Getting pathetic now

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-fan-flies-5000-12053652

Bloke tweets he is at the game the other night as he his home for his 50th.

Simon writes he hasnt seen a game for over a year and has flown back for the boycott to try and make out he is coming over just for the boycott.

Embarrassing, writing incorrect articles to promote a boycott. Still people won't see an agenda.

The decision to stay away was made all the harder for Stewart by the fact the last time he saw the Sky Blues play at ‘home’ was at Sixfields during the 2013/14 season.

- wrong

Stewart Craner, 50, has flown from Portland, Oregon, to take part in a planned supporter-led boycott of the Coventry City v Rochdale League One clash on Saturday.

- wrong

Despite not having seen his beloved Sky Blues play for more than a year, the lifelong CCFC fan said he felt he had to miss the match to take part in the planned march and protest for the good of the club.

- wrong

He said: “Even in Portland, thousands of miles away, I was being sent links to the pig protest at Charlton. It has gone global.

- He is on Twitter and speaks to city fans and the trust etc, it isn't 1920 where somebody sent him a polaroid in the post.

That's Gilbert and the Telegraph for you.

covcity4life · Oct 20, 2016

i dont think they thought the anti sisu thing through. they have so little to write about now

Nick · Oct 20, 2016

It's just getting a bit desperate now, to the point things are pretty much being made up.

torchomatic · Oct 20, 2016

"Pretty much". You're being kind.

covcity4life · Oct 20, 2016

soon it will stop being printed and just be a website with non articles like "everything we know about a non league striker linked to chesterfield but who may also possibly come to cov maybe if chesterfield dont buy him , if they are really interested in him in first place"

I know don't know how you have the energy to continue

Skyblueweeman · Oct 20, 2016

Read the article before this thread and though to myself 'well that's worthy of more attention that the actual protest itself'. It's the type of thing you can see on the BBC or Sky websites as a news story which then links to coverage on our plight.

Then I saw this thread. You can't make it up.

theferret · Oct 20, 2016

It's what happens when your entire business model is geared around page views and ad CTR - you can get filler fluff and click-bait.

Telegraph still has a place, major news stories like the little girl who was tragically killed require feet on the ground to cover properly, as does rolling and breaking news - there is nobody else geared up for that, and they have to generate revenues to sustain their business somehow, so you can understand it.

It does help when the articles are accurate though! You just open yourself up for criticism otherwise.

If he had flown over especially, then of course.

Even so, a guy who rarely comes home is choosing to miss a game so is making a bigger sacrifice than most anyway. So fair play to him for that.

I just don't see the need to make things up as that just ruins it. (The telegraph, not him).

He was back in Cov on the 17th, and looks like he didn't know about the Boycott then. So it blows all of the crap written away.

Thing is though, how many people will believe it all? What else is made up to get attention? This is what I mean when I say it misleads people.

If you don't read places like here, you don't have any reason to doubt that article. You are fed things that aren't true.

Yep but as CCFC fans we have been fed information that isn't true by all sorts of different people for all sorts of differing reasons. Including I suspect some of the posters on here !

When a forum member posts something, you take it with a pinch of salt.

You don't really expect a local paper to be making things up to promote a boycott which goes along with their agenda.

Are we talking about the new year announcement again? What was it again? I seemed to have missed it. Is it the third new year coming up I should be expecting this announcement?

Why are you deflecting that the Telegraph are bending the truth?
