Weirdest sounding apology for misquoting me or admitting you are wrong I have ever heard.

Or are we just glossing over you saying I said something I didn't?

There is no apology. You just make stuff up to provoke an argument. I don't think you believe most of the rubbish you write anyway.

Ha ha

So you post in here that I said 700 Northampton fans go to watch Cov.

When I challenge you and I prove that you have completely made that up and I never did.

I ask for an apology or the minimum you admit I never said it and your reply is above.

Even you must see the huge portion of irony in your reply.

I apologise if attendances really are the most important thing about a football match and that football fans should be more bothered about them than the result. I have never said attendances are not important, just thought I thought it was quite bad that people were more interested in how many were at the game than what the result / performance was like.

Silly me though being bothered about results and hoping that we win every game.

Indeed, it's boring and depressing. I'd prefer to ignore what the attendance was personally, it's irrelevant.

I wonder if people not going - and make a statement about not going - is turning the issue into a personal quest? If so, then naturally the most important thing must be to seek justification and measure the results of their quest.
Funny thing though is someone called those who go 'lemmings' when clearly the stay-away's are the vast majority.

I believe that playing in Northampton is extremely damaging to my club.

I believe that the larger the attendances are in Northampton, the less the pressure is on our owners to rectify this self imposed (in my opinion) exile.

Given the above, I am extremely focussed on the attendances.

From my point of view, the surprise is that some Cov fans are not.

It depends if you follow the rest of your argument or not.

Personally, I think the pressure is there regardless, as the attendances are shit... or shit. The actual figures (and, worse, the composition of the figures) and arguing about them distracts and detracts from that basic premise. If anything, it marginalises the preferred attention on the fact the attendances are shit regardless.

And also obscures the social arguments, which are more powerful to my mind than the numerical.

No I don't and this is what you do. The 700 attendees will suddenly be one of your facts - well it isn't there would have been at least 800 paying customers from my calculation.

I agree with your first point, hence my "Given the above".

I also agree that the pressure is there regardless, but I prefer it to be more and increasing.

I also agree about the arguing about the minutiae - hence why I ignored that bit.

Right, that's enough agreeing with you for today.....:D

Typical GMK mindset that.

No logical argument, just like to be a bit hipster.

I bet you stop liking bands when they become cool too.

Ah so you have mystic neg's ability to pre-empt what I was about to say next.

So you yourself can then say it for me then ridicule my point (that I personally never made)

Must say I would love to be able to debate with people on that level

Grendel I predict you are about to say by the end of the season Cov fans will be queuing for tickets to get into Sixfields.

However I must point out to you that this is a ridiculous statement you are completely wrong for making it. Grendel you are a fool for making such a statement.

(I can see how this works now its fun)

For what it is worth at no point was I about to say 700 Northampton fans watch Cov as you are well aware.

This is like a kid with chocolate round his mouth telling you the dog ate the biscuit.

Go on admit you made up that I said 700 Northampton fans and you are wrong you will feel better about it.

Nick - could I clarify that you did see kids at sixields yesterday wearing NTFC shirts?

KM has posted on facebook - NTFC Shirts, Northampton Saints colours, Northamptonshite cricket hats etc,. For them, watching CCFC, is some new leisure experience and from what we hear the football served up is far better than what the Cobblers are dishing up..

Michael. I was there yesterday as usual with my son. I didn't see one person wearing Northampton colours. Not saying they weren't there but I didn't see any.

I can't believe this thread has reached 17 pages. I don't see that it matters remotely whether a few Northampton fans come to our games, the fact remains that SISU are killing the club by enforcing us to play matches away from Coventry in front of the lowest ever gates in our 131 year history.

No, I saw them wearing their own football kit which I assume was their own football team.

I didn't see any NTFC shirts though (but I didn't see every person) so I am not saying there weren't any. I am not sure if there were any saints shirts or hats, most people had coats on as it was freezing.
