No people should be attending in numbers to show what value the team has in the community.

Boycotts never work. Take a look at Blackpool.

It will never happen. They may be valued but not enough for people to keep throwing money in.
This decline cannot be stopped while Sisu poison any hopes we have.

Not really. I'm just manic after a win and manic after a loss

We win Tuesday and I'll look on bright side of life again

I like to be a optimist at all times . So when my hope starts to go it's probably time to worry

exactly. For all the off field stuff going on ,nothing dictates the supporters mood more than the most recent result.

The boycott working or not depends on one thing. Are SISU struggling financially and if so how badly? If the rumours and conjecture on here have any truth to them a boycott could work. SISU might have to unload us as a necessity. At Blackpool I don't think that the Oystens are in this situation so can afford to sit back and enjoy laughing at the fanbase. I'm yet to be convinced that SISU are in the financial trouble that some have portrayed although I admit that there are signs there. If that picture did become clearer and you could see that they are I'd seriously consider a boycott. Until that point I'll keep attending.

30000? Consistently? Through thick and thin? I'd say more 15000 with potential of up to 30000 for big games/if team are doing well.

No, I split what you said in half, being realistic. For the club to grow, with or without SISU, at the Ricoh or Timbuctoo. They need regular numbers so to budget for the season and ideally be in a position to not sell players. Allowing consistency within the squad and a greater chance of success. Which in turn keeps people coming through the turnstiles. We're in a chicken and egg situation. We need fans through the door to give the manager more money for a competitive squad. People don't trust SISU to do that, which is understandable. At the same time, with hindsight, we don't seem to get managers who are great in the transfer market. Something has to give. Fans have to go in numbers or SISU sell the club. In the current state we're just plodding along, relying on luck more than judgement.

Is it just me, or are defeats not hurting anymore.

Followed the game today and just went 'meh!'

Not hurt me at all. Used to be every defeat feeling like a body blow and me left feeling down

Just a shrug of the shoulders at the moment for me and not a lot else.

Sign of things to come perhaps? That we all get so apathetic to it all that the club just frizzles away until it sinks into all but .
Click to expand...

Exactly, I suspect, as good number of us feel, after many years of caring as we have fallen through the divisions. Won't stop going but more than ever it about the social side of things now. We know the end game is coming, and probably sooner than we think.

I didn't say NOPM. I don't think that will get rid of SISU. If as people say, they are using the club to offset losses, why would the club making losses bother them? As people have said they will cut the budget, that affects the team. If they still make a loss, they don't mind as they use it to offset losses? I don't see where NOPM gets us.

Can't be bothered any more. Got a season ticket can't be bothered going to games anymore. Can't be bothered looking at results after been a fans for over 55 years... it counts for nothing... the club will be division four next season. I fear we could go lower still.... thanks for everything Sky Blues but enough is enough

I'm sad to hear that. Not even been alive for 55 years, but to hear that is depressing. I'd love to say stick with us, but can understand why you wouldn't. All I will say is that one day we wont be like this, and it will be all the sweeter to celebrate any success we may have.

No doubt its crap being a CCFC fan at the moment, but hasn't it always been the case ?

It will get beter

I still want to go up on Tuesday, but might not be back in time to make it.

Even though I am despondent and losing doesn't bother me anymore, I still want to go up in the hope that it will all get better one day soon.

Nothing it is right now, certainly not always the case. Yes multiple relegation escapes, but we always had a shout. Just look at some the great sides we've had. Tommy Hutch, Ian Wallace, George Hudson, Ronnie Rees, Terry Yorath, Oggy, Killer... the list goes on. None of the present squad can even tie the laces of the Mighty Sky Blues of years gone by. We always had hope now we have nothing but deparation.

Think I'll review things at the end of the season whichever division we are in, can't fork out £350 not so much for what's happening on the pitch the players are trying (which is worrying it's just they're not very good) but the whole charade around the club it's boring me to be honest.

We are not been entertained. The 'football' we are been offered is truly shocking. I just don't see a way forward right now. Owners won't list don't listen and don't care what hope do we have. Butts will be fine in League 2, idiots

I like it when Italia comes on here and tries to be subtle about following a successful rugby franchise over us. It's cute.

Poor bloke strives just for someone to turn round and tell him "it's ok."

Cringe.
