Just read on cov mad website fisher thinks the protest & boycott won't last and we will be back supporting them in Northampton after 3 games...
Thinks were weak by the sounds of it...

Tbh Nick I'm not totally sure I don't go on the site much just briefly cheaked it and seen the story...
he said something at the forums along the line of win a few games and everyone will come back I think (just going from memory). obviously that plan relies on actually winning some games which means stop shipping goals like it's going out of fashion.
think he's mistaken to be honest, we've had enough false dawns that a couple of wins isn't going to bring fans flooding back.

Look at the Crewe game as an example...
I am not saying EVERYBODY will give up and go, but if we start winning and get a few new faces people will give in and go.
I think that's a very cynical view of the world, I think in reality people are more principled.
I remember when he said that and to me it was like a red rag to a bull. It made me even more determined not to go.
Agreed. It's been a hideous ordeal to drag myself along for the past few season's: dragging myself all the way to Northampton because a team that doesn't feel like CCFC have won a couple of poxy L1 games against people who aren't actually good enough at football to justifiably draw a wage for it is about as enticing as gargling domestos whilst listening to Big Ron sing The Hits of The Rat-pack. We are not an enticing prospect, even with a few wins.
OK, so we start winning and get a chance to go to Wembley and play Crewe at the Ricoh and fill it out but the next league game and the one before when we were at home (in Coventry) the attendances were below half that...
It is just the truth, if we start winning and get success people will go. I'm not saying everybody will give up and go, just some...
I think a very low % of the people who aren't going (because of their principles) would suddenly start to go because of a few wins (because of...their principles!).
Because if we get more successful, more people will go. I'm not saying that thousands will flock to Sixfields like it is a Mecca, just that more people would go.
I am pretty sure if we drew Man Utd or Chelsea in a cup game at Sixfields there would be a struggle for tickets...
You're right Nick, there are people who will go to Sixfields now, there are people who will never go and there is a large portion who will go when they feel like it. Just like the Crewe game
Every one is entitled to go or not go, or change their minds
I will never step foot in Nortampton. No matter how well they are doing. We are shit btw. Harsh but true.
And to this point have a look at these facts the mighty SISU have created:
-10 points.
Played 2 lost 2.
Debt piling up.
Coventry not in Coventry.
Lowest crowds ever predicted.
Whichever way you look at it disaster is on the horizon with SISU in charge.
I would have Bryan Richardson over SISU and thats how bad they are!

The vast majority of people staying away on principle will continue regardless. Some of those are likely to have ummed and ahhed over the decision not to go so a bit of good form would be enough of a sway to bring them round. It's human nature.
No we won't.
You miss the point again.
We don't want to go because it is not in Coventry.
We don't won't to go because the future plans are a backward step and we will become a permanent league 1 side.
Stay longer than a few games and most will move on.
By saying that TF is basically saying Coventry fans are glory supporters.
I appreciate your point Nick about the Crewe game but as it has been said, we're one o the least successful (in terms of being in play-offs or finishing top 6) teams in the country in the last 50 years. That was a slight glimmer of hope in a dim existence as City fans!
However, that was before we were shipped out of Coventry! I can't see it! If we got a glamour tie in a cup then I'm sure it would be sold out - with neutrals and The big team's fans from Coventry!
Over the years the number of times I've gone to games that were full of Arsenal/Liverpool/Man Utd fans in the home end (without colours but from Cov) is just crazy!

Yea from the people who don't normally go, of course.
The hardened fans will not go.
Its not Coventry City it's Coventry Cobblers.
OSB58's calculation of cost for a season @ N'thampton, was accurate, i.e. anywhere between £690 & £960,
Fisher, imho, is undoubtedly the worst CEO to have ever been at this club,
his actions, along with the other buffoons, Dulieu, Brody, Igwe, Seppala, etc., means that a whole generation of fans will be lost,
yet he (Fisher), continues to trot out utter bilge,
if he believes what he is saying, there must be a case for questioning his validity for CEO,
sorry, but in my opinion he is that low, that;
'he could parachute from a snakes a*** & freefall half way to the ground'

I don't care if we're playing Barcelona in the 1st leg on the champions League Semi-Final...
I WON'T BE GOING !!!
I WON'T BE GOING !!!
I really hope nothing kicks off at sixfields apart from the match. We want our plight to be reported and sympathised with and a few idiots could overshadow this if they get a bit worked up.
