While I disagree on your position of bans, I do appreciate that you are bringing up a larger issue. What would be appropriate punishment for a spectator that enters the field of play? Should the circumstances dictate the punishments, i.e. for peaceful or violence? And I am not attempting to...

My opinion is this: A protester entered the field of play during a match (most likely) understanding that it would involve a ban, fines and/or jail time. He (probably) decided it was worth it, and prepared to accept consequences. From my understanding it was completely peaceful, to which I am...

Impressive! Just googled supporters direct and read up a little. This is exactly the type of organization that I was hoping might already exist. Thank you.

And in fairness, I think the biggest roadblock is awareness. We had a tremendous platform against Arsenal. Many of their supporters had no idea of our situation, or were mixed up about what our concerns really were. Some of them came onto this forum, or discussed it on their own forums, seeking...

For sheer numbers, contacting the biggest clubs' supporters clubs will net tens of thousands by themselves. A good message to include in the marketing of such contact is the line "Your club could be next." Arsenal fans on Friday proved that there is a willingness to unite behind a common good...

And a bonus to whatever politician wants to make it his or her only ambition to curry votes from passionate fans of any club. Here in America, crackpots are re-elected by whoever makes enough noise rabble rabble rabble.

I live in the USA, so may opinion on this may or may not be noteworthy. However, I agree wholeheartedly with the above statement and approach. An emphasis on fans and ownership is not enough, but a reminder about the defense of history (individual teams as well as the role of the game in the...

The intransigence of all business parties involved leaves me with feeling much gloom. As for this season, I do not think there will be any move back to Coventry. A second full season in Northampton seems definite, but I'm still undecided about what may happen for years 3, 4, 5 or beyond...

I should have realized that was the case. When I was thumbing through searching for the word Coventry I found loads about the game, some about the Why? protests. It was about 1:00 a.m. over here when I was trying to look, but I felt I was probably missing out by not knowing what the proper...

For the first time ever, I wish I understood how to use twitter (someone on some post mentioned Coventry was "trending"). I tried searching around for a better feel of how the outside world responded to the match's signs. Are there any younger social media savy folk out there with the proper...

I will be greedy and ask for more

Arsenal bringing in subs, any info on these fellas?

Great moment at the When? timing, too much field action for BT to focus in on fans unfortunately?

GK didnt even budge!! Hard shot wish it landed inside. Cmon

Oggy Oggy Oggy, Oi Oi Oi

It actually caused me to choke slightly. Thank you attendees, and respect to those Arsenal supporters who stood and clapped.

0-2. Is it me or does it look all game that our backdoor has been exposed????

I am pumped up for a good game. Optimism says a narrow 2-1 City win to upset. In any case, I have ordered my pizza and hot wings, and slapped on an old sky blue jersey!! BT sports currently giving a short City history lesson for all the Premier League viewers... "Hoping that a win tonight...

I appreciated the link to the goonerholics article. In the comments section, it is clear that many Arsenal fans want to stand side-by-side with fans of another club. Understandably, many of them are confused as to our club's current plight (which is confusing itself, but I am not trying to bring...

That is a terrific point! And I did not consider how small they may actually appear on TV. I would be hopeful for some closeup shots during those minutes for viewer clarity, and clarifying audio commentary. I also agree with the huge banner flag suggestion, for TV viewer benefit. Yet, 5000...
