Selling kcic t-shirts and handing out ePetition leaflets at Coventry market today, and not a cross word except for being visited by a person who announced themselves as being a member of the SCG who came to tell me how kcic is completely wrong. Just as the pro acl people have their mantra so the pro sisu people now seem to have a set series of points which run along the lines of, as I was harangued with today: sisu have invested £50m+ which shows what good owners they are; the Higgs court case shows the council has a lot to hide and sisu will win the JR; Simon Gilbert is pro council whereas Les Reid told the truth; Joy Seppala is a really nice person; the sisu skeleton argument is the absolute truth of the situation. When I said I wasn't interested in the JR or who's to blame but am interested only in how to get ccfc back to the ricoh asap the reply was 'well you're anti-sisu'. My reply was 'I've never bought into being pro/anti sisu/acl but like the majority of fans believe the council and acl have questions to answer but sisu are primarily responsible for moving ccfc to ntfc - and the ePetition is about calling all parties to account'. Their reply was something angry but inaudible and then to storm off! Really does seem there are acl and sisu fundamentalists with beliefs which they see as gospel and just refuse to engage in debate - either you agree with their fundamentalist belief or they just don't want to know. Thankfully, talking to scores of normal people today is great reassurance that while both angry and hugely saddened by what is going on (and also very despondent) the great majority of fans have no truck with the extremists at all. So a good day in the end.
Michael, do us one of you're equations again. You know the ones, where ACL charge as high rent (or fees)as possible and it still being better financially than renting sixfields, justifying the milking of the club, but in a positive way. They're my favourite.
That was a smart, witty response (not):thinking about:
I've not heard anyone use an ironic 'not' since Gareth Keenan in The Office.
Just because you've never heard it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Your wrong on this.
I have never heard the term main stand brigade, sky blue stander, west stander so no you are usual talking rubbish just for the sake of arguing.
Whatever anybody's stance is, it is clear that the group supposedly representative of the supporter base put together to have a close link to the club management is clearly in Fisher/ML/Sisu's pocket.
Why this is a problem is that it is not accurately representing the views of the fan base at the meetings it holds.
Even for the sake of levelling it out a bit, the lack of a SBT seat on the Scg is surely a sign of which side of the fence they sit on.
There is trust people at the scg?
Thought the last 'meeting' seemed to suggest they (or at least the chair) didn't want them there?
My point being if they are weeded out then the group isn't as impartial/representative as it should be

when are we getting the proof you claim to haveThink you're going to find out that the person you quoted has 'hit the nail on the head' but I'm prepared to just wait and see. PUSB!

Funnily enough I was on a bus today and had no hassle at all except for this eastern European bloke who kept looking at me funny.
Oh and Grendel I was a westender a term that was used for decades any city supporter should know this.
It is odd that someone who claims to be a long standing city supporter didn't know this. It was such a common term.

So Torch it is wrong to call someone a Sixfielder but it is alright when you call them Hillers, NOPM Brigade an such so the double standards are out again.
Oh and Grendel I was a westender a term that was used for decades any city supporter should know this.
This applies to GrendelIf you have never heard of these terms, there is no way you have been a long standing Coventry fan. The statement you made shows you are just a Sisu feed boy/girl

Using that same logic. If you take the suxfields rent and equate it to the number of paying attendees Cardoza and NTFC are milking the club many times worse than ACL ever did. At least there was enough in the kitty from the ticket sales ti pay the rent at the Ricoh. Also goes to prove that it never was and never will be about the rent.

We even had the excellent fanzine called The Westender
Subfields and now suxfields. The creative juices have been flowing

Creative context aside I'm right though, aren't I.
I wouldn't like to comment.
