Just seen that advert for that mad light thing from JMl for a laser light that shines on your house and looks like loads of Christmas lights. Cant we chip in and get a few to shine on the Ricoh and put a template on the front saying CUNTS!
Only a thought and would be better than a hidden fan shining a red laser pen in all of the Sky cameras so they cant show the game. Would be very silly but better than a pitch invasion in a dream world.
*Im not not saying a fan should do it. Im anxious to help you with your inquiries officer but I have no recollection to the incident you are referring to*:wideyed:
It's getting that way unfortunately hope is being drained out of us fansEven I am amaze to read the Sheff Utd match thread and see prediction of a 0-6 when we are at home.
Its like everyone has given up
I haven't posted for a while because the last thread I was on just ended up with people insulting each other and one of the things I've always loved about being a City fan is meeting and becoming friends with people I'd never otherwise have met and that great feeling of being part of the SBA - not often enough in recent years but there's still been Gillingham back at the Ricoh, Wolves away and a few others. Yesterday was the worst I've ever seen us. It wasn't even competitive just a question of how many we'd lose by. Reading this and other threads is equally depressing - people more interested in insulting each other than working out what to do. I still think Norterhn Wisdom's idea about cleaning the neglected bricks paid for by fans is a great one. When you look at places like AFC Wimbledon and Pompey it seems they had a really strong Trust that knew what it was doing and united people behind it. Maybe ours needs a clean sweep as it seems to be part of the problem now, tainted by the last chairman, entangled in the stupid scg, welcomed a franchise, never clear what's them and what's done under the cover of other groups. I know they're loyal fans and do it all on a voluntary basis, but they've had a few years at it so maybe time for them all to stand down and let a new bunch have a go.

Not sure we've got them.we still chucking tennis balls or what?

Only one person even went for it.
The ones on here who cry the most were asked to put in for it, you guessed it couldn't be bothered but are the first to criticise bunch of hipocrites.
But isn't that the equivalent of me saying something like "I don't like the Lib Dems, I was opposed to them screwing all the students over" and you telling me to join the party and become and MP. Why would somebody get involved in a group that seem to have an opposing point of view. The trust should be representative of the wider fan base and not just members that are at meeting or they are never going to get wider support, hence the political party analogy. I'd be much more supportive of the trust if there were actions against SISU as well as pressure and criticism of Wasps and CCC. If this were to happen I see the trust as being more favourable, as I think others would too, this would lead to a greater membership and representation the fanbase as a whole, thus leading to having more power and influence. It seems obvious to me. But then any criticism of the trust turns into people "crying" or being "hypocrites" - more division which is exactly the opposite of what we want, why is constructive criticism such a bad thing?
Leeds United supporters did a big projector thingy on the side of a stand last season against their chairman, Mussolini.Have said about the laser thing a few times. Would look good

Yep thats what I mean:
No idea how they did that though, would have to be lined up properly.

Something along the lines of, having endured our club being taken away from our community and the continuing problems we have with our owners. We would like to make our position clear regarding Wasps move to Coventry and the recent comments about Wasps being a real estate company with a rugby club on the side. We strongly disagree with sports clubs being used as a veichle to make money, be that SISU or Wasps. I hope that clears up our position.
“It was dire, particularly when compared with the Wasps match which really was a fantastic sporting occasion,” said Jan Mokrzycki, of the Coventry City supporters’ Sky Blue Trust.
How is the effectiveness of protest being measured? It seems to be measured in social media terms, i.e. how many times it gets liked or shared! Why is that? How will it lead to SISU packing their bags?
The club's problems have been given much media coverage over the past 3-4 years, it hasn't made a blind bit of difference. Football stories are throwaway and meaningless when compared with other news in the press. The football authorities don't care, they've set the game up in such a way that the likes of SISU are inevitable.
How can we turn what is a negative reactive and emotive act (protest) into something positive to make change happen? I've said before here many a time, the club is only as attractive as its recent evidenced fan base. If SISU said they were off tomorrow, who would want to come in and take over? The fans are criticising others for attending! The melodramatic new catchphrase "This once proud club" seems to have taken hold on social media, it makes it sound like the fans have written the club off forever. If that's the case, why bother with the protest?

Actually, I also seem to recall a pitch invasion and protest for a televised Sky game at Highfield Road shortly after the departure of Bobby Gould (in 93 I think). The invasion was after the game, but received a lot of attention. Seems silly now when you think what we were protesting about (compared to now). It was also against Sheffield United iirc.
Is that the one that apparently scared off the Sheikh (fake?) investor?
It is just judged on if it was in the paper or like you say, how many likes.
The main aim seems to be "exposure of the situation". I think all of the people who need to know actually know, articles in the Telegraph won't do much.
To who?It doesn't do any harm to keep hammering the point home, Nick.
To who?
I remember it, some blokes walking across the top of the executive boxes in the Main Stand....
That Premier League game was watched by 10,439
Would it really hurt for the Trust to come out and condemn the presence of Wasps - if as a result more fans could feel that they were part of that message? We know it won't make them leave but if it brings more fans behind them....
To those against whom the protest is, and to the media to keep it in the public eye. Who knows, perhaps someone will take notice and take what steps they can to rectify the situation.
