The protest was done brilliantly in front of the cameras.
There is now no doubt that fans do not support CCFC and the evidence was the number of empty Sky Blue seats.
Fans are voting with their feet on the whole SISU management issue.
Have you watched the Sky Footage back? Do you not think that if say everybody protesting sat in the stand opposite, it would have done a better job?
Maybe this is the issue, people will just say "brilliant" because it was aimed at SISU without actually thinking about things.
"I just went outside and shouting SISU out at passing cars"
"fucking ace mate, hero" - like,like,like,like,like,like
"why did you shout at cars"
"at least this fan cares and is doing something"
I think pretty much every fan looks forward to the day we're rid off SISU but perhaps holding up "GO" on sheets of red paper is a waste of time as the message is pretty much a given.
Would a better idea be to have "GONE" on pieces of white A4 and stick them to the empty seat's (or as many as possible) to demonstrate our dwindling fan base, surely the one true measuring stick of SISU's tenure.
Where are the Trust in all of this?
They say that they were not involved with this - fair enough. Yet several people in the Trust hierarchy constantly pandering to these fuckers on social media.
Right now SISU have said there is a new stadium in the pipeline. This is where the focus should be. Protest on wanting details and concrete evidence for the fans and the support will be far more than this divisive approach.
This needs to be 100% focus of the Trust right now. Engage in proper dialogue with the club (use their own 5 point plan against them) and get something tangible for thefans to get behind.
It was worrying when the leader of the protest was trying to force people to move behind the goals at HT Monday night stating they was not being seen on the TV due to the camera being above.
Well it only took 2 weeks to relies something so plainly obvious, only a bunch of 13 year olds followed
What did the leader look like?
Would be interesting to know who that was.
Like you say though, people have known where the cameras are since it opened. It isn't something new.
I go to alot of games home and away ( no this does not make me a superfan blah blah) but Id never seen him anywhere before.
So someone not seen before and who don't know where the camera's are?
SISU-Out doesn't work for me. Their administration of the club has been nothing short of a disgrace. But, it's equally clear that the rot started well before they arrived. We should have entered administration and renegotiated the Ricoh contract at the time the arrived in town 7 years ago. When they didn't take this opportunity to effect a sea-change, everything thereafter has been failure built atop failure. But that trend began back in the 1990's.
For me, any campaign has to have two issues addressed; SISU Out - then who in? With what model? No-one is going to roll into town in a hurry given what's left. Secondly, acknowledgement that out current position isn't wholly of SISU's making. Yes, they've made a bad situation worse, but it's not all their doing.
A simple word that encapsulates 'where we are', compared to where we should be, like 'disgrace' or 'cheated' - maybe even 'truth' (as in let's have come honesty) would be a much better rallying cry. Much less divisive across the SISU-CC-ACL-Higgs-Wasps-whoever 'camps' too - as nobody can be really happy with where the club is, surely?!?

Totally agree, a "middle ground" which everybody could agree on should be worked out and found (ie. just wanting the club to be looked after and run properly) and work on getting a bit of unity between fans. Forget SISU out for a minute, get the fans together as one on something they can agree on which is wanting the best for CCFC. Once all fans are on the same level then it will only grow won't it?
That was my point about these consortiums they were going on about, let us see how good they are and then many more people will be behind them when they can see there really is a fantastic other option to SISU wanting to come in.
Also agree about the acknowledgement of other parties, SISU have done more than their fair share of fucks up but when you have people quite incorrectly laying blame for things (some things didn't even happen) in their statements it just makes it look like it is done through hatred doesn't it. Just simply lay out the facts and keep it down the line, sometimes the facts can have a bigger impact and paint more of a picture than the silly over exaggerated spun stuff can't it?
Another thing is that when you label something as a protest it instantly puts people off. I got hammered last time for saying do something "fun" that everybody will join in. Make it about CCFC the football team rather than SISU the hedge fund or CCC the council. If it was just something where people are showing they care about CCFC (rather than showing their dislike for other parties) then more people would be involved wouldn't they?
Going to that JSB party seeing all the kids having the times of their lives and a few parents then I think that would be a great way to go. Have some sort of event where people are showing their love for the football, rather than the hate. I know it isn't exactly a fun time for CCFC Fans, but I think that one big set of people gathering to show their love for CCFC could make a bigger statement than a smaller groups gathering to show their hate for other parties.
If a community wants to make a stand against the local pub being knocked down, they don't aim it with hate at the people knocking it down, they make it seen how much they love that pub don't they?
But Rome wasn't built in a day and perhaps this is just the start. I suspect a sisu out campaign will get plenty of support once it is up and running properly. Those who want to remain in the control of sisu could always start a sisu in campaign
And that sort of silly logic is why things don't work. Who wants sisu in?But Rome wasn't built in a day and perhaps this is just the start.

Second agree in a row. (Sits down). With no idea of what's next; 'SISU out' is a bit like a teenage Kevin and Perry shouting 'I hate my Mum, I wish you were dead', whilst still expecting her to cook your tea
Read behind the lines, it means if we get 20k less than gillingham it will be all down to their protest."We stressed time and time again that the next protest had to be a NOPM style protest because our members of the group think it's vital that all city fans can take part and get there message across to sisu and not just the fans that go into the ground! "
Oh and that is just genius - a protest especially for the "fans" that cant be arsed going to the ground. This group just cant stop giving can they.
