Last night's WHY/WHEN demo was very moving...even those I watched with, who are not really football fans, felt so. So can this be continued at Sixfields? It's really asking so little for those who attend games in Northampton, to take with them in their bag, that simple question, and hold it up again at given moments. So easy...and it could make such a difference....at every game maybe, home and away even? It's a thought!

They would have to be timed just right though.

You wouldn't want 'why?' going up just after Leon Clarke has missed a sitter, or 'when?' if we have been played 87 minutes and have failed to score.

Yes but....you know what I'm saying Otis...I'm talking about momentum.

Don't think you could have 'momentum' up on sheets of paper either, most people wouldn't even be able to spell it.

More importantly it would help reunite our fan base.

The biggest gripe I have with the people who attend sixfield is that they're silent witnesses. It's almost like they want the club to be there. Which I'm sure can't be true but it would be nice if they could show it.

Lets get those big banners that were at the Emirates last night into Sixfields.

I still don't think a full scale full house protest is right at the moment. But what do people think about Wolves last home game of the season? Fill the place, and the hill with fans. Sing for 90 minutes. Do something similar to WHY WHEN, maybe even refuse to leave until we get Fisher out. If things aren't sorted by then, it's our last chance before a long period when something could happen, then it's locked in for another season.

What do people think?

There's pretty much only Walsall next (which is probably a bit soon) then Wolves in terms of "big" teams. Other than that we've got this lot left:

- Bradford
- Carlisle - Tuesday Night
- Shrewsbury
- Port Vale
- Stevenage - Wednesday Night
- MK Dons - A possibility considering they're our local derby now. And one of the few Saturday games.
- Swindon - Easter Game (possibility, but good luck getting no-one to turn up to Wolves the next game and last of the season)

Wolves is likely to get a bigger gate anyway, may as well hijack it for a protest. Maybe confirming it as a protest game early would make it easier for some to hold out knowing there was a chance to protest coming.

They have forgot how to sing in Sixfields and from the comments on here you would not be welcome if you make a noise.

Obviously the reason it went so well last night was due to us being a stand alone TV game where the media were primed. Very effective and a fortuitous by product of something that initially Irked us.

Last night we all showed a united front, I agree we should take this further together.
My thoughts are the vast majority of fans agree that no one group is 100% to blame but we must put pressure on SISU, CCC and Football League to sort this out.
Let's keep the momentum going.

Think Notts County away is the next obvious one. Looks like it's going to be a good away following and we're getting a good reputation for solidarity away from home.

Are you saying all the attendees last night from Sixfields just keep quiet?

I'm waiting for Nick to pipe saying "why don't YOU make the effort to take them and protest!!!!!!"
"how dare you tell others what to do and think"

Apparently we sold out our initial allocation for Orient on Tuesday so that's a good opportunity too. We'll still be in the spotlight a bit from Friday and it being a London game there may well be some press along to follow up.

Hope those with banners are coming down and plan to bring the banners with them

What nonsense. You're good at making stuff up it seems.

Cant do it the fire certificates that covered our paper banners at Arsenal are not valid for Sixfields.

If so, can't you get new ones? Or do the club have to agree?

I'm sure that TF would see to it that banners made from asbestos couldn't get a fire certificate at Sixfields.
