Otis · Nov 20, 2012

Anyone on here who wasn't going up on Saturday now changed their minds?

We need a couple of thousand on the gate. These two wins must have stirred up some passion and pride surely?

We need stay away fans back! And back now!

Paxman II · Nov 20, 2012

I concur again. I'll be there.

ccfc92 · Nov 20, 2012

Was going anyway :wave:

320 mile round trip :claping hands:

Astute · Nov 20, 2012

At bloody work

Having us down for a big win though. Climb further up the table and close that small 9 point gap to the playoffs even more. Will be there in spirit though.

Paxman II · Nov 20, 2012

perhaps Otis you can concur also that Sheff once again played his part tonight in that attacking line up. His contributions are now more significant and MR is honing his side to fit the players?

rupert_bear · Nov 20, 2012

In a word NO

Macca · Nov 20, 2012

It could well be that we have a manager who knows his arse from his elbow

And a manager who can actually see his arse and his elbow!

ccfc92 · Nov 20, 2012

Any less than 15,000 is a disgrace :jerkit:

Sky Blue Sheepy · Nov 20, 2012

My thoughts exactly - no coincidence are away form is so good atm, our away support is usually fantastic. We need that support at home (and preferably not boo'ing players but I digress)

I think a disgrace may be on the cards then

We're just lucky that a manager who was an arse got the elbow...shame it wasn't this time last year!

A bit unfair Otis, along with the Great Wall of China his arse was one of the only things able to be seen with the naked eye from space.

call to arms for Saturday turns into talking about AT :jerkit:

Even with the empty sky blue seats behind him?

Well my attitude to the sharletons who run MY club go further than a couple of away wins. I have watched the City on over 70 different grounds and a few countries but giving SISU my hard earned goes against the grain i'm afraid.
Leopards never change their spots i believe SISU have no intention of securing McGoldrick, if they had any ambition they would not only secure his signing but add another like him to the squad but deep down we all know the answer to that.

Fair do's. what if they did sign him?

In fairness 8 goals in 2 games makes me want to knock one out too

Naive at best. Turning your back on OUR club because of the owners? Just another excuse for yous.

Besides, our problems as a club go much further than SISU's era, we've been skint and mismanaged since I've supported this club (when we got relegated).

vicious circle :facepalm: people say they wont go due to SISU, but without people going the club is fooked :facepalm:

Exactly, we need to balance the budget (sound like a fecking Tory :jerkit: now!) and if we have less revenue, we have less to spend. Simple.

It's in SISU's, YES, SISU's best interests that the club do well so they can make a return on their, so far, failed investment, and judging by recent history, they may hit lucky with the likes of; Norwich, Southampton, Leicester, Leeds... Coming back up, and the 1st 2 reaching the promising land. And if that means signing McG, they'll sign him, but it's in McG's hands, not ours.

You may be right about the mis-management but it is the present owners who have lied to us on numerous occasions and systematically dismantled our team plunging us into relegation to the division i started watching us 50 years ago and relegation last season was so avoidable, i can't forgive or forget that. Is it turning my back on the club ? i don't think so just being consistent. I am as happy as a pig in shit re. our last two games but sorry no money for SISU from me.

Spot on with the last line. You can t tell me on current form he won t get a better offer. Seen it so many times before

No they're labelled as the "skates" (navy reference i.e an insult to them). Soton are "scummers" labelled so after breaking a dockyard strike way back when.

Our owners before us lied to us, nothing new there. Fact. There are factions in this forum who have amnesia pre SISU. Fact.

I honestly think relegation for our club has been somewhat inevitable for a long time, but all of us (most of us) were in denial, myself included. The root cause of our problems is the fact we do not own a share in our ground, a ground that earned more than Old Trafford and the Emrites (outside of football) with the concerts etc. who's fault is that, not SISU's, who decided to build the damned beauty of a ground in the 1st place? Not SISU, but the crooks before them. SISU have pick poor, poor managers... But their predecessors appointed Peter Reid, and sacked Black. If you compare SISU's predecessor's, SISU aren't that bad. Fact.

Over SISU's tenure, we have seen some great players; Westwood, Dann, Fox, Turner, Gunna, King, Juke, Clingan (Coleman era), Henderson, Keogh, Bigi (potential to be), Norwood and whilst it is easy to say SISU should've 'grew a pair', we have to face reality and we had to sell some of them, some (Dann + Juke) were good offers and others (Turner + Fox) were crap offers, but we needed to sell so we staved off financial meltdown for longer, it was in the best interests of the club (as much as it hurts, it's true) so we didn't go into admin, perhaps worse. The point is, we're a selling club and needed the money, nothing new under SISU.

On the rent, i cannot believe the fans who side With the club, disgraceful! The council are charging an unfair rate for us to use our facilities and has put the club on the brink for some time, I hope we buy 1/2 the ground so we can move forward. Again, SISU are not to blame on the rate we pay.

Oh btw, I am led to believe we have cut our running costs by nearly half, from 500k to 250-300k region (I could be wrong though).

P.s. I'm not pro SISU, pro CCFC and I like to think I look at things from a neutral and fair perspective.

georgehudson · Nov 20, 2012

and again it's time for sisu to make their aims clear,
& for F & W to make true & positive statements,
maybe mr. clarke will come out with some pr spin,
in summation winning puts bums on seats,
so, if there is a sisu rep perusing this site then they have to show a realistic level of commitment,
if not ...................................

It would make a change if some fans showed some commitment as well instead of bleating from their armchairs.
