Went on the hill today. Said I would and I wasn't going to back away from that even though it would have been easy to have paid my £16 and watched it all in comfort.
Was a bit dubious but credit to those people who were there. A decent bunch and not the slightest bit of antagonism towards those that go in. Was made to feel welcome and there was no judgement when I said that I had previously been going into games. Criticism towards these people is not warranted, because what they are doing is not easy. They are not there to watch the game for free because you can't see most of it, and it is a cold, wet experience (well today it was) and it is not as though they get much appreciation for what they do. I may not agree with all of them on where blame lies for all this, but they are decent people and CCFC to the core and I respect them totally.
I vowed today would be my last trip to Sixfields. But if I change my mind, I will stand with them again.
I saw so many tweets from fans of different clubs praising fans on the hill for standing in the rain to make a stand about NOPM.
Watched your game today, well done to those on the hill.
Were you blowing horns & whistles as you could hear them on TV!
Good luck,

In the pub a couple were talking about how it is silly to design a stadium like that because people will just go and watch for free.
To be fair there was no sound so.couldn't hear anything if something was said to explain.
Oh, somebody has been posting on here saying they had full permission to light them?
They're lazy. They aren't actually doing anything are they - or do you think it's hard work?

Over 40 police to look after us on the hill today, what a waste of tax payers money, at half time there were more police than fans. They were confrontational, they went through our bags, looking for tennis balls apparently.
Stopped us from doing the fireworks, even though we had been given the ok two days earlier. We were all filmed as its obvious a group of 50 year olds were going to start a riot on top of a hill on a damp Sunday afternoon.
Nice when the couple of Sheffield fans joined when they were 2-0 down, said it looked better fun on the hill and could hear us from other end of ground.
Weather was kind today, not sure if I will go again but must admit I did enjoy being there today and some real characters.
No one was nasty to anyone else, everything was done in fun and with a smile, but not sure my ears will ever be the same again as those horns made my head ring.
in fairness steve there were posters on this forum a few weeks ago saying about throwing tennis balls in the ground ..setting off flares ..lighting fireworks etc ..the police would have been hammered if this had of happened
Bollocks, thanked the post by accident.
Of course they are doing something, they are boycotting and giving NOPM to the club or sisu.
Here you go, in case you missed it earlier in the thread...

By the way was at the Ricoh at 7 so had my own one man protest directed to ACL and CCC had a great time I do hope more people such as yourself turn up next time
I did turn up. I just presumed you were the bloke who said "Eh mate, a quick wrister for a tenner, what do you reckon?"

.... and my rattle ?
Nobody's a superfan, but there are certainly a lot of people who won't get off their arses.

You are a liar two of us were there and two guys waiting for a taxi. If I had made the offer I'm sure you would have accepted.
