What happened to all the fireworks and loud noise people were planning. I'm guessing the majority were put off by the weather as going by the pics on sky only a few there. Embarrassing really.

Police stopped our fireworks and I can assure you there was good noise up there.

Far better than the borefests inside sixfields.

It was like a morgue. No atmosphere at all. Good game though.

Just wish that the protests were less frequent but better organised. The only one so far that is not just an embarrassment was the trust organised city centre march. Sick of 5 people going to London and 80 people stood on a hill. We are a complete laughing stock.

I live and work just outside of Sheffield and a number of people commented on how crap CCFC fans are not supporting the team. They thought the people on the hill were free loaders and that it was laughable. To be honest I'm finding it a little hard to argue against at the moment. Lack of coordination.

Sheffields support was very average so they can't say much.

But overall our protests don't work as nobody gets off their arses to join in.

Nobody seems to care anymore, such a shame.
My friends included would never turn up to a protest as they 'can't be arsed'.

I'd love another march, but I doubt many would join in this time.

It's because they are too hap-hazard. The march was the only one really advertised properly, and it was local so accessible to all.

60-70 people counted on the hill - the only banner was a bedsheet with "Sisu Out" on it - so much for a balanced KCIC protest so who are you trying to engage? me? if so, it wont work with such a niave view. Could hardly hear the whistles by the way even from the quiet that is Sixfields. Where do you all bugger off to at half time though? Bit odd that. If I was cynical I would say you cant see the pitch and so go home...

Why would we want to engage you when we have a Sky cameraman with us and the respect of fans across the country?

I'm so sorry, we'll laminate our banner next time. If I want SISU out then I'll say so. How many cameramen did Sky send to your seat? Did they pan to a shot of you after each goal? No. Did the away support applaud your efforts? No.

Is that perhaps because you have nothing of interest to contribute? There are people in life who are do-ers and have enough pride to fight for what they believe in; and then there are people who lack the confidence and would rather make snide little remarks.

Anyone paying to go into Sixfields must really be struggling with their conscience.

Do you remember your first Coventry game? Taken by your Dad perhaps, telling you all about the history, why we're SkyBlue, and most importantly that we support them because they are COVENTRY.

If zero people went to the games then we would already have returned. But no, some people are as simple minded and as selfish as to say "I like watching football on a Saturday", or - "the lads need my support". Well they'll need your support when we're in the conference too. Think of the future.

I despair at people like you. Sneering at people who care. Congratulations you're too cool to show you care.

50 people on the hill make more noise than the 600 City inside.
If you could not here anything from inside I suggest you turn your hearing aid on as even the Sheffield fans have been commenting on the horns and noise. Two SUFC fans came and joined us for a while (when they went 2 down) as said the noise was great from that side.

What I do not understsand is why people like you come on here and knock those who are actually trying to do something to bring our plight to everyones attention. You go inside, thats your choice, but most do not want to be playing in Northampton, your probably the exception but someone, somewhere has to stand up and do something.
The event was not intended to me a SISU OUT event but they will alaway join in as its obvious thats what most genuine supporters want

Not trying to make you feel ashamed, your doing that yourself.

Can I just ask, are you satisfied with sisu's performance as owners of your club?

I just find it amazing that a grown man can be offended so easily with a sisu out banner.

That last line is garbage.
We were in the Sixfields Pub with the Sheffield fans and they were right behind us.
You will also see that at 2 - 0 some came out and joined us.

You show your lack of the facts.
The Sheffield fans that joined us said we could be heard.
Some came out and joined us and said the atmosphere was better.

At half time we move around the side so we can see the goal this side. (I also went over the pub)

The fact is those on the hill are consistently getting publicity and it is reported as an ongoing protest

BBC report on yesterdays game: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24417535


"From City's perspective the move to Northampton - made by owners SISU - remains unpopular with Coventry supporters who have staged protests outside the ground at 'home' matches"

We had more media coverage than the march that people continue to go on about.

I was told you could hear the vuvuzela on the tv too.

Some of you on the hill get slated on here because one or two of you come across as very self righteous and seem to genuinely think you are better than everyone else.

If you give it out, you get it back. I'm sure the majority of the 70 of you are brilliant people, but the few on here make me not like you. It's as simple as that.

That's a silly view to take. I'd not like anyone if I judged them by the actions of others with similar beliefs. The Anti-ACL lot and the Anti-Sisu lot both have their nutters.

No doubt. And I'd happily engage with any of the people that choose to stand on the Hill. I know a couple of people who do, including the bloke I mentioned on the first page. But the ones on here come across as twats. And that's half the reason they get slated on here.

I think it's more defensive, particularly when some call them twats.
Most the comments on this board target those for going on the hill for one reason or another.
I can see only a few people who say they are 'real fans' for doing so and I didn't get that perception yesterday.

Personally I had a great day yesterday and the match seemed secondary.
However that is the first and last time I will be on the hill.
I will never ever go inside the ground.
