Sorry bud, I meant fans gathering to watch it somewhere. It was once mentioned on here to ask ACL to let us in The Ricoh to watch the game on Sky.

If it was just asking if they would help is fair enough and I apologise if I took it the wrong way but it does just seem that if any suggestions are made that differ to the flow slightly then they are just brushed away (I am probably wrong, which I hope I am). People are calling out for neutral things like the March and hopefully something might be planned along these lines.

Then we can give ACL money for beer and pies while watching the game......

Definitely needs a sticky cos key points remain: what form an acl/council protest would take (I was being told on here yesterday that shldnt be having anything to do with the ricoh), aim, pr message, theme, and whether people would help organise it!

A 'bit dodgy' is an understatement!

So, and yet again, what form should an acl/council protest take (esp given yesterday's view that it shldnt have anything to do with the ricoh), what's the specific aim, pr message, theme, and what part will you take in organising it?

Ultimately it depends what the objective is. Is it to get the club ASAP back to the Ricoh? I would guess yes.
Is that more likely to be achieved by forcing the hand of the club. ACL or both? The trust supporting alternative events at ACL appears to me an own goal - all events should be boycotted so revenue becomes an issue for both sides.

So by me saying in my opinion it shouldn't be backing acl I have nominated myself to help organise?
As a trust member / share holder or whatever I am classed as I thought you would want feed back?
Before the protests even start or action against the council then maybe not promote their events or encourage people to go to the ricoh to spend their money while encouraging people not to go to Northampton.
I think we need to be trying to force everybody to talk, yes sisu are in the wrong and there is no doubt about it.
How about trying to get a meeting with Ann Lucas to see her side of it and the ins and outs of the offer they made to sisu and what they would be willing to do to bring the club back, if they have then said they would do x then it could be used as a middle ground for sisu as it should show the council are willing to slightly budge.
If everything is impartial then there should be a total boycott, not sending me emails saying I'm a horrible person if I go to sixfields but come to the ricoh instead to watch women's football.....
Do you really need somebody to set you up a pr.campaign and create a message when they are just saying stop promoting acl so much?

But will be back and more of them
The picnic on the Hill on Sunday is not a Trust event although we are keen to support anything that helps get our plight out into the media.
I will be presnt on the Hill on Sunday as I feel that we all need to do as much as possible to encourage communication between the parties, what it will actually achive is uncertain.
This weekend due to the Internationals the press will be looking for any news that is Sports related and some might say this is as close as we can get.
Just like if those who wish to go into Sixfields have the right to do so, those who want to support the team in any form from the hill have the right to make that choice. As for protests against ACL, Football League or CCC personally I cannot see how any of these will take any notice and unsure of what we need to say or how we say it.
By being on the hill its a statement to all the parties that we as fans, (the customers) do not agree with the decision and we will not just sit back and give up.
A picnic, a party, a protest, a sit in, its all the same thing and no harm trying to make it sound peacful and open to anyone, whats wrong with that?
I will be the first one to say that there has been some wrong decisions and choices from all parties. However, we need to move forward and look to the future , not to keep searching into what happend in the past.

Well said Steve unfortunately most people are happy to do nothing bar come on here and slag off everything that is tried.
If these posters have better ideas let them organise them and I for one will attend if they require help I'm sure this can be arranged for them.
Now lets hold on and wait for the same old replies.......

How is standing on a hill in Northampton with a sarnie and a bottle of pop going to encourage communication between ACL and SISU/Otium?
It'll achieve nothing.
The Trust should be protesting to ALL parties involved in this sorry situation. Your blinkered approach has alienated you from SISU/Otium when the Trust should be doing all they can to encourage talks. Why do you think a protest against the ACL/FL/CCC would be pointless??
By being in the Stadium it's a statement we've not given up on our Football club. I've not sat back and given up.
Nothing wrong with it at all. To me it seems a little one sided and tbh a bit pointless.
But you're only protesting against SISU/Otium. A one sided Trust is no good to anyone.
Sits back and awaits the Fishface rentboy/Shitzu lover comments. All so predictable

Without mocking anyone who has taken part in the organisation of this event or plans to attend this idea is just laughable, a picnic? Really?
And before anyone say's "What you doing to protest" I am not travelling to Northampton for any reason or paying to see the lads in Northampton..

The main event at the Ricoh was for the former players association this was laid on for free by the Ricoh and as all catering money goes to compass the money made by ACL was minimal possibly some from Parking?
So next time lets not support our former players even though they are supporting us and not attending at sixfields.
Yes Grendel another excellent idea from yourself so what do we do in between as these games are very rare?????:thinking about:

You have highlighted the "Main Event" however did it slip your mind that the CCLFC has been highly promoted by the Sky Blue Trust? Which I am sure Grendel was highlighting..

same as most nothing... so by us all staying at home says we have given up and don't really care because the longer we do that the easier it becomes to not care.
As I have already asked, how do we do protest against these other parties, can we stand in car park at Ricoh and ask them to pick up the phone to Tim Fisher, How do we protest to the Council when they are not the decision makers, The FL do not care and just keep saying its to boards discretion.

Just have a nice little picnic. What it's for doesn't matter.
I'd suggest:
Sandwiches
Sausage rolls
Hard boiled eggs
Juice
That'll learn Fisher

I care about this situation a lot as I am sure many others did, but considering the amount of time I spent thinking about whether to attend Northampton or not I am protesting my message at home by not giving money to SISU in Northampton.
Staying at home and not going to Northampton is different from giving up..

It's not about 'slagging everything off' if it's something worthwhile I'm there twice over. Fucking ribbons and a picnic is pathetic.

Look at the state of it. Pathetic.
We need a 5k strong march. Everyone outside the ground for the sky game. Crate of beer. Cov songs. Done.

But will that bring back CCFC to the City NO they have no say whatsoever in that decision only SISU do.
You can give them the Ricoh for no rent but they still don't have to accept it because they need the pie money.

It doesn't matter how many attended, the fact is that the Sky Blue Trust were showing there support to ACL by advertising in the ACL Arena!!
