Well, myself and NW have had pretty much the same thrown at us, but from opposite ends!
You're onto me I'm a double agent employed by Nick just to keep traffic up.
On a serious point: this is why I find the vitriol spat at me so hilarious. I used to have quite serious arguments with people during the rent strike about how Sisu are just trying to get the best deal for the club, I slagged off Lucas over King with the best of them, yet apparently I'm biased and can never change my mind.
Frankly I wouldn't go in now. Everyone I know is looking at their escape route since Gove came in and undid all the progress of the last 20 years. Maths is the most frustrating subject to teach as well. I had a look at Law as a second (well fourth) career but to be honest it doesn't seem that good once you get there either, I think I've been watching too many courtroom dramas.
Having changed career about as often as City change managers, I can safely say the grass isn't always greener, anyway!

Fun times eh?
Always mused on the irony that a so-called SISU plant has never once said SISU IN... more SISU OUT, and make sure Elliott and Hoffman stay OUT too!
We have been told to go as the atmosphere is great though
I really didn't get the impression people were 'up' for the game beforehand though, if that makes sense? It was all a bit muted, it's a stoic let's just deal with it, as opposed to genuine excitement, anticipation, the buzz you'd get even crossing Gosford Green to Highfield Road.
I would bet a fiver there are more ACL / CCC plants on here than SISU.

The likes of RFC would be my first guess!
Maybe I ought to stick the advert up here. SISU? ACL? If either of you fancy a bit of planting and can pay well, let me know
I think RFC was about before the whole mess on other sites.
It was a joke...

But also a joke with a serious point behind it. For all the shit RFC gets, (s)he's hardly likely to be in the SISU employ, are they? If ever an approach is going to rile people against SISU, that's the one!
while you'd think you'd be absolutely right, sisu have obviously felt first Tim Fisher and then Mark Labovich's PR was a good idea. So it doesn't seem to me like they have any sort of handle on how to make friends and influence people.
It's a very different approach though. Their approach is a confrontational approach designed to create a reaction, and is negative against some action of somebody or something else. It's designed to either introduce doubt or make people think, the negative reaction of some is the fallout of that design.
As opposed to the unrelenting positivity of RFC which, if they ain't a troll, they get my grudging admiration in being able to see the good in just about *everything*!
But it's just so OTT it becomes parody. If there were more doing similar it'd be easier to accept, but there's nobody, but *nobody* else who seems quite so ecstatic about everything!
Apart from Brian LOL!
I would love it if he was just Tim Fisher on a wind up.
The likes of LS, NW and MMM have all been around for ages.
I think Brian pre-dates Fisher, but not sure.
To be honest, the ones that make me genuinely suspicious are the posters that drop in with some "inside info" (like the guy with Labovitch's email the other day). The community is far too small for someone who posts regularly to genuinely be a plant. The likes of LS, NW and MMM have all been around for ages.
More likely would be block upvoting or downvoting on Telegraph stories (has been reported) or exerting pressure higher up the media food chain (Les Reid, David Conn, etc). With all due respect to you Nick, I'm not sure SBT has the pull worth spending money on distorting it.

Just another note: there is a (subtle) difference between someone who posts who is on their side and someone who has been specifically employed to influence social media.
Just another note: there is a (subtle) difference between someone who posts who is on their side and someone who has been specifically employed to influence social media. I'd expect simply because of the overlap between CCFC fans and CCC employees/people who know them that there are far more posters "naturally sympathetic" to the council than to Sisu. This doesn't mean the council have done anything untoward, just that there is more sympathy to them in the community.
Now if someone were to prove that someone has been paid by one side or another, then that's an issue worth looking into.
You might be mistaken, even though I totally agree as this place houses a small % of city fans and yep, you just need to look out for people who just drop in and post something and then do one.
That is scientific Nick. Perhaps they think most of the stuff on here is tiresome bollocks...to quote my wife CCFC fan all her life, season ticket holder pre Sixfields, wage check paid by CCC.
What about employees / directors?
Nah, was more of a hint...
With all due respect, why a hint? Why not an outright revelation?
Because being only 99.9% it's a bit dangerous, there is always that 0.1% to bite me!
No, he is her toyboy (I think)....
Of course people may work as a bin man / teacher or something else within the council, I didn't mean them though as they would have no say at all.
In the past, there have been a few cheeky things here and there which of course I can't reveal. We know that people are reading here though as they talk about it.
You're going to tell me that Grendel is Ann Lucas or something now aren't you?
I creeps me out when you hear that someone (Nikki Sinclair, Clive Eakin, whoever) reads SBT but they don't post. I feel like I'm in a zoo or something.
COME SAY HI FAMOUS PEOPLE! WE'RE HARMLESS!
That would be a time to :claping hands:
It's a shame our privacy laws don't allow Nick to say though... although I have no burning desire to reveal myself even though no bugger knows me and I'm an irrelevance, just because, well... the whole point of message boards is a certain 'privacy' (unless you're bignoj posting his address up on GMK if somebody wanted a fight).
So I wouldn't be over-comfortable if Nick were to unmask anyone, unless it was some blatant subterfuge... even if he could!
