Never really in the running. Just speculative small offers. Sisu were the only really serious offer. I think my bid was also turned down

Yes they are supporting the move to northampton. They have to ask themselves "is it right ccfc are playing in northampton or should they be at the ricoh". They then have to ask themselves what am i doing about it?

Why should they be asking that?

No doubt given your inspirational user name you wanted a change of owner last season. So, weren't you asking that self same question yourself when you went?

If you've actually ever been to a game in your life that is.

If attendance indicates absolute and unequivocal approval, when people boycotted the first 15 mins of a cup game but then went in, did they only disapprove of the owners for those 15 minutes?

Also people chanting Sisu out whilst knowingly giving them money at the Ricoh, were they supporting them by purely being there? I'd personally say no, but if this isn't just an easy way to slag off the dwindling people still going they must have been.

The world is apparently black and white. I look forwsrd too seeing how he explains that one away. Going to the Ricoh and supporting SISU yet singing 'Sisu out', bit hypocritical eh?

So attendance is now purely about supporting the current location of the event and conveniently ignores the owners everybody hated at the time? Seems a bit arbitrary.

Ha! No they didn't know any difference. We didn't know we would be leaving Coventry, so that is a desperate excuse.

Money was being paid to SISU so all those who went to the Ricoh supported them.

The world isn't black and white, there is a line, the final straw you might call it.

Im not saying that those of you that go want to be playing at sixfields, but at the moment that is the most important issue surrounding the club. Therefore by attending you are unknowingly condoning the move.

Let me ask, what would it take for the 1500 to stop going?

No, they just wanted to watch their team play in Coventry. Is that so hard to grasp?

Why are you trying to justify your sixfields collapse? There's hypocrites then there's you.

Ooh im not supporting the move,i won't give them a penny while there at sixfields.

Ive met some two faced people in my time but you,you're up there with the worst of them.

Ive never got on with you but I had a bit of respect for your stance on not going,not anymore.

You're shallow as fuck fella.

No its about supporting our city. Not sure why that part is difficult to understand. What connection do I have with Northampton?

Can I just ask, whenever you've voted for a political party at an election, does that mean you agree with all of their policies?

i have never had hatred to sixfield regular goers but i gotta admit in the last 3-4 weeks its really getting to me not having the team in coventry and thus my hatred for sisu,council and northampton is increasing every day.

we should not be supporting the move.

Ill bet a lot of them going to sixfields aren't from cov so they have no affiliation with the city.

There happy to latch on to our football club though.

It's all hindsight though. When people were protesting the owners but still attending long before any relocation was mooted, I have trouble believing anyone was thinking 'silver lining, we're still at the Ricoh'. Up until this season I had a season ticket because I wanted to watch the team in spite of who was in charge, I don't think that meant I unwittingly supported their regime. The people still going obviously have a higher threshold of tolerance for travel and shitty facilities and whatever, but the idea that they're all evildoers rooting for the owners and bloody loving it miles away in the wilderness seems unfair and is both an easy and pointless target of vitriol.

When you vote you don't necessarily agree with all policies, and that logic surely extends to the people still attending matches. The question is if you don't agree with the policies, are you automatically supporting them with your vote anyway? I'd personally say no, but this may be where we differ.

I think you know that the move to Northampton was the catalyst for NOPM/Boycott of 'home' games. It was the line in the sand moment for the majority of Cov fans.

Dissatisfaction with Sisu's tenure has been abundant for over 2 years now,amongst a sizable portion of our fan base, however it was tolerated whilst playing at the Ricoh, the move made the majority vote with their wallets.

It doesn't help when certain sixfields goers come on here gloating.

We're all missing the team and they are not helping.

I couldn't agree more, although I think it's fairly obvious the main culprit is a bullshit artist probably popping a little erection with every post he makes.

I agree with your last line, I know no one wants to be playing there (accept maybe Rfc and Andreasb), but I believe that by going they are unwittingly supporting it.

Like I say its like supporting a political party. You vote for someone you broadly agree with, your never going to agree with everything. However then at some point that party may come out with a really extreme idea. Their extremism then defines them, and if you tell people your supporting them, your vote is taken as support for extremism.

To be fair a lot of it will be in response to people like yourself calling them scabs and scum etc.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Not every individual would interpret a vote as such, but there's a wider perception that probably would overall.

Or like Giving the Bankers who FFeffed everything over Circa £120billion freshly Printed £££££ instead of the Poulace who hold the Debt that instigates the Problem .
Then overstate the issue so you can implement your Ideology/Dogma .
Or Say for Instance when owning a Football Club that you won't pay but you have the money ,followed by "We're faced with a Catastrohic Insolvency ".
Followed with,we also need the Matchday revenues,followed by We need all the revenues .

It usually starts with when somebody posts about player ratings or them being at Sixfields and the usual crew start foaming at the mouth about how they are selfish etc.

You only seem to be capable of seeing this from one side, even defending WUM's like RFC.

You are a bit more bias towards SISU than ACL from your postings. IMHO

..... and as for defending that rascle RFC :thinking about:
