City fans critising those for invading pitch (1 Viewer)

Captain_Slackbladder · Aug 3, 2013

Who do you think you are??? These are desperate times, football is a game of emotion and city fans have had enough.. brand it as thuggery if you want, any publicity of this type of behaviour I would view as positive publicity - if this gets on sky sports I think the majority of the football world with sympathise with Coventry supporters. Those taking the moral high-ground on this want to wake up and smell the coffee. Anything that may force SISU to u-turn to the Ricoh is good news and this will create negative publicity they won't want - a picture in a news paper of fans invading the pitch with a caption of "Coventry fans reacting angrily against their clubs ownership" will generate good publicity.

I forgot you aren't allowed to protest these days...

Spot on pal. Too many do gooders. What happens at football stays at football.

ccfc92 · Aug 3, 2013

What about everyone storm the pitch at Northampton? And sit on it. No aggression so that keeps the do gooders happy, plus gets attention.

mrbluesky87 · Aug 3, 2013

Although I agree it should be all or nothing. If it's just 3 people it's nothing more than kids or alcohol induced however if all of the fans did it then it would send a strong message. I don't like pitch invasions bit these are desperate measures for desperate times.

Because they are fucking idiots that make us look like mugs

wozey · Aug 3, 2013

And it's a criminal offence

wozey · Aug 3, 2013

Your thread endorses criminal activity and therefore should be removed by the admin

andyboy81 · Aug 3, 2013

To be fair, its the PERFECT time for them to get a banning order

when does it become a criminal offence, during the match ,afterwards, midnight ,it's not at cricket grounds, rugby,golf so why soccer.

We will not get more sympathy from the football community. We will be thought of as hooligans and thugs. We need to be better than that. A lot, lot better.

SkyBlueBlood · Aug 3, 2013

Totally condone it and tell the Football League to expect a season of civil disobedience because if they don't respect their rules why should we.

Bring it on.

Because you don't get fighting and vandalism at the cricket grounds, rugby or golf...

Yes ;-) plus at away days

KarmicChris · Aug 3, 2013

Pitch invasion every match. That'll make people sit up and see. Enough of these pundits being on tele saying how they feel for us and it's a terrible situation down at Coventry. What's being done?

I cannot condone violence but "running on a pitch" is hardly that.
Any sort of illegal act has to be discouraged but this thread is not condoning it. Rather it is commenting on it and those who take a dim view.

Nevertheless, Cov said "Cov in Cov" and they did that within the law, dutifully and with respect.

Nobody listened.

Cue today. Who is culpable?

CCFC PimpRail · Aug 3, 2013

I think the next pitch invasion should be a Conga line. Good comedy style in a peaceful manner, and difficult to break up as you only end up doubling the number of conga lines or spend ages dragging people off the back.

I'll be at the front wearing a Kevin Bacon mask. "Time to put this conga into reverse....!"

jesus-wept · Aug 3, 2013

It isn't the way as tempting as it is. Put 10000 on the pitch and it still wouldn't change a thing. We have to hope the process and investigations expose who is to blame for all this.

ajsccfc · Aug 3, 2013

City fans criticising those criticising the pitch invaders, who do you think you are???

I forgot you aren't allowed to criticise these days...

WillieStanley · Aug 3, 2013

All it means is that now I can't take my daughter to away games for fear of her safety as well as not going to "home" games... Cheers fellas!!

Pitch invasions are great ideas*

*if you're 14, have had their first beer and thinks they're the big man.

leicesterskyblue · Aug 3, 2013

If we got banned from home games would that just be Northampton???:thinking about:

A mass pitch invasion would work better, but there would always be some idiots that make it not peaceful unfortunately.

However a more comical/light-hearted publicity stunt ( the black balloons at Nuneaton were good) would be better. Fathers for justice style....maybe we all ride through coventry in skin suits??

This gets the award for the most sensible post on this thread, pitch invasions are not a good form of positive press and yes we will lose sympathy and support from other clubs without doubt, do something more acceptable to the wider footballing community and keep them on our side.

Captain_Slackbladder · Aug 3, 2013

I don't buy that. For as big and good as the protest was in Coventry a couple of weeks ago it received very poor media coverage in my opinion. I think the wider community are on side and I suspect that a sit-in protest in the centre circle at the start of a match would draw wide support from the football community. I cannot imagine anyone not supporting that mass action who is a genuine football fan.............

Of course this post in no way condones such action at all and I wouldn't encourage city fans to do this

Those going aren't likely to that...firstly they'll do well to get that many, secondly, they're the ones prepared to back SISU's move, aren't they?

A mortar bombardment of the boardroom from the hill means you don't have to pay to go in...sounds much better to me and undoubtedly makes a statement.

cv3 · Aug 3, 2013

On holiday at the moment. What happened. How many invaded for how long?

Mick Scoop · Aug 3, 2013

There are better ways to make your point, this is a stupid idea with no logic to it at all and will get the wrong type of media coverage i.e Negative
