I'd actually like all that to be true and just wanted some proof that it was.They may not have set the lawyers loose yet but that doesn't mean they don't, their love of the courts is well known.
"Proof" is quite a hard thing to find, even in some court cases. Unless we have a genuine Otium mole rather than just people who are accused of it! But "evidence" that they're fooked, well we have plenty of that.
I'm sure my £9 over 3 years of boycotting a SISU owned club will serve them well...
In fact, I reckon if we're doing the moralistic dick waving, me boycotting them over King, not going to Northampton apart from a recce to say how shit it was, and not giving a franchise club some cash makes me positively erect compared to your flaccid selective morals
But you've been, I haven't.
When all this is finished me and thousands of others can look back and think thank god i never caved in and gave money to the bastards who Stole our club away.
Solidarity.

He didn't exactly give it a glowing review-and left at half-time if I remember correctly? Fair enough!
And how is it caving in to go and report back that it's not worth going...? Think about it now, think ve-ry carefully about that message...
Unlike you, it seems, I don't think literally in terms of pounds, shillings, and pence, I think about what message is conveyed.
And as I started a boycott first, I'm obviousl;y a better person than you. If only you hadn;t crossed my picket line back in the day we might not even be having this tete a tete...

Correct to the first part, leaving at half-time was when I stood on the hill.
actually finding things out for the greater good
The word "are" in the original post needed to be followed by the word "probably" as otherwise it appears to be stating a fact not an opinion. I agree that they are likely to be suffering from a lower income at Sixfields but we don't know for a fact that they are running short of cash. No one has provided any proof one way or the other about the state of the finances of our owners. I'm not defending Sisu and think that they are the worst owners we've ever had and deserve the disgust they get from us.
I'd say not going isn't the same as a boycott, but you'd use that argument against me as evidence that not all non-Sixfields attendees are boycotting. Which of course they aren't-just most of them.
Was your boycott an anti-SISU one? I tried to start one of those at the end of the relegation season but my bastard mate went and renewed our ST's any way!
Anyway im not going to get into an argument about it.
You're not?!?
But like an old woman, you do seem to feel the need for the (same boring and repetitive) last word.
I do see the point of this thread. We are essentially protesting that our club has been moved 35 miles away from home by turning up in 1000's at a game where the team were moved 50 odd miles away from their home. That is why I said I don't feel some form of protest at MK dons is appropiate because it is far too ironic.
What it showed then, and what has been proven again now, is that the Football League in particular and the F.A. are organisations that are not fit for purpose.
Yep, that's my feeling too. Personally speaking, I can't bring myself to go to MK Dons.
What happened to Wimbledon and their fans was simply hideous, and I'll never be able to put money over the counter there. It's also far to close to our current situation for comfort.
I appreciate others differ on this, including many of my friends, but I can't change - we just have to agree to differ.

However the consequence of their move appears to have been success, and fans going regardless.
The geography is very handy here as it emphasises that it is the principle rather than the distance that's the sticking point.
The geography is also handy for pointing out clubs can move further than us, for longer, and thrive.

I was referring to the relative distances of Northampton and MK from Coventry.
Just think how much greater distance between Northampton and Bristol there is, and how much more the point could have been hammered home
Could have been national, rather than local coverage.
As for thriving? I'd say the fact over 5,000 people with no connection to the place want to visit certainly shows it's thriving.

You're missing the point entirely: they are not Wimbledon. A "moved club" isn't thriving, they have an entirely new supporter base to Wimbledon and they are a new club.
Do you honestly think that there was ever any chance of getting similar (or even significant) numbers to go to Bristol?
Not while people are selfish and just want to watch their team
I honestly don't know tbf. Naturally you wouldn't get 5,000, and tbf I should have banged this drum somewhat earlier to seebut I reckon as a one-off to avoid would have been a start.
Attendance as much is gained by focussed action and message. Part of the problem with the hill is the message is so confused nobody really knew what the message was supposed to be. The danger with an MK message is it may send out a message to the fans that they want to go watch the side... but it might send out a very different message to other stakeholders. And this is kind of my problem with many messages, they seek to reaffirm what we as fans already know, and while this may have a place (action as opposed to inaction stops people giving up) the opportunioty to spread the message wider is sometimes lost. This, and the first day of the football league season, and Sheff Utd on the TV are the 3 ones that stand out for me as lost opportunities where there was a chance to get more than an aside mention.
The amount going to MK is vastly up on the amount going to Selhurst when I went1-0, David Thompson scored, diabolical game, Stewards watching 4(?) fans in a stand but refused to turn round to return the ball.
I don’t know why you have to analyse things so deeply and with such complexity.
