What makes a proper club then?
Tough question. I'd say that not being Coventry is a big factor though.

What makes a proper club then?
We gave you the points...
Did they not do this for Wimbledon supporters some years ago?
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.
When are you going for your Mickey Mouse tattoo to celebrate winning on Sunday ?lWhat makes a proper club then?
You really, really haven't had it worse. Stop being silly.
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.
What would you rather ?
1. Have a tattoo of Steve Evans
2. Have a tattoo of Karl Robinson
3. Be a dirty Cov fan

You're demonstrating a top flight arrogance....

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

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?
Again, no clue. Orient much worse? Comical.
No, none of these are Coventry fans are they?
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.
No - because if they were that "fanatical" then they would turn up every week and not once in 30 years
I hope OUR man Fleck hits a hat trick tomorrow![]()
Of course not he was like the silver sixpence found in a boxing day turdOn 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.
