Let The Divisions Begin (4 Viewers)

Gaz Powell isn't joining the boycott but says he supports anyone who does. Danny Nealon is boycotting but says he won't give anyone stick.

That's just people disagreeing.
Plenty more comments on just that post that can easily create a divide mate. My point is no-one will ever sing from the same hymn sheet, it just seems impossible.

You can't really complain about grown men spitting dummies and then take a hashtag seriously.
You can if you are scraping a barrel.

There will be some knob heads going into the ground who might say stuff to people boycotting. That's equally as wrong. If people get personal on here and start the silly name calling then I will also be saying there is no need etc and try to nip that in the bud. Disagreeing is completely different.

Creating the divide is putting the people in the position to join a protest or go in.

I made the tweet, and the subsequent explanation for why I used the term, and have deleted the tweet.

The reason I have deleted the tweet is that it undermines the collective action of fans and is needlessly divisive. If I had known it would cause such offence I would not have posted it. The more united we are, the more effective our protests will be.

So I reiterate my apologies on this forum too. I hope that fans support the protests as much as possible.

(I was also a scab - I went to Northampton once. So not only was I needlessly divisive, but also a hypocrite).

Takes bollocks to apologize, I take back calling you a prick too.. Just don't do it again! ;)

While we have Curtis here, maybe we can make him look into our eyes and brainwash him to love SISU while we send some scouts onto social media for the next victim?

I doubt that more than a couple of hundred will bother to go up to the ground just to show they are boycotting, many may well boycott the game but will just stay away from the ground. I think a better option would be to suggest protesting for 10 mins outside and then go in, I think more people would attend the protest as they would be at the ground anyway.

I like Nick's suggestion of a scarf etc, get some with SISU OUT on, or a t-shirt with the names of people involved in our demise printed on, with boxes where you can allocate a % of blame to each party. Should be fairly cheap if done in bulk and raise some money for charity.

It'll never happen where everyone agrees 100%, but that's the case with almost everything. Disagreement can be healthy and respectful at the same time though, which is the preferable route.

Even just like the Man Utd ones, the green and yellow ones. Doesn't have to say a thing, then just donate profits to the Jimmy Hill Legacy Fund.

It's a shame they don't have them as an option, it is just wristbands and badges otherwise if they had a scarf it could be a goer....

I am in the same boat as most in that I have a ticket already. I will join the protest outside and maybe stay there but I will see. Is this the Trust running this protest or is this the 'we hate SISU' group? If it is the latter I am less convinced personally.

I think people need to respect each others decisions here and not give abuse to people who chose to attend. The abuse that city fans received off their own at Sixfields was awful and I hope this isn't replicated at the Ricoh.

Personally I would like to see a walk out in the ground on one game. This would have a strong affect and very visible.

I think it is the Preservation Group.

There's bound to be divisions. Woolyback on the CET said that soon the 5,000 sisu puppets who still support the hedge fund will soon be thanking all the nopm heroes that got rid of them. I suspect others share and will continue to share such a view.

He's a halfwit. However, I do find his rants amusing!

Lol, hilarious. Look at the state of the prick. I'll be going to the Rochdale game just as I'll be going to every home game for the rest of the season.

I've no doubt that this latest protest suggestion will turn out to be a damp squib anyway. They'll get bored after 5 minutes No qualms with what they're trying to achieve, I want rid of SISU as much as anybody but as I respect their views they should respect those who still decide to go inside the ground.

I wonder how many will have a change of heart if we win 3 or 4 on the bounce. Calling a fellow supporter a 'scab' is unbelievable.

So is it he is calling people a scab the main issue or what he stands for( which no matter of individual opinion he has a right) but calling him a prick, don't really matter. You are as bad as him and have stooped to the level that he started at.

We all need to stand together and if you want to go and watch the game you should be allowed to without ridicule and that rule should apply to all no matter of decision the individual makes. This is about the the club having a chance to improve which we all agree on needs to happen, how we get there may be different, but getting there is more important then any name calling or bullying in any form.

The fact that Woolyback thinks he is a hero says more about him than anything I could write.

See my latter post apologizing to the individual in question following his retraction of the word 'scab',which was unwarranted and uncalled for. That was the reason I was riled, nothing more.

What he stands for is absolutely fine - which I went on to disclose in detail later on in the post. Again, I want rid of SISU as much as anyone but when I've paid considerable amounts of money to purchase a season ticket, I intend to watch each and every home game irrespective of how far we have fallen, as I have done for 14 out of the past 15 years. Someone having the audacity to criticize me for continuing a lifelong affiliation and hobby, by someone who has a separate agenda is not acceptable to me personally.

No I agree with you, its up to the individual to make a decision, I like you want rid and want the best for my club. If those want to stand outside, stay at home or walk in the ground I'm sure we all want the same in the end.

We still don't know what will happen once getting rid, there's no plan out for that is there?

That's why there should be a way to link people who do want to Boycott with the people who go in to show a bit of solidarity.

I mentioned things like Scarves at the time of Sixfields. It isn't going to change the world or get SISU out but if there was a charity scarf for example, and people are walking into the ground with them and people boycotting with them. There needs to be something that everybody agrees on, and it will never happen with a boycott so there needs to be ways to have people who do boycott, and people who don't to agree on something. That's why I suggested something to do with the legacy fund as judging by reactions on here, everybody agrees with that.
Thought at the time of Sixfields that the civic colours scarf idea was a good one. Why not go for it - didn't you get some prices Nick? Soz if already covered in the thread

I think many are plotting already what they see as the future of the club and when this day comes, no certainties can be given or money thrown as a key to success. What is a certainty is as we stand today without that potential the club as we know it is on a path of destruction.

We are dying Nick, really we are, fans are at the end of either trying to make change or losing hope of ever making a difference. What we can do is help then hope that someone is ready willing and able to grow a business, foundation and give us that hope to walk back to support the team we care about with our kids and the next generation of potential fans.

Fucking hell. There seems to be more people looking for division than their are causing it. This is how things get blown out of proportion and become assumed fact. Grow up the lot of you. You're all starting to sound like a group of infant school kids who are all blaming each other to the teacher.

No one call anyone anything and if anyone does ignore them. Don't come running on social media crying about it. All that's going to happen is there will be a division about the "division". A couple of loud mouthed idiots isn't a division, it's a couple of loud mouthed idiots. End of.

there's not, and I think people need to be mindful of this, especially when there is potentially another hedge fund waiting in the wings.
However, I think it's imperative we get rid of sisu otherwise the club is going to die.
But yes, it may be a bit of a leap into the unknown, but surely it can't be worse than the death by a thousand cuts we're going through at the moment.

After the way CET stirred the pot of interest up with potential buyers previously, i'm positive those interested in the club will not make it public, common sense really isn't it after Haskell, Hoffman e.c.t?
