A different approach? (1 Viewer)

Just a thought.....

Why not shift the target to boycott the clubs sponsors City Link, Tesco, Lloyds pharmacy even the good old Telegraph (Mirror Group) and any others that advertise or have a corporate facility at the Ricoh.

These companies would surely have to be leaning on the "board" should they even be considered as complicit or supportive of SISU's lack of input to "our" club along with the bad publicity that it would bring, afterall they've also put their cash into a product that has been seriously mis-sold and so must be equally as a pissed as we all are without being "tarred" with the same shitty stick as SISU.

Banners,chants and boycotting of games when the only "support" the team has is us, and also as it is our "hard earned" that we have already paid up front for season tickets and merchandise is not going to "hurt" this lot - but maybe the potential threat of the removal of the "corporate" pound would surely have to provoke some direct discussion at a level which none of our "protests" could ever reach?

No fire certificates required, no searches by stewards could stop you from doing what is perfectly legal by "voting with your feet".

Discuss?

Nice thinking outside of the box Stevie,however if you got half of the current fanbase to partake ,don't think it would have much financial impact,its not nessecarilly about effect anymore, they've proven to be totally cold in relation to onfield affairs ,for many the relationship is entirely broken and it matters not whether it has impact or not.its about not silently rolling over

Christ what next rob the old ladies in the surrounding streets? Different it may be but would not give us a good name and who would sponsor us in future? It's not their fault one little bit. SISU, the board and previous boards and owners share the blame in its entirity. If we are to demonstrate then it can't be a fortnight about depending on the strength of feeling it has to be all or nothing. We need to get organised, get numbers and get vocal. Many threads previously much talk but no action. T-shirts, sit-ins, banners ina nd around the City, any opportunity should be used to drive them out. I'm past caring if there is a viable alternative. We're going down regardless if they stay so its a must to distance them further get us into admin sooner rather than later and let Hoffman or another consortium pay the nominal £1. If this continues much longer we will be starting League 1 with a points deduction instead and then the threat of extinction becomes much more real.

Boycott Tesco's and knock a few thousand pounds off their multi-billion pound profits?

I am sure Tesco's would react accordingly.

OMG I hope they don't take our clubcard off us if it happens
