And if we then won the Championship and then the Prem like Leicester would you say thank you to Fisher and Joy?

What"Imagine everybody being stoned posting on here.
Quaint you taking your parents and your father in law, I bet you get them a hot chocolate at half time?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.
Twisted barrel actuallyA lot harder to go when your peer group stop going.
Mind you, if/when (i.e. not under these ownersbut that's because of inept club management rather than principle) we start winning again, sure a lot of us will be back.
It's the endless circle mind, where a small, small minority think they speak for everybody when it comes to NOPM being the reason for people not going, and I thought better of the OP than to give them as much credence as he seems to. The best thing the rest of us, if we go or not, could do is to recognise it's a (very!) small number who are actively boycotting. Of those, I'm pretty sure some of them just use it as an excuse because for some bizarre reason they're too ashamed to admit they'd rather sit around in their pants drinking the latest BrewDog beers while watching Lizard Lick Towing on Dave.
You have to feel sorry for them don't you, they're in their 80s and the only ThingBet it's well pissy round there , and not the olds either
Why have I been mentioned in the OP? I don't think I've ever commented on here (or twitter) about if people should renew their season tickets or not.
As I say, been mooted before, but this is different. If people are going to save themselves £300 in not renewing, then all I am asking to set aside £20 odd quid of that and go to one single match at the Ricoh. All of us.
And now they have broken the promises made about using 60% of income and transfer fees received we should ignore that fact and continue to go in large numbers knowing that they are about to sell our training ground and give us the worse football and be at the bottom of Division 3 which is lower than most of us have ever known because for half a season we did well in Division 3?All I'm saying is there wasn't much sisu out going on when we were top
Don't worry about it mate, he treats most fellow fans with contempt.Why have I been mentioned in the OP? I don't think I've ever commented on here (or twitter) about if people should renew their season tickets or not.

Just ignore him. He seems to think that his job is to wind people up who refuse to blame anyone but SISU for what is happening to our club.Why have I been mentioned in the OP? I don't think I've ever commented on here (or twitter) about if people should renew their season tickets or not.
Of course it would be. It would mean that we would be winning games and not losing to just about every club we play. A lot of the doom and gloom would be lifted. We would have something to look forward to other than Fisher's deluded rants.I agree with you, all I asked is would it be different if we returned to the top

Nothing wrong with that I have always been a little derangedThe point of this thread was to try and point out some people actually will continue to support the team as they actually want to. That's it.
Some of the responses are bordering on the deranged.
Say no more.
I have many friends that went to sixfields never agreed but it was their choice.
Some sre now realising that we are totally being fucked over by Sisu, and want no more of it after all they showed more faith in our owners then anyone else did.
I have never had any faith in these wankers so will just carry on for one more season, if then it doesn't improve then I too will be off.
If we are religated the minimum we should accept is a play off place.
The same as the ones that are named and shamed for not buying? :banghead:People buying season tickets next season are being named and shamed on this forum
Your reply Grendel? or did you miss this post when you replied later?He's repeatedly named me for year's as someone who doesn't have a season ticket to validate his "facts" over my opinion. His hypocrisy knows no bounds.
What you are actually doing gren is making assumptions on fans motives for not going dont put words in to others mouths. I have not had a season ticket ever, it was down to affordability in the late seventys and early 80s. Since then my job means i work Saturdays so can only go mid week. My father has been a regular season ticket holder and has been going since the 50s, both with his dad and me and now his grandsons. My kids, who are both the age that the club should be trying to attract, no longer go as they say that its crap, they do occasionaly watch the blaze and have been to wasps games which they enjoy because their is a good atmosphere and decent action. My father has decided not to renew next year, partly because his grand kids dont go anymore but the majority of the decision was made recently. Tim made his mind up for him at the age of 70, his blatent lies and threats have made him look at what he values and requires from his club, we are more removed now from the jimmy hill revolution and ethics than we have ever been. Its the only way he can make his voice heard, attending games is the most frustrating experience for people having their passion and patience tested by our clueless owners and twat of a chairman.
You can carry on buying season tickets as can the good folks that sit around you, if anything i admire your half glass full attitude. The club however is being ran into the ground by fuck wits with out a plan or a clue, they are treating you with disdain even though you are a stakeholder, as its your hard earned money they need. But its your choice to go, so when you dont have a ground to go to the season after next when we kick off the new Conferance season i am sure you can sit on Tims lap on pitch 3 at the Memorial park and discuss his plans for owning our own ground and being cash neutral.
I rest my case.Because you already are?
We know the potential support is there, so do SISU, so does Tim Fisher. This idea has been banded about before. How on earth are you going to persuade another 10,000 plus to go to a game as a one off and to prove what exactly ?To turn this thread into some kind of positive direction, I have an idea for fellow fans and I would be totally onboard with it myself.
Why don't we all allocate one game where we all go. Where we all turn up. Try and fill the Ricoh as best we can for one single game. Make a statement that the support IS there. Show that there is a way back.

You have.
Isn't it Covman rather than Covfan?
Not really.The Gillingham and Crewe games already showed the potential support is there. There's no way we can fill the Ricoh under present conditions so we may as well bin that idea.
What potential? One off games mean very little, even less so when the tickets are a fiver a pop.The Gillingham and Crewe games already showed the potential support is there. There's no way we can fill the Ricoh under present conditions so we may as well bin that idea.

28k saying to any future owners this is what's waiting if you show you care for the club.
