Well, that is to disregard the opinion of many that for the benefit of Ccfc it would be better if Sisu did one.

This isn't a random decision btw but based on five years of accumulated evidence.

In light of this "Not a Penny More" is logical, makes perfect sense and is based on wanting what is best for the club.

Oh Dear!
Some more "I don't give a damn what anybody does to who as long as I can sit in my seat at 3pm on Saturday and watch football".
Narrow-minded is what I call this attitude, better know as "Grenduffying" or "Doing a Grendel". Still, each to their own.

You do know, do you not, that there are indeed more important things in this world that being able to sit in your seat at 3pm on Saturday and watch football?

What is best for the club is supporting the players on the pitch, the reason people are coming up with this "Not a Penny More" rubbish has nothing to do with CCFC, it's to do with SISU, people don't want to line their pockets with cash, which I get but that is not supporting CCFC at all and is putting more strain on CCFC..

Seeing as the end goal of any boycott or protest is a successful football team, that whole 'there are more important things' line works incredibly well as an argument against doing that too.

Did I say I didn't look forward to it?
No, I did not. I stated quite simply that there are more important consideration in this world than football, and I stand by that.

Which in turn puts more pressure on the owners to leave and be replaced by people who have a clue.
After the last six years if you still think that these people are good for the club then you're either extremely stupid or extremely thick - you choose.

This is exactly the sort of attitude that has got Ccfc where it is today. Successive owners have been allowed to get away with murder in destroying our club whilst the fans do nothing.

If we are still at the Ricoh with sisu in charge then I won't be going, but I can understand those that who do still go. If we move out of the city then I couldn't give a toss what happens to the team as it will no longer be the club I have supported all my life. I will however actively encourage a boycott of sisu owned companies as they are the destroyers.

Many clubs have bad owners. Name one club where a fan protest made any difference to behaviour.

If SISU are still in charge for next season it will be....as it always has with them,(Championship)...Sell or let go decent players.................Relegation to
L1...let go 6 mediocre, low paid players, and bring in 8/9 shite, basic wage players........................This sounding familiar yet?:facepalm:

Went to a Wimbledon game at Selhurst park during the boycott and I think we outnumbered their fans (certainly felt like it). As an away fan it made for a great atmosphere as we were the only people making any noise. Managed to miss the first goal though thanks to being late, heard a roar from the stadium and realised that we must have just netted one.

Correct and people who do not do that every week (or any week in dadgads case) can not compare their views to those who do.

If they stay in Coventry ill be buying a season ticket the minute they are available.

Yeah, you are right, either it didn't happen or had no real affect. Attendances dropped dramatically when they got relegated then when permission was granted to move the club they all rightly decided to stop going. Nothing to do with any sort of boycott.

You best ask the administrator to change his official report then.

http://www.mkdsa.co.uk/index.php/dons-history/facts-of-the-move



Administrator stated the stay away fans led to financial disaster for WFC who lost £20,000 per day. *The decision to abandon WFC in favour of AFC Wimbledon had taken the club into administration.

How has the pressure worked out so far? Relegation, lowest ever attendances, no ground and all fans willing to boycott SISU are still trying to hold on, all that pressure is obviously doing a lot of good..

After the confirmed PERMANANT relocation. A boycott didn't affect any decisions before this. So a boycott either failed or didn't happen.

No, it would have speeded up what eventually happened.
And a 'boycott' after your club have moved 60 miles away PERMANANTLY is a no brainer.

I'm not saying anyway that the boycott stopped the move. Just that a boycott can drive owners out.

This is an unprecedented situation.
Sisu are clueless, have no ability in terms of running anything from a bath to a football club.
They want the few thousand of fans that are left to follow the club away from the city.
"Not one penny more" offers the true fan and supporter an opportunity to send out a clear message of disapproval for this plan.

But it is true, don't buy shirts or tickets if you wish, but there goes revenue which would be used to fund wages, rent agreement, financial input on playing staff.. etc

That's your choice, starving the club out of spite on SISU is wrong.
Click to expand...



What rent agreement?.......What financial input on playing staff?
4 years of paying for a ST....4 years of travelling 260 miles round trip to watch us play at the "Ricoh" as well as following the team all over the country....What happened to the money paid in by fans where did it go?....It certainly didn't go on good playing staff...It certainly didn't go on paying a legally binding Rent agreement did it!!!
I'll tell you where it went....SISU's arse pocket is where it went!
You can't starve CCFC when SISU have already killed it!
