Sorry to milk the whole Twist and Shout thing. (4 Viewers)

Fluffsta · Jan 29, 2014

I am utterly overwhelmed with the response the Coventry fans at half time video as got over the last three days since I uploaded it. First of all thanks for sharing it. The first place I shared my video was right here on these forums and within a hour it took off from here.

Since I uploaded the video I have had many emails from many places regarding the video such as Getty Images and as far away as Singapore News Network and a few companies who wanted to buy the promotional rights to the video. I recently got into a one year contract with a company to further the exposure of the video, they have rented space to 'put' my video with companies such as MSN, Yahoo, AOL and lots of Asian web companies. I want to do as much as I can for my club so this is why the video now has adverts.

The biggest enjoyment I have had so far is reading the many pages of comments all over the web. The worst comments I have read by any football fans on the net is about the price of a pint at the Emirates! It's also great when people say they have a soft spot for us now or we are their new 2nd club or even just football fans are now more aware of our clusterfuck of a situation.

The Why and When protest was an absolutely great idea and well thought out, I will never forget the buzz I got after holding up my 'why' and 'when' pieces of A4 paper from the applauding Gooners and I will never forget the mood of the Coventry fans throughout the entire day we had in London. We are a credit to ourselves, from the pubs to being inside the Emirates, half time party which I was lucky to be a part of let alone my video going viral, to the fans after the game having a great time in the pubs, Arsenal and Cov fans getting along and getting drunk together even though one team lost 0-4.

A list of links where Twist and Shout got a little more exposure for our problems and plight.

You just never know how much weight to the argument this could Garner ,well done KCIC ,SBA and Fluffsta.:claping hands::claping hands::claping hands:

ccfchandsy · Jan 29, 2014

Absolutely well done mate

Monkeyface · Jan 29, 2014

Yeah well done Fluffsta, although I prefer your video in the 12 Pins, the one with that good looking fella in the red coat and cap.

pusbccfc · Jan 29, 2014

Fluffsta, your videos have been excellent. That one of the hill protest was brilliant too. Hope to see more!

We'll_live_and_die · Jan 29, 2014

C'mon Fluffy, what we all want to know is how much you have earn't from it. Good on ya.

What he said!

All the vids are great, sad to think how much is being missed by so many.

Dont apologise for milking it, long time since there was anything like a feel good factor, them vids provide one if only for a short time.

Seeing them made so many feel good, proud, can only be a good thing!

wingy · Jan 29, 2014

Have the Club not requested a link??

VegetableSamosa · Jan 29, 2014

I always said we needed to send something viral to help the cause and you've only gone and done it! Great work and great video. Definitely something the fans can feel good about.

dadgad · Jan 29, 2014

Brilliant effort.
This settles any argument for the "Cov in Cov" battle cry, "Twist and Shout" it is!

No! What did we expect

Elvis Pressley · Jan 29, 2014

keep it up I hope it rolls over a million soon

smouch1975 · Jan 29, 2014

More hits than me Fluffsta. NOT happy!!

mark82 · Jan 29, 2014

There's some proper retarded comments on that video. Why do people watch something they know they won't lIke then comment saying they don't like it. Get a fucking life. Worse than people on here.

470k now by the way.

VegetableSamosa · Jan 29, 2014

We've picked up a lot of new fans/admirers from this and made more people aware of our plight. Maybe it's something to springboard off of? Forgetting all this protest malarkey as, to be honest, I don't think it is working. Maybe spend the rest of the season being amiable and likable (we all saw the comments from the likes of Preston who thought we deserved it and had no sympathy). Go to away games and make a tonne of noise, have fun. Talk to other fans, at the grounds and on their forums. Don't bring the politics into it much, but instead get people to like us more. They will see our amazing support, then see the stark contrast when they visit Sixfields and see how this whole mess is killing our club first hand. They will be more likely to be sympathetic when we talk about our problems if they see us a bunch of good lads, who know how to have fun, but are having our club ripped away from us. Hopefully if that all works then next season we will have a big enough support base from outside of the City to make bigger impacts upon the FA, the league and the game as a whole. Take it back to grass roots. All of us versus everything wrong in football, instead of a few of us from Coventry against a hedgefund. Maybe that will get results?

87mint · Jan 30, 2014

it won't. sadly we are essentially irrelevant

Fluffsta · Jan 30, 2014

Should hit half a million any time now.

I think you have a point there mate.

Moving today Wingy. Got a long day ahead of me.

Jackoskyblue · Jan 31, 2014

With the carlsberg signs in the background it would make a great online advert for them,
If carlsberg did fans ....

dadgad · Feb 1, 2014

Message for Fluffsta;
Have you linked your vid to the Epetition?
Clearly, both have universal appeal.

letsallsingtogether · Feb 1, 2014

over half a million now on the one and nearly 14,000 on the other version...

dadgad · Feb 1, 2014

Yeah, but only 3k for the petition.
Needs t go viral.

letsallsingtogether · Feb 1, 2014

thaiskyblue · Feb 1, 2014

why has he closed it down ?

letsallsingtogether · Feb 1, 2014

Usual one poster goes off subject we respond and we are all children so really should close down every post that goes off subject...

Oopps this one will be next,

thaiskyblue · Feb 1, 2014

This is really important.

mark82 · Feb 1, 2014

It's been stickied at the top so everyone can see it.

dadgad · Feb 2, 2014

Snozz_is_god said:

The e petition.
The point is:
If fluffsta can get 0.5 Mill hits for his opportunistic video can he link it to the petition? We only need 20% of the hits he's already got. Way t go, surely?

Maybe if it was on from the start. Expect it Wil tail off a bit now.

How does you receiving advertisement revenue help the club?

How do they know they won't like it before they watch it?
