This isn't an insult or a dig at anyone who goes to a game (I don't agree with that but its an individuals choice), but do you believe its morally wrong for Coventry City to be playing their games in Northampton?
Love how those who hate the move to Northampton so much go to every bloody game.
It is not a protest. It is a meeting point for tramps who don't want to pay. If ricoh has an overlooking hill these guys would be there too.

Yes- with an empty stadium, perfectly fit for purpose, subject to a renegotiated rent agreement awaiting use. I personally find it morally abhorrent. But we all make choices for different reasons.

Not sure I noticed that one, if its there again next week I will request its removed.
Steve he has been there every week, people keep saying that they respect other peoples points of view so respect his.
I will be there this week and feel that if he is asked to remove his banner it will make us no better then the Rapid response crews we have to put up with at various Football grounds.
We are not the police and if it has upset some people then tough, I am upset with my team playing in Northampton and nobody cares so why should he?

Agreed the man deserves his freedom of speech. I appreciate the Trust are in an awkward position, but that banner actually represents a fair portion of our support's position
...because it targets the wrong people, and sends out a message contrary to the OP.
If I wanted to make up a fake account to encourage fans to attend Northampton what would I call it...
...probably covcity4life.
If it diverts from the main message, then it's counter-productive.
The same as going and holding a banner saying TRAMPS STAND ON THE HILL wouldn't be over-constructive.
But the guy is stood on public land, and is a free citizen.
What right have any of us to ask what banners he can or cant have?

As I said, depends if you want people coming up with banners saying True Sky Blues Support Sixfields. (and yep, I'd call them a dickhead if any do come and do that - the same as the person who said they hoped we stayed in Northampton was a dickhead)
You want a message to be effective, it's best to have it focussed.
You want a message to be inclusive, it's best to have it focussed.
You want everybody to join together after all this? It's best to have it focussed.
I'm not saying I would encourage that banner, I'm just saying you, me or the trust have no right to ask him not to bring it.
Just the same if someone going in the ground had a banner saying the opposite, I would completely disagree with its content, but I would always defend his right to express his opinion. Especially whilst on public land.
Don't play the victims lads. You know full well that if it was a nearby hill that offered no view of the pitch it wouldn't be used to protest.
Ccfc not in Cov is atrocious, I am just saying what I think.
Week 1 it was a protest, now its just a new form of season ticket

By that logic, the numpty that booed the fans coming out the ground shouldn't have been told to shut it.
Free speach is all very well, but you want to send a message, you have to try to be as clear in the message as possible.
Else it becomes a rabble and anarchy.
Can't forcibly take his sodding banner off him, but can point this out to him!
Some very disappointing comments from you tonight.
Calling me a tramp?
I decided not to go into sixfields as I think it is wrong, therefore the only way to watch my team is on the hill.
I'd go inside every week to watch Coventry play if the reason was that the Ricoh was burnt down.
Absolute rubbish if we did not protest then Sisu have won saying look no one cares.
Sorry but unlike you I do care where my team play.
If your talking about someone explaining reasons to him as to why it would be better for him not to have it, then I don't have a problem with that.
Of course it wouldn't be used to protest?? Why would it??
I go to Sixfields hill as I want to watch my football team without giving our disgraceful owners a penny of my money.
To me that is not an example of a tramp.

Think that's out of order. We had a wide range of supporters on the hill, including children and ladies. It's a statement, a protest and on that occasion a picnic.
It' was a family event for these who believe that its wrong for the team they love is playing out of our City.
To me the miles, the cost, the travel time does not matter, its morally wrong.
Do not want to insult those who go in, but the fans on the hill are not as weak as some.
Call me weak again. I came straight up the hill on my way out and the few people pointing and laughing suddenly became friendly and jovial.
