According to you nothing can?
Suppose we should all give up and go home.
Shame we don't have one.

Protesting in Sixfields though can't work can it?

Isn't a show of complete unity as a fan base worth the effort of protesting inside sixfields?
It's not all about revenue, it's the publicity and becoming totally "blown out".
A bit like the Berlin wall and apartheid, eventually common sense takes over. You can't beat the people in the end.
Yeah I know the analogy is OVER THE TOP, but do you get my drift?
Would you join me, then? If we could get half a dozen, say, you up for that?
Maybe I need to bump edgy's banner thread again...

I honestly can't understand the difficulty accepting that some people have personal morals and that they will not breach them.
The sanctimonious drivel spoken on here is wearing me down.
Lets get a few things straight;
Sixfields is a poor ground compared to the Ricoh.
The atmosphere is terrible. It's at best a reserve game when people used to go to reserve games.
All fans who go do not support sisu or "the plan" (whatever that is) just the team over the 90 minutes they are there.
The game being played out will be played our regardless of attendees. The fact players are being signed at least indicates the club has a 2 year future. I lament the day we ever moved into the infernal arena and sold the one asset we had but we must have 2 years. I hope they are in coventry and not sixfields but either way I'm going to as many games as I can.
The team needs supporting. Nothing, NOTHING will change the stance of both sides in this war.
If people go and want to protest then do so but apathy and casual ambivalence is no longer an acceptable argument as isn't nopm.
130 years of history isn't going to be flushed away if people want to continue the support.

In which case it's you and me who won't protest in Sixfields.
Therefore, pretty pointless to focus on some other people who won't protest in Sixfields.
Instead of focussing on absence, it would be better to look for the opportunities for presence.

I agree with you to a degree although I just can't fathom why if those that do attend Sixfields feel just as strongly about what has happened to our club they couldn't boycott at least 1 half of a game. Those that don't go cite morals, conscience, a generation missing out on supporting a team in their home city, having the heart ripped out of a city and making a stand....Those that go just seem to say they're supporting the lads. Who would be making the bigger sacrafice? It's 45 minutes!
You could throw that back and say it's just be 45 minutes for you too to go in and then walk out.
Far more effective if more did it.
Just 45 minutes, that's all. Not much of a sacrifice...
Not really NW because those that don't attend don't because of their principles and their conscience....they believe something is so fundamentally wrong that they feel they have to make a stand...rightly or wrongly. Maybe those that go do the same but I can't see it myself....seems to just be about supporting the lads.
I think the premise here that deserves challenge, is that the Sixfields boycott isn't having some effect financially and also putting pressure on the owners to return to Coventry.
Just because someone on here says that SISU are willing to continue to throw money at it doesn't make it true. It would be a remarkable business that was willing to continue to throw good money after bad, year-on-year.
I can understand if people really feel that they have to go and watch the team, and I don't want to hammer anyone for it. But to try to justify it by saying that it doesn't make any difference doesn't seem quite right to me, sorry. Go to Sixfields by all means, if you must, but accept that by doing so you are (whether you like it or not) offering some encouragement to our owner's current strategy.
In a related concept, talk of a protest inside Sixfields seems similarly misguided to me. It's just putting money in SISU's pockets, and for what? They know that the majority of fans don't want to be there. I'm sure they'd love 6,000 extra fans to turn up and pay twenty quid just to boo Fisher - what exactly would it prove?

Holy shit what a business model...
I would happily stand for 90 minutes and have 6000 people rant at me for twenty quid a pop !!!
Not far enough in my opinion. If you're asking people to go somewhere they swore not to go then something would have to happen inside by ALL of the CCFC fans inside. What that is is upto the people who go but just going for 45 minutes won't mean jack shit. When Cov were playing shit (hard to think I know) loads left at half time to go to the pub so no one will give a shit if people start leaving at half time. Sisu certainly won't give a shit because they will just be counting the extra money and the FL won't care.
Some kind of big protest in the ground will make everyone take notice.
I tend to agree, but I'm trying to hammer home the point till I fall asleepthat we have control over doing such a thing.
Don't want to? Fine. But then anybody who isn't doing such a protest is the majority rather than minority, we all share that in common... whatever else they choose to do for their leisure time.
Question is, how far are you willing to go as a Cov fan? You can sit there singing "Sisu Out" but it is where you sing "Sisu Out" what will make people take notice.
Question.
Would you help with a protest in Northampton? I would if one were organised I could get behind (and yes, I suppose I could organise it myself).
But the sit back and let other people organise things is something we're all guilty of really, isn't it. letsallsingtogether may be as annoying as fuck with a whistle, but he does have a point that many of us have sat back.
That applies to Sixfields too. Not sure we can complain about no protests in there unless we're prepared to do it ourselves.
Nah, join me inside. Can't do it by myself, don't particularly want to do it, but if you want a protest inside Sixfields...
The same reasoning could be used for not going full stopfact is supporting the team is one thing , but in 5 years time ,not one of those players will be here, not the manager, and I doubt very much if any of the coaches will be here only the longest suffering fans in English football will remain. no one can justify going to northampton.

I agree but for the point about the sanctimonious drivel wearing me down. I don't mind it at all, in the right doses it can be quite amusing. I don't mean that to be offensive to anyone, I just wanted to highlight that there is a comical aspect to this whole situation that many are missing out on by stewing in their misery. If this were happening to Villa or Leicester we would be pissing our sides - surely we can all cheer up a bit and see the funny side for a change?The sanctimonious drivel spoken on here is wearing me down.
