Nobody is lashing out or squirming. I am quite comfortable knowing it's a fact I have spent a fair bit of time coming up with ideas and posting them on here, not sure why I'd need to squirm about it?

Why indeed? But you are. I haven't read 99% of your posts so I'm in no position to say you haven't come up with some ideas but frankly it's strange that you keep saying "I've given it lots of thought and had lots of ideas" without giving an actual example. Why won't you?

I suppose there's always the Italian model. You turn up outside your owners business headquarters and demonstrate. You start bringing the issues of the club outside the confides of the stadium and into the world that they care about. It'll freak them out if nothing else and won't be good for business, do it for long enough and they'll want rid. I believe a few hundred fans turned up outside the house of Inter Milan's captain in protest to remarks he made. Didn't Charlton fans disrupt their owners birthday meal?

I made a suggestion about everyone taking whistles to the match but of course people are so engrossed in getting one over someone else that it has gone unnoticed. It's very effective, cheap, non violent and anyone can do it. Still, who gives a toss.

It hasn't gone un-noticed although I am not 100% about whistles as it will affect the game.

There are other things though that can make noise that don't sound like the ref, can also hand them out to the kids so they can be having the time of their lives making stupid noises

If SISU do leave then who is actually going to buy City? Realistic buyers not blaggers like Alki Dave

You mean protest outside SISU's head office?

I did one of those protests once! Is that an idea too or are you just mentioning it as a historical example you didn't think was a good idea?

Nobody is seriously thinking that a funeral protest will make the owners leave. But it's about creating a hostile environment with as much discontent as possible that will make life uncomfortable for them (always assuming they care, which they may not) and make it more likely they will sell sooner than they would otherwise. I'm surprised that this isn't obvious to everyone but apparently it's not.

What impact do you think yesterday's protest had on SISU, Joy or Tim.

....er........the idea was that it would effect the game. After all, there would be no point in taking pigs to Charlton if you weren't going to throw them.

Well, you look into various business interests that the owners have. If 100 Cov fans protest outside, doesn't have to be noisy or rowdy. Then others connected to the business will get on SISU'S backs, they don't want the aggro. What businesses are SISU connected with?

It would disrupt the game. It only has to be done once. Perhaps we should blow them on 5 mins and then throw them. Do you think it was wrong what happened at Charlton ? Did a lot of people get annoyed by it ?

Who would buy City? There is no benevolent billionaire on the horizon so when any potential new owners try try to work within a budget are we going to hate them as well?

You are choosing not to spend 10 seconds giving me an example and you can't refer to me to any examples in your history but for some reason you expect me now to take you sufficiently seriously to start searching through years of posts? Wouldn't it be quicker to say something about dressing up as Sky Blue Sam and running on the pitch, or something? At least then you can show you've tried. I don't understand why you refuse to answer the question.

It isn't though really, as they are on threads about ideas to unite the fans.

I don't need to show you I have tried do I? It is much more entertaining to watch you try and make out that I haven't and that I am for some reason squirming.

So why are you ignoring the question and trying to get on up on someone else?

A little hypocritical after your earlier post

I'm not trying to make that out, it's only looking that way because you refuse to answer the question!!!

Let's try another tack. Nick; please can you give me a suggestion about what actions can be planned that could unite CCFC fans against SISU? Please can you make that suggestion in your next reply, even if you have made it elsewhere previously?

Which earlier post is that? Oucho is an expert on the website and likes to comment on my posts, the things I have said and also he knows who else posts on here for sure. Enough to say that things haven't happened before he signed up. I am sure he can use the search function if he really cared.
