I been umming and arring whether to go or not. I went to Orient midweek and was proud of the lads for their commitment. They deserve OUR support, so that is why I go to Sixfields tomorrow. I don't go for the owners. I don't go for the fans. I go for the team and MY team are playing, for a few seasons in Northampton. I pray things are sorted soon so we can go watch our team in Coventry where we belong. BUT thelads need us. SISU don't need us. ACL don't need us, or if they do they have a funny way of showing us. NO my choice is purely down to the team. PUSB

We will drive down from Derbyshire to Sixfields. My boys' love of the team comes before anything else. That's my priority.

Yes, we've been to all the English pre-season matches and to the Orient match. I don't accept the logic of staying away but respect your right to do as you will. I will not bow to rudeness or intolerance. We're going.
Utterly depressing we have people like this. You sound like the type of person who hangs off Greg Clarke's and Fishers every word. A few seasons in Northampton?!?! After all this time you still believe they are going to build a new stadium in or around Coventry when they ain't got the money and for which they will NEVER receive planning permission? Selfish short termists contributing funds to the assassins of Coventry City Football Club. I,for one, will never forgive...I been umming and arring whether to go or not.

It's my belief that if enough people go to Sixfields for it to be economically viable to SISU, they won't ever return Coventry City Football Club back to Coventry. With this in mind I cannot justify handing any money to SISU. When my son is old enough to go t home games, I want them to actually be in his home town.

Do people come on here and tell everybody there going and not expect a reaction?
Totally your choice of course. The logic though for me is that ACL need the club and the club need the Ricoh.
Because of the total impasse, we basically need both sides to fail. We need for Sisu not to be able to cope being at Northampton and for ACL to struggle without the club at the Ricoh.
Let's say for a moment that Sisu fully intend to build a new stadium. If we filled Sixfields every home game would that speed the process up or slow it down?
We need both sides to fail. Sisu need the Ricoh and the Ricoh needs the club.
Not going to Sixfields keeps the pot boiling and us in the media spotlight. 6,000 go to Sixfields every game and the result would be everyone turning away from our plight and believe we are sorted. There would no longer be any tv or media coverage because we had all relented and traveled 34 miles away. The longer an issue. Filling the groundshare stadium and a new stadium being built. That's the end of the story as far as they would be concerned. The FL too.
Stuff like having 10 times the amount of people flocking to the charity game instead of the league game is a total embarrassment for the club and the city and it keeps us in the limelight and our plight in the limelight.
We all go then we are just accepting that we will be playing in Northampton for at least the next 3 years and no outsides or governing body will be believe there is any plight.
Also having a franchise sporting club coming to the Ricoh would be equally bad for the City supporters. That would snuff out any chance of CCFC returning and would prolong our stay in Northampton.
I know Tim Fisher said 3 years, but most of I am sure believe that would be all but impossible. I think we'd be looking at 5 years.
Both sides need to fail to prove that they need other.
That is the logic.
They wont be your team for long. if they play well, they will be sold. Remember SISU only want your money. They will give you nothing in return. If they moved to Glasgow would you follow them. They make the rules, not you or the FL.I been umming and arring whether to go or not. I went to Orient midweek and was proud of the lads for their commitment.

...And this folks, is how it should be. All these morons whining that it would break their kids hearts to not go any more....Okay then morons, continue to assume your kids won't understand coz you can't be bothered to invest the time to explain to them why you shouldn't be going. The kids will be right fucked off after a couple of games anyhow, outnumbered by away fans in a 7000 capacity stadium not even half full. What a mouthwatering matchday experience in prospect.I have two young boys, who also wanted to go to Northampton & continue to support the team. They were really down when I said we would be leaving the Ricoh... we have had season tickets since it opened and going together has been our Saturday family time for years .. They thought we could simply continue that at sixfields.
I upset them by telling them this wouldn't be happening.. But they now understand the reasons why we won't be going and are fully behind the " stay away ".. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to make a stand , and not let others walk all over you.
As sad as the situation is, the one positive that im trying to take out of it.. Is that my kids are learning a life lesson in how to do the right thing...
