I don't think it was SISU who divided the club. For me, the decision to base protests around attending or not attending matches was naive and has been what has caused the biggest divide amongst fans. After all, no-one wants SISU running our club - in this we are united as a fanbase. On the march through the city centre we were together as fans and it was well attended. Instead of harnessing that, our fan groups implemented multiple campaigns that required people to make a choice and, effectively, take a side

So the thousands that are not going were influenced by fan groups? I'm a member of the Trust if they had said go to Sixfields I still wouldn't have. People of all persuasions made their own minds up fortunately in this country thats still possible.
Like the vast majority of fans, I don't belong to any fans groups and choose not to attend Sixfields. I allow myself to make my own mind up jsut like every other decision made in life.

No, thousands were not influenced by fan groups. Most people I know choose not to go and watch purely because Coventry City FC no longer play in Coventry. A couple of thousand do go and they are all choosing to support the club in Northampton for their own personal reasons and I'm pretty sure not as a gesture of support for SISU or their regime. And that's exactly my point, people will always make up their own mind to go and watch or not, so campaigns like NOPM were dividing the fan base because they instantly pigeon holed the sixfields attendees because they were breaking the picket lines and helping to keep the club in Northampton. There hasn't been a protest or a media covered event that all fans could get behind without crossing a personal principle since the City Centre march
