Why was the thread "why we go to sixfields" closed (2 Viewers)

[shy_tall_knight]

Its the biggest debating point in the whole of the 40 years that I have been a fan. It was a well constructed posting that if it touched a nerve then it shows that there is some merit substance in the content.

If its because Admin are also a committed sixfielder - then its a sad day for freedom of speech.

Said it last week mate....Big Brother's about, is it 1984?

 

[ccfcway]

Cause the regime dont like it man

 

[steveo1987]

Because it's yet another shouty us and them post that is now tedious.

 

[Sick Boy]

Because it was childish and tedious...which is probably why it appealed to a fair few.

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

You can say what you like on this forum....As long as it's NOT anti-SISU or anti-Sixfields.

 

[shy_tall_knight]

We are a big club for this division, we should be challenging for promotion we should be playing to crowds of 10,000 plus, but we're not and as far as I can see having lost all their legal challenges we will be held hostage in Northampton as that's all SISU have left and all that go support this.

 

[Skyblue4u]

Only a matter of time until the admin mafia lock this thread

 

[mrtrench]

1. Because it's all been discussed before over and over.

1. Because it wasn't about football.

1. Because the writer doesn't understand that lists only start with the number 1, afterwards they increase sequentially, integer by integer

I didn’t see this thread myself but I can imagine why it was closed down. The subject is just too unpalatable for some for some to read or discuss. You have to wonder why. Shame or guilt possibly?

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

People go to Sixfields, some don't. Deal with it. The fans who travel to Sixfields are not the problem. In the grand scheme of things they hardly contribute to the Sisu coffers. It would just mean we would lose another player or 2 out of the squad if they stopped attending.

Is that a reason to close a thread on a football forum though?

No-one is forcing anyone to read anything. We are all free thinkers and can choose what to read and what not to read can't we?


Shouty and tedious should not be a reason to stop someone having free speech.

Or it has been done to death time after time.

I doubt anyone who attends feels guilty or shame. They probably just want to watch their team play a game of football.

The first two of them would close 90% of the threads on the forum.

By that logic if we get an extra 2000 to go we can get another 2 players for the squad or return to the Ricoh and have significantly more income and an even better squad. When owners are running a football club for non-football reasons logic goes out the window. To qoute Star Trek's Spock "its illogical" northants makes no sense so don't try to justify our being there or attending games there its nonsense. Make a stand put the pressure on don't go.

[Nick]

Wait a minute, you reported it and said is this going to be dealt with? Make your mind up.

It was locked because as said it is just another thread trying to stir up trouble, the same would happen if it was a "you are all wankers if you don't go" or "only scabby scab scabs stand on the hill" type thread.

Plus it was reported a couple of times by users.

We have said a fair few times we are trying to cut down on the us v them attitude on here. It is quite sad actually (either way), we are all city fans.

Even if no one turnes up, it wouldn't make a difference to sisu or the FL. This is just a notion put forward by the nopm brigade. Nice to see that their plan of starving sisu out is going well.

Whether it's right or wrong to close the thread, it is a prime example of why there is a split between the fans. I've supported city both home and away since 1992, been to more shit games than many on here have had hot dinners, yet i'm a 'scab'......

I will say with complete honesty that i can't wait to bump into the people who ganged up and me and abused me outside sixfields last season.

If everyone who seems to have such a strong opinion on CWR/Here/Facebook, had actually bothered to get behind the team over the years then this would never have happened.

Even away games are shit now, people who think they have a good atmosphere need to think back just a few years to what it used to be like. Just look at our self-appointed 'leaders' who think they are great because they go to away games and start such witty songs as 'Joy Sepalla is a slag'

This whole episode has convinced me that most football fans are wankers, and City supporters have the team they deserve.

You may not be old enough to remember the Miners' strike in the 80’s but the majority of Miners faced with mass closure of pits went on strike in an attempt to force a change in government policy.

In some ways it is akin to our present situation whereby the vast majority of supporters will not go to Northampton in an attempt to change owner policy.

The big difference between the two scenarios is that at least those Miners that carried on working had some sort of justification in doing so as they had families to support.

What justification is there for going to Northampton? To watch their team play a game of football?

Ahhh this old chesnut again.

Then 95% of the threads on here wouldn't exist would they?

@ Nick....I repoerted the BAD LANGUAGE nothing else.

That's a poor comparison

I read it on Facebook yesterday.i pass comment because that's what the idea of a forum is.

 

[Nick]

I am more than happy to have a conversation with people who actually do want to know reasons why things like this (both ways) are being cut down on. It works both ways, if you see something you think is having a pop at people who dont go and is just stirring up trouble then just report it and we will deal with the report and usually let you know (sometimes we don't send the reporter a PM if we are on phones as it is a nightmare).

 

[Houchens Head]

Don't start discussing closed threads. Mr Harper doesn't like it.

Surely we all just want to watch our team play football don't we?

If its because Admin are also a committed sixfielder - then its a sad day for freedom of speech.

Maybe because it's by now: -
A. Old ground
B. A simple matter of choice

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

@ Nick....Come on then "Big Boy"........You've got my permission to display my "Reported Post" to Admin. I don't care who sees it. put it up on the forum now!!!

Ha just seen the second comment. Grow up, if everything was locked or deleted that I didn't agree with then this place would be a bit quiet wouldn't it? Don't give it the freedom of speech line because I have said before, this forum is way under moderated so you are way off the mark.

People are fed up of the us vs them shit, it is boring and tedius (either way). It is fuelled by people on Twitter and Facebook who seem to be obsessed with it, it is grown men sat constantly just obsessing over SISU all day and making random images in photoshop.

What need is there for it? Over and over again?

 

[Norman Binns]

That's a poor comparison

Why is it a poor comparison?

Both situations are injustices, both situations had the majority of people supporting the strike or not attending games in Northampton whilst the minority go against the grain and both situations are on a matter of principle and in an effort to change things.

Why is it a poor comparison?

I love this freedom of speech thing that happens every time a threads closed when there's 15 beeeelion threads on exactly the same subject, with exactly the same arguments!

Exactly, the only thing that changes is the way that the point has been put across and is the reason that 1 out of about 1000 are dealt with.

Freedom of speech though.
