The thing is Tim Fisher may have a point say if we are in the Play-Offs after 6 games but realisticly I don't expect this to be the case, howver after speaking to a very good friend of mine, who is also a poster on this forum, we both agreed that many people can say at this point we will stay away but maintaining that stance is going to be very hard and I am sure Timmy Fisher know's this, he also knows that success brings crowds in and I am sure if we get the slightest hint of success fans will go to Northampton.

Fisher Not Expecting Boycott To Last - Coventry City CEO Tim Fisher has said that he does not expect any fans boycott of Sixfields Stadium to last.Speaking to a loing standing Coventry City supporter last night at Coventry Station as he waited for Dan Walker to take him to the SCG Meeting, Mr Fisher, who says he has nothing to be sorry for, expects fans to boycott the first couple of games but feels that most will be back after three matches.Mr Fisher, who says that SISU have no intention of buying Sixfields in order to get their hands on*a redeveloped stadium, facilities including a hotel and land close to the M1,*maintains his stance that he is expecting 3,000-7,000 per game at Sixfields Stadium and is expecting at least seven sold out matches.*

bit hard to have sucess though with no players (transfer embargo), no fans, no income and every person, Mp's council ACL, fans , former plyers slating you for everything you are doing to the club! do you think the players want to play for our owners? remember what it was like when the players wages were late we got battered in everygame we played in, this is more or less the same senario
The crowds will be horrible without any boycott at all. There seems to be an assumption that the reason the crowds will be terrible is because of a boycott that isn't true, the reason the crowds will be abysmal is because of a boycott the reason the crowds will be terrible is we are in affect away for every game. So realistically the best they can hope for is to match our normal away average anyone know an approximation of what that was last year? and it will be lower than last years away average because all these "away" games are in the same place and so don't have the interest of a normal away game, there will be twice as many "away" games as last year, the enthusiasm and optimism for our time in this league is gone, our team is likely to be significantly weaker and we are unlikely to be pushing for promotion.
If we are doing well he can hope for somewhere approaching our away average to midlands games we don't consider derbys but thats still pretty terrible if we are doing badly and unfortunately we all know that to be way more likely the crowds are going to drop as the season goes on, not increase as we come crawling back as he expects.
I actually think our first couple of games will be our biggest home support of the season (assuming no amazing cup game). The complete opposite to what Tim says.
Possibly Noggin, but unfortunately with anything in this sport Tim Fisher know's the two thing's he needs to know about Football Supporters (his client base), a) They're naive - People will follow the club and not everyone will boycott forever especially if (which brings me to point b) The Club is successful - People will turn up to the games to support the club, because they want to be apart of the positivity at the club. Now I know all to well that we aren't going to win the league, but imagine if we were second at Christmas? Yes we may start at say 1100 attendance (The away average you asked for Noggin for last season), but that will rise incredibly if we got through Christmas in that position, maybe a FA Cup 3rd Round draw and then your into the final strides. Do I think this will happen? No probably not I can't see past Mid-Table should we keep the current squad in tact. However we lose Clarke and Baker and then things are season is going to be like a ton of falling bricks.
But it's not like we don't have any players, no fans, no income and so on as we have seen many people have decided they will go to the games and will continue to invest money into supporting the club, unfortunately just because 91% of members on Sky Blues Talk and 100 Fans who have protested with the Sky Blue Trust have said they're not going doesn't mean it speaks for all the club's supporters. We are in a situation whereby we can't sign anyone. The players will make there own mind up as to what they want, as they are professionals after all and have to make the best decision for many reasons, however I don't see us struggling as much as people think if we can maintain the current squad, obviously we need a CB, but if we have too, Christie can fill that position and Jordan Clarke can slot into RB.
I think the morale in the camp renders 2nd place impossible. Just read what Baker has said. To be second in this league, you not only need decent players, but a fantastic team atmosphere with players putting everything they've got in, week after week. Our situation is hardly conducive to that scenario.
Especially when Elvis has told players they can go - but we're still under an embargo, so he may have to rely on them to play. Not exactly motivational for a player I would think.
