Sure, first one is free!
:claping hands:
ITT people argue all protest is pointless unless a guaranteed outcome is known beforehand. Seriously.
I am not saying knowing 100%, but believing / being convinced it will.
What's the difference between knowing and being convinced?
I guess knowing would being 100%, I think if it was 100% that if nobody went to Sixfields we would move back, most wouldn't go (I wouldn't say all) but I certainly wouldn't.
Being convinced would make me now think "Actually, if I didn't go I think it might get us back quicker".
If I had a business that had to move because of a falling out with the owners of the property was in (not going into blame) and had to move, I would have tried my best to persuade loyal customers (which I don't think SISU did), consult them or try my very best (which I don't think they did either) to make the move a bit better and facilitate. It depends what my store was selling, I would try and offer free delivery if possible over the phone or internet or even drop them off myself / hire a delivery man. I would start advertising where I moved to to try and get new customers through the doors as well as keeping in contact with the old customers as much as possible (they are loyal, they need looking after, If the situation really is the only option then I would have to make the best out of a bad situation until I can find another shop to rent).
I probably wouldn't have bought the business in the first place though in all honesty.
WTF? I didn’t think I’d get a straight answer to the question, just like a politician.
To convince you, you asked if someone could explain to you why boycotting games would help CCFC in the long run and I gave you my explanation. All this blurb you’ve come out with wasn’t asked for and has no relevance or bearing on the theme of this thread and in particular the explanation I gave to you as to why complete non-attendance at Sixfields may be the most powerful form of protest and perhaps the only way to influence a return to Coventry.
So, without all the BS Nick, is my explanation enough to convince you? If not why not?
You asked me about my business and what I would do. I gave you an answer.
No, what you have said isn't enough to convince me as it would be too easy and I don't think anything with SISU will ever be that simple. We have no idea what is going on in their head.
So lets get this right. Are you suggesting that SISU would continue to play games at Sixfields if not a single Coventry supporter went through the turnstiles ever? No home fans at all? Seriously?

Or they could just pull the plug?
I doubt the ticket income from the 1500 or so fans is even paying 2 or 3 of the players anyway is it?
Fuck me have you got some sort of mental impediment? Just answer a simple fucking question will you?
My analogy on this is akin to the Titanic. The crew(CCFC fans who want to try anything to help) are trying their level best to bale water, break out the lifeboats, while the passengers(Nick, RFC, AndreasB, Torchy, Grenduffy, etc,etc, Because they have paid good money for the cruise ie:- pay to go to Sixfields) Sit and watch the orchestra play while the ship sinks. FFS at least try and do something.
Who would have died happiest? They did all die didn't they?
No they didn't all die. Some heroic stories from the reports at the time. Get to the museum in Southamoton and have a look, it also details how the sinking deeply affected the local community.
@ Nick....Are you for real or what?....You really do need educating don't you!
and we used to have fight
remember the saying "if the titanic was sky blue"
In which case, I am wrong and yes the people watching the orchestra were in the wrong (unless they were among the survivors).
Sorry!
I am not saying knowing 100%, but believing / being convinced it will.
If the Titanic was painted Sky Blue it would be harboured in Northampton*!!! LOL! LOVE IT!!!
(*Disclaimer: This is only a joke and I in no way condone the actions of Sisu that have meant CCFC now plays its 'home' games at Sixfields**.)
(**In Northampton.)

CCC the iceberg?
As above, my apologies for being wrong!
But Brian! Northampton is landlocked! DOH!
It is, but you can get te coast via the Grand Union canal and the River Nene navigation - or am I taking this too literally :thinking about:
Feel free to punch me if you want.Side of the head? What will that achieve?
I am also against the move to Sixfields, but I am also being realistic. It isn't pouring of cold water is it? It is just facing the facts that sadly there is nothing we can do. Still, nobody has tried to convince why people shouldn't go and what it would change, other than what they think?
It depends on returning to the high street I guess, if there is only the option of one premise and the owners had been overcharging me then it would put me in a rock and hard place. If there were plenty of stores and owners for me to choose from it would be a lot easier, wouldn't it?
