Oxford dictionary

Scab:
3.1derogatory A person who refuses to strike or join a trade union or who takes the place of a striking worker.

Strike:
(of employees) refuse to work as a form of organized protest, typically in an attempt to obtain a particular concession or concessions from their employer.


There was no strike, therefore there were no scabs.

C**t:
1.1 An unpleasant or stupid person.

There are a few of these though.

No different to the day oners during the 1984 miners strike, had they all stayed away from week one the Northampton episode would have died within a month.

Ah yes, that's right. One of the times it was coveniently decided Fisher was telling the truth.

Well that puts the whole move into perspective. How was anyone supposed to know what the truth of the matter was, temporary move or moving for good. The fact is that you cannot believe a word that comes out of his mouth.
The independent view from the judge was that there was no good reason to move our club out of Coventry and that the only reason was to distress ACL. Therefore he was trying to promote the best interests of Sisu over the best interests of CCFC and its supporters.

You stated the move to Sixfields may have been permenant

it was a three year temporary move
Click to expand...

You have no way of knowing that.
In fact if you were clever enough you would know that the 3 years was to build a new stadium and after 18 months nothing had happened.
To help you even more CCFC had just financed a new pitch at Sixfields so they were in for the long stay and were only going through the stadium motions to pacify the weak FL.
In reality CCFC were only out in Northampton to put ACL into administration (court papers) and who knows if they could bluff the FL into enough time to obtain the freehold on the Ricoh.
In fact Seppella had already said CCFC would only come back as owners and as such how can CCC be blamed for planning without CCFC.

All the questions below have the same answer. "No".

Should SISU have withheld rent?
Should Fisher have moved us to Northampton?
Did CCC need to hand the Ricoh to Wasps?

Why would you care anyway?

If you lived in Northampton and CCFC rolled into town you'd support them and wouldn't give a fuck about CCFC fans left stranded with no team to support.

Being lectured by you on franchising is like turning up to a lecture on Good Childcare Tips and find its being presented by the McCanns.

I have always taken the view not to judge my fellow fans whether that is attending Sixfields, NOPM or starving the club of income by not renewing their ST until SISU have gone. I realise others are quicker to judge and pigeonhole. Fair enough.

Both can exist here. In fact I would even say that both need each other to survive.
CCFC need to get a good deal with Wasps and Wasps need to make it financially viable for CCFC.
It won't happen under SISU though.

It was temporary. Every agreement and arrangement was temporary.

Thats even without using hindsight.

Can people really not grasp that?

Yes it was temporary. I also believed that it would be temporary. And it proved to be temporary.
Some people didn't believe that it would be and who can blame them with the rest of the bollocks we've been told.

Can you grasp that?

I can, but maybe not when they are trying to tell others it wasn't temporary to make out it isn't different from Wasps.

This is the pattern.

Person A makes a silly statement
Person B uses facts and evidence to counter the statement or totally disprove it
Person A either says "stop defending SISU" or brings up Sixfields.
