We gave you the points...

You did indeed. You could have beaten us but for your antics.

Protesting is a reasonable thing to do but not every time when we were attacking.

Don't you understand that that is why we started singing pro-SISU songs?

It became evident you were trying to disrupt us as much as make your point to SISU.

Charlton went about their protest the right way and we supported them at their place.
 
Some light reading for the Cov fans who think they've had it so bad:
Here's the blurb: This is the story of a football club that, in the 1990s, harboured the UK's biggest white-collar fraudster. This same club was almost bought by someone who couldn't decide whether to be a man or a woman. It also had as chairman a man subject to an international arrest warrant, then another chairman who remains to this day a fugitive from the law, who in turn was succeeded by a man with connections to Libyan arms dealers. To this ensemble make space for the Gurkha Regiment, Interpol, the 'Rat Pack', the Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic, protein-rich algae, a collection of classic motor vehicles, 29,000 piles of dog excrement, a huge Indian city and a tiny Scottish village. Based on years of research by its two authors, Fit and Proper? details the history of the boardroom of Sheffield United Football Club, focusing particularly on the foibles of the men who over three decades from 1980 tried, and largely failed, to turn the 'Blades' into a profitable business and a successful club. Instead, the city that gave the game to the world is home to a club that has now become the footballing arm of an international property development company. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

I have seen Paul Woolhouse at our games this season,I'm saying no more Interpol,you will have to torture me before I reveal anymore details
 
No one cares about us, yet you have been writing threads on here for the past 4 months.

Any of you alive when you last won the FA Cup?

I'm sure many of you were alive in 1987 when you averaged 9000 in the 2nd tier and we won the FA Cup, though.

Good night.

I was also very much alive 5 years earlier when we were in the 4th Division and averaging more than certain established first division sides.
 
What makes a proper club then?

Having supporters who realise that the deck is stacked against them but just accept it and get on with it. Realising that life has bad days as well as good.

You really, really haven't had it worse. Stop being silly.

Tevez? When a points deduction for Wet Spam would have been a minimum punishment. Ched Evans? Jailed for 5 years for a 'crime' he has now been cleared of and who would have seen us out of this goddam league at the first time of asking. A number of 'chairmen' who have robbed us blind, sold our best players and kept us at a lower level than we deserve to be.

I bet you lot weren't complaining when you got a shiny new stadium. Pity these things always come at a cost (except for clubs like West Ham). And that's what makes clubs like Orient and Charlton 'proper'. It's not enough that West Ham are a bunch of criminals, but the generosity of 'the establishment' almost destroys their near-neighbours.

I think your statement demonstrates, fully, how little you know of other clubs.
You're demonstrating a top flight arrogance in thinking that;
a) you are more hard done to than anyone else and
b) you are deserving of anything more than what you have now.

You appear to be so self centred and full of your own importance and still believe that City mean anything to anyone outside of Warwickshire that you fail to see how similar you are to other clubs in decline. That's all it is. It's a shit slope and you are on it yet you bleat and moan like a baby.

Utter self righteous bullshit is all you are drivelling on here.

Blackpool fans have been treated far worse than your sorry lot.
Leyton Orient fans, much much worse
The fans of Charlton face similar straights but show infinitely more dignity about how they go about it.

grafikhaus in post #223 has set out just a small sample of the shit we have had to deal with over the years.
That book referenced by nopigfansintown in post #214 shows that we have gone through a whole heap of trouble with owners far more dodgy than you have now.
Your current lot only want to invest in proportion to the income received - there's no Machiavellian plan to put Cov out of business - it's basic economics driving the strategy - and you are part of the problem. You and the other 35-40,000 part timers going to Wembley to relive the only triumph in your history from 30 years ago.
I'll bet there's no signs of Tim Fisher looking to become Teresa Fisher, is there?

By complete contrast, our stoicism, grit, loyalty and determination keep this club full of life no matter what we have to endure.

Football is cyclical and you'll more than likely come full circle at some stage but whilst you are on the downward spiral suck it up like the rest of us have and stop alienating yourselves by being a self centred set of masturbatory morons.
 
You're demonstrating a top flight arrogance....

And why shouldn't they? On October 13th, 2013 they were United's lowest away crowd of the season - 2,078 (the lowest for a United league match since 7th April 2003 when just 1,325 saw United lose at Wimbledon.)
But to prove Coventry are on the way back, the following season (2014-15) Coventry were again United's lowest away crowd of the season - 2,279 on August 16th, 2014.

It would seem that - unlike that daft fucking elephant on their badge - City fans do forget. :D

Good night.

Since 1987 what big games have you been involved in? What excitement have you had?

cup runs? no
Promotion challenges? no

Just the odd relegation season separating seasons of mid-table boredom for 30 years. I dare say the biggest game you've played in my time watching football (since about 88/89 season) is your trip to Bramall Lane in 98 when Alan Kelly made Dion Dublin cry and Strachan claimed not to be "shattered".

The club is literally dying and you are waffling about the Tevez situation. Absolute no clue.

And after all that shit, we still managed the biggest ever following to the new Wembley. What a small club.

Again, no clue. Orient much worse? Comical.

Yes, you are. All you've done is attract those curious types eager for a day out. They're not your future, just watch your gates next season then wonder where all those 'loyal' supporters disappeared to? Time you woke up rather than behave in such a delusional manner. We never fool ourselves about anything, but you lot seem to think that one day out at Wembley for a third rate cup has turned into the second coming! As the memories fade, and you realise that you're the only club who attach significance to you game last Sunday, the sooner you'll accept that for all your bleating you're just a club who have lost their way with very little to look forward to. Small club with small crowds, impressive!

No, none of these are Coventry fans are they?

Pay attention dozy bollocks, it was a ONE OFF! You do realise that, don't you? Or do you intend to live that day for the next 20 to 30 years?

Be patient, it will all come out in the wash, and you'll return to your reality as a club with meagre gates. Get a grip pal, anyone would think you genuinely believed last Sunday's fantasy. Clearly you've fallen hook, line, and sinker for the delusion that was your away day to Wembley.
 
Again, no content and no understanding - clueless
Orient potentially subject to a winding up order and all but in the non-league

You're coming across as a self righteous, arrogant, fool.

What is going on at Orient and Charlton is terrible. I am not doubting that. Our problems are different though and have been going on a lot longer. Which explains our aggressive protests this season.

The thing is, Kenilworth, the protests in December were as a result of years and years of failed protests. That was the reason I originally came on here to explain. Throwing pigs on the pitch didn't work and neither did protesting in the car park, which many of you said we should have done. The protests in December haven't worked, but it was the next step.
I didn't go on the pitch, but understood those who did.

No - because if they were that "fanatical" then they would turn up every week and not once in 30 years

I don't blame any of them for not going each week. I won't be going to the home games next season, not as a protest but because it is no longer worth my money.
 



On a serious note, I am glad he is doing well. Always showed the signs of a good player but it never came through for us.
Of course not he was like the silver sixpence found in a boxing day turd
