Some day, I'll write up how you might manipulate the rules of the game on this message board (using my own cultural authority to do so ). Alas, any evidence on here would come down highly on ACL manipulating the rules of the game, if anybody...

Or it could all be bollocks of course

I think any evidence would reflect a fanbase that is angry at the club's owners for taking their football team away from them. Any other conclusion would be over analysing it or, dare I say it, insane

One of the criticisms of the march in Cov by those that have all along criticised any form of "protest" was that SKY cameras weren't there!?
The same people are now emphasising the point that the cameras are there to cover the match and not any protest.
While this is undeniable can really anybody be sure that the two are not one and the same?
A ground with more outside than inside will be hard to ignore, impossible probably.

The first thing is to get as many fans as possible onto the hill or if they prefer, into the ground to make their protest by walking out at a given time. I'm in the process of securing some coaches to pick up from around the city for a donation, also it's been suggested that we collect for the Alzheimer's society on the coaches and on the hill.
I'll update when things are confirmed.

Ok, I say that tongue in cheek, but it is a good point that you raise. I mean, we are all angry that our club has been taken away aren't we?

Tongue in cheek or not, 9000 aren't lazy and they are angry. They are boycotting. The purest form of nopm.

NOPM is the priority, of course.

Just funny that 'purest form' of the boycott ie not travelling to the hill, is also the laziest.

As I say, it was said tongue in cheek.

I appreciate there are other reasons people might not travel to the hill. I promise!

Not so much lazy more the easy option.

That's fine but why then slag off people that do do something that is what really gets me could be guilt or other unseen reasons?

But they ARE doing something. They are boycotting. Denying SISU income.

That's what I've always found strange. I was one of the many mocked for protesting by the statue a few years ago - don't look so stupid now do we?

I'd put some of it down to guilt yes. It's a lot easier to do nothing but you have to justify it first - so you get excuses like "they won't hear you inside" "Sky aren't bothered" "Nobody cares" etc

No you'll just hear the truth - it makes no difference. If someone asked to protest against abuse of animals in laboratories id be up for it. However, when I found the protest involved standing outside a random block of flats in a town 30 miles away I'd politely decline.

Lazy? No

Guilt? No (that's even more absurd than lazy)

The point is standing there achieves nothing - the owners aren't there, ACL aren't there and the council aren't there. You are not even in the town we want to be in. Now before you bleat on about creating awareness this game will be watched only by those interested in both clubs. You get on the news by protesting at parliament or sitting on a newsreaders lap - not be watching your team in the venue you are protesting they are at.

Guilt??? I haven't heard so much crap in all my life. Maybe some of us think standing on a hill protesting (whilst watching the game for free) is completely pointless.
It's going to be a nightmare when we do come home, all you hillers bumming each other and lauding yourselves as heroes of Coventry.

What's being said here?

The protest was demanding a move to Northampton and therefore was a success?

It's clear that you both think protesting on the hill is pointless (your opinion). So in the interest of fairness, what have you done (other than NOPM) to help?

I'll be watching it on TV from work. If something had been arranged at the Ricoh (ie a big screen) I may have made the effort. Sitting on a cold windy hill with a shit view doesn't sound fun.

I disagree that us hillers would take any credit if we moved back.

But I'd agree our fan base isn't too bothered (not necessarily lazy) . I've been all the protests bar the ones in London.
I've been to ones outside the Ricoh with 100 people there thinking 'where is everyone??'

In the same year that we managed a sell out crowd of 30,000, we struggled to find 200 to protest each week against our club being moved outside its home city.

Fair enough the March was incredible, but at the same time why is that a one off for many?

We should have thousands protesting each week, in the city wherever.
NOPM, although I take part in it, isn't showing any signs of moving us back home anytime soon.
That's why I protest each week on the hill, because I think extra is needed.

This is not pointing fingers at anyone. Many of my group who I did go to the games with don't bother protesting, infact many of them have said they don't care about us being moved. I worry that many may be the same.

It hurts so much that I have to watch from the hill each week. But I feel I have to continue as for me I can't not watch my team, but at the same time I can't pay sisu.


Thanks for doing this to us FL, Sisu, ACL and anyone who has messed us fans around .

Spot on.

Instead of saying "what have you done?" all the time like standing on the hill watching the game for free makes you a hero it should be "what have you achieved?". I could say I hitch hiked barefoot through Australia with a SISU OUT NOPM top on which is a lot of effort, but what would it have achieved?

If you couldn't see the game and people went every game then fair play to them.
