Uniting the fans (1 Viewer)

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Oct 19, 2016

We're all CCFC fans,we all want the best however we're always squabbling. I feel like we need to go back to the beginning of this saga and chronicle how we've got to this stage and at what point disagreement begins.

I'll start, I think we can all agree our problems started circa 96 when a certain Mr Richardson said "lets have a punt"

SkyBlueZack · Oct 19, 2016

I can tell you where this is going to end up....

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Oct 19, 2016

Ok we know roughly when severe arguments are gonna start, but if we can focus on one point at a time we might get a breakthrough

oucho · Oct 19, 2016

What's the point? We are where we are.

The real issue is to agree how we can get back to being where we ought to be.

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Oct 19, 2016

Sometimes taking a look back gives a fresh perspective.

I don't think we're gonna agree on a forward plan unless we iron out our issues with the past

I think to unite the fans, the best way would be to not have it as anti sisu, anti ccc, anti acl, anti richardson.

It would be all about CCFC, and CCFC only. People are together for example if we score. That is how it should be approached.

I don't agree with LAST, BHSB, Italia etc etc on most things, but when we score I bet we are all jumping about the same...

That's what it is about!

I kind of agree with you Nick but under our current owners all we are going to do, at best, is stagnate in League 1.

Seamus1 · Oct 19, 2016

I personally think it started when they stopped serving Bovril.

I am of the similar opinion to Nick.

I don't like SISU: I hated the underhand tactics re the Ricoh, effectively trying to devalue an asset to our great city, and in doing so badly affecting businesses who enjoyed a lot of custom and revenue from match days.

I don't like the council: selling off a fantastic city asset to a franchise from London, and selling off the whole city to this Combined Authority farce.

I do though love CCFC (the Coventry one, not Cardiff), and even though I might not rate certain players I will always have hope and encourage them to perform to the very best of their abilities the very moment they each set foot on the grass.

I think the point has come now to stop looking back at what happened and think of ways to move forward (somehow)

If the kids are united, they will never be defeated !!!!

True in July 1978 and true in 2016.
Agree 100% Nick. Stop all this negative shit, get down the Ricoh on Saturday and cheer on the team we all support (allegedly)

It's our history that unites us. It's our club how the hell have we let it be kidnapped by these mugs?

We didn't choose our team it chose us

Where do you get most things? Most of the people on here have one thing in common that is CCFC the only thing we disagree on basically is how to get rid of these owners. All the other stuff is nothing

So the council sell OUR ground to some cockneys. We will never amount to anything whilst we're not making money 365 days a year (this includes potential buyers interest). We now rent our OWN ground back from egg chasers on their terms, but all that matters is how to get rid of SISU? All that is 'nothing'. We'll never own our own ground and without doing so never make a serious push to ever achieve premiership status again but that's OK as long as SISU fuck off?

Please for your own sanity forget the premier league that went out the window when SISU took over

Was a potential good thread.

No I think that dates back to when we sold Highfield Rd.

Attending Sixfields was the tipping point for many fans, this was when much of the infighting started, personally I couldn't believe any self-respecting fan would have attended, it was wrong on EVERY level.

That's a reason to boycott, if ever there was!

All the fans that attended wanted to see 'our team' play... I am sure they never agreed with the principles/politics of it all but everybody has the right to choose what they do in our democratic society and it is wrong to chastise anyone for doing what they did...regardless !!!

Ian1779 · Oct 19, 2016

The Trust under its new chairmanship could go a long way by coming out and condemning the presence of Wasps in our city.

What would that achieve?

Unity

Would also restore the credibility of an organisation that was lost when said nothing about Wasps arriving in the city. It's previous stance on Sixfields was right, and as such should have been forthright in its condemnation, not kissing their proverbial arses.

It may be mawkish but ... Owners, players and managers are temporary, us fans are permanent.

I wanted to watch my team play, but i had the intelligence to understand right from wrong, I was taught it at an early age,

Nick · Oct 19, 2016

Glad this managed to stay about uniting fans.

It's a fine example of why fans won't get on, the same people blame others for division.

Astute · Oct 19, 2016

The best way to unite all of us would be to talk about gay and racist people.

Read the Op, he is asking at what point devisiness set in, supporting the Sixfields move was the catalyst for me.

stupot07 · Oct 19, 2016

The only way to unite fans is to focus on pro ccfc campaigns, like the March and the sky bkur ribbons. I said at when the boycott was first mooted that it would be divisive, as tickets were already on general sale so some people would have already have bought them, on top of thr STH's that have already bought and paid for their tickets. Added to that that its the first saturday home game for over a month, and 3-4 weeks until the next, that those with kids who can't attend night games, would have to go.

Pro ccfc is the way to go.
