Would you support a boycott of an FA Cup home game should we be drawn at home which you haven't pre-paid for a ticket.

Good question. In reality I don't think i would because I still love going every week despite the shit we are currently putting up with. Saying that, the only home game I missed last year was the FA cup match against Northampton. If we drew Solihull Moors in round one on a freezing Saturday in December I'd consider missing it.

I don't think being bottom of League 1 is the issue as Moz is saying. I'd take being bottom of League 2 if it looked like there were a way forward. I don't even see that at the moment.

'It's not just down to the owners is it?'. No shit Clive. Has this tosser taken the same 3 questions to every press conference he's attended since 2012?

I don't understand the negativity towards CWR and the Telegraph in this instance. They are both doing something to try and resolve the mess we are in. They have a programme like this where people, genuine CCFC fans as far as I can make out, are asked their views on the way forward for our club and the type of model of club they would like if we ever get rid of Sisu. Several times Clive summarised what had been said and mentioned that these areas would be the basis of what would be given to Jim Cunningham before a debate about CCFC in parliament next week. For me this seems a valuable thing to do as one of the things that Seppala seems to hate is publicity. I am sure she would rather Sisu's management of our club were not discussed and publicised at all. If this programmes means that MPs have a better understanding of CCFC fans concerns before they start talking, isn't that better? As mentioned several times on the programme anyone can add to this body of opinion passed to MPs through links on Twitter and Facebook. There may have been better ways of getting fans views. However it seems that it is easy for some to snipe at those who are trying to do something to save CCFC while offering very few constructive ideas themselves.

We need to question the club on where we are going not the council on what has happened.
People need to get over the past as it can't be changed and concentrate on the future which is unknown due to Sisu ignoring us.
Bringing the pst in all the time just clouds the issue and lets Sisu off the hook.

How does questioning the council help us to get rid of Sisu? Lots of parties responsible for our mess. However there is only one party that can change the downward spiral we are on and that is Sisu.

It's only a few people. It's because the CET hold the owners chiefly responsible for their own decisions. So anything involving the CET will get criticised by a few on here. The trust get the same.
I wouldn't pay it too much attention.
It's a very sensible thing to do and a very good idea.
The more it happens the better.
No doubt if the MP's raised the matter without any prior dialogue.
Someone would have been moaning from their armchair about that.

Of course you can two totally different sports.
Not my own personal preference but why not.
It seems it's ok to be a blaze fan and a CCFC fan. So I don't see why not.

It's all well and good, but it has to be people who know what's going on.

The same as they have been using jimmy hill's name, but laughed at the idea of promoting the legacy fund when asked.

If people want sisu to go, they need to be given a way out. Just shouting go is pointless.

They need to be forced out and the only way is financially by a total blanket boycott !

Or they just cut the budget to suit the income at that time? There is never going to be a 100% boycott.

Rinse and repeat.

That's why they keep making it clear the club has to be self sufficient, and is no doubt why apparently Tim Fisher is going to remind people.

In fairness to Moz, I have seen him say to a couple of people that it would be wrong to have a go at people who are going in.
