Sad sad situation.
I really don't want to renew, lost all hope for our club while those leeches are here.
Not fair on us to have to have another shit season with nothing to shout about.

If I don't renew it breaks nearly 30 years of me and my brother meeting up every week for our footie fix.
So not only do I not see my team any more me and my brother will not have our weekly contact, and we are not getting any younger.
So my dilema is
Do I get a season ticket and then sit there angrily watching some thing I don't really want to?
or
Do I walk away and then miss my weekly meeting with my Bro?

.... and to be honest a lot of us will feel the same in the close season.
However even close season now offers no incentive. Used to look forward to big signings or even 'known' signings.
Something that makes you feel that the coming season is a promotion one.
The last close season was a piss take and that is now in the back of my mind.
I certainly would not be going anymore this season if I was not a season ticket holder.

I'd had enough just before they signed Mowbray up, that felt like they finally meant business so I stuck with it. After last season didn't pan out it feels like everybody has given up, so as it stands I'm not renewing. Not as part of a protest or boycott, more a personal apathy.

They won't be carrying any can, they will just cut the budgets to suit.

If 500 - 700 people don't renew for example, they just cut the wage budget to cover it. Rinse and repeat each year.

How many times have we heard "if this happens sisu will go".

Very true Nick. But while there are people like you that keep buying ST's, we'll never know will we!

With all of us not renewing next season it sounds like nick and grendell will be able to sit next to each other and embrace the sisu way

It's a question of if you still want to support the team - in spite of the sisu way - or just give up and hide behind a slogan.

At what point do people realise Sisu are taking the piss? Forget the slogan I'll just check the result in the papers.
If necessary It sounds better on the radio. "They may be 3 down but if we get 1 back we could pull this around" or perhaps "There could be a chance here" as we cross the halfway line.
Add with the heightened voice and you could be listening to Barcelona.

Great if you can carry on supporting but if this continues I'm not attending.

When you pick up a tin of Quality Street, you expect chocolate, not knitting material. You know where I'm going with this...

I don't think there's many who don't realise it already.
Still hard to give up on the team you supported long before they rolled into town.
Will they just carry on cutting if people don't but STs?
Some people think so, some think they'll walk, none of us really know there intentions, I don't think they do long term.

Fill the ground then. See what that does - may increase the budget massively.

Sorry but the team was different when they rolled into town, this is where people get confused. Players come and go, they're not here to appease us, especially the shower of shit I witnessed yesterday. No-one is deserting the club, the team however for the time being can be deserted, fuck them, I want the club back.

What type of club do we all want, do we want a club with fans that have no fight?

Everyone will make up their own mind whether to buy a ST or not. There is no need for any mass boycott. I expect sales to naturally drop by attrition unless there is some dramatic change in our fortunes.

OK! So you DON'T buy ST's then Nick?

I do, should I expect another sixfields situation then?

It's just I'm going to support the club I have since birth, you are going to sit at home frothing along with Bob and will throw digs at people "like me".

I guess nobody is going to put forward a good,.logical case for a boycott then?

You saying we had poor crowds all last year compared to other seasons? they were breaking over earlier predictions of break even weren't they? Until conveniently changing that.


Grendal wanting the stadium full in hope that budgets get increased have proven never to be truthful have they? show proof that increasing attendances have brought in more player investment.

Last season the crowds averaged around 12,000 and the pricing policy was very favourable to encourage attendees. As a consequence the revenue was poor. So there is no evidence either way.

I have on page two/three.

We might not have filled the stadium last year, but the attendances were up. You would have to be naive if you think that extra revenue would go towards the playing budget. The 'we got the breakeven numbers wrong' should set alarm bells ringing straight away.

A boycott would not work if only 1000 people did it. It would have to be a 90%+ cull to be effective. They could still run the club on a shoestring budget with a couple of thousand supporters, but it simply would not be viable if there were a matter of hundreds there.

If they aren't making profit, if they are not breaking even, but if they are making heavy losses, they would have to get out. Yes, liquidation is a risk, but they'll be better off taking an offer for £1.

It is a realistic stab at getting sisu out, but it would have to be done properly.
