ccfc v ccfc - possible protest (1 Viewer)

MichaelCCFC · Jul 20, 2014

In the spirit of Nick's scarves, is there a protest for the Cardiff game that could get everyone on board?

This is only a suggestion to see what people think -

On the basis of a protest aimed at getting coverage on Sky, knowing that Arsenal worked well because it was dead simple and 100% peaceful, and it's got to cover our problems and Cardiff's (I'm in touch with Cardiff) how about a similar format of at 35 mins releasing sky blue balloons with 'why' or 'bring us home' on them, then at a point in the second half that Cardiff could choose, hold up red cards symbolising 'a red card for owners who disregard fans and clubs' roots. People could do it inside sixfields or on the hill and the same would apply to Cardiff fans.

And in a moment of feeling absolutely weary with all this, it would be really nice not to get responses of fuck off/shut up/stop talking shit/you only want to be in the paper/there was no offer (oh yes there was and it took a huge amount of work to get it and the finance in place) or the fearless keyboard warriors encouraging other people to get on the pitch etc - just yes/no/or better ideas would be really good

Good idea. If decent numbers could be persuaded.

On the hill would work for most but if people inside joined in too all the better.

Don't worry mate things are in hand.

And yes any other protests would be good.

Only joking Michael, great ideas and keep them coming, I for one are firmly backing your stance.

Maybe the red cards would be a good idea with Cardiff fans, considering their own problems with their red kit.

And don't be weary of a few keyboard clowns Micheal, that's all they are, clowns.

I think the red cards are all to do with their kit

letsallsingtogether · Jul 20, 2014

Saying nothing on here.

But no not talking to Cardiff.

Good ideas Michael. It's a good opportunity for a bit of solidarity. And I mean amongst ourselves as well as with Cardiff.

On a serious note are these inclusive or just something you want to do yourselves?

Either way keep it legal and don't do anything to upset your fellow fans. Remember that despite the bickering and differing opinions on here we are all on the same side.

rob9872 · Jul 21, 2014

No season ticket holders and were unlikely to win, will be a midwek game. I would have thought the perfect opportunity not fir protest inside but the closest we are likely to get to total boycott. I accept some will go, I disagree with it but they have bought etc but no excuse fir anyone to go to this one really

skybluelee · Jul 21, 2014

I appreciate the thought process regards getting coverage on Sky but at the end of the day there will only be about 1,000-1,500 City fans in the stadium of which I doubt the majority will join in as these supporters who clearly feel less strongly about the groundshare otherwise they wouldn't be there.

Therefore 500 fans letting go of balloons on 35 minutes will just look silly.

Anyway, perhaps this is the match the Andrea will be doing his big protest so we can all sit back and watch it unfold live in TV.

Now I know you want agree with this but if this game is on Sky surely, surely there is an argument here that would warrant a full attendance.

Peaceful protesting through the game, sit in afterwards some form of banners, t-shirts.

An empty stadium is an empty stadium with no message at all.

Lesson from sheff u last year was different people trying to do different things doesn't work and I hadn't realised LAST and BHSB were on the case so very happy to leave it to them

The game though is televised. It's unlikely that very much air time will be given to events outside the ground.

There has to be an argument that people should go in and should have a planned way of protesting.

This will get far more coverage and attention as cameras could not avoid it.

The idea this is supporting the owners will kill the concept but that ideology is ultimately self defeating.

The idea of a protest during a televised game is a good one. I personally think some #BringCityHome signs would be more than sufficient and send out a united message with all other initiatives. Perhaps that could be in conjunction with this.

PS. By the way, the 'woe is me' shit is ridiculous. Some criticism is perhaps unjustified but you have brought a lot of it on yourself by your refusal to engage properly with those you hope to represent.

blueflint · Jul 21, 2014

personally think if ten thou turned up but didn.t go in just kept walking around outside the gates would do the trick.not blocking just making it harder to get in.no shouting of scabs etc just get us home would be enough

Have you approached ACL to see if they'll let the football club keep the revenue it generates? Proper radical I know, but surely it's gotta be worth a go. Unless you don't agree of course.

Doesnt everyone agree with that - but are SISU willing to pay a price for it? Unfortunately football club sold the rights - not sure which idiot was in charge then but probably Richardson.

If not, what is the plan to move on instead of going around in circles with this nonsense. Is it build a new ground or something else because staying at Sixfields is unsustainable.

That deal is obsolete. If they had a new sports franchise they would have to offer revenues for free so the same applies to us.

I don't think they are involving anyone else though Michael. I'm just going by them saying they don't want to say anything on here though.
