How's that blind? It's quite simple, it won't be sisu paying fines. Joy won't be forking out for it will she?None so blind.
Of course he is! Can you explain why?Well then I'm afraid you're part of the problem mate

So if they were smoke bombs can we use that term. They are a world away from flares and it just sensationalism
I hope the back pats are worth it then.
Why not channel the energy actually to SISU?
Protests
So blowing whistles.... I think we are all agreed if it has to be done then all match by thousands is better than individuals blowing it attempting to mimic the Ref.
Pitch invasions if non violent and it is to make a point in a televised match. Hold up a flag and walk off. Abuse nobody and be aggressive to nobody is wisest. ( be aware you are breaking the law so probably not wise Full stop in my opinion )
Tennis balls plastic pigs ect Seems to get attention without causing too much divide.
An all out boycott of one home game would definitely get attention and cause no grief at all.
Smoke bombs Flares rightly seems resondedly critised as dangerous.
Have the people who believe that protests have no affect on SUSU at all got any ideas for a protest that would in their opinion?
Surely they don't think we should just sit their and allow are club to be slowly driven into non league?

It doesn't take a genius to work it out. If you buy a season ticket you are helping Sisu to break even every year. There's only so much they can cut before making a loss. You can't tell me Sisu are more likely to leave if you buy a season ticket then not buying a season ticket.Of course he is! Can you explain why?
As previously been said some prefer to put their efforts into defending the in defendable rather than the solution to rid this scum from our clubHow do you propose we do that?
It's not Sisu's season ticket money though is it. It's ccfc's. You can't just change the facts to make it suit your stance.It doesn't take a genius to work it out.

Oh-I thought Sisu owned the club!I was pointing out that SISU won't be paying fines and CCFC will. Sad world if that is a "minority" opinion isn't it when it is exactly what will happen.
Sisu own CCFC mate. Whatever money the club has is there'sIt's not Sisu's season ticket money though is it. It's ccfc's. You can't just change the facts to make it suit your stance.
And how does that mean they pay the fine?Oh-I thought Sisu owned the club!
What's going to get rid of them Nick, fines or buying season tickets to help them break even?And how does that mean they pay the fine?

Are you for real, other clubs fans might "get sick and tired" of it but so what if this shit were happeningOther clubs are getting sick and fed up with it. We're looking to other clubs for support and all were doing is turning them against us. Like throwing tennis balls at sheff utd player taking throw ins. Blowing whistles when Bolton are attacking to put them off (even if it did back fire). Sounds like their keeper today wasn't far from being hit with a flare!! Fucking numpties.
They'll all being crying on here and fb soon cuz no other clubs give a shit about us!

I was in a the home area today. I didn't hear anybody around me who was in the slightest bit sympathetic to our cause before the flares were thrown. Lots of jibes about Sixfields being our home, What's it like to have no home etc.Other clubs are getting sick and fed up with it.

But I can tell you that Coventry City are more likely to die if people don't put money in to the club.It doesn't take a genius to work it out.

I have genuine sympathy for the position you find yourselves in. I respect your right to protest, even if it disrupts the game, even it leads to a complete abandonment of the game. The situation is clearly desperate and the stakes are being raised. I don't know the exact goings on at your club but get the idea that someone is putting it's future at risk and I don't blame any of you for fighting hard against that. We had a bad owner very recently. We started to fight a bit, but ultimately we were very lucky that he left quickly with the law on his tail. No short memories here, I feel your pain.I was in a the home area today. I didn't hear anybody around me who was in the slightest bit sympathetic to our cause before the flares were thrown.

I didn't see any flare that went near anyone on the pitch. I left after the third goal to stand on the hill for the last few minutes. A Northampton fan, came up the slope and said how sorry he was for us as fans, sympathised with what has happened.
I think that most football fans don't know all that has gone on here and most won't care anyway. However those that have a bit about them and have kept up with the goings on will understand and realise protests are not aimed at them or their club but that it is the only thing left for fans to do. Maybe they realise they are only one set of bad owners away from being us.
Thank you for taking the time to post and I agree with many of your sentiments, I wish the fans had found another way to protest like I wish we weren't in this predicament, however I can understand the frustration of our fans.I have genuine sympathy for the position you find yourselves in.

Before today, the over whelming majority of reasonable minded Cobblers fans were sympathetic and many would have supported an organised protest of some kind if asked to as well. However, after today the majority of that support has shifted.
The trouble is that what happened today did not feel like a protest in the end. The flares being thrown initially, to chants of We Want Sisu Out I got. But then two lads who run onto the pitch and approach the ref and various players, clearly threatening violence, shortly after a red card has been given seems to have nothing to do with a protest. It was just thuggery.
Further pitch invaders again approached home areas with aggression and gestures stereotypically associated with football hooligans. How is that a protest? How does that support your cause?
An announcement is then made that if any more flares or pitch invasions happen the game will be abandoned. Order is then restored completely for the rest of the first half and the start of the second. Then the first goal goes in and suddenly flares rain onto the pitch as do supporters. Again, this had nothing to do with a protest and everything to do with trying to force the promised abandonment of a game you were now losing.
Trying to dress these acts up as a desperate protest just completely undermines your cause, and all efforts to gain positive publicity and garner support for it. If you want to get these people out, you need to be heard but you also need to win the argument.
I wish you every success in beating them. I genuinely do. We spoke with a number of Cov fans at the cup game last year and as with all clubs the majority are just sound, ordinary people and were very sympathetic to our plight then.
A successful campaign will need to unite and involve all of those decent, ordinary people and violence and intimidation will just alienate both your own fanbase and the rest of the football family.
For what it is worth, I think a complete boycott would be the best option. If literally nobody goes for half a dozen games they'll have to give in. Sadly it seems most football fans do not have the stomach for this though.
Shaded only sky blue sunshineNo but it appears that is very shaded one way with you
Fans? Who don't to think of the consequences for their club, and they ain't fans man they are part and the accelerate Pedal of our clubs demiseIt's almost as if some posters are spinning it just to do anything to put the boot into fans who are rightly so at the end of their tethers.
Idiot really read the ccfc accounts, then you will see nobody takes anything out, ccfc accounts will show you this when publishedIt doesn't take a genius to work it out.
