I'm asking Tony or astute what's the biggest crime? Playing in Northampton or being a convicted felon for offences against women?
and I'm saying "Really?" to bringing into a debate of playing home games with deciding if a father should should support a player who has "an alleged history?"
Fuck it then, let's just give in because nopm isn't working. This is not the reason most fans choose not to attend, CCFC are playing their home games 35 miles away from their home city, how the hell is this my local club. I couldn't give 2 hoots if they are going to fund the loses, more fool them however anybody with half a brain knows that they won't do it forever.
Come on then Grendel, what is your contribution in this whole debacle, you are a master at knocking those who want to protest, who want to make a stand against our owners yet you bring nothing to the table, we are all waiting. For the record I do not want to discuss Marlon Kings past with my 8 year old child, really however he understands for himself that playing in Northampton is 100% wrong and has decided for himself that he wishes not to go.Thank you for your marvellous contribution to the debate.
"An alleged history" - Jesus fucking Christ - "daddy hasn't Marlon king been convicted of 13,criminal offenses mostly against women"
Dad - "no, no, no they were all mistakes - unless he signs for another club then we boo the evil woman beating bastard"
It's friday fucking night you bunch of nerds
I'm waiting for tomorrow, Gym, Nando's, Then Bournemouth Town til 5 am :guitar2:
I love the way people say that they are funding the losses like they are making a charitable donation. Is it not fair to say that they are borrowing the money from either their investors and/or ARVO? Surely this money is then saddled to the club as debt and the club pay interest on this debt. Sounds more like a pay day loan to me only no one knows when or how the pay day is coming.
Well avro is all part of the same business as otium. So no it all links back to one company so only one company is technically funding the losses. Or am I wrong? Haha
But you wouldn't have watched them once in those 300 days even of they were in Coventry would you?
were you there? I never objected to his signing before you use the moral high ground.
I'm just saying how can you compare a player signing with "a background" shall we say to the club being moved out of the City?
Morals are somewhat selective for many of out fans.
I'm working nights all weekend. Gutted.
Because his background is the far worse crime
No. You're looking to piss on a positive story regarding the Trust from your very first post and everyone since.
Guess what. You've failed. All you've done is show yourself up for the bitter little man you are.
Actually I made a one line observation that they should encourage young fans to attend games at Sixfields. That is not "pissing" on anything.
The trust's primary function has to be the long term preservation of the club. This means it needs to preserve the fanbase for the long term. Whatever the short term implications it is therefore vital that younger supporters are encouraged to attend
The problem with the trust is that it is ending up following the mantra of people like you - short termists who scream ~SISU, shitsfields and somehow believe this is solving the issue. It has a duty to do the right thing long term even if that makes it unpopular with some who fail to understand what is required. It needs a long term fanbase. The trust hierarchy I suspect are not long term or straegic visionists and they are not the type of people who will negotiate and make decisions that they do not like but are for the long term good.
They should be promoting the club and encouraging fans to attend.
Even though your points a correct regarding the SBT, the whole point of ccfc is that they play in Coventry and represent the city. That's why we are so affectionate towards ccfc.
Absolutely so therefore I hope the trust can arrange more away days like this for the young fans to keep the fire burning in the eventuality that the club return HOME.Actually I made a one line observation that they should encourage young fans to attend games at Sixfields.

I repeat why is it wrong? If a young child wanted to go what reason would you give to say no?
Yes but most kids actually don't want to go my lad hasn't been all season and half the time doesn't even know the score another season ticket holder lost.
I would have no problem driving him up to the ground and waiting for him till the end of the game but I will still never go in.
As for the trust they have asked their members and was the vote not to promote Shitfields?
You will never get to be a super fan with an attitude like that

Ah and hasn't your attitude changed? It wasn't too long ago that you insisted that you didn't judge what fans chose to do. Couldn't resist joining The Pack eh?

They should be encouraging parents with young fans to attend Sixfields.
And they have to assume the club will return -- if they do not believe that then they may as well cease to exist.
How will promoting the idea of watching Coventry in Northampton help to retain the younger fan base? 'The hallowed Sixfields turf was where my love for the City first started' isn't something I see happening. Going on the road to support the team up and down the country is however likely to be more successful.
It gets an interest going in the club. Many parents are not keen on taking young children to away games
And taking them somewhere with as unsavoury an atmosphere as Sixfields is preferable?

My first CCFC game was at HR. It was the atmosphere that got it's hook in me and made me want to go back. That just ain't going to work at a ground where whistles outside are louder than the crowd inside.
The Trust have this exactly right. If you want to encourage a new generation don't take them to sixfields where the heart is missing.
