I have advocated something similar too.the best way to get rid of SISU would to go completely against not one penny more and everyone get up to the Ricoh in huge numbers supporting Slade and the team. If we all had the common understanding that we are certainly not doing this for SISU but for the club we love. The more support the team get the more likely we are to have a less poisonous atmosphere at the club and he more supported the players would feel. We would be soley responsible for turning the club atmosphere around and with success SISU could then sell the club for a better return and we would have owners who would be more suitable for the club.

Thanks for that Tim.................thing is history has shown us that, you wouldn't invest the money from the extra revenue in reality would you ? There would be some creative accounting that meant you would come up with some excuse or another to snaffle the funds away and successive managers are left with scraps to play with and usually too late in the close season to make a difference.
My choice bitches would be Helen Mirren, the one with the large bosoms from the weather and Anna Friel.I lke thr idea of paxkng ground for a set amount of games before saying if you dont run club properly thrn we go back to this.
Your choice bitches
Why don't you two.........My choice bitches would be Helen Mirren, the one with the large bosoms from the weather and Anna Friel.
Maybe, but I'm not suggesting a 3some!Someones jealous
A threesome would be me and Carol Kirkwood's chest.Maybe, but I'm not suggesting a 3some!
I'm not sure weather she'd be very happy about that?A threesome would be me and Carol Kirkwood's chest.
I'd be hoping for a warm front coming up from the south.I'm not sure weather she'd be very happy about that?
A large and vociferous crowd can only do so much........we need investment and astute management to get better players in most positions and then success can lead to increased support. It's just too expensive and tiresome for most to go on the premise that our hated owners might just re-invest the fans outlay. As I say recent history shows they'd rather have a healthy balance sheet and large earnings for the directors over better players.I understand what you are saying, which I guess is a result of massive and
understandable mistrust in SISU. However, there is currently massive apathy around our club, reflected in poor attendances and a generally poor atmosphere surrounding the club, and this is showing no sign of dislodging our owners. So I agree with the posters on here who advocate increasing support for the team, and creating a positive atmosphere around the place. We might start winning, and showing that we could be a worthwhile investment for potential buyers.
Carol Kirkwood? She is 55 soon. But yes I would.A threesome would be me and Carol Kirkwood's chest.
When times are hard and the future is bleak, that is the moment the club needs backing more than ever. Nobody finds it hard when you are successful, as the saying goes "failure is an orphan,"The Die is cast I fear.
Bang on shmmeeeThere's always been a strategy to turn us around if Sisu ever wanted to Do It:
- apologise profusely to fans
- appoint local chairman
- stop court action
- lay out clear plan including stadium plans
It's fairly clear they have no interest in turning it around.
She is to be 55 soon?Carol Kirkwood? She is 55 soon. But yes I would.
It's a chicken or egg situation isn't it. Which comes first the fans turning up or the team actually showing consistent levels of success. (Winning more than they are losing or unbeaten at home would be good starts)
I do not think it is a realistic proposition to expect people in their thousands to take a leap of faith given the tripe performances the team give week in week out. As much as anything it is the dire results the team have achieved that has driven fans away. But the argument goes that there has been no investment in players which has caused that, I would say there has but at a lower quality. There have been many mistakes in recruitment the last few seasons, the likes of Armstrong the exception not the rule. Teams with smaller crowds and turnovers are basically safe above us this season.
Will people turn up in significant numbers to make the difference .... I just do not see it happening. Will it make Ccfc more attractive to investors? Will a short term act achieve that? Will it bring the price expected by the owners down or put it up? Do we really think possible new owners can not see the potential a little success could bring in terms of crowds and income?
Team success will bring crowds back but it has to be successful consistent team performance. It will also get the team noticed and investors interested. A short term increase in the blind hope of regime change is not a long term commitment to turn up. As such it is a kind of protest and not sure I would put much more value on it. In any case the selling price imo is all about maximising the amount ARVO can get back and not about real value or crowd size
If the crowds were to turn up and suddenly the team start winning doesn't that just say the players were good enough all along so have been under performing? Selling the fans short?
Another thought would be if fans turn up, the team succeeds what does the extra cash get spent on. Given what I know of the debts in the owners position I would drive down the debt owed or actually pay the interest if the short term objective were to sell up and go.
But what are the objectives...... and could thousands of fans taking an expensive blind leap of faith affect that any more than the other protests do.
The protests won't make Sisu go, but they do provide a common thread for a divided fan base (even if we can't agree the best protest or whether to or not). Thing with protests in football they are so easily deflected by a little success. Above all protests makes fans feel they are doing something when they seem frustrated and powerless
I do not see packing the ground as making the difference. In fact it might even encourage Sisu to hang in there longer. Bottom line is that most supporters do not have the faith in the current squad to dig deep and make that leap, even if it could work ......
So, to summarize, we are doomed !!
Dammed if we do, dammed if we don't
I haven't got a problem with that but it would be even more embarrassing when 15,000 turn up for a free game.People might not like this but make one game free on a first come first served bases I am a season ticket holder but not to bothered with that. Fill the stadium create a bit of atmosphere for once.
