There would be lots more traffic on here if I was pushing the majority view all of the time wouldn't there?

I post what I do as it is my personal, independant view. If it was just about traffic and stats etc there would be much more if I was hammering the anti SISU stuff.

No If we all agreed there would be less traffic

Nick, as you spend all day moderating this forum, what do you do as a living? I'm not trying to make anything of it, I'm just intrigued.

You can just tell me to mind my own business.

It's a site for CCFC fans in fairness

I am quite happy to throw shit at the Trust and Telegraph when I don't agree, taking some back when people don't agree with me is part and parcel.

You can see how easy it is for the media to dictate to the masses. Don't ask any questions. Don't look beyond the statement. Just believe what we tell you. Just do as we tell you. And the masses follow.

People like you and Nick think you've got all the bases covered don't you, think
You're the only ones with your eyes open. It's not a case of people following
Blindly behind a headline. I would say people have more of a handle on what's
Going on, and have been waiting for something tangible to get behind for quite
Sometime now.
If this is an actual attempt at a coup, and all designed to get people behind it
Then I say about fucking time and I'm right behind it. If it all goes wrong, well
I would rather take that chance than have to keep watching and feeling this
Prolonged slow death our club is being put through.
I keep hearing, so what happens when SISU go, who takes us over then, well
I say let's worry about that when these leeches have gone. If we carry on as we
are We're going to have nothing left soon anyway.
I really hope and pray this is the beginning of their end.

If everybody has more of a handle on what's going on then why do people often make so many incorrect statements? That's the thing.

If people can't see how the media can play people, refer back to Simon and his book launch.

People follow their club, they can see the sorry state it's in, they can see
Harm being done to it on a daily basis, more importantly they can see who
Is responsible. For you to intimate that people are going after SISU because
The press tell them too is at best ludicrous and at worst insulting.
We know the power of the pen, it's won elections, referendums even wars,
But in this case people know full well what's going on.

Is this a bit like when ACL attempted a coup? Which people were behind but it never got anywhere. Didn't it also transpire that Haskell himself didn't have enough money?
Did you read about what MP Bob Ainsworth said to me? What do you make of that? Do you think making a statement like that shows he cares?
Wasps are the golden boys, we will forever be in their shadow while we are dictated to by them and the council. I have said it before and I will continue to say it. CCFC being successful does not fit with Wasps bedding in and proving the council made the right decision. It does not fit in with a city of rugby. Ainsworths comments to me prove they don't give a shit.
I just don't believe for one second that SISU leave and all will be rosy, not in the near future or distant future. That went with the Ricoh and then the academy.

I am on about 2 or 3 months ago when people were asking if the telegraph would be doing anything to help and got told it was down to the fans.

People would be very naive to think they have the club at heart and they are solely doing it for that reason.

I am just glad they are finally doing it.
However I don't see it as great shakes anyway.
It's just a headline saying what most Cov fans have thought for a while now

Won't be able to comment without reading it.

The only thing I do wonder is who exactly has he spoken to for information? It quite clearly isn't CCFC or SISU.

YesI'm sure there's something going on, I bloody hope so, what I'm saying
Is it's not the press telling people how to think.
If anything the press are just saying what 90% of supporters have been
Saying for ages, just now we have something to get behind.

If the day the Wasps news came out, the Trust, the Telegraph and all of local media said.

"NO to Wasps, we dont want you here"

For example, do you think people would have thought any different to what they do?

(Just an example)

I saw a bloke start off "Fuck off wasps, go home" etc etc, within 2 or 3 articles in the telegraph he had a wasps shirt ordered.
