Why should fans who want to watch their team play get criticised for going to Sixfields? Probably our most high profile fan Kev Monks goes there because he wants to watch his team play.

Do you really think anybody really wants to go to Sixfields? They go because they want to watch their team play. By not going will not mean we go back any quicker

Ha what media, they show 20 seconds of goal action on a Saturday night and we never get a mention on midlands today. No one buys the Cov telegraph anymore and we rarely get more than the score in the national papers.

No it wasn't aimed at you it was a general reply

Yeah, fuck it, might as well give up, eh? And you wonder why Sixfields fans sometimes attract criticism...
That song is sung to drive the team on not for any motives against the owners

Acutally, I do wonder because they shouldn't.
I don't see it as hypocritical at all, to me it shows that distance isn't the issue, the issue is that's it's wrong to take a club from its home City for no good reason.
I know there are a lot of people on this site who are chomping at the bit for a 'phoenix club' but I'm not one of them. When the club's gone that's me finished.
limoncello, I really understand your position on Phoenix Clubs but I'm surprised that you don't see the facts for what they are.
You're already supporting a Phoenix Club. The CCFC that won the FA Cup and had the history rested in Coventry City (Holdings) Ltd through itself or CCFC Ltd. With CCFC Ltd going into liquidation and Holdings now being run down / struck off (if that happens) the fact is you're already supporting a Phoenix Club.
Otium has no history of being Coventry City Football Club. They were allowed to buy the branding rights and a few assets from the club with Football League approval and were given the Football League golden share. That doen't make them Coventry City. Due to money and the status of CCFC when it went into administration, Otium start up in the third tier of the Football League. How lucky are they?
To be honest I am really struggling with the current situation. I want to support the club but the club I followed for 40 years was tossed aside by SISU in favour of 'branding rights and a new startup'. I do understand fans feelings either way. But 'historic' Coventry City has gone. That's a fact.
I wasn't suggesting otherwise. I was hoping to remind you and other sixfielders why they are Coventry fans. They seem to have forgotten. Sitting in silence is not a Coventry fan. I'm from rugby and I got on the CCFC band wagon after my first visit to HR in 92. It was the sky blue army that ignited my flame.
That flame seems to have gone out at sixfields.
However, if it was one of the Sixfield attendees giving shit to CCFC fans simply handing out WHY/WHEN posters on Friday then they deserve an awful lot of shit. I remember the CCFC fans on the hill getting shit despite only a few who were initially calling Sixfield attendees names (and it happening back the other way). The criticism of name calling needs to be balanced, does it not?
It's "fight" isn't it?
The notion for me that once CCFC are gone that's me finished, just doesn't compute.
I am a Coventry kid and love my football team. If CCFC no longer existed and a phoenix club emerged in their place, they would automatically become my team. They would still be Coventry, just not Coventry City.
It's "fight" isn't it?
Disagree with you RT. For me the answer is to have 1,500 City fans turn up at Northampton every home game and 10,000 turn up outside the Ricoh.
That would clearly say the club belongs in Coventry. People turning up on the hill outside Sixfields for some could be simply be perceived that fans just don't want to give Sisu any money and want to see some of the game for free.
YEs, so say that to the name callers, not to me.
Depends which version.
The original, as written by JH was "sing", but over the years the version sung by the fans changed to "fight" - probably during the 70's
So take your choice.
My point is more that they would be Coventry City, the same as all of the other Phoenix clubs are their original clubs. The fans of those clubs don't support them because their old club went and the new club is from the same place, they support them because they are a continuation of their club. You won't find a Wimbledon, Chester, Nuneaton, Aldershot or Leamington fan who thinks otherwise. If anything pride in the clubs history and herritage becomes emphasised to illustrate the fact. We would still be the club recorded as the FA Cup Winners in 1987, much as Wimbledon hold their honour from 1989.
Just thought I would ask you as you seem to be one of the most regular users of the term 'Sixfields Scab'.
Acutally, I do wonder because they shouldn't.
Are you in denial?
Are you in denial?
5 fold? And 'ACL would likely be available at a good rate too an owner who looked like they had the best interests of the club at heart'? ACL are a business, why on earth would they lower their price just because they thought somebody had the best interests of the club at heart? That makes no sense.
Obviously, you're trying to deny that names like that are bandied about on here, but they are. It's used fairly regularly.
