Boycott ticket sales (3 Viewers)

The problem with fan unity is that one side of the argument wants the other to change its mind and vice versa. "We will all have fan unity if you do what I say". It'll never work. You either need everyone to boycott or everyone to buy a ST and support the team. Obviously, never going to happen.
During our time at Sixfields I believed that everyone should have boycotted the move and therefore the club. That said I couldn't blame those that attended as they just wanted to see their club play.
It is time to unite behind the team and forget the owners, it is time to man up and be Coventry City fans again.

Not asking anything Astute, I just don't see any benefit in going over the past.
Like many clubs we speculated, the same speculation many are asking our owners to take now.
Most are asking them to be honest.

60% of transfer fees reinvested as promised?

We were told what breakeven was. We exceeded it. So it went up by thousands.

New ground?

Instead we get us supporters blamed for what goes wrong. Tell us the truth and maybe we can help in some way. Keep us in the dark and we get suspicious.

If you think we are down to the hardcore fans you not seen nothing yet wait till next season I thought I was 1 of those(going for 60 plus years+) but they have kill me just take a look at the season ticket thread I don't think I am alone.
Exactly - which is why this is an opportunity
to unite. Passive appeasement of these leeches gets us where?

Getting fed up of the boycott arguments to be honest. Not adding anything to our current situation. Why don't we just wait and see what happens come the start of next season, by then we will know the numbers and can have a meaningful debate.
But who is asking everyone to boycott just for the sake of it? People are giving reasons. And they are not because someone told them not to go.

The owners have once again missed an opportunity to appease the fans, instead the fans are crawling up the walls again and rightly so but if you want a club to support then I would like to see the alternative owners. No ground, no academy, div 2, debt to current owners huge. Not happening is it?

what is to be gained by going over something that happened a generation ago. We berate Sunderland fans but are we any different?
Surely it's what happens next that is crucial to our future not the accounts from 2002?
My take on Richardson is that he tried to take us to the top table as a club and the dice rolled against us with the tv deal and relegation and the stadium. I found him to passionate and engaging and visionary. All the things we accuse our owners of lacking.

Vision would be OK if moderated by some common sense.

Hindsight is a great thing, we can all see that Richardson was a dreamer but it's all in retrospect.
Common sense says back the team in my view, the alternative is to add your knive to the corpse of a club we say we support.

So your solution is to withdraw your support for the club you support? The only one you are encouraging to fuck off is yourself.....
I think you're right. This relegation changes everything and the club won't survive another one. NOPM hasn't worked and on balance the best strategy is to simply support our team, despite our revolting owners.

Fan unity is a pipe dream but I suggest this.

1st game of the season 32,000 sell out. Prove that the fans are there for CCFC even in league 2. Everyone who is against sisu turn up and support the team. 2nd game of the season 0 attendance.

If you want fan unity prove you're capable of achieving it by going against what you believe to be right first before you expect others to do the same.

Fan unity was achieved at Wembley - 10,000 more than the capacity of the Ricoh.

The 'loyal fan' has been rewarded by being taken out of Cov, two relegations and constant lies by management.

Unless masochism is your way I would break the cycle, try a different tack.

I'd be behind a boycott if I was given solid reasons and proof that SISU would sell... not liquidate.

All I see is when the income from tickets drops, so does the budget.

I'm gonna keep going and supporting the team, until someone shows me why I'm wrong
