Correct, sat on their arses at home on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon.
how elese are you going to protest with your feet and commit to NOPM? besides i've been decorating and listening on the radio when ican, not sitting on my arse.
If you feel that having no one attend Sixfields is the only way to "starve out" Sisu then the issue is how you persuade the 1500 who go there, not to go.
Unfortunately the minority who do go, actually appear to be enjoying going or at least making the best of a bad situation. There are also circa 500 season ticket holders already invested so not sure how they could be persuaded!
Therefore this approach is bound to failure - if you cant understand HOW or WHY people do attend sixfields (which the NOPMs cant) then how do you think you will be able to stop them? Now Im sure the numbers attending wil go up and down throughout the season depending on weather/team performance but those who are going have fought with their conscience pretty hard over this and will be even more loyal to the team - after all, SOMEONE has got to support them!
Much better to take a more pragmatic approach with the owners/ACL and keep the pressure up that way - looks like Les Reid/CWR are looking for valid spokespeople with a balanced approach who they can help get a foothold - again, that has to be a revitalised Trust doesnt it?
Also laughable is your view on protesting. You're rigut about SISU of course but that's the whole idea of protest, isn't it? Would the Tories have backed down over the Poll Tax without protest?
All this is a sign that boycotting is working. I thought you would be pleased.

Sorry I don't understand your post ?
I am pleased and the point i was making is that staying away nopm is working.
Working??? On what scale? Certainly not big enough to bring about the desired result...or are you like so many others, happy to let this whole thing drag on and on...??

Your stance would require every CCFC fan world wide to congregate on the hill every game,with nobody inside sixfields,
and nobody attending away games but the same protest outside.Even then it would not be a quick fix it would take time.
And it will not happen but softly softly catch's monkey. KCIC--NOPM
For many people that is because the fact that they have had to go inside means they will have handed over money to SISU - something a lot of people are unwilling to do whilst we are in Northampton for home games.I put in many posts it was my preferred protest but I don't have the power or knowledge to organise something like that, whereas other people on here do. The mass exodus was not loved by enough so I chose the hill option instead. As I have said before, disappointed with the weather and numbers up there but not the atmosphere.
And apparently far more money than Joy was offering before for the freehold.The only thing that will return us to the Ricoh is ACL and SISU, firstly talking to each other and secondly coming to an arrangement. All the protesting/boycotting in the world isn't going to make any difference. Might make us feel better and feel like we're doing something but it won't help. Only people can make it happen: Lucas and Seppala.
Another fine excuse to not get involved...sitting on the sidelines is not the way forward, but each to his own. Armchair critics tend to have little clot!

It's a great pity that so many put in so much effort to achieve what?
What's needed by all the so called 'protesters' is a complete re-think.
I'm fortunate that I'm able and can afford to attend Sixfields, yes it's a pain in terms of time and cost but I just want to support Steven Pressley and his exciting squad. Having said that I completely understand that many are for whatever reasons unable to get to Northampton but if you can, I'd urge you to attend as I'm enjoying my football and the style more than for the past 15 to 20 years!
Time to forget all the stupid politics and remember why we attended our first and then subsequent games whether that was at Highfield Road or The Ricoh!
I am not interested in ACL, CCC or SISU or what they have to say, do or don't do, just my team.
