Couldn't give a shit if they hold the freehold or not, just want the club to have access to all the revenues it possibly can, so we as a club can be as successful as we possibly can be. the whole point of moving there in the first place all those years ago. That was the idea wasn't it?

Weren't sisu offered an extremely low rent and access to revenue streams?

The club sold the revenue streams years ago, why don't sisu attempt to buy them back? Why didn't they buy the higgs share?

The trouble is that sisu don't want to pay for anything,theyre scavengers,they want everything for nothing.

We will never be successful under sisu.

Sisu have not listened to us fans.so we stay away and send the strongest message we can that we are not happy. People who go to sxfeilds counteract what we are trying to achieve. That really annoys me personally.

What really annoys me is the 30,000 who were unwilling to join *my* boycott. Or Ann Lucas's for that matter. Now there's a lady with morals... but only when it suits, otherwise she's just in it for the publicity, should fuck off as we don't need fans like that anyway.

Now they really *were* selfish, self-centred, weak...

Morality, a dubious thing to get all holier than thou about really, especially when so many so keen to sell their own granny to a sex offender, so many so keen to welcome the hedge fund here in the first place... so many so keen to hail how lucky we were to have ruthless operators who knew the meaning of good business sense.

Same old same old croc o shite.

If you go you are supporting Sisu. Simple as that.

No you're not.

Simple as that.

I'd rather 50 who went to Sixfields than the turncoats who want to split fans and set up a rival team, personally.

 

[swisstony]

Anybody got anymore ideas/dates/fixtures for a protest at the Ricoh??
Obviously to coincide with a swizzfields game ???

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Truth is, nobody is really doing anything. Not the people attending Sixfields, not the people sitting on their arse moaning, they're not making the slightest bit of difference. The only people who deserve any credit are those that stand on the hill, although there are so few of them that their presence now goes entirely unnoticed. So, it's pointless, but at least they can say they are doing something - and it happens to be a pretty miserable experience, so hats off to those that still do it.

Yup, and all this bitching and moaning, if anybody actually wants a proper protest, they miss the point those who actually do, and go one or t'other are more likely to join in than those happy to sit behind a PC and toss themselves off to pictures of Preston.

I think the trouble is that SISU are not going anywhere anytime soon. They will not leave until they get hold of the RICOH to make the attraction of buying CCFC more appealing. But even with the RICOH, they are never gonna make mega money on the club.

But I don't think giving up on CCFC and starting a new club is the right idea though. This nightmare will be over, eventually. The club will be around (in some form) long after SISU leave, we just have to endure this dark time. And hopefully that will be sooner rather than later.

 

[thaiskyblue]

we could have an egg rolling comp on the hill.

 

[Spionkop]

The trouble is Woody, the club may not be around in some form after Sisu leave. Doing things right now, instead of waiting for Sisu to dictate what happens will force their hand.
There are any number on here who want to sit on their hands and preach a waiting game. Not an option.
The first tactic should be to get those who go to Sixfields to show Sisu what they think. They constantly tell us they don't like it. Well sodding well show it and we might believe you.
All along the idea of a reclaimed CCFC has been - in my view, and others, a tactic, a contingency plan, something of a strategic thing. But of course others wilfully ignore that and make mischief over it.
Will the nightmare be over? I very much doubt it. You'll wait years while the bastards scheme. Sisu don't have morals or any thought of the history of the club. They have no compassion whatsoever. Ruthless beyond belief.
And yet the white hankies (not you) still want to appease them.

well go and start a new club then, because from where I'm sitting, all your doing is preaching on an internet forum. The very thing you're accusing others of doing.

 

[skybluefred]

I support them because my dad did, and his dad did. It is a temporary thing in Northampton until confirmed otherwise. It is the same manager, kit, badge and players who then play at away games until confirmed different. It is still Coventry City until changed.

Some people just want to watch football and they will, whether people on an internet forum tell them they can or they can't.

Temporary is a few month's at best, Five years is a life sentence in football supporting terms.Even the diehards who
go now will become disenchanted and the youngsters who are the future lifeblood of CCFC will be lost forever.

Unless an Arab multi Billionaire pays sisu a kings ransom to sisu to clear off, I doubt the club will survive beyond two
more seasons at best.

i think he was talking more like the sixfields attendees making it known while they are there that they are not happy about it.

for instance they could try singing songs like, ooo i don't know. i'm tired and i want to go home, we've got to get out of this place etc. that sort of thing. anything other then go, make no noise backing the team, make no noise complaining about the fact we are playing "home" games 34 miles away and then definitely don't come on here and tell us how we are missing out on great football. act like you give a fook about the long term future of the club and what it means to the local area.

Spoinkop has said all attendees at Sixfields should be banned from the Ricoh if we return.

and you're point is?

 

[shy_tall_knight]

The only way out of this mess (that I can see) is for SISU to buy the Ricoh and sell it on. They will not walk away and hand the club over, but they might walk away and liquidate the whole thing. That would be bad no?

the most naive post i have read for a few years, a hedge fund won't make money by buying things at their true market price, a tactic of distressing a business - ACL / CCC for 5 years and then offering a pittance based on a revised / lower market price is their tactic. wake up and smell the coffee.

 

[Spionkop]

Grendel, it really is true what they say about you.
Making this up. You are truly an arch liar. Smear tactics. Oh dear, you are a sad case.

Hoe can they be distressing ACL if they are doing better without the club as has been stated by OSB?

Quite the opposite I'd have thought.

Why don't you organise another Charity game to coincide with a Coventry game at Sixfields? That was a smart move wasn't it? Probably the most unintentionally divisive act of this whole sorry saga. Never forgive the Trust for its support of that. Mind you, the did want us put into admin so shouldnt expect common sense from them.

 

[smouch1975]

If each of the 2800 came on here and explained themselves! As the OP has asked for. This has a long way to go

[Sky Blue Pete]

Would any regular attendee at sixfields take part in an event at the Ricoh during a ' home' game??

I think the thousands at the Ricoh having a party to demonstrate that the support is there in the city that the team is named after has merit and if we still exist and are still playing Northampton by Easter then we should arrange it.

Am interested though to see if this would be seen as divisive?

The last thing I want to see now is a smirking Fisher!

Just the mention of his name pisses me off.

Behave. We're talking about the purchase of the stadium management company on a leasehold basis (they'll never get the freehold and they know it), and the true market value (given the council's own estimates) is well below the potential sell on price for the stadium and club AS A PACKAGE. They will clearly not sell on immediately, and will have to try and turn the fortunes of the club around to a degree - that would require a promotion at least, and also improve the fortunes of ACL as a business - and bringing in AEG would be a good move. The success or otherwise of this plan is not guaranteed (their record isn't great is it), but the idea that ACL will hang around being 'distressed' for 5 years waiting for SISU to make their move is a nonsense. SISU want the Ricoh, and they will obviously hope to get it at a price that is favourable to them, but they want it sooner rather than later. They are not going to wait 5 years losing more money hand over fist simply so they can buy the Ricoh for a few million quid less than what they could buy it for now. And you have the cheek to call me naive.

Probably not after the last one where joe elliott was rolled out like a hero and fans were soiling themselves over him singing sisu out. It was cringeworthy.

It would be seen as divisive especially with it being at the ricoh.

It didn't have the same buzz to it as a proper football match. When a goal went in I wasn't bothered.

Thats how i feel about goals at sixfields. I don't care if we score 5 there or concede 5.

How would you know if you have never been? Any city fan should find it hard to celebrate a city goal whether it is the San siro or pitch 2 at nico.

Agreed valiant. Until the team becomes coventrys again, it's hard to not have apathy.

How can the same people who go apeshit when we score at places like Wolves and MK Dons not care about the results at Sixfields? I know plenty who won't go there, but they will all have been dancing around their living rooms when Wilson banged in the 4th against Peterborough. At some point we will get our club back, and surely we all want it to be in the best place it possibly can be (on the pitch) when that happens.

So, if I sum up .....

Going on the hill and protesting is divisive. Going into the ground and protesting is divisive and meeting up at the Ricoh on match days and protesting is divisive!


And then to top it all off people then say if we don't all do any of those things that we are just sitting behind our computers and doing nothing!! :thinking about::claping hands:
