Rubbish. We are now here in this moment dealing with the situation as it is. This here is one of the problems of this mess. Let’s look to the future and the present not the past.

Sometimes you do something cause it will change the situation, sometimes you do something for publicity and sometimes you do something cause you want to provide an opportunity for people to come together because there’s nothing else that can be done,

I don’t Get a sense of what we need to do against wasps at the moment. learning from the past though we need to identity a way of embarrassing wasps for accepting the councils request to stick to their guns on the indemnity

Well written letters doesn’t seem to work they ignore them. Our email doesn’t seem to work they can be polite and not answer.

I think upping the pressure through local media has some merit but how and who?

I'm all for disruption at a wasps game etc. Youd need a good couple of hundred inside though.
The problem is when we do come back to the ricoh a lot of people on here are happy to sit back and carry on the status quo regarding sisu. When we were protesting at games years ago we were told to stop causing trouble and back the lads bullshit. Look at that sheff utd game a few years back. Direct action was required to get it in the media about our scum owners but a large proportion of you on here moaned like fuck.
You want to disrupt a wasps game but where were you all back then? A lot of people wont help now.

I don't agree with disrupting either match to be honest.

Even then, I am sure you can see the difference if somebody is bothered about their team being put off and disrupted compared to a team they don't support.

You mean the game that started a downward spiral of results in a toxic atmosphere that directly cost us 2 points that night? The point at a Wasps game is if it affects them none of us care as they shouldn't be here. At one of our games it directly affects our team. Back the lads is far from bollocks. Without a rich Russian, unless you really believe Hoffman is the answer, then we have seen the success built in no small part on a good rapport between fans and players, why ruin that?

Protest at SISU outside, have marches I'll be there as I have done previously, protest at Wasps, the council office and on non match days too, I'm all for it, but don't affect the games or I'll one of those telling to shut the fk up and behave.

just block the A444 roundabout with bodies and tell them you are from Extinction Rebellion, police won't touch it.

Could even get Emma Thompson to fly over from LA.

I’m not going to become engaged in a drawn our argument on this but will just say my piece here. There is absolutely no proof that any of the protests at games cost the team any points. The truth is that the team that season was abject and had no problem in losing games protests or not. It’s ironic that the game where both sets of fans disrupted proceedings, Charlton away, we lost 3-0. Obviously the protests affected only one side that day, us.
Sisu have not changed. They are still the worst owners we have ever had in my opinion and do not care about our club or our fans.
The fact is that at the moment the obstacle to us playing in Coventry are Wasps, who are equally odious. Like Sisu, but perhaps even more so, they do not like negative publicity. A protest inside the stadium, particularly if the game is televised, I am sure they would hate. It doesn’t need to be disruptive of the game necessarily, as the point would be made simply by a big enough group making a loud enough noise. Disruption of the game may even be counter productive as it may be used as another reason that they could use to prevent us returning. “CCFC fans are hooligans. We won’t have them “our” stadium”.
I would make no apology for supporting the protests that happened against Sisu. Our situation both on and off the field was desperate and a large proportion of the blame can be laid at their door. To expect everyone to simply lie down an accept what was going on would have been as wrong then as it would be with Wasps now. Wasps have got off far too lightly and hopefully the heat will be turned up on them now.

The whistle that cost us a goal when we had our backs to the walls?

Protests that attract the police will largely not work. Most supporters will not want to run the risk of being arrested and getting a criminal record. Wasps will not take kindly to any act of disruption by blocking the traffic on the A444. My suggestion of parking on the streets works as long as a lot of people do it. Wasps can't point the finger because it's not something that can be proven.
If we were Leeds United I think the situation would be different. Their supporters are huge in number and the more radical ideas put about on this thread would more likely work. For instance, if Cov supporters were to block the A444 in a deliberate act to disrupt a Wasps game then Wasps would simply threaten to permanently end all dialogue and that would put an end to it. If it were another club, such a Leeds, I would bet on their more fanatical supporters doing it over and over again in utter defiance until wasps simply cannot continue.

What's more important? The long term future of the club or 1 game? Get a grip you sisu rent boy.
