They're standing on the hill with flags aren't they?

 

[skybluetony176]

Pitch invasion is a silly idea that I won't be taking part in.

I like the red card idea myself.

 

[torchomatic]

Not heard about this. Who's organising it?

 

[wingy]

The focus should be the redundant Fisher ,the contagen that will prevent healing as long as he's present .

 

[Nick]

I dont know who is organising it, I had an idea something was going to happen when certain people were asking a few times about it being on TV that light bulbs had come on.

It is quite hard work reading it as they just keep posting the same stuff over and over....

There's been some murmuring's on facebook plus I think it was suggested and discussed on here but not on a dedicated thread. I guess Nick is really up for this as he's clearly a ring leader

 

[Nick]

If there is a red card on the seat I'll hold it up when everybody else does as it is hardly going to break my back is it. No pitch invasions or anything, I will have a 5 year old with me and unlike the absolute prick behind us the other week who was teaching his kid how to say the C word, I'm not really into anything too drastic.

 

[Jackoskyblue]

Don't see the point in protesting anymore it's obvious they won't listen to us and obvious they aren't going anywhere soon. If we put half the effort into supporting the team as we do organising protests we might actually create a decent atmosphere at home games. I'm fully sisu out by the way but the players needs our support more. I hope people don't go on the pitch it's on sky and it will be an embarrassment to our club and our fans

Red card idea I would join in with as you say it's no effort but anything else then it's a no from me

Bang on!

The only thing I can see is that certain people get involved in these protests and then wonder why SISU don't speak to them....

If it is hold a red card up, the cameras will be above the old tesco stand anyway so won't get any of them. It would probably show some from family stand and the corporate bits...

 

[torchomatic]

Sorry about that, Nick. It was the last one on the list.

Can't see how some people are allowed to have kids If my 5 year old came out with that word I would be absolutely devastated, wouldn't start correcting her on how to say it properly.

When in actual fact a decent owner would see a protest as a good reason to talk to any fans or groups organizing it.

It depends on the protest doesn't it

 

[Bennets Afro]

What is the protest going to be? a sit in? pitch invasion? red card? I think some clarity is needed, else it will just be a few singing SISU OUT songs and won't achieve anything

 

[skybluetony176]

It depends on the protest doesn't it

So what protest has there been that could be classed as an acceptable reason for the owners to not talk to a specific group of fans or if you prefer customers?

 

[Evo1883]

Meh , im just going to sit in my seat with my coffee and watch it all unfold , i wont be getting involved quite simply because i cant be arsed

The one about moving a club away while most of them support another club being moved by going to watch kind of takes any credibility away

Being on TV shouting we want sisu out and calling them all names and then wondering why they wont talk to you is a bit strange though isn't it? We pretty much know it won't achieve anything, surely it is just going to burn bridges more with the club?

I agree that SISU should be open to talk to fans groups, but it should work both ways.

I'll want to find out whats happening and when so I can see if I can avoid it if it is nasty / aggresive as I don't want my daughter being scared to go to the football or a bit confused. If it isn't at all aggresive or angry then it is fine!

 

[torchomatic]

Didn't take you long to derail the thread, Tony.

 

[Nick]

Hey tom we know for a fact there is people willing to take CCFC on if sisu decided to leave no one will try and buy us for millions no but if sisu were realistic and wanted rid of the club then we know of possibly 3 and definitely 2 consortiums that would try and take over the club !


Don't lose site of what our protest is about
Don't think for one second we are just doing this protest towards sisu to say 'go'
because we are more than certain they are not going anywhere so our protest is more about how bad they are running this club and how bad they are treating all of us fans
We are sick of the lies and the failed court cases and the point deductions and transfer embargo's and the zero proof or no evidence of this new ground and the fact that they are saying it will be built outside of coventry as well as many other things!
We are not happy !
As much as we would like them to go the protest is not just about that it's about the running of the club like we have just mentioned !

I wonder who these consortiums are?

 

[Godiva]

I wonder who these consortiums are?

Hoffman & Elliott most likely at it again.

 

[torchomatic]

Who wrote that, Nick? Another blinkered protest. Not a word about Wasps and their relentless emblazoning of rugby club logos and how they got there.

 

[Nick]

That was by the "SISU OUT" accounts promoting the protest etc..

 

[torchomatic]

Ah, makes sense. I wonder if they belong to one of the other organisations?

[Nick]

Another:

We are not in contact as such with consortiums but we are told of possibly 3 that want CCFC if sisu decide they want out .
The only way any new owners could make more than match day revenue is build a new ground or do a deal with wasps and take on half there debt of there Ricoh deal or maybe the wasps consortium themselves are people waiting in the wings to see what happens next for CCFC and Sisu

I am not sure what take on half the debt of the ricoh deal means...Surely if Wasps wanted to do that they would have let CCFC buy the other half?

You would like to think that people organising protests would actually have a clue about what they were talking about, wouldn't you?

If there is a protest shouldn't there be an actual aim? I could understand Sixfields as it was to get the club back to Coventry.

 

[torchomatic]

Ah, so they are "told" that there are "possibly" consortiums. They even say themselves that new owners may want to build a new stadium!

Yeah, so in other words it is just a "We hate sisu" protest.

It could be that it is the new PR company being genius to get more tickets sold

 

[torchomatic]

Which is fair enough, but they seem to be trying to make it something else.

Yeah, so in other words it is just a "We hate sisu" protest.

 

[Nick]

There is noises being made that the wasps consortium and local cov business men are looking to join forces to takeover city if sisu decide to go Which would be ideal as we will be rid of sisu and we will stay at the Ricoh with the wasps and it will be both our grounds
But that is a rumour so we don't want to touch on rumours to much and give fans false hope
Regards to our plan and protest for the Swindon game we have two meetings today with 2 different sets of people and we are going to pit our ideas against each other's and go from there
We still need to speak to Swindon supporters group to and hopefully that will happen later today to but once all of that is done we will post the details as many place as we can and get even more people on board !
We will then be happy to meet CCFC fans off here and ones that are not on here to talk and get other views from you lot as well

Didn't the wasps guy straight out deny that?

Local Business Men..... Fans protesting to get sisu out and local business men in ...... Sounds like a massive deja vu!

[Nick]

It does all fit in place.

I wonder if there was any promise of fan ownership involved???
