Ah... the people who are also apportioning blame to the CCC are all weak and do nothing?

So what would you do under a 'united' front? Personally think that we all know SISU are to blame but our wonderful council (and counterparts) have played their part but that seems to get missed by some on here as they are all too angry at SISU. There are alot of parties who have shat on us fans here but if you have a wonderful united front idea then I would be happy to get behind that banner.....

There is an election coming - watch for more smoke, mirrors and bluff coming out of local Labour HQ

Yes because it was just Labour who voted this through wasn't it? and it is just Labour who play the smoke and mirrors game too, isn't it?

The Gentleman has it bang on. What pi**es me off is the "Hate CCC at all costs" brigade. You know who you are. You can't see past the end of your noses with regards to SISU/Otium. You never say a bad word about them. As has been said, you'll slag off CCC/ACL/Higgs at any given opportunity, but the "Bad mouthing" of our owners never crosses your lips. SISU are the "Devil incarnate" Trying their best to kill off our Football Club" Mark my words, the owners are making money or out of CCFC one way or another, what other reason would they still be here. Think about it?

Coventry is actually doing quite well at the moment. (I don't particularly attribute that to the council) but please don't slag off our home without looking at the stats first.

Well I have said bad words about SISU and criticised some of their actions

If you get p***ed of at all the hate CCC at all costs brigade there are others who think the same about the "CCC have done nothing wrong brigade".

I have seen no evidence SISU are making any money out of CCFC - in fact I do not see how they can!

I suspect the main reason they are here is because they have put an investment in and are thinking "why should we go". I also see no reason as to why they should want to kill of the club - defies all logic.

There you are I have thought about it!!

I don't see a charity serving alcohol to responsible consenting adults as an issue to be concerned about.

I work for a charity that provides elderly sheltered housing. Part of this includes activities and entertainment for the old folk. Alcohol is for sale and gambling (Bingo) is catered for.

Is this something you would be concerned about?

Why do you say this shit when you know its not true? I, like many others, despise SISU and have criticised them on many occasions. But I think others are also to blame. Can you try to understand this please instead of peddling the same lie over and over?

Err because if the club is reliant on a subsidy from Sisu to stay in business each year then that is the reason they should go. They will never get their money back and to keep ploughing more money into a business that they cannot turn around is foolish.

And your either disingenuous with your "concern" about the Higgs Charity serving alcohol, or you have the morals of a 16th century puritan.

Presumably you pay for your ticket to get in and watch Cov and pay Tim Fishers wages too. Now that is something to express your anger about on a CCFC forum. Perhaps you express that anger on a CCC forum?

I didn't say you did mention my name. You are lying because you know very well that apart the lunatic RFC there is not a single poster on here who likes SISU or who hasn't criticised them at some point or another. If you cannot acknowledge that you are either a liar or an idiot.

Although there are some on here who may have criticized SISU in the past but are also hell bent on blaming all our woes at the door of CCC/ Higgs and will divert any criticism of SISU back in their direction.

I've seen plenty of criticism of SISU by you, you seem fairly even-handed. But you can surely see his point that there are a large number of posters who only ever criticise SISU when defending themselves from being criticised for never criticising SISU, but who gleefully leap on CCC/ACL/Higgs/Wasps at any opportunity? If they're so adamant that SISU are massively at fault, why don't they say this as much as they criticise other parties-like you do?

Sisu - King t*ssers
Seppala - Queen T*sser
Fisher - Bullshit T*sser
Ann Lucas - Chief Council T*sser
Mutton - Secondary Council T*sser
PWKH - Up his own backside t*sser
Bryan Richardson - Started this mess and sold Highfield Road T*sser
Byng - Train spotting t*sser
Elliott/Hoffman - Great pretender t*ssers
Wasps - Franchise T*ssers

A large number? If there are any (and I never see them) it will be in a desperate attempt to redress the balance and inject a little common sense against overwhelming odds and overwhelming fanaticism. but thanks.
