Coventry tickets- Non ST.

In terms of numbers of fans contributing and taking part I honestly don't know how anyone could have expected it to be as huge as it is currently 

 

I think everyone should shake off their Sheffielder ‘everything’s rubbish’ mentality, shake themselves, and start to recognise, acknowledge, and celebrate the overwhelming unity that is happening before our eyes 

 

The remaining few are totally irrelevant now - that’s how successful the protests are in terms of numbers 

 

Even if the last few never change their stance and continue to hand their cash over to Chansiri it’s a total irrelevance as their numbers are so tiny 

 

nobody could have predicted the huge success in terms of numbers of fans taking action 

 

Its incredible 

 

Time to focus on that and not John and Julie who pay on the gate and buy a pint - they’re irrelevant 

 

 

Just to reiterate also these are just my opinions and the Trust are the ones to acknowledge as the drivers of the protest and its success 

Baffling responses

Just baffling

Time for a truce and a ceasefire on any fans still going 

 

Nothing positive ever comes from the witch hunts or attempted shaming 

 

Instead focus on the success of the protests, the clear evidence of it working and the sheer huge number of our fans digging in to join the protest to attempt to raise awareness

 

 

Baffling

I come in peace, as Coventry City fan. But not just as a fan, but I actually organised some of the protests, not against the last set of owners, but the set of crooks before them over twenty years ago.

The thing is, and I’m not just saying this because I am coming up on Saturday, but going straight for the nuclear option of causing a match to be abandoned, that won’t cut it and it will lose you support in the wider football community. And going there, before the lower options of disruption means you’ve nowhere left to go, you can’t escalate. And thinking it’s a TV match, yeah, it’s not the main TV match. With the expansion of 12.30 kick-offs this season, literally the only people who will watching this are the fans of our two clubs, and maybe there will be people glancing at it in foreign bars that have twelve screens.

You know your owner doesn’t give a poo, but you haven’t gone through the learning experience we did for two decades: the Football League doesn’t give a poo. I mean we were sort-of declared bankrupt twice, we ended up moving out of Coventry twice. The Football League did not give a poo about Coventry City not playing in the City of Coventry TWICE. That’s a level of perspective you may be missing here.

You want to have a protest and disrupt the match, fair enough, but don’t feel that an abandonment will make any more impact to the Football League than a disruption would. In all the years we had protests, we NEVER ONCE caused a match to be abandoned

If your goal is for the Football League to notice, then go to their London offices, I would say when you play Charlton, but more likely Millwall, as that’s a midweek, so for those of you who can take the time off, that’s what I’d be doing.

You should also really have been asking us to go with the black and gold thing. That was out away kit last season. I’m sure we’d have gone for that if you’d asked. But you seem not to have thought of us as other football fans who have had problems and might sympathise. That is disappointing, For example, many years ago we worked together with the plastic pigs at The Valley.

You should have done that, at least treat the fans of a club which has gone through the grinder with the respect that should deserve. We did that with Charlton Athletic. You should have done that with us.

Hope you get your terrible owner to sell, but his ownership is not our fault! Please don't punish us for that. Years ago we held pitch invasions during a live TV game (which was THE TV game at the time), and the moment that second invasion ended, the Blades scored and we lost.....

im sure he feels like hes in a position to offer a bit of good advice but to me it comes across as a selfish act, cant help but feel like he doesnt want the game abandoned due to them having some momentum at the minute.

or have i read it wrong.

To stop this stupidity Neil you simply have to do 2 things 

1) Let people see the reactions

2) Introduce an unlike down arrow reaction 

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing to a post, let people do it and let their reaction be public.

I'm not bothered about any of that mate - I'm just curious why someone would be looking to undermine or deny the absolute sheer scale of the number of people taking part in the protests

My laughing emoji is a joke btw....  

Of course Coventry fans dont want the match abandoned. Best form theyve been in since exiting the premier league and scoring

for fun. Most realistic fans would have this down as an absolute coventry banker.

Weird. Starts off pretty well but then somehow comes to the opinion that we are showing them disrespect.

Have Coventry sold all their allocation? If so the some potg tickets will have been bought by the away fans who couldn't get in the away end but sense an easy victory and fancy a good day out.

I read that totally different to you. Coventry City went through hell and no one gave a shiit.

I certainly don’t feel that a pitch invasion causing the game to be abandoned will help our cause one bit.

It will bring the wrath of the EFL and possibly lose us some empathy. The club would suffer, not Chansiri. Points deductions will be like water off a duck’s back to Despot. Points deductions are not fair on the players who are doing their utmost to help the club (not Chansiri). Points deductions for breaching regulations are bad enough, that’s on Chansiri. But points deductions because of fans actions? That to me is totally wrong.

That’s my opinion.

Thanks for the thorough explanation. It's a bit like a parent explaining how Father Christmas gets into your house.

I hope you're well mate
Have a top weekend

I used to be frustrated with people buying them too, but live and let live. People still buy away tickets and those people aren’t criticised. They’ve not given anything of their hobby and love up and it’s understandable that some want to go to the odd home game
