We need the elevate the status of this club, put it back where it belongs as TM suggested. The only way to do that is to get promoted! Marching is good, but to not turn up and let the team see their support on the terraces is the wrong way to go. The sooner we get out of this division the better, and we can do our bit by showing support for the team on the day. sisu couldn't give a toss about any of it, they are a total waste!. The union which should be there for all to see is between the players and the fans...so we shouldn't let them down...they need us, and we for sure need them to support as many of us have been doing for many years. I couldn't bring myself to go to Northampton, that was a step too far, but now we are in the Ricoh, on shaky ground for sure, but let's not make things tougher for the players than it is already. We should be filling the Ricoh if we really care, and forget about sisu...they already rent way too much space in our heads. We can at least evict them from our thoughts if nothing else! PUSB and roll on Saturday!!

If SISU don't give a toss, then how are you expecting this magic promotion?

I'm not expecting it, only a miracle will see us gain promotion...

We've not finished in the top 6 for how long? Why expect promotion?

I work in the entertainment industry and I know that a full house is guaranteed to bring out the best in me. Can't imagine it's any different for the players!

If you don't give you best even with a smaller crowd then you are in the wrong business.

I genuinely believe that full houses bring the best out of teams. Also unwavering support, not booing or exasperated gasps all round... during my time supporting City, I have seen the (understandably) fickle supporters knock the confidence of many players in Sky Blue. Although we suffer without success of any kind for decades, a promotion push would need a new dawn, a new club owner, a new manager and a clear vision of where we need to be. Operation Premiership etc.... was a non starter, Aaron Gunnarson pointing to the sky in front of the naughty corner was a deluded mistake... We need a clear, public, obvious plan to push the Club back up into the Championship, we ARE too big for League One, but our owners have League Two ambitions. Sadly we have nothing to sell, and prospective "buyers" know that. It is a never ending spiral of doom, and bleeding Sisu dry may be the only way, I'm not a NOPM fan, but I do understand the logic. If no one turns up, no one buys a shirt/merchandise or heaven forbid a season ticket (on finance obvs) we may see Sisu exit the building. A test of nerve is needed, and my instinct is the fans are not united enought to boycott altogether. PUSB.

A predictable response if you look to blame rather than see what you can do to help...

Each person will make their own individual decision whether to go or not. There are many reasons for not going other than a boycott. Most fans that stopped going did not do it because of any boycott, they stopped going because attending is not cheap, and the product on the pitch was too often woeful. It may have improved over the last couple of games, but it will take a lot more than that to lure the crowds back.
