I would continue to not give a penny, but at home unfortunately.
Regards to the free ticket, I would go in, but not buy anything in the ground.

So why would you go in if SISU went even if we were still at Northampton if the idea is to starve SISU out to bring us back to Coventry?

So if they blocked it off, you wouldn't go to the Hill?

So you wouldn't go in on a free ticket? :thinking about:

Unless there was a mass protest then no.
The hill allows me to cheer on and support the team, whilst nit giving a penny to Sisu.

As I said it's a tricky one...
For me it's about NOPM, so going into the ground for free would allow me to continue that.
BUT, then Sisu would have an extra number on their attendance which others would believe I have given sisu money to go into Sixfields.
So I can't give you an answer if I'm honest.

Peer pressure?
So is it safe to say the hill is not about protesting or making a stand it is watching the game?
I am surprised they haven't put something up so nobody can see, it is like a cinema having a glass wall so people could stand outside and watch the film.

I'm glad that people are finally starting to be honest about their motives for going to the hill. The breakdown seems to be:
On the hill: 50 or so
In the ground: 1500 or so
Boycotting: 9000 or so

The hill for me is to watch my team, whilst not giving a penny to Sisu.
At the same time I want us back in Coventry and at the same time I want Sisu Out.
It has nothing to do with money, or being a tramp by not paying.
I still join in with the Sisu Out chants on the hill though, so if that counts as protesting, then I protest too, whilst watching the game.

Torch, honestly, there was 100+ on the hill.

Not sure if you're being deliberately dense but....
If the Ricoh had burned down and the only ground that we could play our games in was Northampton, then I (and I guess, many others) would have no problem in going to Northampton to watch games.
If ACL had refused to allow CCFC to play at the Ricoh and the only ground that we could play our games in was Northampton, then I (and I guess, many others) would have no problem in going to Northampton to watch games.
The problem is that I believe that the dispute with ACL has been manufactured by SISU. I do not believe that "there is no alternative" to playing at Northampton.
So if someone took over the club, but (in this hypothetical case) couldn't move back to Coventry until next season, then I would be then be happy to go to Northampton.

To be fair, official Hill count at kick off was 132. When the rain eased off numbers started to increase and in second half a lot of locals came along, some Saints rfc fans, Hoffman and daughter and even a couple of Brentford fans who'd stayed overnight in Bradford after losing 4-0, called it at Northampton on way home and decided to join us! Last week was first time kcic tried anything organised and I was really pleased with numbers and attention we got for our message. But after last Sunday and yesterday in London I've had enough of protesting for this week so Sunday's lower key and will be lower numbers (although again to be fair, the very presence of the Sky Blue bus with Ricoh Arena on the side is a protest in itself!). Next big one is clearly Sheff u. To get people right the way round the hill from left to right is going to take 500-600 people but wouldn't like to say at this stage whether anything like that number will be up for it
