For the 1,645th time, it wasn't Boxing Day.
We were away to Villa on Boxing Day.
We played Norwich on Dec 27th.

Funny how these threads turn into arguments, about sisu and owners, its not about that they will be gone one day, its about the academy that i dont want to be gone one day, and how do we save it, and getting the big brains on here to come up with stuff.
Why would you do that if you are a Wasps fan?I've signed it, but I still fear its impact will be negligible.

Yeah, I see what you did there. I've deleted my other response. :angelic:Why would you do that if you are a Wasps fan?
Sorry.
I must be a Wasps fan.
I also don't recall anything about Wallace's goal or anything flashed up on the scoreboard.
I am now thinking I couldn't have been there.
And why the 1,645th time? Tad worrying that you are counting. Is it from a dungeon and with you scratching notches on the wall with a piece of loose masonry?
You can go and get fucked. Personal favourite was the home win 5-4 against Norwich. 1979 was it? Can't be arsed to look it up.

You can go off people you know!Boxing Day, wasn't it?
Ah look, another voice of reason......Whats the next step after the petition? and when?
Whats the next step after the petition? and when?
I think all the parties already know how important it is. I'm not sure a petition will change a thing.Jan Mokrzycki from the Sky Blue Trust, which has more than 3,000 members, said: “There’s no numbers target, the aim is to show all those people who have the task of saving the academy what keeping it going just how important this issue is to the supporters.
It's because they've launched their own campaign. All part of Mr Impartial, Les Reid's masterplan I've no doubt.To put into English what the CT didn't manage - There is no specific target for this - the intention is to show to those who have it within their remit to save the academy, and keep it going, that the fans care. If the powers that be think that fans don't care and won't kick up a fuss they will do as they please and stuff the few objectors. This is aimed at CCFC, CSF, Wasps and indirectly CCC. It is not about allocating blame or finger pointing or digging up history but about forcing those who can to come up with a workable solution for the future of the academy. All parties have been spoken too by the Trust and all have said its important and they are willing to work together but as ever actions speak louder than words. Personally I feel that 1000 signatures isn't great - the CT covered it briefly and the Cov Observer have for whatever reason ignored it altogether. Maybe supporters don't quite grasp the seriousness of the situation and its consequences for the future of our club?

It does mention the Trust's twitter campaign ID.
You seem incapable of differentiating between the club and the owners. Also, his job as a journalist is to be impartial and report all sides of the story. I'm glad that you've agreed he's not impartial though.He's not impartial he's defending the club. Somewhat more honourable than the stance deployed by other media outlets.
Well if thats the job of a journalist then they ought to shut down pretty much every paper goingYou seem incapable of differentiating between the club and the owners.

No I don't.What other side of the story is there? You don't agree with the observers stance on this?
No I don't.
To quote from the article.
"In 2014, then ‘London Wasps’ were gifted the Ricoh Arena by Coventry City Council and Alan Edward Higgs Charity on a huge 250-year lease not offered to the Sky Blues it was built for – a decision involving taxpayers’ money rightly open to legal challenge."
Gifted? Incorrect. Legal challenge? Yes, but that has failed multiple times, but not mentioned. In fact, to mention the Stadium deal at all in relation to the Academy is disingenuous as the two issues are not interlinked other than by the parties involved.
The campaign from the Observer differs from that of the SBT because it makes it clear that there is a bias by leaving out important details that would provide balance. I'm all for the Public's voice being heard here, but back to my original comment, who does the petition get delivered to and who needs to act on it? At the moment, only one party has failed to lay out a plan of action and that's the CCFC board and owners.
So WAS the Ian Wallace goal a "spectacular " overhead kick.
Did the display on the scoreboard say 5 - 5 . Or was it "oh no"
Fuck me, what a child you are.It was a spectacular overhead kick
The scoreboard said "orca is a wasps loving prick" - it was clearly looking into the future.
Fuck me, what a child you are.
Back to name calling so soon.
I don't remember reading the campaign's core objective as being that, but I do agree CCFC should be the leading club in the City. Unfortunately, the owners have done precious little to defend this position. I didn't want Wasps here and I'd still rather they fucked off, but they're not going to, so SISU and the board need to act.So you don't agree with the campaigns core objective of putting the football club as the leading sports club in Coventry? That's strange.
Given that the football club were offered half share of ACL for more money than wasps paid for the whole of the company and a six times increase in the lease I would say "gifted" is a fair assessment. Why don't you?
As for your original point is wasn't really about the petition - you took up two threads discussing the amount of contribution the club had made and claimed promises were broken. That wasn't anything to do with the petition.
It was also you who cast doubt on Reid and his credibility yet I believe Reid was unfairly dismissed from his previous job - I forget why - perhaps you can join the dots for me?
Yay 1 out of 2 ain't too bad , I was only Lickle.It was a spectacular overhead kick
The scoreboard said "orca is a wasps loving prick" - it was clearly looking into the future.
That's genuinely funny, even though I'm the butt of the jokeYay 1 out of 2 ain't too bad , I was only Lickle.
That scoreboard was ahead of its time.
Says the first person to swear on this thread :jawdrop:Given you have already told 3 posters to fuck off already that's pretty funny.
Out of interest Grendel, did Norwich score again at the West end to make it 5 - 5It was a spectacular overhead kick

No mate... Jim Blythe saved a penalty very, very late on to keep the score at City 5-4 NorwichOut of interest Grendel, did Norwich score again at the West end to make it 5 - 5
Only for the Ref to rule it out as he'd already blown for time.
Or has my brain somehow made this up over time ?
