Erm.... We don't want SISU to continue with the club. Have we not mentioned that??
If you don't go you'll feel you've lost that support. Also if Sisu see it as a failure and that fans won't go they'll probably turn it on you lot anyway and decide that you don't care enough about your team so why should they continue with the club.
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...
From the OP 2 weeks ago:
"I, for one, have been blind to the feelings of most CCFC fans. We are a reserved lot and it's only when the chips are down do we actually see the City's character. I do understand SISU's frustration at wanting to make something on match days and believing having OUR own ground as being the only option. BUT, as we see today the fans have spoken. If SISU want to take the club forward they must cooperate with the fans and other interested parties in the city. We should work together but sadly I don't think Joy is aware. or even cares, the fans true feeling. I was going to buy a season ticket at Sixfields but NOW I WON'T. Mr. Fisher, you are a businessman not a child and the time is now rife to do something positive. So sort out the rent issue and move our club forward IN OUR CITY"
Their either on the wind up or know their doing wrong and feel the need to justify their decision.
So all you kids out there, don't let Mummy or Daddy tell you not stop, look and listen before crossing the road, as this would be them making your mind up for you....So what you are actually saying is you have made your kids mind up for them. And the life lesson is that they do not have the right to make any decisions of there own. Well put. Hope they grow up knowing that this is always the case when people disagree.
As previously stated by more than one person on here, surely we all can make our own mind up as to what we want to do and not be chastised for making a decision others disagree with. My son supports the city and has been a season ticket holder since he was 5 and was on the end of an era DVD when they left highfield road. He has said he wants to support his team so I will honour what he wants. Call me what you want but at least I am not a sheep and following so called supporters just because they are worried that they will be called names or put down .
...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.
Great post & parenting btw.

The only disgrace on this thread is you, SK.

I won't have a go at anyone for going, but your logic there is twisted.
We make our kids' minds up for them every day. We chose what we feel is best for them, be it swimming lessons or learning to play the guitar, which schools they should go to, what subjects they should concentrate on, whether you point them in the way of religion or not, who they should and shouldn't associate with in friendship etc.etc.etc.
They are children we are adults and it is our job to help them make the right decisions.
I have a female friend who has just lost her kids through the court. They are 10 and 8. They want to be with their mother but that decision has been made for them.
The point with Northampton is that it isn't just the kids' choice because it involves the parent with them, for transport and the parents consideration is obviously a massive factor too.
You can't just go somewhere because your kids want to go. You try and help children make the right choice in life and guide them as best you can.
Otis, I agree with on a lot of what you say, sorry to hear your friend has lost her kids, that's courts for you.
The one thing I disagree with is I do not choose who my children want to support, my son can choose whoever he likes to support and he chose Coventry, not because I told him too. Again I will not stop him from watching them if that's what he wants to do, he is nearly 14 and I believe he should be making his own mind up not to be forced into it by parents.
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

What a fucking dickhead.
If my daughter when she's older wants to be a Tory MP then that's of course up to her, but no way would I take her to a party conference.

Errmm maybe you misread the part where I said they understood the reasons for not going, once I'd explained them , and that they were now fully behind the "stay away"
But even if you did choose to ignore that part... To suit your own argument.. I would still say this. Do you let your children go outt playing till whatever time they want? Do you let them eat sweets whenever they want ? Maybe your " kids" are older than mine & those decisions ARE his to make.. Mine are too young to make those kind of decisions, so yes I make those decisions for them in some cases ( not all ) they are 7 and 10 , so certainly not old enough to be rolling over to Northampton on their own
Did you explain that there are more than one side in this argument and all sides are to blame however you wish to apportion the blame. Are you taking them to the Ricoh on Sunday?? To a supposed charity match of which only profits will be going to charity not all monies. Therefore lining ACL's pockets who obviously over the last couple of days have shown they really do not want CCFC back.
Yes my son is 14 and I will take him to Sixfields because he asked politely and that's what he wants to do.
Is that why people come on here and say they are not going as well?

They won't have a team to support much longer thanks to people like you.
Nopm.
Don't waste your time talking rubbish trying to justify yourself to us your weak minded all your doing along with the rest is keeping here SISU longer than they would be had you and the rest stuck to the boycott make of it what you will...
Your selling Coventry out
AT LEAST Five more years, probably never coming back. You give 'fecking idiots' a bad name. Disgrace.
Thanks for you're contribution to removing the "SKY BLUES" from Coventry forever.
KEEP COV IN COV
We will drive down from Derbyshire to Sixfields. My boys' love of the team comes before anything else. That's my priority.
Well whatever you do ,don't hold you breath waiting.I did a bit of soul searching myself over the summer. I've decided not to go to Northampton, bit I will reassess my position only when I see evidence of a new stadium being built in the Coventry area.
stop using them as pawns in a moral battle
