I think the reality is somewhere in between. I used to go to a lot of away games, you see the same old faces. I guess the numbers have swelled due to fans getting their CCFC fix. On Facebook, Twitter etc the vast majority are anti SISU and are totally opposed to sixfields. They are the vocal...
Me neither, this was around six months before he jacked. My own view at the time was the deal was done with the club in a very weak position so agreed because the alternative was admin.
Probably saw what was coming...
Yes, because he got the best deal for ACL. Although I would argue that tying down your anchor tenant to an unsustainable rent isn't really getting the best deal long term. I was answering a specific point that was made about certain parties caring for the club. I disagreed, it was, is and should...
You're probably right Wingy, :) point I'm making is that we can have totally opposing views about how as fans we should approach this but fundamentally we all want the same thing and that's what we should be focusing on, not the divisive stuff.
No, I'll never give SISU another penny I will not return to supporting my club until SISU have gone.
But that is my personal view and wouldn't force it on anyone or criticise anyone who disagreed with me.
I was talking about effective protest. The hill is great, makes me feel better...
Just on your first point, I'd say SISU would get more pressure put on them if Sixfields was filled every home game and there was a boycott of the away games. City fans made it clear what they were doing and why. If our opponents were losing money from city fans not going yet CCFC were gaining...
Astute, not having a go at you personally but I was at a meeting many many years ago with Paul Fletcher before any of us had even heard of SISU (the guy who struck the deal with the club while working for ACL) he was saying way back then that the rent was unsustainable and pleas for help from...
Whooah, at what point did I say we should let SISU have the Ricoh on the cheap? My personal opinion is that I would never sell the Ricoh to SISU because I don't trust them. But if SISU did get hold of the Ricoh I would love them to prove me wrong.
None of us know what will happen, that's the...
I think deep down most City fans will agree with you. I certainly do. BUT... What would you say to the fan that's says yes you are right but if it benefits Coventry City Football Club then I'm more than happy to go with it. You have to realise it works both ways. I would say the majority of fans...
The first point, I will not attend a home game while SISU are at the helm of my club whether that home game is played at Sixfields, the Ricoh or Timbuktu. Although, as I have explained I accept that is what most fans want and will go along with it.
The most ironic thing about the rental agreement was the fact that Paul Fletcher was working for ACL and pretty much headed up the negotiation team that struck the deal with the club. He then went to work for the club and said he deal was bad for the club.
I guess he would argue that he was...
