESS:
THE KEEP COV IN COV campaign's stunt holding up placards at the Arsenal fa Cup MATCH.
I am a season ticket holder at Sixfields and up to now there has not been any mindless protests against the club and there has been a friendly family atmosphere. Any protests against the club act as a distraction to the team on the pitch and are unwelcome, when everyone should be just enjoying the match and supporting the club 100 per cent.
I should think that everyone in Coventry and Warwickshire and the whole of the football world know by now that city fans are upset at having to ground share at Northampton. So what is the point ? The KCIC campaign has failed because the club has been playing at Sixfields for six months now, and aren't going back anytime soon.
Holding placards saying "WHY" AND WHEN" is mindless and obtuse everyone knows the answers. The club needs to own its own stadium before it can be successful again. The club will be back in the Coventry district in three to five years with its own stadium, unless the council sees sense and sells the ground back to the club, in which case we might be back in August.
Why did they protest on 35 minutes when Broadgate is 30 miles from Sixfields ?. Why didn't they protest on 66 minutes?That is the year when a mob , angry at Jimmy Hill selling George Hudson to Northampton and on an indifferent start to our 2nd Division Championship winning season, demanded that he be sacked?
The so- called protest was counter productive, futile and facile. Why doesn't the Sky Blue Trust and it's off- shoot the KCIK campaign protest at the Labour council? Is it because they are proxies for the Labour Party.
