its coming.

3 weeks :wave:

Same here. So sick of it all.

When did something as simple as watching your local team become such a source of bullshit?

Nope. Nobody at all feels fed up with the way the off field things have gone. No one whatsoever. Its just you.

Thanks for sharing.

i will be getting a season ticket elsewhere next season

At least we all have expertise in law, contracts etc now!

I can see this turning into a "superfans assemble" thread. Honestly, these always turn into my favourite of the SBT thread genre.

I'm such a superb Coventry City fan that I'm actually going to buy a season ticket elsewhere, that'll show them! That'll get 'No Joy Septic gay parlour' turning round and going "yeah bloody hell, I best get them playing at the Memorial Park otherwise these mentalists will all be snapping up those unsold Walsall season tickets before I know it"

Its like Barry in that film Four Lions. I love this logic:

Barry - Well, we got a target, bro. We're all agreed.
Omar - What is it?
Barry - It's the mosque.
Omar - What?
Barry - Yeah! Bomb the mosque, radicalise the moderates, bring it all on.
Omar - OK, right. No, I like that. I do like that, that's brilliant. Let's take out a bunch of Muslims because they're the real enemy. Once we've done that, why don't we truck-bomb a kebab shop and fly a jumbo jet into Waj's mum's head?

Re-reading that quote I posted above from Four Lions, without the context and without seeing the film, I should probably look forward to a knock on my door in the next 30 to 60 seconds.

A genuine plus point of all this is that I've not had to be outside and lose feeling in my toes like I'd normally have with a routine winter 0-0 at the Ricoh. You've got accentuate the positive.

This is the perfect idea, surely we should be looking at the positives of our current plight!

1. I haven't killed myself from watching us win something by celebrating by jumping in the Coventry canal with my body somehow ending washed up in Denmark.
2. I've saved a fortune in future liver transplants on reducing my Saturday intake of stale beer.
3. (Sticking with the toe theme) I once broke my toe kicking the floor when we conceded a 90th minute equaliser. My toe has never been in better shape.

shmmeee · Feb 12, 2014

4. I haven't heard "FORWARD!" once this season.
5. I haven't had to explain to a 12 year old that I can be trusted with a plastic bottle cap.

shmmeee · Feb 12, 2014

6. Having also not been to the match, I find the callers on CWR more reasonable.

MichaelCCFC · Feb 12, 2014

It's weird cos on the one hand it's all so utterly depressing but on the other hand wolves was a great day out as were walsall and rotherham. Preston is one I'll remember for the rest of my days and I've finally got to see us win at Bristol City.

Ha ha ha, I'm pretty certain I heard it at Crawley away opening day of the season. Genuinely the worst chant I've ever heard a selection of our fans try and get popular.

There is only one Jim Bowen!

i think it is a suitable ploy for the people who control CCFC, to make sure the supporters opinions are suppressed,
thus if they reduce the likelihood of rebellion, they can continue with their strategies,
which, we, will never be party to

Could not agree more, as I said on this thread, http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/40122-What-have-SISU-done-for-me

Thank the lord! Two of him and I think I'd join Skybluenewman and go elsewhere.

Just finished reading Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine which talks about how Milton Friedman (Free Market guru and founder of Neoliberalism) was a proponent of regime change taking place through "a shock to the system". The US would often force unpopular policies on a foreign nation after a war, terror attack or similar national crisis. The idea being you come in with all the answers and people are too confused to formulate a cohesive resistance. V for Vendetta uses a similar theme if you've seen that.

Taking that into our situation, the move to Sixfields was essential for the plan against the council to work. They needed us to be in shock before they went full bore on owning the Ricoh (note how it was all about rent until we moved, then it was about ownership).
