By now the attendees should have agreed to organise or join a protest. I think their position is a very weak one and gives succour to this dragging on indefinitely.
I do also agree that if there was no one at all in attendance, SISU and particularly the Football League would have to act soon to get the debacle sorted.
What do you think would happen with no fans there that would end it pretty quickly??
I think it would.
So would they liquidate and lose just about every penny they have wasted in our club or take us back to the Ricoh where they would make a few million a year if the fans come back?
They wouldn't be "making a few million"
the club has ran at substantial losses every year at the Ricoh.
So with no saleable asset yes they would liquidate. If there were zero fans there is no evidence this would make any difference - why would it.

I don't hold a grudge against those that go. I don't understand why they want to, but that's their business.
I am however a little disappointed in the Sixfields attendees though for not protesting. They should be going ape shit every single game.
I think the answer you are looking for is YES.
Where's the anger as to what has been done to your club?
It is claimed that they are supporting the team, not the regime. So why not show the owners what you think?
No but I hold a grudge against people who stutter
Yes I do. No apologies for it either. They are playing a part in the downfall of our club.
No 'home' fans at Sixfields this farce would be over pretty quick.
I don't think it would be over any quicker to be honest. The difference in revenue between zero and 1000 to 1500 home fans is negligible. Don't forget the away fans would still go.
One assumes you hold the same grudge against those that have gone to the away cup games at Wimbledon, Hartlepool, Barnsley and Arsenal?

And the losses are nothing to do with the management fees of 2.5m a year and interest payments of 1.2 million a year that they charge our club? We would make a profit other than the charges they put upon our club. So are you happy with the 3.7m a year they charge our club more than the 1.2 million that we were charged in rent? At least for the rent we had somewhere to play in Coventry. What do we get for the 3.7m they charge our club.......other than incompetence management?
Mark82, 1500 fans at a tenner each. Obviously £15,000. It's not that paltry figure (in football terms) that's the issue - and you know it.
Imagine the headline on Sky Sports News, NO CCFC fans turned up today against Carlisle or whoever. In the football world it would be very big news and red faces all round at Sisu & the various football authorities. The media would be all over it. David Conn would be all over it. A Football League club with NO fans (at least at their farcical 'home' games).
The Sixfield few should be with the vast majority of fans in forcing this issue.
Sorry I'm confused - so what are you saying - the losses are down to management fees and I loan interest payments?
Oh ok are you saying the prior regime also charged management fees and that's why they racked up catastrophic debt with an average wage bill by championship standards and bigger crowds than we had seen for decades?
Don't tell me - they weren't losingoney at all - really mr Coventry and co were making millions.

In terms of difference in revenue between zero, 1000 and 1500 fans this is not the issue.
The issue is that 1500 cov fans going to home matches at sixfields in the eyes of the football league, Sisu the world it rubber stamps their decision to move us from the ricoh !!!!
If no cov fans turned up to sixfields it would have forced the football league to take action !!!!
I reckon it would make a difference if 4000
turned up on the hill there would be chaos. Why don't you, Astute, Tony, Spion and a few others organise it. You've got until February 1st which is plenty of time.
It's as much the embarrassment and publicity as much as anything else Mark, and as I have said before, while some go there is always the hope for Sisu that crowds will increase if we do really well. If no-one goes whatever, then that belief is blown straight out of the window.
Sisu must at the moment hope that in time the crowds will return, especially if we are suddenly in chance of promotion etc.
Thing is, the fact is that if we did get into the play-offs a lot of City fnas would relent and turn up and I dare say Sixfields would be full.

I don't care if they go, but I have the ask the question why? Everyone has the right to do what they wish, but the damage they are doing is almost beyond repair. I agree with many other posters that if no one went this whole mess would come to a very rapid end.
Why are people going to watch a football match? I reckon it is because they want to go and watch a football match, they are not going to say they love SISU, they aren't going to prove any sort of point they are just going to watch a game of football.

Come off it Nick its more than that, you can watch game of football in the local park, or other local teams for example. Do you really believe if no one went to Sixfields it would not have an impactWhy are people going to watch a football match?

If people can go and watch local teams then fair play, but if they don't support local teams then why would they? People are making out that because other people want to go and watch their team play football they must have a big I Love SISU t shirt and be sleeping with Tim Fisher.
This 'rapid end' people are talking about could well be the end of the club alltogether. Not a sudden change of heart by the ballbags making the decisions and a helicopter back to the Ricoh with handjobs all round.
Back on topic. I don't hold a grudge. People can do what they want.
