After supporting the club for over 50 years (which includes a 200 mile round trip) I do not need you to tell me anything. I have bought a ticket for the match at Northampton. I know exactly what Sisu are all about they have totally destroyed my club and are managing to set us supporters against each other

take off the players and others wages,plus buying the pies,paying policing and their rent
how much is left

Well the pies will be sold on a sliding scale in relation to the size of the crowd. So 1000 pies at approx 500 quid a piece will mean a spectacular profit of 500,000 less costs. There are some right fast fuckers from Bristol who will eat more than one pie. Fishers scheme is fucking genius

They have not destroyed the club yet, but with your help they will.

I have been an emotional wreck for months trying to work out what to do for the best. I'm lost without my Sky Blues

I should stress that 'this kind of shit' refers to the posts accusing you of helping kill the club rather than yours, you just slipped that post in a few seconds before mine.

Jan87, I get why you feel the need to go.
I believe that the nopm campaign is the best way to force or owners hand and would urge you to reconsider.
However if you are intent on attending then please ensure that your presence at the ground is used to demonstrate your displeasure at the way us fans are being treated and abused.

I know I was replying to Italiahorse. I'm signing off as it is too upsetting to carry on at the moment

Don't you think we all are FFS?! I am absolutely devastated that on matchdays I now have nothing to look forward to. After my children, CCFC is my life (pathetic as that sounds), and thanks to SISU I know spend Saturday (or Sunday...) afternoons feeling numb.

Felt utterly devastated on Tuesday when Baker scored that I wasn't jumping around the room like I normally am, hated that when Orient scored the winner I felt nothing. I wanted to feel the disappointent that I have felt every single time we've lost over the last 30 years.

When SISU go we get our club back. We have to stand together as one. NO City supporter should be anywhere near Sixfields for our 'home' games. If literally no City fans turned up to any of these games, coupled with continuing properly organised protests, the mounting pressure from the media would surely enforce a change. It has to, its the only hope we have.

The 500 season tickets include all corp sales and the freebies the club give out to sponsors/suppliers. The true figure sold to fans is less.

its catch 22, no income coming in from lack of supporters so what will they do?? Sell Baker, Murphy and Clarke to cut wage bill. This then basically confirms our relegation. Will they sell at that point, i doubt it sadly....

A suggestion for the faithful to sing at Sixfields (to the tune of Yellow Submarine)

In the town where I was born,
Lived a man who failed to see,
And he told us of the lies,
In the land of SISU dreams

So we all went on the run,
Till we found a field of green,
And we called it our new home,
In our wacko SISU dream

We all live in a wacko SISU dream,
etc.

They couldn't care less whether or not we have a competitive team, they couldn't care less where it plays either. What they care about is distressing the finances of the stadium management company and upsetting the existing contracts they have with F & B suppliers and other sponsors etc. They are recklessly prepared now to lose even more money in an attempt to grab that chunk of CV6 for next to nothing, either that of course or they are happy to wait for someone to buy the 'club' from them and reunite it with the Ricoh.

to be honest I would pay to watch the legends every week at the ricoh (not that most of them could play every week) rather than pay one penny to watch SISU FC at Northampton!

The disappointing (and worrying) thing is that on the assumption that there will be more sales between now and kick-off the final figure may get close to the 3000 that Timmy / SISU said they expected. This in turn will give them a little more credence and enable them to say "We told you so..." and "Everythings on track..."

I was (perhaps naively) hoping that there would be fewer than 600 "home" supporters but it looks like its likely to be 1000+ and it will increase for the next "home" game

Abuse directed at those who are going - even those on this site who appear to revel in the fact that they are bucking the trend - is pathetic and pointless but the only weapon or bargaining tool left is withdrawal of financial support for those who are actively opposed to SISU and their "plans". Some people will continue to go simply because they cannot bring themselves not to and they will not be dissuaded. There are undoubtedly a few who will wholeheartedly support what SISU are doing. They will not be dissuaded either. There must be a number however who either don't know, don't understand or don't care about what is happening (not every supporter reads the CET or subscribes to a forum) and it is to these people that efforts should be concentrated. Just as an election is determined not by those who are set in their voting ways but by the floating voters so those of us opposed to all of this should get to work on ensuring that any friends / family / work colleagues who are wavering stay away. Give up on those that are going anyway and try to help keep crowds down to 1500 or less.

We should not give any abuse to the few who go to Northampton, we should try and talk to them individually or collectively and explain to them that by supporting SISU they are hurting the team/club.
I would like to believe that most of those going actually want the club back In Coventry, but by going all they are doing is giving fuel to Tim Fisher to pass onto the FL and others.

As supporters wew should stick together, be strong and rather than shout abuse at the few who go, we must try and talk to them to explain the error of there ways.

That's a bit rich from someone who has consistently derided anyone who has had a differing opinion from you!

City will lose games because of the fragility of the squad and numbers will fall and not every team will bring 500 plus like Bristol. The numbers will be hideous when winter approaches and we are still in the relegation zone !
