What happens to the fans money if sisu liquidate the Club after the JR.

[Hobo]

What seaon ticket? what club in Coventry?

 

[AndreasB]

I think for a lot of people not attending it's their only way to tell the owners of the club what they are doing is wrong, bit like people voting UKIP to get across a point about immigration.

For me personally I feel guilty that this year my little girl (5yrs old) has been asking to go and see the sky blues and due to my views that being there is wrong I haven't taken her, I genuinely can't see this changing on my behalf and I've got three mates in the same boat who have stopped all took kids at some point.

A lot of people out there Andreas whether the club/fans who attend like it or not will simply not budge JR result IMO won't make a blind bit of difference either.

Oh stop being such a fucking holier than thou martyr and just take her will you. Jesus, get some sense of proportion about this, its Northampton, yes its a bit shit but no one will die if you go there - AND it wont make a blind bit of difference wither way to the outcome.

Don't feel guilty Chez, you're doing the right thing. There is no reason for us to be playing in Northampton. It's important that people stick to their principles, when this is all over you will feel proud that you did the right thing for the long term future of the club.

And unfortunately, though attempting to make decent points, AndreasB just comes across as Mr. Angry. He just always seems so vexed all the time.

Life's too short to live out your life in constant state of annoyance and ire surely.

Bye bye money unless you paid for it on a credit card.

And you won't die if you don't go there.

If you want to go then fine. But get it into perspective, it's only a game of football. For a majority of us the principle at stake is more important than getting to see our team play.

It might not be for you, and there is nothing wrong with that. But please try and understand why people aren't going, as is their right.

 

[Astute]

I would go to Northampton if we ever play an away game there. But I won't go to a 'home' game there because it isn't our home.

 

[AndreasB]

I would go to Northampton if we ever play an away game there. But I won't go to a 'home' game there because it isn't our home.

Well 2 years in it IS our home. Some of us are just trying to deal with this sensibly.

 

[Sky Blues]

Well 2 years in it IS our home. Some of us are just trying to deal with this sensibly.

And maybe you should just accept that for some fans Northampton will never be the 'home' of Coventry City.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Well 2 years in it IS our home. Some of us are just trying to deal with this sensibly.

I will never recognise that as our home, and it has cost me the belief that ccfc is my/our club. It is now nothing more than a very poorly supported club, in a shit ground, with even shitter players. That is what playing in Northampton has done to my view of my club.

And as for a new home, I would rather see the club go out of existence than relocate permanently outside of Coventry (and that includes the "coventry area")

 

[italiahorse]

Well 2 years in it IS our home. Some of us are just trying to deal with this sensibly.

It will NEVER be our home.

We are there because SISU need to make up a loss by acquiring the Ricoh. There is no other reason we are there.
If you go you are either knowingly, or unknowingly, supporting that plan.
SISU are using your love of the team to achieve their aims by giving the appearance to the football league that it is acceptable.
Surely you understand this ?

 

[covcity4life]

it will NEVER be home

its northampton towns home and our current prison cell.

 

[Hobo]

Well 2 years in it IS our home. Some of us are just trying to deal with this sensibly.

I think refusing to support a local team being moved to play home matches 30 odd miles away in Northampton is very sensible.

 

[mighty quinn]

400 sales too many, if indeed they are actual sales and not some devious paper shifting by Sisu.
The sooner fans realise this club, our club, is in the clutches of people who care not one jot for it - the quicker we'll move on from this travesty.
What does it take for the penny to drop?
A year on we are no further forward. We've gone ever further into decline.
If we continue to be in Northampton expect more decline.
As the players leave and the penny drops with Pressley, he'll realise, along with any remaining attending fans - that there is no future with Sisu.
Back to the Ricoh and it all changes.
Playing in Northampton is shameful and anyone supporting that by attending should be ashamed.
I make no apologies for saying that. My opinion.

Could not of put it better myself. They call it "harsh truth" if everyone thought the Same way we would be back st the Ricoh by now and not in this continual nightmare.

 

[Otis]

It most certainly is NOT our home, nor ever will be.


If it ever came to the stage that we stayed there permanently then it would no longer be our club anyway.

 

[AndreasB]

it is where we play so it is our home - put it in "quotes" if you like but the fact remains - bury your heads in the sand if you like but increasingly you sound out of touch with reality. You made your little protest last year, it had no effect, cant believe people are still saying you should be "ashamed" to watch your club. Outside of the Coventry bubble your stay away behaviour looks very odd to most football fans.

Who do you think most football fans find odd, the fans who set up AFC Wimbledon or the two or three Wimbledon fans who go to Milton Keynes? Why do you think most football teams have far more fans at home games than away games?

Personally, I think most football fans recognise that distance plays a key factor in determining the number of people who attend games. The fans didn't chose to move the club 35 miles away, Sisu did. Now Sisu have to live with the consequences.

 

[sky blue john]

It's amazingly obvious to most if no Coventry fans went to Sixfields this mess would probably be sorted within a month.
The football league would have no choice but to act. I am not saying the fl can force Sisu to take ccfc back to the Ricoh. But I should imagine they could put pressure on them.
The fl would be shamed into acting by the national press. The fl approved the move and if no Cov fans turned up fl would be embarrassed into some kind of action !!

Outside the Coventry bubble. That's probably because they don't fully understand the situation. Most other football fans haven't heard of our situation and some people I know from Coventry and Birmingham don't even know we have moved from the Ricoh. That's bad. Other football fans think Cov fans are bad for not going but they also think we are getting a new stadium in 3 years time that's why but us Cov fans know the truth that's it's bollocks so maybe we do know best.

So we know the truth and the reason 95% don't go to sixfields is for a reason. Sisu are trying to get the Ricoh or more specifically ACL on the cheap and sell on as a package. This is obvious. We as fans are being used as pawns in the chess game and unfortunately for them the majority have held firm and it's costing sisu a lot. They predicted higher numbers and more revenues to combat the move. Nopm is working all be it slowly but how can it not work when all Otium are about it money. Think about it. How are their investors making money when no money is coming in and severe losses. nopm is working. It has to be. What did joy say "investors were severely tested" this was before the confirmed sixfields attendances. I also think if not one person turned up to sixfields this would make a difference also. Just because there would be no money at all and just spending on losses. Again it would be slow just like nopm is but slowly and surely is good enough.

Myself I just want Cov playing in Cov. I don't care for owners or the council both are to blame and the Ricoh is our home whether we like the Ricoh or not it's where we play so forget HR we all know it was a mistake leaving but the future is now and another season is Northampton secures relegation for me which would break my heart again regardless of our owners. I want sisu gone as much as anyone but if they moved back to Ricoh tomorrow I would buy a season ticket or two.

It would make no difference whatsoever. The FL have no power to force a company to agree a private rent arrangement with a third party.

Stop peddling this nonsense. Its boring.

its not about what power the FL have, its about what power us fans have to exert pressure on the FL to mediate. while people are still paying to go into suxfields this pressure is diminished.

Lol !!!
Read my post again slowly so that your brain can engage the words.
Where did I say the fl could force ?????

 

[sky blue john]

Exactly SBT176.
And we all know the fl can break their own rules if they want to !!!
Sisu can't and won't Sue the fl because then it would bring the whole admin process out !!
Would Sisu want the admin process and fl discussions out in court ?

A complete failure to understand the parochial nature of the non plastic football fan.

They could refuse permission for playing in Northampton by interpreting existing rules differently and effectively forcing Sisu to do something different.
This would be based on NO fans going to Northampton and the FL saying it is not an option.
Crowds of 2000-3000 will not be noticed by FL in the greater scheme of things.
Stop peddling SISU nonsense. It's boring.

Surely if there is only 1 football stadium in Coventry, if they say "no you can't play outside of Coventry" it is effectively forcing them to play at that one stadium?

Not sure where you get that opinion from.

I live outside "of the Coventry bubble" and every football fan (and I do mean every) that I've discussed this with has been in complete agreement with the approach of the majority of our fans.

I don't believe a word of this to be true. What has the Football League done at ANY point to suggest they'd suddenly start giving a shit? The difference between 1500 people going and 0 going is arbitrary to them, so long as fixtures are fulfilled. If they were all about the fans or could be shamed we wouldn't be at Sixfields to begin with.

I find it amazing that any Coventry fan could have the slightest bit of faith in the Football League doing anything to help, but then it does serve the narrative that allows Suxfielders (lol, right) to be slagged off for the easy targets they are.

its not slagging off to have principles aj

Exactly, at no point do the FL have to say you must deal with ACL or you have to play at the Ricoh. All it needs is for them to say Coventry City have to play in Coventry.

As for the effect of no season tickets being sold while I doubt it would have a direct effect I can't imagine that us playing home games every week in front of a crowd of zero home fans would go unnoticed. As much as the lower leagues are ignored this would surely be picked up by the press. The more the spotlight is on us the more chance we have of the authorities actually doing something, when it becomes too embarrassing for them to ignore that is the point we might see something happen.

Lol!!

You said they would have "no choice to act" - yes they would have a choice - not to act - which is the choice they would make.

 

[sky blue john]

Lol!!

Lol !!!
Still how do get act to become force ??

 

[sky blue john]

For Grendels sake because he is a bit slow on the uptake !!
The football league could " Act " as a mediator !!
