Doug’s new year message (9 Viewers)

[SBAndy]

I think that’s what’s been added maybe it’s not hears downstairs

100% there’s nothing like that around B15.

The one thing I’ll say on this - and I think I raised it with @Sky Blue Pete previously - there’s no real way of knowing when the teams have come back out. I’ve had it before where I walk back to my seat and it’s 2-3 minutes into the 2nd half. Would be good if they could stick something over speakers in the concourse (assuming there are some?) even if it’s just the “please welcome back Coventry City” bit.

Nah just sound a hooter, none of this polite shit!🫣

 

[Evo1883]

I heard @Evo1883 has a kink for that shit.

It would make me keep leaving more

 

[Shannerz]

Don't abandon your team after all they have given you pricks

If ever a sentence demanded a comma...

 

[standupforcity]

Anyone who thinks a few thousand people staying an extra ten minutes was going to change the outcome of that game is just as deranged as the clowns moaning because we're not averaging 3 or 4 goals a game in December.

You're missing the point!

 

[Macca]

I mean its a couple of decent signings that will get us over the line not big Dave staying for the full 90 mins or some shit songs. Love DK though so whatever

 

[procdoc]

I left on 87 mins as they had karaoke in Dhillons. Maybe some of you witnessed my rendition of Ice Ice Baby

Can vouchers be used to get 10% off?

 

[shmmeee]

Agree with the message but let’s be honest it was clear from the first minute we were never getting into that game. I’d blame the performance on the pitch before the fans.

Talking of pitches has anyone seen blues, looking very tired down the centre, extending out about 20m from the penalty area.

 

[Bigelvesy]

I agree with almost the entire message from Doug it boils my piss when fans leave early or the sense of entitlement that has creeped in (it's clear on this forum alone).

The one comment that annoys me is that we are lucky to have season tickets...

Most fans pay very good very hard earned money, and we didn't sell out season tickets in the end did we? About 300 left?

There was a waiting list…im not sure its true we didnt sell out if thats the case?

Yes £50 quid premium or in advance of the purchase if it came.

Interesting i didnt know there was a cost to being on the waiting list.

Nothing like waking up to a bollocking from your clubs owner- “Happy New Year and Thanks for your support“ would have done
The guy never turned up to half the games himself until this season.

Ah but did he put his seat in the directors box on the exchange ?

No he's just put millions into the club himself ffs

Yes but that doesnt mean i cant say , doug ..fuck up mate im going home when i want

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Did I say that? I was saying it to the bloke whinging hes only turned up to games this year.

Well its a relevant whinge i suppose , whats good for one and all that

He's the owner ffs hahahah SISU never came to any games and like Shmmee said its not like he could put his seat on the exchange

Our fans are funny at times

 

[Deity]

Some people just can’t handle being told the truth.

The truth is this team, coach, owner deserve our support, through good matches and bad.

The match isn’t done with 10 mins plus 5 injury time to go, however badly we were playing.

If we want to be successful and get promoted we have to play our part.

After some of the things other supporters have said about fans leaving in here .. its probably not that funny

I agree , staying to the end and singing a rendition of Kumbaya along with the players to keep squad / Fan harmony strong was really pivitol

Off to charlton today ?

We were in the game betwe

But we did get into the game after half time for 15 mins. Should of had a penalty too. 1-0 Haji.

 

[SkyBluePower]

Relatively speaking I have put more % of my personal wealth into the club than he has over the years .

 

[Super Graham Withey]

Agree with Doug's sentiments but he should be more careful. Some older supporters (including my Dad) where I set in block 20 have mobility issues and leave early to avoid the full time rush. Are we now saying that these supporters are not worthy of holding a season ticket?

 

[skybluegod]

There was a waiting list…im not sure its true we didnt sell out if thats the case?

There was a waiting list that was in place before the renewal window closed.

That waiting list was then completely cleared and they were still selling

 

[covcity4life]

I think I've only left early a few times I. My lifetime. Port vale when robins returned being one of them I remember because it was so depressing.

It's just something I never wanted to do as a child when my mates dad pulled us out with few mins to go to get to the car and it crossed over into adulthood. Imagine missing a crazy injury time comeback. FOMO

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah we didn’t sell out STs but we took them off sale randomly instead.

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

Happy New Year to Dictator Doug

 

[robbiekeane]

Are we now saying that these supporters are not worthy of holding a season ticket?

Well no because nowhere in the whole message does it say anything like that

What a load of nonsense

Fisher came to every game.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Fisher came to every game.

Oh god now we are bigging up Tim Fisher. This forum has jumped the shark

 

[robbiethemole]

It’s not just us tho, seen Robins is berating Stokies for booing their team after losing! At least those that left didn’t boo ours hahaha
