I'm proud of you, Brian. All that talk of Gardner and not once did you use the word 'uphill.'

*Your surname's Gardner which when said sounds a lot like gardener and a gardener might plant me a rose, but not in a g@y way. Not that there's anything wrong with being g@y or planting roses. In fact, someone who's not g@y could quite happily plant a rose in this day and age and most folk wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Well thats the thing David. Bottom line is our owners take nothing from the club apparently - we have to be self sufficient. So Ideas like you've suggested have been discussed for a lot longer than the 90 minutes of whistles you had to endure. This was a desperate attempt by a handful of people to try and get some publicity and re-ignite the media talk that's been lacking nationally since the last decent protest when we played Arsenal in the cup. Nothing personal against the Blades, our fights with SISU not you - I'm sure if your lot, who started chanting before the pitch invasion, knew the nuts and bolts of the situation, you'd have been shouting SISU out with us.boycott of matches and season tickets? im guessing your owners are only there for the money so if you take that away then theres nothing really left for them

That's correct, Otis. I did wonder though, when the boy Brian decided to wield the word "bat" that there may have been a mention of "The other side". This never occurred of course and a straight furrow continued to be ploughed with hardy perennials kept in check.I'm proud of you, Brian.

Hello there Sheffield united fan in peace here,
I just wanted to say a few words from the my view which i believe represents the view of the majority of blades fans.
Firstly i want to say that the majority of blades do think what is happening to your club is appalling and out of the many fans i spoke to pre game most of them feel sorry for Coventry fans at what is happening.
Now to the pro SISU chanting which i want to highlight was done by the minority of fans. From my view the reason this took place was mainly due to the fact that in our end people were telling each other the game was getting called off during your pitch invasion. This cause many of our fans to become frustrated (including me) as it had cost quite a lot of money to get down there for the night. Also the fact that fighting between fans started occurring and what seemed like half of your stadium blowing those whistles all night didn't really help the situation.
Anyway all the best for the rest of season and i reallu do hope SISU sells up
quoting that fuck wit doesn't really strengthen your argument mate!

Yeah, it's genius isn't it.What a great idea, why didn't we think of that !!!!!
David, you and your fellow supporters don't seem to have any idea what has been going on here at Coventry. I won't go onto one of your forums to explain because I think that would be a rude intrusion - and unnecessary as we all seem to be reading each others' forums anyway. Remember this isn't something new - this has been going on for years.
1. Nobody was trying to get the game abandoned or aiming anything at the SU fans. There were I hear some scuffles but I think that the atmosphere escalated mutually. This was entirely aimed at getting some attention on TV to our plight.
2. SISU has taken us to the bring of relegation to the old 4th division. And not many believe that we'll do any better there.
3 Whenever any manager has managed to get a few gems from the youth team through or someone we could sell, they have been sold. Stevenson is the latest kid to come through and shine and most expect him to go in January - long before he can reach potential here. The kids go straight from our first team to other clubs' youth teams or out on loan. Over the past 5 years or so I believe we've only paid for 2 players to join - and one of those was sold off at a profit after 1 season. For the main part our team is made up of free transfers and the youth team - long before they are ready.
4. SISU have attacked the city, not just the club. They tried to bankrupt the company owning the lease on the Ricoh (for which a local charity had most of the equity) and have two law suits on-going against the council. Despite having opportunities to buy the ground they instead moved the team to Northampton as part of their 'starve Arena Coventry' strategy. Every time they lost a case they appealed and these are still on-going. Few in Coventry believe they have any case and the judges have been damning of their representations. And in the meantime they have managed to alienate the local council.
5. We have no ground. We are renting the Ricoh from Wasps, who bought the ground when the club failed to take any action. The lease expires at the end of next season and talks to renew have stopped. For years now, SISU have been saying they will build a new stadium but of course they do nothing. Most believe this is hot air as part of their strategy to take money from the council.
6. We also lost our academy training ground and now they are trying to sell the club's training ground for housing development. As it stands, in 18 months we will have no ground and nowhere to train.
7. They have filled the club's echelons with various unsuitable stooges, who have made some ridiculous statements. One thought he could manage the team better than the manager, another related party suggested that the crowd should be empowered to text substitutions.
8. Communication with the fans is almost non-existent; we get occasional spin on the new ground which never happens and they will not communicate any strategy or aims for the club. Many have interpreted this as their strategy is just to starve the club; sell anything they can and make millions from suing the tax payer and the aforementioned charity. They will not reveal who actual owns the club, hiding behind the SISU banner. SISU is made up of a hive of inter-connected companies leading to a tax haven.
We have tried not going - did you notice how empty the stadium was? Crowds get lower every year. We have tried protests; handing our leaflets; placards; questions have been asked in parliament and the FA/FL have been written to. We are at our wits end. We fear for the future of the club; once they have sold everything and the court cases finish, what then for a club that was in the top flight for so many years? A club with a local population of over 300k and with no local rivals? In the grand scheme of things, we were I guess hoping that a little empathy and support would be more apt than whinging about a few whistles and a pitch invasion. All in all, given our desperation, your forums comments come across as 'let them eat cake'.

And not a word from him either!
Sorry David, your fans were mindless and abhorrent last night. We are on our last legs and you feel the need to mock us and chant at us.
I lived in Yorkshire for years as a kid, so yeah Yorkshire can fuck off.... hate the place.quoting that fuck wit doesn't really strengthen your argument mate!
Incidentally, now we know that sheff utd love sisu are you going to NOPM brammall lane?!!
