Even to a ground funded by Government money.
I hope you were not one of those saying Nuneaton coming to the Ricoh is hypocritical?

Get on with it. Don't you realise you are buying in to a third rate stadium outside Coventry and possibly in a much lower league.
I personally will not support CCFC/SISU during the 3 years and certainly long term refuse to settle for a third rate team, just so I can watch football on a Saturday afternoon.
If that is all your life is then you need to get out more.
Don't come back and slag SISU when it happens. Tim Fisher is relying on sheep, sorry people like you.

Only on this forum can fans be chastised for going to the games to support the team that is on the pitch.
Am I happy about the situation? No. Do I want SISU out and another company given a chance to stop the rot and improve us on and off the pitch? Yes. Do I still want to spend my Saturdays watching Coventry City play on a rectangular piece of grass? Yes. For those reasons, I am in a pickle as to what to do this season. However the minute I get chastised by some spotty little internet warriors on here who spend all the time "trying to prove how great a fan they are", I'll stop giving a sh*t about what they and my fellow fans think.
The melodrama on this forum is unfortunately a sign of the age we live in where social media leads to exacerbation and two huge extremes to the left and right of any debate/argument. which is quite frankly wrong.
If you think a few thousand fans going to home games at Northampton is going to make the slightest bit of difference in this debate then you are sadly mistaken.
If I do eventually decide not to go to make some sort of misguided stand then don't expect me to come on here proclaiming anyone who does go as some sort of demon or SISU employee, in the same vein do not expect me to claim I am a better fan because I'm making a protest.
I look forward to being called Joy Seppala's toyboy rent boy lover by the usual shouty idiots on here who fail to offer reasoned debate.
This site and its posters are losing sight and track of the point of being a football fan and has turned this place into a willy waving match as to who thinks they are better than the other due to action x over action z. Some of you need to grow up and realise, we are all on the same side, supporting our football team, through thick and thin.

Everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion and can do whatever they wish.
I won't criticise them for going, but if I met anyone out in public discussion I would be urging them to think long and hard about going up and would try and convince them not to.
The end of the day though, it's their choice.

Yes...support my club not whoever owns it...and they need us more than ever now
You do lack intellect. I've forgotten more about football in the last 10 minutes than you know. The only thing I've ever agreed with you on is Andy Thorn being shit. When have you ever actually made a decent point about anything else on here? Anyone that supports the move and actually agree with it is a moron, there should be no debating that really.

But what about those who are torn and love their club so much they cannot bear NOT to go?
Are they morons too? :thinking about:
I can understand people wanting to go to watch the footy. A few posters on here and on Twitter are far from happy with the groundshare but will still go to support the team regardless. What I struggle to comprehend is those that actually support the idea of groundsharing in the assumption we will have a new stadium built.
I just cannot see how SISU stand to gain from this. I've tried to look at it from their perspective but I can't work it out. Maybe they hope that moving away will starve ACL so much they'll pick up the ground for nothing

My heart says go - my wallet says no. I live 20 mins walk from the Ricoh and just cannot afford the additional costs of going to Northampton, I work a lot of night shifts starting at 1900hrs so to travel back from sixfields would not give me the time,to eat and get to work.
I am afraid it is going to be radio listening for me, ( which I hate), for the first time since the 1960's

I have no reason to doubt Les Reid nothing official has been confirm yet by us or Northampton. If this insane plan does go ahead forget it, few away game only.
Before anyone starts the usual your not loyal rubbish there's 3 of us with 30+ years of support that wont be going that's almost 100 years of support between us not to mention the kids that go up occasionally with us, the future of our support & how much is that worth?

Very similar.
I'm just over 20 mins walk away. And 1. I couldn't afford the travel and 2. Because of other commitments I wouldn't be able to get to the games in time for kick off anyway.
Can get to the Ricoh for 2.15 and 7.15. Impossible for me to get to Northampton, parked and in the ground for kick off.
I am also vehemently against the move anyway. We are Coventry City, we are a Coventry club and there is a stadium in Coventry empty and available.
To consider anything else is pure madness in my book.

Of course it will make a difference. If you don't go we will be back at the Ricoh.
Zero in Northampton will make SISU rethink.
10000 at Northampton means TF has a green light for a 3rd rate stadium outside Coventry and years of obscurity.
It will be somewhere between and TF decision point is unknown. The nearer to zero the better.
If you adapt my stance then anybody that goes to Northampton is condemning the club to years in the wilderness and have my wrath.

The club will provide free coaches I guess, but surely the whole point is the future of the club.

We should stick together, no one goes. book place on coach and not turn up anything that costs them money.
Only way to get rid of these scumbags is to make sure its expensive for them.
JS will get fed up paying out for nothing back.

It's the best option. The income generated supports the team. The income from the Ricoh is more than enough to get us out this league.
Northampton and HR2 = no chance.
Also building a new stadium will add £30M straight onto CCFC debt. :facepalm:

So even more expense to the club.
Good to know they are trying to sort out all the finances isn't it.
