Whilst I'm sure you wouldn't endorse such a thing, rumours such as tennis balls and fireworks are good to have out there.
It will increase the police presence, which will increase cost to Northampton taxpayers and to Sixfields matchday costs.

Rumours?:thinking about:
I do hope these are nothing more than silly rumours and we cannot condone any such actions.
This is a small noisy protest, we just want to get our message over.

I've seen a few things on Facebook, sorry, personally I don't care either way. Fans will do what they think is right for them. Go in, stand on the hill, stay at home, protest, not protest, throw tennis balls, let off fireworks, don't think it's anyone's right to say what's right or wrong.
because that will really help the mood of the team wont it. Jesus. Are you really that thick?

Why would rumours affect the mood of the team?

AndreasB- Why do you continually turn reasoned debate and points, which you may or may not agree with, into low level personal attack; yet more "faux" intelligence on view perhaps?
Exactly and this would be alot more painful then 50 fans on a hill voicing their opinion, yet still their cheering on the team watching the game for free..... the trust say a small protest... honestly what planet are you on.. it will achieve sweet F.A as per usual.
Softies.
Mood of the team lmao oh I have seen some comments on here...
No reason to make their way down... errr what to join 50 people on a hill for 60 seconds of fame and then have a shit view of the game from the hill ( just so you can still watch the game instead of paying) .. just as bad as those who go in in my view.
VOTE WITH YOUR FEET PEOPLE DON'T ATTEND TONIGHT AND DON'T LISTEN TO THE BS FROM THE SHITE TRUST
CCFC- Held as a hostage in Northampton by SISU- the ransom demand? Freehold to the Ricoh.
First Game 1973.
Season ticket holder 1978- 2013.
2013> Principled objector. Away only.
Bring us home.
Better than being a self righteous bore like you though.
To be fair, the protest was mentioned as the headline for the BBC news this morning. Does it achieve anything? Yes, awareness of the situation and continues to put pressure on all those involved. I won't be there but fully support the rest of the sky blue army. Well done all those that are going. PUSB
Cannot condone .. so a piece of paper at 35 minutes is going to be threatening, Joy will spit her coffee everywhere, Fisher will be on suicide watch, and banging on ACLs door tomorrow begging for mercy.
Joy will come out and beg for fans forgiveness, the FL will be sacked, Coventry will instantly return rent free to the Ricoh and all pie money will be donated to the club as a good will gesture because those thousands on the hill made one hell of a difference, the white house will congratulate on what was a superb fight against evil.
Behave yourself, cannot condone.. I know alot of clubs fans would of took matters into their own hands and pushed alot harder than we have, thats for sure.. now enjoy this evening and your next arse licking session with Joy in private.

I'm planning on making my debut on the hill this evening. The more the better it will look IMO. Shows we will not give up.
With regards to the "pointless protest" I can see people's point. However the only alternative is actions which could land you in trouble. As tempting as it may be for some; I am 24, with a decent job and an 18 month old daughter so it would hardly be wise to start causing a nuisance.
Now of course it is easier to avoid landing yourself in trouble if a large number of people were to do it.

For me, the only way we are going to make a point is by doing something drastic that will stop play. I know its not fair on the players but to be honest why should we care about the players. They don't care about the club. I'm beginning to think no one does, including the fans. If 100 or so fans sat down on the pitch in the middle of the game and stopped play then that might actually get talked about. Holding up a piece of paper, with the best intentions, is sadly not going to do anything.
Sure, we will be looked down upon as fans by the rest of the football world but I couldn't care. Its not happening to them. Its happening to us and it needs to stop.

First of all I couldn't give a monkeys toss about the affect on the team. They are just doing a job, they don't care about ccfc. Do you really think they do!?
Secondly why would a rumour of a tennis ball ruin the mood of the team?
Thirdly I would take a record defeat tonight if it increased the chances of getting something done.
Im sure you want to be back at the Ricoh as much as the rest of us, but posts like this just make it appear as though your priorities are in the wrong place.
Your thoughts before tonight should be "How as a fan can I contribute towards getting my club back to Coventry?" Instead I suspect your thoughts are "How as a fan can I contribute to a team victory? "

I really don't know what's happened to this town since I were young.
You have no idea sunshine.
Too many softies following the city compared to in my day..alot of clubs would of done alot more if this had happened to them..
Anyway.. you enjoy your plaque card on 35minutes tonight, each to their own, but for me... its going to be a full 2minutes coverage with 1 coach of fans yes fans's who for some bizarre reason still love to go to Northampton and watch the team on the hill.
Your just the same as those who go in, just want to see for free, thats the only difference.
The amount of begging on here the last few days trying to get people to go beggers belief.
Vote with the feet would of been more embarrassing and bigger stir news wise.
But by all means enjoy your 2 minutes of fame.... shame no one can be arsed to even think poor little coventry in two days time.

Perhaps you will still like fishers arse and still talk absolute bollocks on the forum each day... sorry I must be disturbing you and your 100k job.. sorry I think your boss is shouting to clean the toliets pal.
By and large Cov are well behaved,
a dutiful bunch. Pay their taxes on time and don't smash windows.
But everybody has a breaking point.[/QUOTE]
A whole host of clubs fans would of done far worse.... now cast back to the 80s 90s and we are at HR and sisu try moving us then... with the crowd who followed us then... I think WW3 would of started by now.
Each to their own though.

There are sometimes a few grumbles on the Cobbler's Forum from fans (who in my opinion are looking for ways to alleviate their guilt) saying that you lot deserve it because of the "attitudes" a lot of your fans have about the move. Its usually when somebody has got upset over the phrase shitfields or something. My response to this is we have got off lightly! Like you say imagine if it was Leeds or Millwall or your 80s or 90s fanbase being made to watch your team at Sixfields. Saying that I like to think if we still had the supporters trust we had in the 90s: http://www.ntfctrust.co.uk/origins.aspx then things might be different.
Anyway, off to the cinema tonight at the top of the hill, promise not to batter a Northampton fan if I join the protest for a bit ;-)

Original point upheld I fear.. I wont descend to personal insult or attack...this is a forum, debate. All the best.
Just realised that I will be making two trips to Sixfields in one day!. Went to the tip this morning (very efficiently run I must say - also there is a joke in there somewhere re the tip), and shall be up on the hill tonight for a bit. Thoroughly enjoying life in the fast lane!
