While ever stuff like this is being based about on Facebook, I doubt there will be much of a pitch invasion.

 

COPIED OFF ANOTHER POST.
CAN SEE WHERE HES COMING FROM TBH.
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.....

Can you tell him to fvvvck off?

Cant stand them lot since the Palmer incident - absolutely went to town on us as a fanbase, almost like we were all Reform voters

Maybe the weather could do the pitch invasion and get a home game against Coventry abandoned again, like it did in 2007.

Be to do some great erm skidding.

 

I used to love skidding as a kid. Used to ruin plenty of school shoes.

Might try to restart it. Anyone else into it?

Looking at the weather tomorrow, think it’s enough to literally pour cold water on any protests. Nobody is going to be sitting on wet grass.

 

I thought there was little chance of anything happening, but think the weather makes it zero chance 

Can't you just put a coat on?

I would do anything to save my club, but I draw line at a wet bottom.

Remember the Coventry away cup game on the way to our Rumbelows/League cup victory.

 

Think it was the quarter final stage. Was at school at the time but managed to get to every game, home and away, think the original game was postponed late on in the day because of a frozen pitch. Was gutted when I found out - I still had algebra to come.

 

We do like our games with Coventry to get postponed/abandoned...

Haha! I remember that well, as I twagged work for the afternoon, only to get home to discover the match was abandoned! I did manage to get to the rearranged game though

Yeah, we got to the rearranged game as well - didn't involve any 'wagging' either lol.

What a load of absolute cack this is.

 

a.) We had it rough for a bit but here's all the ways you're wrong and we did everything better

b.) Jilted lover bit at the end about not being asked to co-operate. Who is this about again? 

c.) I'll tell you we understand your issues but don't you dare ruin our day out!!!

 

Sanctimonious crap. 

Agree this is a gripe against us following on from the game at Hillsborough...pathetic

I’m really hoping for a pitch invasion and abandonment now

If the rain keeps up to lunchtime tomorrow,    match called off due to waterlogged pitch.

The trust have been liaising with other supporter trusts to ensure everyone gets behind the black and gold campaign. We've done it with Stoke, Wrexham and Grimsby so no reason why we wouldn't have done so with Coventry. 

Walk to the match in the rain without my daughter who is at dance class to be sat surrounded by empty seats

or

sit at home in the warm then I can turn the game off when we’re getting pumped 

I think im only going now to get value from my season ticket
