i observe a growing unity from certain posters on here with the fringe mentality on the CT site.
Namely, there is a growing view they purchasing season tickets is a way to put money into the owners and to support the owners. We are told we need to be aware of our actions and that by taking the action of purchasing a ticket we are keeping sisu here.
Sadly outside of this bubble there lived a lot more normality towards watching football matches.
This season I sit next to a rather engaging couple in their 80's who've supported the club for as long as they can remember. They are very engaging and very much ccfc fans. Also near to me is a chap who is also in his 80's - looks younger - who gets dropped off and picked up by one of his children every game.
These supporters are going to renew next season - well as one of the couple said "as long as we are not dead"
The other elderly chap says it's his day out.
I've never really engaged in a conversation with them about sisu. They wouldn't, I suspect, be interested. Perhaps next Monday I should tell them there are people who are called "Covfan" "Dongonzalos" and "gosford green" who believe they are wrong to renew and they should think of the long term and at least need to know what they are doing. I suspect they'd think I'd lost my mind and ask if I wasn't feeling well.
The point is most people out of here don't think endlessly about NOPM, the principals and the thought of paying for Joy Seppalla's new handbag. Oddly they just want to spend 90 minutes watching a game of football.
No politics, no ulterior motive, no feeding a hedge fund. Just a continual enjoyment of the simple game.
Something I think some in here should take heed from.

Around me there are probably 20 season Ticket holders.
We have all had the same seats as long as the City have been at the Ricoh. 6 of them even had ST at sixfields 1 also has a Wasps ST.
I know of only 2 renewing their tickets next year.
One has already stopped going her husband now comes on his own.
Sad dad times
The ages range from about 21 to 65
It's a bit like a church congregation on a Sunday morning. Full of old people who go out of habit and have nothing better to do.
No offence to any church goers on here.
Thing is, some will still enjoy it. Hell, *I* enjoy it now and again... just not every week anymore
And let's face it, as CCFC fans it's never been just about the entertainment has it, we've never exactly been the neutrals' faourites, bar for a May weekend nearly 30 years ago.

That's fair enough. Nobody can say its great fun.Yes, I have disdain for the owners and Fisher but my real issue is lack of enjoyment.

However thats a long way from those who believe paying for a season ticket is funding Joys shipping trips and call those who do go scabs. Its starting to happen and unfortunately I can only see it getting worse.

What a patronising way to make a point. Do people stop having views when they get past eighty then? My Dad, a lifelong City supporter, was 89 when he passed over 3 years ago. I can assure you that even at 86 he would have been very much interested to chat with you about what was happening to his club.

Not that weird really is it. Just they've reached their shiteness saturation point!ST at Sixfields, yet have decided not to go next season at the Ricoh? Weird.
But that is a very very small minority.What's patronising is people telling others they shouldn't be going as by doing so they are supporting the present regime rather than just going.
That's patronising.
What's patronising is people telling others that they MUST buy tickets to support the team because hurting SISU is hurting CCFC. I can't see how really as has been pointed out by certain posters they are NOT co-joined.What's patronising is people telling others they shouldn't be going as by doing so they are supporting the present regime rather than just going.

Why the speech marks?Just find it strange they would have gone to Sixfields to "support the lads", but not now.
But I suspect from what is a luxury outlay for them, they do deserve a better return. The fact remains the club can be better run even within sensible constraints. The current owners have proved consistently they are incapable of achieving this. Those fans Grendel and I include you in this, deserve better.
Grendel....how about answering posts like this instead of waiting for one where you can have a dig at someone.Yeah, a day out at the dentist having teeth pulled with no anaesthetic.
This guy might still be enjoying it, but clearly growing numbers are not. The off field stuff is impinging on the on field stuff.
We have no ground, soon to maybe not have a worthy academy, are in perpetual decline and now pretty much getting knocked out of cups early on, having really bad mid season slumps, keep selling our best players, are told cuts may be necessary making it even less likely we can get out of this division in the right direction, have owners who are pretty much universally disliked, having to endure poorer and poorer atmospheres as the attendances dwindle and fans are are giving up on their club in numbers.
Yeah, what a day out!
I still have a season ticket and I still love my club, but it is getting increasingly painful going up and before when defeats would spoil my weekend, now they're doing nothing more than creating a shoulder shrug from me.
Where is the optimism? Where is the future?
With every season I have renewed hope and believe that maybe this could be our year. For the first time now though, after listening to Fisher talk, I will enter into a season merely expecting us to survive. No ambition, no excitement, just drudgery ahead.
The way I feel now I will not be getting a season ticket and that will be the first time in an absolute age. I have been going up man and boy since the late 60's.
I used to be so excited about going to watch the City. Going up and supporting the club I love and going into every game with optimism in my heart. I would go rain or shine, well or not well.
Missed my brother's own wedding to go and watch the City. Would walk for two hours to get to a game.
Now if I have the slightest flu I don't attend. Yeah enthusiasm has gone. The excitement is gone. I reckon now we are lucky to get more than 4 or 5 good games of football a season here at the Ricoh.
It has become colder and soulless, but that is because the team has consistently failed, people don't have faith in the owners doing the right thing for the club and they are walking away from it.
It's all very tragic and one man's day out is another thousands day of gloom and dullness.
For every one man you talk of there must be a thousand who think the complete opposite.
The future is looking very, very glum.
If we got relegated this season, but I thought we could compete at the right end of the table I would be there again with my ST, but I think most of us believe that if we did get relegated we would merely be set up to try and survive in League Two. Repeat ad nauseum.
Until we get new owners this club is going absolutely nowhere other than downwards.
Really?
It was very good football at Northampton until one striker got sold and the other got injured. Now it is just shite.Just find it strange they would have gone to Sixfields to "support the lads", but not now.
Yeah i wondered about the speech marks. Why did fans go then?
To support the lads? Speech marks indicate a quote, don't they?
What's patronising is people telling others that they MUST buy tickets to support the team because hurting SISU is hurting CCFC. I can't see how really as has been pointed out by certain posters they are NOT co-joined.
