Now we will have the sufc at home game live on sky this is the ideal oportunity to raise the publicity around our clubs demise under sisu and the telegraphs petition.

What ideas have people got for a protest to get our voices heard ?

Ps im awaiting you to knock this Nick

Whatever is done, don't do it underneath the cameras. It would need to be in the main stand where the cameras can see.

Possibly the top tier

Who do you think would care about our situation that doesn't always know about it?

What difference do you think they can make?

Are you aiming this at Sisu? What's the outcome youre hoping for?

Needs to be aimed in a desperate plea to a crazy billionaire that's bored & wants to blow millions on a useless football club with nothing for not a lot in return!

That somewhere in the world will be watching 3rd tier football on a Thursday night in December!

And the apathy and bickering of our fans explains why sisu are getting away with it. I dont usually agree with grendel but hes totally right when he said clubs like leeds would never have stood for it.

Lets all just sit back and do nothing then. But dint complain when theres nothing left.

You raise a good point though nick

 

[tom88]

Still a big fan of a sell out

In front of the cameras with Banners / Paper held ( Like Arsenal Away) with "Look At The Potential" or "Look What You Can Have" plastered everywhere

 

[Nick]

It is just the first point to be considered surely? If cameras are going to be there, where will the cameras be?

 

[KersleyDigs]

Same as Rochdale game I think, boycott the game, gather by Jimmy, chant 'Jimmy Hill's sky blue army' all game.

Protest and watch the game on your sky sports app on your phone.

Potential owners can already see in the archives our ability to get good crowds (Gillingham, Crewe, Chelsea).

Why give SISU a bumper gate as protest designed to hurt them?!

Getting sisu and ccfc confused

Yes, potential owners will see we can get a good crowd for a bandwagon event.

 

[KersleyDigs]

Is a 'sell out' protest not a bandwagon event though Nick? It's not a normal day at the office is it?

It is I guess, but I guess it would be turning out to show support for your club rather than going to be able to get a ticket for Wembley or just to see Drogba.

So the Maddison, Wilson money etc must still be in CCFC's bank account then? Are we waiting to pounce in the January market? Or have SISU drawn that money down like they probably would the £750k in gate money from a sell out. I just don't trust them, our crowds were on the up (above the 'break even' bench mark) before January, yet they did not back the manager in January with meaningful funds. The revision of the break even figure was also extremely one eyed

I hear what you are saying. Jeeeez, when will they leave? can us fans not club together and sue them for stress? Haha

He brought in 13 players in the Winter Window...

Show me where the money has been taken out in the accounts and I will believe you. It's not in the bank because we're making a massive loss and have to sell assets to survive.

There have been a lot of interesting discussions on here lately and the atmosphere has been more conciliatory than usual. One of the good things that has come out is ideas as to how we can hurt sisu without hurting city.

Even the league one chairmen interviewed this week said the best thing we can do is turn up in numbers and make the club a more attractive prospect for potential buyers.

I'm not going to the Rochdale game as it's been designated a boycott. It would be a big statement of fan unity if the trust came out and said pack this game out NOPM people get in the ground and show we love city and hate sisu. Double our average attendance on tv with 90 minutes of loud support and visual protests like those at Arsenal would be a great platform for us.

"Super hero fancy dress" to appeal for a savour / hero

You need to do something to ensure that all the focus is on the crowd. Which is why tennis balls has worked for other fans, as it stops the game and draws attention to the campaign. So, on that theme, I reckon whistles. Easy to take in, coordinated time, ref stops play, cameras show fans all holding up banners saying 'end of the game SISU' or something like that. No-one gets nicked, point made, sorted.

 

[Pipehitterz]

Who was it abroad that draped a massive Banner off the roof

That's the shit we need

 

[skybluetony176]

I think we need to get as many in the main stand as possible as Nick said. We also need to get as many as possible in the ground full stop so SISU out chants etc. Can be heard loud and clear. Aside from the inevitable banners simply dressing in traditional colour of mourning, black could work well. Maybe some regularly humming of the funeral march might be apt as well.

Whistles ?????????

 

[ccfcway]

what about black balloons to signify the death of the club ?

cheap, easy to get into the ground and will be easily seen on tv.

 

[Nick]

It's a night game anyway, so wearing black won't do too much will it? People have dark coats on anyway etc.

wont that make it easier ?

 

[Nick]

It will mean it's a bit pointless, as we might as well say that to protest we are going to breath and blink through the game.

 

[Deleted member 2477]

I like the whistle or tennis ball idea. Stopping the game will have an impact on sky and will get rhe cameras notice. Banners or people dressed in black holding up placards directed at joy to make it personal but no stupid insults like paedo etc just the message of what theyve done to the club

 

[Astute]

I am just going to blame TM, Wasps and CCC for everything

 

[Badger]

I liked Nick's previous idea of the blue wigs and also the black balloons. Both should be cheap and easy to get hold of. TV games do usually have the roaming cameras as well as the one showing the main stand so they would hopefully show the others if there is a crowd in wigs with banners

Whistles would be good so long as it is for a limited time, the problem will be some idiots blowing them continually.

 

[ajsccfc]

I like the idea of whistles, remember that a lot of visual things can just be ignored by the cameras if they want to but you can't really pretend that shrill sound is Peter Beagrie.

At least we know who the old bill will look for if it all goes wrong...

Hahahahaha yeah great idea. Lolololol. I'm going to belittle our fans too. That will help us move forward

I won't be able to come to that game, $%^&&£$$£$%$% it all, but I'm glad the protest theme is gathering steam.

Ideas? Plenty of NOISE. As much as you can muster, lads, get your mate's drum, get your father-in-law's megaphone, don your retro sky blues shirts and get noisy.

Can one of your other accounts come instead?

 

[hill83]

Fill the ground leave at half time.

"But they still get their money" - good, it goes to the club.

"It would distract the players" - I'm sure they'll cope.

That would make a massive statement and we can all crack on earlier with the beers.
