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

Thats right, our fans are so principled they would rather go and watch MK Dons away than our own club. The fans that attend Sixfields are the least plastic Coventry fans of all.

Are you trying to say that we went to the MK game to watch MK Dons and not our own side?

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?

I didn't say in Coventry or the Ricoh.
Surely after a year the FL would expect some progress ?
In my opinion 2000 is acceptable to the football league so they will leave Sisu alone.
In my opinion those 2000 have therefore condemned us to Northampton for the foreseeable future.

Some of our fans. Wish you would stop keep lumping us all together and keep saying 'our fans!' One of your worst faults. There are lots of different fans not going to Northampton and people have very different reasons for not doing so.

Many of us do not do away games anyway and were therefore not at Milton Keynes.

andreas is right about that though, it was cringy and pathetic to take so many to mk dons. it shows that those fans only care about franchising when it concerns ccfc.

It shows ccfc fans care more about ccfc than Wimbledon, which I would expect anyway.

The alternative scenario/reasoning or are you just an insulting 3 word moron ?

I refer you to aj's post #135 previous page. Don't have time now but happy to debate at length this evening.

Surely Sixfielders would attend every possible away game though as "they just want to watch the team"?

Whilst i partially agree.
Because it was MK dons and the size of our following it did attract some national press articles to our plight.

The thing is, MK dons are here and aren't going anywhere so deal with it. We however have not been franchised to another god forsaken place so we shouldnt go to northampton but MK Dons are an established club so taken so many fans there isn't a problem at all.

i think if AFC Wimbledon fans are willing to travel to MK why should anyone else have an issue with it?

so you dont want to be judged for attending suxfields but are quite happy to judge fans who went to MK? that a touch hypocritcal dont you think?

perhaps we should "deal with it" before completely dissmissing Wimbledon fans.

It would make no difference whatsoever.

For once, I find myself agreeing with Grendel. If no CCFC fans went to Sixfields, it would make no difference. The FL have already shown that they don't care. I don't go to Sixfields, nor will I, but I don't believe that zero 'home' fans would encourage the FL to try to bring a quicker end to this farce.

Possibly not but it would make worldwide sports headlines if a professional football club had zero home fans and that would add more pressure on the FL to take action.

We'll never know.

Do you really think anyone gives a shit about a mediocre third division team, worldwide sports headlines, what planet are you on?

I know it wouldn't even attract two lines in the dailies.

Yet everyone outside the "coventry bubble" knows that many are boycotting according to AndreasB.

It would not be a news at 10 headline....neither would it only attract a couple of lines in the daily rags...

...it would attract a little more coverage than it did last year where the BBC etc. did several articles with titles such as "the club who take more fans away" etc.

...Mind you...much like most threads on here...an absolutely pointless argument as it will never ever happen.

Ah, so you're using someone you disagree with as an example now to back up your argument?

I tend to agree no one turning up would be a fleeting story and then forgotten. We're on our own here.

Zero fans. Try it and prove everybody wrong by doing it ?

If you leave things the same then you continue with the same !!

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.

What an utter load of rubbish. Little protest when over 90% of fans boycotted away-home games. Add the dismal money available for the team for
next season, all caused by the lack of revenue at the cabbage patch ground and I would say the boycott is a huge success. Long may it continue.

"boycott" = cant be arsed. Dont try and make it some heroic action.

So why dont people boycott away games then, surely this would have the same impact if No-one supported the club home or away until something happened?
