Protests don't work. Try telling the Football League! (8 Viewers)

Broken Hearted Sky Blue · Aug 11, 2014

Seems that after more than a year trying to get the Football League to help to us,and only getting bog standard replies,THEY now want our help.

Seems that the Football League are on the verge of signing a new sponsorship deal for the League Cup and are desperate to avoid any bad publicity and want us and Cardiff to stop the protests on Wednesday because by all accounts representatives will be there. Also apparantly they tried to get the game switched to the Ricoh but SISU would have none of it.

So Football League you couldn't get involved when the fans wanted you to begged you in fact to help us,but the smell of good old cash and you're desperate:facepalm:

Well I'm going to enjoy watching you squirm on Wednesday night :claping hands::laugh::guitar2:

For all you out there who don't think protests work:thinking about:

If this is true then we should get everyone on the hill, in the ground and in the Cardiff end to kick up one almighty fuss. We need good number on the hill to make an impact. We need to get out there and make our point loud and clear - We The Fans Have Been LET DOWN.

If it is true the fans should go in the ground and make a lot of noise aimed at the cameras.

Don't need to there will be cameras outside although we would be gratefull if you could join in and believe me when I say I'm not taking the piss.This is now more important than cheap point scoring from either me or you.

Show me a protest that we have done that has had some kind of positive effect, Marches through Coventry directed at no one, no one that matters, no one to view it apart from local press, and a little 2 minute interview on local news, a slight mention on Sky but the very next day .. tumble weeds.

Absolute more garbage trying desperately not to have 40 50 souls on the hill and even Cardiff fans thinking is that all you can muster.

The trust have been fannying around far too long with SISU for my liking and are a bunch of softies.

Good luck all the best with whatever you try this occasion, and enjoy the 3 minutes of speech Sky will give about it all, but for me this will achieve sweet F.A

Best way to protest - NOTHING NOT ONCE PROTESTER ON HILL / GROUND would gain bigger news coverage.

I think the last march had the desired affect to be honest, firstly it forced SISU to release a statement prior to the march and secondly had both parties talk about a possible move back to the Ricoh. This before was not even close, persoanlly i dont think this is just all coincidence, the march forced SISU's hand somewhat to respond to fans.

They did the same BS talk before the first march... they just wanted to look like they was bothered.. Fisher must been laughing his balls off.

No fucker gave a shit who is involved in the politics, shame this never happened 10-15 years ago.. I am pretty sure the older generation of fan wouldn't of took all this shit and would of enforced pressure on the FL weather that be the right way or the wrong way.

Steve.B50 · Aug 11, 2014

If you think any sort of protest is a waste or time or not, we have an opportunity to make a massive statement on Wednesday.

Anyone who is free should try and either get on the Hill or inside the ground and all unite in letting the relevant groups know how we feel and that we as supporters have been let down.

Don't waste this opportunity ~!!!!!

ccfcmustang · Aug 11, 2014

anyone kno wlikely attendance of the game on wednesday?

Steve.B50 · Aug 11, 2014

no, but they are pushing pay on the gate.
We know from the Cardiff City Trust they have not sold there allocation /

TakeMeHomeHighfieldRoad · Aug 11, 2014

Capital One are sponsors of the cup untill 2017 so cant see the LEague panicking about new prospective sponsors for it yet, but totally agree with the sentiment- the only way the fans can show their feelings about all of this is to kick up a fuss, protest and get on the leagues back and put pressure on them

I've heard this story via two separate routes, admittedly 3rd hand but from people I would trust absolutely with good inside info. 'You know when those you are protesting against are desperate for you not to...that you're making an impact !' Moz Baker on Twitter.

There's the Sky Blue Trust coach leaving from Cov Baths at 6.30 - might be safer option in case LAST's flight gets delayed. email: media@skybluetrust.co.uk

will be back at about 4.30 should be ok
Any way will go home and change then will get my whistle out of retirement for this one game sorry in advance if it pisses you of but the cause comes first.
Will piss off the local cops as they have threatened us before but im sure can give them the run around for a while.
bigger the nuisance the better no more time for mamby pamby stuff.

PUSB Bring us home

Steve.B50 · Aug 12, 2014

This little event tomorrow is now even more important than before, if anyone is free and can either get to Northampton or join us on the coach (Coventry Baths at 6.30) they should try and make it.

"Also apparantly they tried to get the game switched to the Ricoh but SISU would have none of it."........................................The last six(6) words of that sentence speaks volumes on SISU's intentions. Is there anyone naive enough(of a person or action, showing a lack of experience, wisdom, or judgement.) to actually believe SISU have any scruples, morals, or any thought whatsoever for fans of CCFC ?...............Sorry I forgot about RFC and his "Crew"
