Hello Mr Fisher, nice of you to join us !!! :rage:I remember my old man saying to me "son, in life you will end up with the woman you deserve" it's true you do.
So it got me thinking maybe this is true for football fans, maybe you end up with the team you deserve. For as long as I can remember there has always been an overwhelming feeling of negativity and moaning from a fair few city fans I know. It's like they just love to moan at someone or something.
Yes the club has been run poorly but it doesn't excuse the fact that as fans we have never really got together and tried to drag a squad of players through the crap and stick by them. Barely any ex players have come forward and said yes the fans were great etc etc etc, the reason for this is we never really have the players backs. We're happy to jump on a bandwagon when there's a sniff of Wembley or a decent cup run but when the going gets tough we get a going.
In my opinion I'm not sure we're gonna have a club for much longer until the fans start showing we actually want a club. Just turning up on a Saturday and saying at least I'm here isn't enough anymore, real passion needs to be shown by everyone in the stadium singing shouting or screaming whatever it is.
The club is dying as I don't think our fans really care, the match, it's just something to do on a Saturday isn't it?
I don't think we can blame anyone except ourselves as we have allowed this to happen due to apathy and not really giving a fuck.
Surely now we're down now to fight or flight, what's it gonna be?

So you think there's nothing wrong with, for example, the fact we got 28000 against Gillingham (all we want is to see the city at the Ricoh,and we'll get behind the team, remember)... Then got 10000 the week after against I think Yeovil, in arguably a far more important game for our at the time playoff ambitions (on the back of a win against Gillingham).
SISU apologist, that's a good one, not heard that before. They are a disgrace, and I can't see why they don't understand that the only way to get themselves out of this mess is the invest even a small amount in the fortunes of the playing side.
But the fans who think that SISU "fucking off" tomorrow, will miraculously lead to this club becoming great again, are the ones who are deluded.
A little bit excessive from the OP but I've said before and I do believe that we are part of the problem. So many fans turn up and sit, teeth bared, raring to vent their spleen at the earliest opportunity. This doesn't help. Even last season when we were on a great run. We are clearly not responsible for the mess we're in but we don't help ourselves. The two times we've had any run of success in recent seasons was Northampton where there was a small section of support and no negative atmosphere, and the start of last season when moving everyone together (combined with an early goal against Wigan) caused a positive effect on the atmosphere.

Of course it is.Totally unique to CCFC,
It's pretty obvious the OP has signed in with a new user name. My money's on the OP being someone like Grendel, chiefdave or Nick.
So what proportion of the blame do the fans take ?I probably wouldn't start using real money on your bets then
Is very strange they have signed up, posted and don't seem to have come back again. I will keep an eye to see if they bother to return or if it was just leaving it never to return!
For the record, I agree with the bit about sticking with the team but not the bit about ONLY blaming the fans.
So what proportion of the blame do the fans take ?
Not guilty!My money's on the OP being someone like Grendel, chiefdave or Nick.
No. Not then anyway.Do you genuinely think the council aimed to put the club out of business?
I think it's very harsh to say City fans deserve this team or this club. The main body of supporters have been vary patient and tolerant considering the fact that there has been no sniff of success since 1987 and no top 6 finish in any division since 1970. Imagine if that had happened somewhere like Leeds or Liverpool!
Where I do think we have been far too apathetic is in protesting. We have seen various factions arguing with each other about how best to protest while the club just dies a slow death in the background. A united fan base would have been far more effective in organising marches, sit-ins, protests at televised games, pigs on the pitch, boycotts of cup games and so on. Instead, every time we have a protest, others just moan about it.
,My feeling now is that it's just too late. So many fans have been driven away, just given up and can't be bothered to do anything any more. Unless the remaining diehards can unite to get the owners to walk away quickly, the club is on its deathbed and beyond saving.
And now? I don't get this at all. I have a mate who says that CCC are trying to driver us out of city. Really? Surely they have more important things to focus on.No. Not then anyway.
Definitely engaged in a campaign to drive Sisu out of CCFC.And now? I don't get this at all. I have a mate who says that CCC are trying to driver us out of city. Really? Surely they have more important things to focus on.
They've got a new team now. Look at some of councillors' twitter accounts. Usually tweeting about the great time they have watching Wasps!And now? I don't get this at all. I have a mate who says that CCC are trying to driver us out of city. Really? Surely they have more important things to focus on.
