Still get the your ground's too big for you chants, mind.

I'd had enough just before they signed Mowbray up, that felt like they finally meant business so I stuck with it. After last season didn't pan out it feels like everybody has given up, so as it stands I'm not renewing. Not as part of a protest or boycott, more a personal apathy.

Prepare for a like and a "spot on!" From Bob

I'm really only doing it to see if I'm still blocked by him

They won't be carrying any can, they will just cut the budgets to suit.

If 500 - 700 people don't renew for example, they just cut the wage budget to cover it. Rinse and repeat each year.

How many times have we heard "if this happens sisu will go".

Very true Nick. But while there are people like you that keep buying ST's, we'll never know will we!

With all of us not renewing next season it sounds like nick and grendell will be able to sit next to each other and embrace the sisu way

It's a question of if you still want to support the team - in spite of the sisu way - or just give up and hide behind a slogan.

Or stand up to them and say no more. Ill still suport the team as will most but weve tried everything els and sisu are laughing at us taking money on false promises, no comittement or will to make the club a success. For me and many others enough is enough

At what point do people realise Sisu are taking the piss? Forget the slogan I'll just check the result in the papers.
If necessary It sounds better on the radio. "They may be 3 down but if we get 1 back we could pull this around" or perhaps "There could be a chance here" as we cross the halfway line.
Add with the heightened voice and you could be listening to Barcelona.

Great if you can carry on supporting but if this continues I'm not attending.

When you pick up a tin of Quality Street, you expect chocolate, not knitting material. You know where I'm going with this...

I can only guess so really. There's no other substance to them.

I don't think there's many who don't realise it already.
Still hard to give up on the team you supported long before they rolled into town.
Will they just carry on cutting if people don't but STs?
Some people think so, some think they'll walk, none of us really know there intentions, I don't think they do long term.

OK! So you DON'T buy ST's then Nick?

The key to anything successful would for it to be :

Tried and Tested.

Nothing can be proven until otherwise.

Fill the ground then. See what that does - may increase the budget massively.

Sorry but the team was different when they rolled into town, this is where people get confused. Players come and go, they're not here to appease us, especially the shower of shit I witnessed yesterday. No-one is deserting the club, the team however for the time being can be deserted, fuck them, I want the club back.

What type of club do we all want, do we want a club with fans that have no fight?

Did last year not convince you that it won't?

Let me guess, they got the break even figure wrong?

(Insert facepalm picture of Patrick Stewart here)

The ground wasn't full.was it?

Everyone will make up their own mind whether to buy a ST or not. There is no need for any mass boycott. I expect sales to naturally drop by attrition unless there is some dramatic change in our fortunes.

I do, should I expect another sixfields situation then?

It's just I'm going to support the club I have since birth, you are going to sit at home frothing along with Bob and will throw digs at people "like me".

I guess nobody is going to put forward a good,.logical case for a boycott then?

You saying we had poor crowds all last year compared to other seasons? they were breaking over earlier predictions of break even weren't they? Until conveniently changing that.


Grendal wanting the stadium full in hope that budgets get increased have proven never to be truthful have they? show proof that increasing attendances have brought in more player investment.

Last season the crowds averaged around 12,000 and the pricing policy was very favourable to encourage attendees. As a consequence the revenue was poor. So there is no evidence either way.

I have on page two/three.

We might not have filled the stadium last year, but the attendances were up. You would have to be naive if you think that extra revenue would go towards the playing budget. The 'we got the breakeven numbers wrong' should set alarm bells ringing straight away.

A boycott would not work if only 1000 people did it. It would have to be a 90%+ cull to be effective. They could still run the club on a shoestring budget with a couple of thousand supporters, but it simply would not be viable if there were a matter of hundreds there.

If they aren't making profit, if they are not breaking even, but if they are making heavy losses, they would have to get out. Yes, liquidation is a risk, but they'll be better off taking an offer for £1.

It is a realistic stab at getting sisu out, but it would have to be done properly.
