I'm Seriously Annoyed (7 Viewers)

[skybluetony176]

So anybody who has cheered a goal is supporting sisu in some way?

i think you should start cheering the opposition's goals only just to prove you're no sisu supporter.












while you're talking nonsence i thought i might as well join in. wouldn't want you getting lonely.

No, it's not ludicrous. Well, certainly no more ludicrous than some of your arguments.

We could argue against whatever anyone's stance is in this matter. What if you don't go, if you're boycotting? Are you showing you don't agree with the move? Or are you showing that you can't be bothered to protest and shout SISU out? Same with attending. Are you condoning the move or saying to SISU that no matter how they fuck us around, CCFC are still there and I'll follow them regardless? All could be true or not. All could be argued for and against.

I used to go to City with a mate in the 80s and 90s and he hasn't been since GS was manager. I think you'll all agree that he is the REAL hero amongst us. A shining light as he really hasn't given One Penny to SISU.

Maybe he should be Fan Of The Year? Or should anyone who's ever bought a ticket or a single piece of merchandise since 14 December 2007 hang their heads in shame? After all they've been supporting SISU, haven't they?

again another example of taking an argument to a ludicrous level as it's the only way you can argue against it. Not to mention the fact I've said multiple times its the combination of posts here along with the lack of protest their that gives the apperance of support.

football fans in the majority like to sing, the fact that a thousand + coventry fans can be together without singing sisu out or we want to go home on a reasonably regular basis says something.

Well, some fucking idiots did that at the Ricoh when Andy Morrell scored against us. So the idea isn't that stupid.

[Noggin]

yes it's ludicrous,

I say if the majority of your posts are criticizing acl/ccc/people critazing sisu AND you attend sixfields AND you never sing sisu out or we want to go home then you give the APPEARANCE of support or acceptance and your response is does that mean if I don't go to the Russian embassy to protest I support their views on gay rights.

it's ludicrous.

I really don't know what the rest of your post has to do with anything I wrote. Anyway off to do something more fun, you are free to have the last word.

My daughter only came to the odd game, not really her thing yet, but if she wanted to go to sixfields I would sit her down and explain why we shouldnt attend and how it is important to stand up for what you believe in, rather than hide behind her as an excuse to attend. There are other options such as attending away games to get your fix, but there is no right and wrong to parenting we all have our own way. My view is that I want her to grow up balanced and that the easy option isn't always the rift one.

 

[rob9872]

**right not rift

 

[torchomatic]

Balanced? "Sweetheart, if there are people you disagree with just hope they are involved in a car crash. Problem solved".

bore Off torch pathetic. Just you in a car carrying no wisdom rfc and grendul if it so pleases you. Nice to see you mention it for 10000th time I guess it saves trying to respond to the post as usual. Get off forum for five mins there is a whole world outside you know.

Sorry mate. It's a personal decision but I'll never step foot in the place for a "home" game.

Perhaps it would be worth talking to andreasb as he voiced an interest in doing something last season or maybe torch as he tried something last season.

Protesting in suxfields was definitely a taboo subject last season with suxfielders and the mere suggestion that they could be doing something inside only got them jumping down your neck.

Your a sensible chap and possible the right person to mobilise a protest inside. I'm sure it just needs someone to get the ball rolling.

I'm talking to anybody who complains about no protests in Northampton.

There are no protests because that is what the majority want, they are just following what you do.

And I thought the majority was always right? Therefore, no protests within Sixfields is the way to go!

Alternatively, as I have also brought my son up to stand up for what he believes in, I have also told him to have the conviction to make his own decisions, without the influence of others. If my son wanted to attend Sixfields and was content in his own mind why he wanted to, and I felt he had looked at the full facts, I would take him.

Neither of us have been to Sixfields, but I encourage my kids to have strength of mind to make their own decisions, something that will benefit them greatly in later life.

I've also bought my two sons up to think for themselves and to speak their minds! So I feel very proud every time I ask them if they want to come to the pub for a drink and they simply reply "F**k off Dad, you're a pr**k"!!! Love 'em to bits!!! LOL!!!

Stand up for what you believe in as long as I tell you to believe in it!

Just tell them you share the name with the Snail off the Magic Roundabout. That will gain instant respect. Mega swag!!!! or is it mega lol!!!

 

[rob9872]

I tend to agree as they need to make their own mistakes, but what if he told you that he thought he should go to bed at 10pm each night? Presumably you would sit him down and explain why being tired at school is likely to be less conducive to promoting a healthy learning regime. Presumably you would then not accept him saying "I've listened to what you say dad, but I've decided to ignore you".

I think at the impressionable age we should share the wisdom of our beliefs (not in a brainwashed religious way) but explain what we think is right and wrong. They will of course ultimately make their own decisions when they are old enough to do so, but hopeful by putting them on what we consider the right path they will continue. I accept that the route of that path we all have different ideas. In fact for some (probably gyppo pikey types that should upset the lefties) it is likely that they teach their kids to fight and steal and believe they are giving them a head start!

 

[TheOldFive]

Moral decision. It absolutely is not. Its a choice based on personal commitment to follow a leisure activity that charges money. The fact the club has dicked us about by moving to Northampton makes it hard for some people but morality doesnt come in to it. Dont try an elevate this into some sort of crusade about right and wrong.

If you follow your logic I have just as much right to say you have poor morals for letting down the team in their time of need and that demonstrates lack of character and poor judgement. I would never say that of course though.

Well said that man. Just as much as morality has nothing to do with it I should add it's not Political either, just in case some of the swivel eyed libertarian goofballs start thinking of you as their poster boy. (They know who they are).

 

[TheOldFive]

there's an argument that the right doesn't have a strong enough political base when it goes full blown neoliberal free market, so has to tap into base emotions such as religion and racism as it can't win the intellectual argument. Again, it's politics of fear, it's been how you motivate people for centuries.

[rob9872]

Unfortunately most of my 'jokes' are old. Equally many modern things pass me by too. One Direction and that fool Bieber etc. I simply don't see the point of but I am perhaps a dinosaur. The girls in the office are a constant reminder that I'm not 'with it' when they discuss towie and the like, but I'm not sure I want to be part of it if that's the best thing today.

 

[covcity4life]

if your happy for child to go sixfields its gonna be hard to tell them why they cant support man utd or chelsea etc i would imagine. they wont see football as a local/community thing.

i lost a bet a few weeks ago, and i had to go out to my pool league and then a pool tournament wearing a t-shirt with a massive picture of justin beiber on.... there was around 100 people at the tournament and i had the piss ripped outta me all night lol
just before we went out, my daughters boyfriend came round to borrow something and he couldnt stop ,laughin at me my mates kept playing "baby baby baby(or something)" on the jukebox

 

[turlykerd]

i would be stoked if my son wanted to see city play.i would be proud to take him to a game.he wouldnt go to Northampton though , cause id be paying .

unfortunately he doesnt give a shit about football, all he cares about is girls and skateboarding

 

[SIR ERNIE]

The sanctimonious drivel spoken on here is wearing me down.

Lets get a few things straight;

Sixfields is a poor ground compared to the Ricoh.

The atmosphere is terrible. It's at best a reserve game when people used to go to reserve games.

All fans who go do not support sisu or "the plan" (whatever that is) just the team over the 90 minutes they are there.

The game being played out will be played our regardless of attendees. The fact players are being signed at least indicates the club has a 2 year future. I lament the day we ever moved into the infernal arena and sold the one asset we had but we must have 2 years. I hope they are in coventry and not sixfields but either way I'm going to as many games as I can.

The team needs supporting. Nothing, NOTHING will change the stance of both sides in this war.

If people go and want to protest then do so but apathy and casual ambivalence is no longer an acceptable argument as isn't nopm.

130 years of history isn't going to be flushed away if people want to continue the support.

No more threads about those going to sixfields - let's let bygones be bygones.

Thinly veiled " I haven't been getting much attention since I backed the wrong horse in the JR, so as I don't actually give a toss whether we play in Northampton or Coventry, I'll start an argument about Sixfields" thread.

 

[torchomatic]

Eh? Utter nonsense. Continuing to see his team separates him from other kids in his class who support Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and even Barcelona FFS.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you too.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

I too would take my Son if he wished to go unfortunately I would stay outside till the end of the game to take him home.

Unluckily he has about given up on the City, he never even went to one away game last season.

What? so now you are saying that he is a better fan than the others you mentioned because he gets taken to watch them? (just doing what Nick normally does )

 

[torchomatic]

Christ, even I'm confused. CC4L said taking him to Sixfields would make it easier for him to support someone else. I'm saying that's nonsense. Nothing to do with being a better fan. However, I'm pleased he doesn't support Barcelona or Red Star Belgrade as he wouldn't go and see them very often.

Has anybody come on here and said they think sisu will win the jr? Or that they want them to?

...until we agree a temporary deal to play in Belgrade for three years?

Better if it was by the Belgrade?

Took my 10 year old to quite a few away games excellent atmosphere were at Walsall Vale Shrews Arsenal - Sixfields from what I gather is souless and would not continue his passion for the sky blues.

 

[torchomatic]

I took my son to ten away games last season and all home games from end of November. There's no doubt the atmosphere at Sixfields is poor; not surprising as there's hardly anyone there, but it certainly hasn't dampened his enthusiasm for Coventry City. Every person is different though, aren't they?

[Travs]

I think the atmosphere at away matches was pretty poor last season. Admittedly i didn't go to the three 'big' matches, Wolves, MK and Arsenal..... the atmosphere at Port Vale was superb, however some of the others were sadly lacking in comparison to previous seasons. This is surprising because in general the numbers we took away were superb.

 

[Moff]

Unluckily he has about given up on the City, he never even went to one away game last season.

At present my lad hasn't wanted to go to Sixfields, but if he did I would go in, because he would want me with him for the match experience, and above all else his happiness come first...although this is hypothetical at the moment, and I do respect others will be different, for a multitude of reasons including the age of their child.

My lad and daughter both see their support as still fully for the club, but want us home and want to see us in Coventry not Northampton.. They are only 13 and 8, but they already know they could never support anyone else, not if they want to avoid living in the shed
