Actually it was because it was on the telly and a few pennies more were spent in the pub.
Thats it grendel slag off fellow fans yet again, isn't it personal choice how they spend their money. What about the Scunny home game a few weeks later when there was only 6,800 there but it wasn't on live TV. At least the empty stadiums would help remind you of the great times at Sixfields.
You were slagging off the fans who preferred to watch our 3-0 defeat in the pub rather than going to the Ricoh
Yeah. Why not. If I decided to watch the game in the pub and not go to the game I'd take the slagging off I deserve and not be a whiny little bitch.
The stadium was so empty that night you would be slagging off a lot of fans, it seem on this board that its all the fan's fault for our recent low attendances.
The fans forgot about who owned us when we played Gillingham then? Easy mistake I guess.
So it's nothing to do with the owners it's that people will just go if we are winning?Yes good point but they remembered the following week when only 11,000 turned up, gillingham was a one-off but the point as I've stated earlier is the stay away fans aren't a NOPM stance, the poor quality of football, the lack of ST sales last season, the WASPS getting the stadium, SISU concentrating their efforts on court cases, Sixfields meant fans got out of the habit of going to football on alternate weekends etc... if we are in the top top 6 at Xmas expect 20,000 crowds at the Ricoh over the festive period, they will still know who the owners are.
So it's nothing to do with the owners it's that people will just go if we are winning?
Its everything to do with the owners.
Northampton - a disaster, drove fans away from the club broke their loyalty to the club, ST sales are poor despite being cheap and the appointment of a great manager, many of the fans will only return if we are winning and if we have a slump like last season expect more 6,000 crowds. Under better owners I believe with the same results our crowds would be better.
But you just said if we are winning people will go?
I'm not dismissing, just trying to work out the mentality of it.
When would I slag off the 6,800 people who went to that game? They were the only fans that night.
So how can you make a judgement - you need all the facts don't you?
I thought it was because of the owners not because of results? Turns out it's just another excuse.Is it not the same at every team in the world?
Or do you believe it is only the Stupid people of Coventry that are like this?
By disputing Grendel you are
I thought it was because of the owners not because of results? Turns out it's just another excuse.
But you just said if we are winning people will go?
What about if the reasons like not wanting to give sisu money or them taking loads of money out etc aren't true?It's a lot of things that are keeping people away Nick and you know it is so don't pretend otherwise.
We know people who were regular's and occasional 's who no longer go whether that be friends or just familiar faces in the crowd who you might have a quick conversation with because they sit near where you like to sit or you always seem to bump into them while queuing for food and/or beer.
Some are results driven, some are because of the contempt or owners have consistently shown us and for others it's a combination. Sixfields is a big part of that equation for some, the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. Will results be enough to win some back? Undoubtedly! But not for all.
From what LAST has just said about this guy, I don't know for sure but I suspect I might know who he is from what LAST said. If it is who I think it could be he is indeed a familiar face to me who I recognised from HR days and got chatting to on a visit to the hill and spoke to fairly regularly last season. Again if it is the guy I'm thinking of to suggest he's not a fan is probably the most moronic thing Grendull has ever said, even if it's not him it's still moronic as he's pretty typical of the fans that are staying away in my experience and to suggest that they can fuck of and we don't need them is equally moronic. We need all the fans we can get through the doors the same as any other club and to just dismiss the ones who are turning their backs rather than address the reasons they've done it is ignorant to the facts and counter productive.
No I'm not. He can come back to me and question what I've got to say about /to him at any point. If I took an add out in the CT that said Grendull is a twat you may have a point.
I think he means by disputing Grendel you are actually passing judgement on that chap on the radio by default. Not passing judgement on Grendel. I could be wrong but I doubt it.
I can't quite understand the point of phoning up to tell everyone you won't or don't go. It's bordering on attention seeking.
It's like writing a review on TripAdvisor for a holiday you never went on.
Is nasal Nigel "Sydney Sky Blue"?
Why waste air time on that clown
Talking of time wasting why did you start a thread Time to bury the Hatchet.
You obviously didn't believe it as you still attack anyone who is not in your camp.
The purpose of that was regarding forgetting ownership issues and try and focus on football and the season ahead.
Yes he obviously is s supporter of the club and I apologise for that.
However, I fail to see any motivation to engage on a football phone in to say don't go and watch the team and supply any income unless their is some end game. If they find it boring and lost interest of course that's different. However, to claim moral high ground that is what is annoying.
As for criticising fans every time that Ian guy called in a couple of years ago the abuse he received on here was borderline harassment.
Actually according to Wingy it's not the Nigel we thought it was so apologises to that Nigel as well.
Two apologies in a row. If I do a third you can report this account for being hacked.
