Abandonment,i think that's all ready been done by the owners.
Nothing apart from writing to all parties to continually try and get them round the table. With little response I afraid. What i do know is from the responses, the current sit on your hands and think you are protesting is having no effect at all.
The tough times are self inflicted. The directors of Otium are legally required to do whats best for Otium and they are failing in this duty, why should we help the people are purposely choosing to hurt the club? I've got my season ticket money, my shirt money right here as soon as the club has it's own best interests at heart ill be there with it.

And there I agree with you, the owners are being given an easy ride, basically uncontested
Might be too late by then old fruit.

I still journey down from deepest Scotland to away games whenever I can (and will be doing so next week), and the away attendances time and again exceed the home ones.

I don't accept the clubs financial situation gets any worse, if the best option for sisu is to liquidate and try to destroy us then that is already the case with the current debts. The only thing that changes by boycotting is the amount sisu lose. weather we owe 45million or 450million is irrelevent imo, no buyer will pay it. So sisu will need to accept 5 or 10m when they leave.

No it isn't. Heres my view. Fans can come on here and give it 'I'm losing hope, I have had enough of following us in the state' blah blah blah but give it 2 years, if we are top of the league and flying, Fans flock back. FACT

an interesting theory, but by liquidating I would have thought that they would be losing their investors cash and my thinking is they are holding on to the club waiting for someone to blink and save their skin. You are right though the figure is not the issue here, as bad as it is.

I admire you optimism but where do you think the money for the players and manager are going to come from to get us to the top of the league? anyhow anybody with morals will look behind a league table and follow their convictions, as the majority are in staying away
I don't think they will liquidate, but Andreas was suggesting by not going I was increasing the chance of the club ceasing to exist. I just think if thats the option sisu would chose then the actual debt number won't change the likelyhood of it happening.
If Arvo did call in their loans the club would go into admin and the administrator would sell off the assets to get the most amount of money for arvo, at that point we have our club back, assuming someone wants to buy it and they would, it would be in a shoddy state and in league two but then we have to come together and build it back up. I know someone will say well admin didn't work out well last time and of course it didn't, but if it happens because arvo call in the loans then that means sisu are done with the club and want out so there is no reason for them to buy it again even though they could if they wanted to.

They didn't stay away from the Arsenal game though did they? It seems that the moral stance of fans is selective.
Success brings people in of course it does, that does not change that this situation is losing people forever and preventing new fans that you would have had forever.
There is also zero chance of us being top of the league in 2 years and flying under the current owners, not unless that league is the conference.
That was different! That was against a team that's in the top 4 of the Premier League, with quality players, at a stadium worth going to!!! You'd be foolish to boycott that! Save your boycotts for the less fashionable games!!!

To our fans credit they did not, just the home games.

If you are so interested why not come in to Sixfields and help me?
AndreasB and skybluelee sitting in a tree,
P-R-O-T-E-S-T-I-N-G!!!
Put that in your Friday comedy pipe and smoke it!!! LOL!!!
Wedont get any money from away games so not really a very sensible course of action. Away attendances being so great is a myth that makes you all feel better - In fact they are only 4% higher than last year if you take out the Arsenal game. Big deal.
Not quite sure how posting on here that you 'actually feel the same way', is really that much different. More succinct maybe but still informing fellow fans how you feel, she chose the CT to express her views you have chosen this forum.

But that was for one game.
It is the same at every club in the country except for maybe the top 6.
Big games have always brought in the fans just can't keep them coming that is the problem.
For that reason most clubs have a grading system for games.
Bigger the game bigger the price.

Fair point. I'll still be taking the piss out of her though.
Edit: Actually, not a fair point. The only reason I mentioned I feel the same was because people were beginning to foam at the mouth and suggest that people taking the piss out of her hated the club etc.

That is a reflection of us being a well supported club away from home more than anything. Even if Sixfields were packed to the rafters we would still be losing out on ticket money alone relative to what we would be getting at the Ricoh-for that the blame lies squarely at the feet of those who took the club away.

4% higher why would you take out the Arsenal game didn't we play them last year as well as Spurs?

Would they not be able to offset their tax liabilities on the profit making parts of their business by liquidating the loss making part ie CCFC?

So do you think if SISU suddenly spent 10 mill on new players and layed on free coaches to Northampton the fans would stiil stay away?
that stat is for league games only

If they had that much to chuck at players they would be just as well chucking it at the Ricoh.

I couldn't agree more I hate people like this.
We are all fans of the Club, we all have the same suffering but to go to these extents is just embarrassing if you're going to stop supporting the Club shut up and do it quietly.
