Protest

Re: Protest

I can understand why fans want to protest.

If we were a well run club and 4th in the table the huge majority would be happy.

However we are a complete shambles with the board making the same mistakes time and again and not being held to account forcefully by fans groups or the press.

However the fact that the organisers only seem allowed to put details on one forum or want to put it on one forum is really poor particularly when some fans say Tan has divided the fans base.

It's a Tan Out March? Who is coming in?

I've seen fans on there moaning about Tan unwilling to sell to Sam.

As if Sam Hammam could buy and successfully run us.😂

Re: Protest

From day 1 with Tan there has been no consensus amongst fans.

So it is no surprise, and slightly ironic, that when people decide it’s time to protest there is no unified voice or objective.

I have no idea if anyone is trying to manipulate/exploit the situation, but it is certainly ripe for that to happen.

Re: Protest

Theres a fundamental dichotomy at CCFC. The club is abysmally run from top to bottom and could benefit with a change of owner, but the current owner bankrolls a club that loses money hand over fist and replacing him could mean ending up with an owner who is skint or at worst, an opportunistic asset stripper.

Also Tan could reasonably say that under his stewardship, we played in the top division for the first time in 50, albeit in spite of the way he runs the club not because of it. Thats why I think the protest will not achieve a great deal.

Also I would say that if you do want to get rid of an owner, the experience of Blackpool, Charlton etc. shows that the odd march here and there just wont cut it. You need to be prepared for boycotts, direct action to disrupt games and youd better be prepared to be in it for the (very) long haul.

Re: Protest

My opinion is after the news of the manager's father passing away; any protest would be in poor taste tomorrow.

Totally agree.

Re: Protest

What sort of protest would it be?

A full-scale riot?
A dirty protest?
A few unwashed types carrying placards saying "Down with this sort of thing" ?

We need to know.

I can think of one poster on here who could possibly sport a placard emblazoned with the slogan 'The End is Nigh'.

Re: Protest

Not many people are going to the protest but they will claim anyone walking to the game was on the protest.

It's a ridiculous protest as they are protesting demanding tan sells the club. The only evidence they have hes refusing to is AA saying he knows as fact tan has had really good offers but he won't sell because sam hammam is behind them and tan won't sell to him.

It's crazy.

Re: Protest

What exactly am I supposed to be angry about?

I only buy my season tickets , I don't actually buy or sell any players, I am not responsible for the debt or who it is owed to .
I wouldn't go into Morrisons and tell the local manager how to run his business if I was as unhappy as some of the posters on here .I would stop going there...
And I did take a break from CCFC because I was no longer enjoying it .
I like the way we are playing at the moment ,I like most of the new additions , its great to see so many youngsters coming through and still be entertaining .

So yeah , I am OK with the way the club is being run, unless you get 10,000 on your march on Saturday I would say so are in the minority. They just come along watch the football, be happy or sad dependent on the result and go home.

Morrisons. Really?

You don’t see a football club as a social institution? Just a business. No wonder you swallow the emperor’s shite then.

Well, even if that’s the case(which it isn’t for me nor the majority). The product is pretty fckin grim. Probably on a par with morrisons as a matter of fact . If you are happy eating frozen lasagna , more power you.

Re: Protest

I think they've got a plane with a banner plus free scarves.

They must have funding from somewhere if that's the case.

Maybe Elon Musk.? 😂

It's also bullshit. Hammam hasn't got the money or the friends to make a "really good" offer.

Re: Protest

Looks poorly attended judging by the photos on Wales online. When you factor in some fans will be making that walk without protesting, attendance is even worse.
