Is being planned.........fans to meet and protest by Jimmy Hill statue
I'm going to boycott that game......oh wait a minute I've been boycotting for some time now.
Your whole life?
Your whole life?
I will be attending the game, I think the reverse idea of filling the ground is better.
Can't see this getting much coverage "oh look 30,000 empty seats for a Coventry home game as opposed to 24,000."
Are you stalking me?
Thats the thing, the ground is empty every game. There was fuss made about West Ham, for a day or so.
A protest needs to be something different, outside of the box.
Exactly, said on another thread last night protest before at HT & FT in the ground but support the team more than ever during.
30,000 passionate & vocal fans would get the media/ social media attention as opposed to the mickey taking a boycott would gather.
No since we stopped winning last season!
Don't think it will take much in terms of persuading to get people to boycott Rochdale to be honest.Is being planned.........fans to meet and protest by Jimmy Hill statue
Frankly I do think that an actual boycott, not a "stay on the concourse for 10 minutes" or a "let's go to the game but protest next to Jimmy" type thing. Literally encourage people, for a one-off game, not to show up, even if they do have a ST.
Yes, we only had a 2k attendance in the cup that nobody cares about, and yes SISU will count ST holds within the gate even if they don't show up, but if we can show the Ricoh with 30,000+ empty seats, that will send a hell of a message.
Only for one game, and yes I do support the boys but at the moment i think that the best way to support them will be to encourage a change of ownership.
Agreed.I will be attending the game, I think the reverse idea of filling the ground is better.

how about everyone dresses up as below, and then we have a big banner saying "Stop treating us like Cnuts"
Ask Wasps if we can borrow the stadium for a Saturday afternoon when CCFC and Wasps are playing away and have a Sky Blues Trust vs Sky Blues Talk XI* match (*or anyone that's not divisive like Cov Utd would be) and fill the place. 32,000 watching a Fan group vs a Message board XI and being bigger than any League 1 gate for the day would be a far being news story than skipping a game. No-one misses a home match they've paid for, the only people inconvenienced are those who would have gone to the away game, it's not giving the money to SISU. Just got to get some sponsorship to cover any matchday costs! Set it a few weeks ahead so it gathers momentum etc etc
I don't get the reference to dressing up as half a strawberry?!how about everyone dresses up as below, and then we have a big banner saying "Stop treating us like Cnuts"
Surely we should try something different
Why not the reverse - Everyone attend Rochdale (28000+ in attendance) with T shirts, Banners, flags with the message "LOOK WHAT YOU CAN HAVE"
This is a strong message to any potential investor, showing Sisu that everyone is fed up of them, and it also has a positive effect on the team.
We should leave the "Sisu Out" chants until half time and make it loud and proud
Just a though
That's exactly the problem. You'll never get a total boycott so it won't gain any attention any further than the local area. Certainly not to the point of making SISU take notice.Can't see this getting much coverage "oh look 30,000 empty seats for a Coventry home game as opposed to 24,000."
Absolutely, we need them to understand the mettle of who their (sic) dealing with.Definitely keep the 'could of'
