I support protests per se and in fact was in favour of all of them until Saturday, but unfortunately some of the people causing the trouble (sat right next to us) seemed to be a few spotty kids having a laugh and enjoying causing a bit of aggo, not principled protesters fighting for the food of the club.
The atmosphere around them was horrible and toxic, I wouldn't like to repeat witnessing that. It's a shame that protests can't happen in the spirit of the pigs rather than through anger and vitriol (although I do understand why people are angry, I'm angry myself).
They sound like 5 absolute dripsCompletely disagree.
I think its just pure thuggery; they are not fans and they are using the club's situation as an excuse.
Chant all you want, protest outside of SISU's offices. But disrupting games, making things hostile for both sets of fans (family's especially) & players and putting the club in a bad name is unacceptable in my opinion. The club will loseout because of it, not SISU
I knew five lads that went on Saturday. All used to go to all away games in the last ten years, one had to cut down due to paternity. None will ever attend an away game again after that.
tell me what you've done to promote our plight to the wider public? everyone keeps slagging off fans making a stance but don't come up with an alternative.
My God, this really wouldn't have been the game for yous in the seventies & eighties,Completely disagree.

more publicity the better when it comes to protests. that's why I imagine sky have chose our game and made us bring it forward, they know the protests could occur and will bring in viewers like Sheffield UtdIt's not really making any promotion of the issue to the wider public is it and is ultimately just a protest at the club and the F A
If someone wants to really raise awareness try tying themselves on a bridge above the M1 abs close it. That's creating public awareness.

Really?
Really what? How many checktrade games been on sky this season? None. the date for the game was scheduled for 21st Feb and now it's 7th due to sky. sky loved the Sheffield Utd protest as it attracts attention.Really?
sky dont show FLT games till semi final stage normally? and qf once in a while
I've never known cup games brought forward 2 weeks from original date. clearly sky want to televise our game. if ccfc were away I doubt our game would be on sky
Really?
or they want content for a week where prem games are on bt
there are no prem games next week

So it is all because of protests that it's on Sky? As I said, really?
Didn't we play on Sky against Preston in the JPT?
So you say we shouldn't break the law during a game as it upsets a few thousand people but it is OK to cause chaos for many multiples more?It's not really making any promotion of the issue to the wider public is it and is ultimately just a protest at the club and the F A

I've asked him the same no replytell me what you've done to promote our plight to the wider public? everyone keeps slagging off fans making a stance but don't come up with an alternative.
Er no where I have said id support doing that?

I think you will find that the team were so scared after the incident that they caved in andWhat I dont get is how they say they didnt go on for the players, in a video it shows one of them clearly shouting at a player.
Standing in front of a horse got women the vote, each to their own but I hope that enough supporters of our club recognize that this wasn't anything other than a protest by individuals who felt they had to do something. I won't say a word against them even if I don't agree with the method.ok, can understand and accept the frustrations and that the heart ruled the head, they acted off the cuff (not sure how smoke bombs can be a spontaneous thing at a football match) but I have questions
- What was actually perceived by the wider public as the purpose of the pitch invasion by 7 or 8 blokes and the smoke bombs?
- did they have anything at the time that actually showed the media in particular they wanted "SISU out"?
- did their protest actually have a message that was clear to everyone on the day?
- what exactly was the aim of going on the pitch, to do what exactly?
- what has it achieved? has it helped the fight to change owners or not?
- is this yet another fans group, who are acting independently of any organised protest movement?
- will their "sacrifice" actually inspire others? or the reverse?
- will their "sacrifice" actually make it harder to protest going forward and therefore diminish the national coverage needed?
- is your future worth it?
- is our fan base more or less united because of it?
- will it bring the solution we want?
I am all for protest, civil disobedience is sometimes necessary, but for it to work it has to carry a growing number of others with it in support, it must have clear purpose and reason, it must make people in the wider public but particularly decision makers take note become interested and not be able to be easily dismissed as unsocial behaviour. Sorry I still can not support or condone illegal actions
I guess we all have different ways to contribute to the fight but getting a criminal record and then being banned from seeing CCFC is not one I would or could choose. Just my opinion

Final thought the protests are crying out for strong leadership and unity of the CCFC fans, I see neither in what happened at Sixfields. I see great division and people doing their own thing. Frustration, anger and a lack of hope is such a bad mix to have
Er no where I have said id support doing that?

And it will take more than a few pigs, a pitch invasion and bit of sky blue smoke to end this misery. This is our club, it's either worth fighting for or it's not.Think you will find it took a lot more than standing in front of the Kings horse, but that action got a nation and in particular the establishment to take interest for a moment and could not be so easily dismissed. What got women the vote was tireless campaigning over a long period of time that built up a groundswell of support, and necessarily with the male politicians. her death happened in 1913, women over 30 got vote in 1918, women over 21 in 1928. Men over 21 in 1918. Hardly an instant change because of her sad death, and you could bet a lot of the male establishment would have been shocked because it was the kings horse
Sixfields was their choice of actions for which they have to take responsibility. I can understand it, I question it, but I do not agree with it. Sensitive issue really and I hope they get treated with some leniency
