Every other clubs fans think these protests are a good idea and praise us except the fans of the club it is related to. If you and the others who critisize and need an explanation then I ....doesn't matter
I have said all along fair play to people on the hill, whether they hold up a sign or not. They are doing something and were there rain or shine.
I'm saying maybe interact with people who haven't protested to see why, rather than abuse
Time for something more extreme ,at least that's how i was feeling last Night ,It's up to us Old Uns
Have we not tried that already numerous threads on here about what protests should be done where when etc and then the usual protests don't work comments come out.I have said all along fair play to people on the hill, whether they hold up a sign or not.

No, but so far me cutting the lawn with scissors had achieved just as Much hasn't it?
Who has said that people who go to games are better?
Maybe people are worried about being seen on tv and being threatened by middle aged gimps on twitter also?
You seen Shawshank Wingy?
It seems to have been forgotten that a massive amount more of those inside the ground protested, than those who decided it was better to stay at home with a nice mug of Horlicks...
Yeah I remember now. The protest at the arsenal game story was binned in favour of you cutting your grass. The CET stopped covering anything to do with fans protest whether that be KXIC or GCBTR. Oh wait thats not how was. Again. Stop talking shit.
Really?
And again. Really?
You make a good point & tbf I made a point of thanking those that joined in, see post #3. Many of those staying at home say that is their way of protesting.
Where I have a problem is the few hundred that don't seem to give a damn as long as they get to see the game. They add nothing to the cause of getting the club back to Coventry, even when given the chance to join a protest specifically designed to find common ground despite differences on whether to go into Sixfields.
I don't resort to name-calling so I will just say that I find their whole attitude hugely disappointing and they also Let Down the majority of fellow supporters whether Protestors, Boycotters or those unable to attend for whatever reason.

But that is OK we will keep going for a bit longer, we are getting bored and tired off all this shit so maybe we should all just keep quiet and let them carry on killing our club soon be nothing to fight for if our owners are not careful.

I gave out leaflets before the game last night and almost everyone took them and agreed to hold them up.
Personally I think the message and protest got a message out, just look at the media coverage. We even had a Dutch TV crew at the game, they are aware they are having the start of su

If people abused you then it's out of order, people could have taken them out of politeness etc. Could maybe do some sort of anonymous survey asking why. Ask why people wouldn't protest inside.
As said, if I was in there I'd have held a bit of paper up, but others obviously had reasons that they didn't and I doubt it was because they love sisu or want to be at sixfields.
If people want to reply with just the protest is shit then they aren't worth listening to.Some would give feedback.
Did I say anything about the cet? I said it had achieved the same, unless the protests aim was just to get press coverage rather than get us back?
You have done your fair share of criticising people who attended the Arsenal Cup game, the Crewe Cup game, and MK Dons league matches.
You didn't suggest an anonymous survey for those fans Nick did you? I haven't got a problem with people having their own opinion. But I get fed up of your fake reasonableness and claimed innocence on certain subjects.
If you ain't prepared to nail your colours to the mast I suggest your opinion is worth nothing.
Off course the aim is to get press coverage. I'm starting to think you're a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic. It's press coverage that's going to win this battle and the more column inches and the more minutes on TV & radio the quicker the battle can be won. Even sisu understand the power of press coverage. Why do you think they do interviews with the CET & BBC CWR.
Surely the aim is to get us back rather than get faces in the paper? How am I sandwiches short? The protests have got press coverage, what's that achieved?
What the hell are you on about? If you only look at pictures while reading the paper that goes a long way to explaining your mentality. Try reading the words underneath. It's achieved our plight not disappearing without a trace and is the only way us fans have of holding those responsible to account in some shape of form. Rob recognised this hence his independent election campaign. The Trust recognise this hence the Wednesday night protest. Michael recognised this hence his numerous campaigns. You don't recognise this hence you're sandwiches short of a picnic.
Surely the aim is to get us back rather than get faces in the paper? How am I sandwiches short? The protests have got press coverage, what's that achieved?
Ate you saying that we shouldn't try to keep our clubs plight in the media?
What is wrong in not letting the FL and SISU be able to do what they want or to be what is the easiest for them?
What I want the most is that all people that have a share in a football club to be out in the open and not just the 10% of club shares or whatever it is to be published. Would they be happy for people like Joy to destroy clubs on their behalf then?
Yes but what's that achieved? Has it got us back? Which is the aim? Yes it may give people a way to channel feelings and fair play if it does.
Yep. Like I said. Sandwiches short of a picnic.
I guess all those people wasted decades boycotting South African produce in an attempt to secure Nelson Mandela's release and secure equal rights for the black majority. They were just wasting their time according to you, perhaps some just wanted their pictures in the paperr.
As for them poll tax protesters, not a chance they'll ever get that decision overturned and bring down Maggie Thatcher. I'm sure each and every one of them knew 100% that was going to happen otherwise according to you no one would have ever taken part.
I'm now starting to think that the sandwiches which are short of numbers in your picnic are missing the fillings.
I am saying that so far the press coverage hasnt achieved anything in terms of bringing us back has it?
Of course I'd be more than happy be proven wrong and we come back because of a protest as I could request They stock large portions of humble pie at games
Sisu and the fl have done what they want, do I agree? Of course not, but neither give a shit.
Protests should all be about unity, but some of them seem to make divides worse when you get people going so mad because somebody didn't hold up a bit of paper.
Ah so that is where we got it wrong.
We should have stood in front of the mirror and shouted at ourselves?
Pretend it wasn't happening tell no one and it would have changed overnight by itself.
I might try that tonight get all the others to do the same.
Then again we wouldn't be able to agree whether to do it at bedtime or before breakfast or everyday or just a Saturday. Fuck it do it on my own......I'm sure it will work?
I can't remember saying that no protest in the history of the world had succeeded? I thought we were talking about getting us back to coventry?
Nick that is how you sound those are the negative comments we get on here from the same old crew all the time.
Waste of time!
What will it archive?
Who is going to notice!
Who is going to care
Why there!
Why at that time!
Why no media!
Splitting the fans!
No one tells me what to do!
Sisu won't listen!
Sisu don't care!
Trust do nothing!
Trust not fit for protesting!
Trust not fit for not protesting!
Trust should be talking to all sides!
Trust should not talk to anyone!
These are just a hand full of comments that are repeated often.
Yet we are supposed to be the ones dividing the fans.
Sorry but some of you really need to look back at your posts before accusing others of doing this.
I can't remember saying that no protest in the history of the world had succeeded? I thought we were talking about getting us back to coventry?
This is the problem, some people can only see things through a single view point. They don't have to agree, but at least try and see reasoning rather than fly of the handle and get abusive.
So people have asked questions, were they answered to make people see why or were they abused? The genuine questions I mean.I can't remember saying that no protest in the history of the world had succeeded? I thought we were talking about getting us back to coventry?

Maybe if they were answered people might understand more and be swayed. I'm not saying try to brainwash, just try to explain what it may achieve, answer people's questions rather than have a go.
I'm not aiming it at you personally by the way.
Your trying to judge the impact of a protest before that protest has concluded. How is that so difficult for you to grasp? Do you think that any of those involved in the protests I have given as examples new with any degree of certainty what influence that protest would have on any outcome. You're missing the point of protest, deliberately I'd guess.
There is only one view. Coventry shouldn't be playing in Northampton for home games. Michael, Rob and the Trust all agree on this and all have played their part in their own way. I'm sorry if you think I'm being abusive I thought I was just stating the obvious.
So people have asked questions, were they answered to make people see why or were they abused? The genuine questions I mean.
There's only one question. Do you want to see Coventry play it's home games 35 miles away in Northampton.
To be honest the excuses are wearing thin. And the abuse one is about as thin as it gets. Look at the way sisu are abusing your club. This is real abuse and if you love CCFC then they are abusing you. Yet you and a few others ignore that abuse as reason for doing anything while blaming some lesser abuse as a reason for doing nothing. Pathetic.
(edit) I don't know what happened there let's. My comment is @ Nick not you.
