I know your joking, but in all honesty are there really still that many NOPM, I know thousands HaveI think city should pick a game to offer tickets for just 1p to all the people on social media who claim to be NOPM with the proviso that they send in proof that they've posted on twitter, FB or the telegraph that they are no longer NOPM.

given but that's different isn't it, and as a club shouldn't we all be hoping they can be won back.
What we need is a winning team. A bit of hope. Automatic promotion a big possibility. SISU leaving would put the gates up. But if we continued losing most of the time...especially in Division 4....the gates would go down again.Being at uni, the example of our club saddens just about every fellow lower league fans and it's clear to even people who have nothing to do with Cov see that the fans just aren't going to come back until the owners go. If we do well, attendances will go up, I can see attendances hitting 10-15k if we're high flying... But, to hit above 15k is a push because so many people are deterred from going to home games because of the owners.

Free tickets but you have to build your own Joy statue out of papier-mâché.
if you look on Facebook or twitter they are everywhere. Every comment on SBITC, Robins match preview etc "NOPM". Of course we should be trying to win fans back but there are people out there who will happily go to Wembley or Arsenal but abuse people who buy season tickets saying we're the reason sisu are still here. They're the ones that can get to fuck.I know your joking, but in all honesty are there really still that many NOPM, I know thousands Have

We got 16k against Burton Albion with sisu here. I think a vocal minority (the ones I'm talking about above) are NOPM but most just use it as an excuse because it sounds more noble than saying "I can't stand the bad times anymore"Being at uni, the example of our club saddens just about every fellow lower league fans and it's clear to even people who have nothing to do with Cov see that the fans just aren't going to come back until the owners go.

That could well be true, but as much as I'm enjoying Mark Robbins fresh approach and theMmm...if we keep winning you won't hear one "SISU out" chant at the Ricoh.
Whilst agreeing with you and still wanting new owners, there has to be a time when our focus is on the pitch and not the boardroom.That could well be true, but as much as I'm enjoying Mark Robbins fresh approach and the
Much improved and invigorated squad he's putting together, I don't agree with it.
Winning division 4 with record points would in no way make up for all that's gone before IMO
Look at how many teams have to go down as far as Division three or four so they can sort themselves out. Then they get another promotion quickly. They get their winning mentality back.That could well be true, but as much as I'm enjoying Mark Robbins fresh approach and the

That is the problem. We are used to misery. It doesn't seem right having hope. We are used to waiting for the next thing to go badly wrong. Most of us are mentally prepared for it to happen.Whilst agreeing with you and still wanting new owners, there has to be a time when our focus is on the pitch and not the boardroom.
You can read on here what a couple of wins does to the levels of optimism and continued success will only increase the feel good factor.
If Sisu are still here we should still enjoy the winning feeling, haven't we had to endure enough misery?
Heard them at the three games we have played so far.Mmm...if we keep winning you won't hear one "SISU out" chant at the Ricoh.

Completely agree, I was just pointing out that a good season in division 4 should not letLook at how many teams have to go down as far as Division three or four so they can sort themselves out. Then they get another promotion quickly. They get their winning mentality back.
For us it will be getting a winning mentality. Something we haven't had for a lot of years. The last time was under Jimmy Hill. We went through the divisions then. And we could do it again. Nobody is saying forgive SISU. But them treating us like a football team and not something to try and make a lot of money out seems to be their only choice now.
Our revival could actually have started last season with our Wembley win. The confidence is there. I certainly don't see anyone hammering us in the league. I don't even see anyone to worry us. But there will be a fair few that will see a draw with us as a good result.
Heard them at the three games we have played so far.
It will get less and less if we keep up with our good form.Heard them at the three games we have played so far.
Ive been to the 2 home games and not heard it, heard it on the feed at Grimsby.I've only been to one game and never heard a thing. Obviously a very quiet chant then.
It will get less and less if we keep up with our good form.
And so it should. I have been one of those very vocal against them. But now seems a good time to give it a rest. The legals could be over now. But most importantly the boys need our backing. Anti SISU chants don't help the atmosphere. We are finally on the up. We just had a win at Wembley and now we are top of the table. OK it is only after 2 games. But it was 2 deserving wins. We should be enjoying the season and not concentrating on something we can't change.
I have called a truce on the matter. Well at least as long as they don't do something else stupid. To me it is all about backing the lads and losing my voice after every game.
So, they can drag us from our home, they can drag us through endless futile court cases,i heard a sisu out chant vs notts county. or maybe it was blackburn cant remember. quite loud from block 17 area
nothing major though. if we are top lets just enjoy it
was there a sisu out at checkatrade final? there must be have been? prob early in the game though
I think what people are getting at is that when the protests and chants happen in game time it's not great for the team. Fortunately we have a mainly new team who are yet to witness the delights of tennis balls and whistles so they are on our side. Hopefully it stays that way.So, they can drag us from our home, they can drag us through endless futile court cases,
They can leave the door open for an out of town franchise to nip in and buy the stadium
From under us.
But as long as they can give us something to cheer in Division 4, it's all good.

I'm just surprised at how a couple of wins and a potential good season in division 4 is enough
Please people, SISU should be kept squarely in the spotlight.

Pressure needs To be kept up in the media, if the fans are quiet everyone just assumesDepends what people are doing to put them in the spotlight, still remember when we played swindon last season and they sang about Power I think it was. Strangely it wasn't mentioned again after they took the lead.

We are happy with our lot, the media drop their interest in our plight = SISU in clear.

I'm not calling for match protests, I am enjoying the up turn in our fortunes (on the pitch)There is no pressure even when the fans are shouting. If we are winning games and playing well there will be even less reporting about sisu out chants from games anyway.
If it's action and protests at the games then a lot of the time they annoyed people when we were playing shit anyway, imagine if somebody blew a whistle and put a player off in the last minute and cost us points when the majority of fans are positive about on the field stuff.
More people seem to be separating the football and SISU now than they did last season, because Robins and Widdrington seem to be doing things properly.
I'm not calling for match protests, I am enjoying the up turn in our fortunes (on the pitch)
I am just staggered at how quickly people are willing to forget what gone before.
That's all:emoji_pensive:
