Fisher's "frightened ball boys/girls" comments on Talksport. (1 Viewer)

Tim made a comment towards the end of the interview today on Talksport in which he said that those people chanting "SISU out" from the stands should perhaps bear in mind that there were ball boys and girls in tears during that game.
In fact I did see one or two children leaving the stand at the end of the game in tears with their parents. I'm guessing they weren't there working for CCFC, but I'm guessing it would not be an altogether pleasant experience for youngsters generally last match . I assume parents were aware that this could be a volatile situation and made a choice as to whether to take their youngsters.

I saw a young lad who was with the dozens of stewards who stood at the front of the stand round about block 21/22 . I'm guessing he must have been 18 but didn't look old enough. He looked very nervous and out of his depth in such circumstances. I felt sorry for him. He didn't want to be there.

I'm quite prepared to listen to Fisher discuss the position of the club's finances and it's relationship with SISU but don't play the child card.

its the fans fault the budget is what it is
its the fans fault that we wont get new owners as we have put them off
its the fans fault that we made our own ball boys / girls cry

its all downhill when the chairman of a product starts blaming his customers !!

Are you suggesting its the parents fault for bringing kids to the game?

I'm sure those that went on the pitch really upset the ball boys/girls with their peaceful demonstration.

Jesus Christ, a successful protest that's got every newspaper and radio stations highlighting our plight, and Fisher tries to deflect this onto upsetting ball boys and girls. I'm sure they've heard worse than SISU OUT at games.

Some ball boys were scared and upset, but again why wasn't it the first thought of stewards to get them away?

When people were moving through the stands did the end up in the JSBs? Hopefully not.

Fortunately someone thought to get the ball boys out of the way pretty quickly, unfortunately they moved them to the Higgs Stand which the protesters moved to later. Hopefully they're all OK and the club will give them another chance to take part.

There were more children crying when there were no games in Coventry for a year.

Remember when Fisher made the decision to use local Northampton ball boys and girls rather than our own and how upset it made our youngsters?

I have heard that some ball boys were frightened and some enjoyed the action.
