Larry – difference is, past month has shown they haven’t got a Scooby when it comes to running this club and no communication between them and the fans has proved to be the main reason in the backlash to them.
I'm up for a demo

cheers for the support.

I was thinking along the lines of banners and chants etc. I'm not sure about a "sit-in" as most people, photographers, media will have fooked off home. Before and during the game, I'd think.

The banner at Villa about Houllier was rough and ready (on a bed sheet!!) but it got attention and was shown across various media. And thats the main objective, to let people know.

Any slogan on a largish scale would work and the more the better.

I'm up for a banner of some sort. Something catchy like:

"SISU: Your time is up. Either get on board with the fans and give us something to support or get out. Thanks for saving us from administration initially, though. Play Up Sky Blues!"

wow we have two facebook pages with 6 and 14 people attending respectively, will be a high attendance!!

I think i9t is a good idea but sadly when backed up by 20 people it looks pathetic! The best way to make a point is for everyone, season ticket and all not to attend. That would make the difference, sadly this is not fair on our players.

Knew the idea would be pissed on by a few.

We as a fan base have sat silently for long enough, while Tom Dick & SISU have done as the pleased, unopposed. Time for us to at least make some noise.

If you want to sit twiddling your thumbs, fine. But don’t give the people trying to be active, stick for trying.

Come on Edgy, you've been one of the main supporters of Ranson and Sisu throughout, anybody questioning "Ray" and Sisu were derided as not being true supporters.

to be honest, our fans aren't passionate enough, why would we be?

Im all up for protesting, feel helpless over my club at the moment and angry that were all ill informed all the time.
If chants started towards to the end of the match and carry on then Im sure more people will stay.
If it does nothing then we tried and I might be our only mention of the football league show that night.

Don't think so Lord. I defended Ranson at points but not to the extend you say. Find me some links to what I've said? And if you do find a random quote, am I not allowed to change my mind? A bit oppressive.

Be lucky to find any links on GMK now Edgy!

Of course you can change your mind, what was previously the dark side may seem a shade brighter now,,

High time for a good old fashioned protest/demonstration I feel. Are you in?

What SISU are doing is simply not good enough for CCFC. Time for us all to get together as one and voice our discontent.

I propose the Watford game. Chants and banners, that sort of thing. Spread the word, every where you go. Facebook, Twitter, forums & website, friends and family.

Either they shape up or feck off.

If your serious about it then something needs organising properly. Have a word with the trust, tell the CET, local new's stations just don't do what we've done in the past and think telling a message board will entice hundreds and only 10 turn out.

It's done nothing at Man U, done nothing @ Newcastle and they've both had things organised through the media.

Like I said they'll only leave if they get their money or pull the plug - I hope it's not the latter but a protest could fule that....

There's a quote about this planned protest on Page 2 of today's CT (and SBT gets a mention too).

Just mentioned on BBC CWR as well, they want phone calls from fans who are planning to protest.

It makes good news though and something to moan about which we love doing.

Like I said in my first post, it will be about 5 people with a sign I wouldn't mind a huge protest but it wouldn't happen.

i think you'll find that most city fans, myself included have been unsettled with Sisu since the beginning of the season at least. and the issue surrounding Boothroyd / no money for transfers / loans / buying the stadium was the last straw for many of us.

i will not be attending the Ricoh until investment is promised to our club of a substantial amount OR Sisu sell the club.

At the end of the day, unless one of us is a billionaire / multi millionaire there is nothing we can do.

I might be cynical but standing with a banner wouldn't do anything, it would mean something drastic like nobody turning up to a game or nobody buying a football shirt next season etc.

When do we really need it then? I'm not saying I agree with a protest but if we're to have one then it does need to be soon, because waiting until we're already in admin will be too late. When do you suggest?

That wouldn't help the club in anyway it would simply ensure that it went into admin and anyway next season's shirt is meant to be nice.

Its wasn’t set out as a protest. More a demo. A demo, voicing our concern about how SISU are running our club. Poor communication, failure to take the club any further forward to when they took over. We were in the shit then and we are still, 3 years later, in the shit now.

If you don’t want to take part, don’t.

And if you’re up for a wind up, try a different topic. This is serious in my eyes.
