Who's outing or criticising?

It's a very simple question. Why would those who went to sixfields to support the lads, not support the lads now that they need fans more than ever?

Nick has even suggested packing out the Ricoh etc, to show support for CCFC.

Why do you think?
Because the football is awful they are not enjoying it any more.
Its not all about the politics, but yes that does come into it.
BTW it does not make them NOPM as se would like to label them I suppose theyay choose a few games to go to.

OK Nick. The only ones making what you see as shit comments are those saying that they won't be renewing their season tickets and none of those that are have made any shit comments.

Have it your way. Have had enough of the stupid needless arguments all the time.

Just not enjoying it is completely different to being NOPM.

I didn't realise we had a "senior sky blue section" I bet you're a regular little "scamp" in there.

Tell me, have they noticed the decline in the standard of football being served up, do they
Glance around them and question why there are so many empty seats, even empty stands.
Or maybe when you reach a certain age, those things don't matter anymore? I don't know.

Actually they do. In skybkuestalk you find people saying by not going you are hurting the club.
You do get people having a go at those who do not attend. Yourself included.
Generally those who choose not to attend are respectful of the decisions of those who do attend. Despite those who will attend expressing their outrage and getting criticsed (which they haven't been)

Comments in the CET section. I have said a lot and will say it again. I don't read them I was pointed to them by two people on here Nick and yourself so I had a look.
It was very obvious it's was a wind up area. People coming out with all sorts of crap to wind each other up.
You could never take that seriously. So I have never been back.
It amazes me how often a couple of people on here keep making reference to wind up comments on there like it's something worth paying attention to.

Bit touchy?

Surely that's a 100% accurate quote?

Anyway, I just find it odd that some would go to sixfields but stop going to support the team at the Ricoh, wouldn't you agree?
Click to expand...
If you went to Sixfields and are now not going to go to the Ricoh because of some principled stand against SISU then it does seem odd perhaps (although my attitude towards SISU has changed.) However the football in the Sixfields season was a lot more entertaining so I can understand if the reaction is based on poor quality football

The point if the thread was to have a pop at those who feel that not attending is now the only way to speed up the arrival of new owners.
To suggest that those who have this opinion are having a go at nice loyal supporters for attending.

What's become clear is more and more people want be attending and those who don't respect the wishes of those who s

There aren't any in this site. You get people saying such action is out of order ect ect but it is happening somewhere else certainly not here.
The biggest shit people get on here is when they say they no longer intend to go. (It's quite ironic really)

i observe a growing unity from certain posters on here with the fringe mentality on the CT site.

Namely, there is a growing view they purchasing season tickets is a way to put money into the owners and to support the owners. We are told we need to be aware of our actions and that by taking the action of purchasing a ticket we are keeping sisu here.

Sadly outside of this bubble there lived a lot more normality towards watching football matches.

This season I sit next to a rather engaging couple in their 80's who've supported the club for as long as they can remember. They are very engaging and very much ccfc fans. Also near to me is a chap who is also in his 80's - looks younger - who gets dropped off and picked up by one of his children every game.

These supporters are going to renew next season - well as one of the couple said "as long as we are not dead"

The other elderly chap says it's his day out.

I've never really engaged in a conversation with them about sisu. They wouldn't, I suspect, be interested. Perhaps next Monday I should tell them there are people who are called "Covfan" "Dongonzalos" and "gosford green" who believe they are wrong to renew and they should think of the long term and at least need to know what they are doing. I suspect they'd think I'd lost my mind and ask if I wasn't feeling well.

The point is most people out of here don't think endlessly about NOPM, the principals and the thought of paying for Joy Seppalla's new handbag. Oddly they just want to spend 90 minutes watching a game of football.

No politics, no ulterior motive, no feeding a hedge fund. Just a continual enjoyment of the simple game.

Something I think some in here should take heed from.
Click to expand...
What you are actually doing gren is making assumptions on fans motives for not going dont put words in to others mouths. I have not had a season ticket ever, it was down to affordability in the late seventys and early 80s. Since then my job means i work Saturdays so can only go mid week. My father has been a regular season ticket holder and has been going since the 50s, both with his dad and me and now his grandsons. My kids, who are both the age that the club should be trying to attract, no longer go as they say that its crap, they do occasionaly watch the blaze and have been to wasps games which they enjoy because their is a good atmosphere and decent action. My father has decided not to renew next year, partly because his grand kids dont go anymore but the majority of the decision was made recently. Tim made his mind up for him at the age of 70, his blatent lies and threats have made him look at what he values and requires from his club, we are more removed now from the jimmy hill revolution and ethics than we have ever been. Its the only way he can make his voice heard, attending games is the most frustrating experience for people having their passion and patience tested by our clueless owners and twat of a chairman.
You can carry on buying season tickets as can the good folks that sit around you, if anything i admire your half glass full attitude. The club however is being ran into the ground by fuck wits with out a plan or a clue, they are treating you with disdain even though you are a stakeholder, as its your hard earned money they need. But its your choice to go, so when you dont have a ground to go to the season after next when we kick off the new Conferance season i am sure you can sit on Tims lap on pitch 3 at the Memorial park and discuss his plans for owning our own ground and being cash neutral.

He's repeatedly named me for year's as someone who doesn't have a season ticket to validate his "facts" over my opinion. His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

To turn this thread into some kind of positive direction, I have an idea for fellow fans and I would be totally onboard with it myself.

This is to all the people who are saying they won't renew next season, or won't buy (probably myself included).

Would you all be prepared to go to just one highlighted game next season? Either this season or next.

If you don't renew you will have saved some money and if you have chosen to give up entirely, probably even more still (you could of course just pay game by game)

Why don't we all allocate one game where we all go. Where we all turn up. Try and fill the Ricoh as best we can for one single game. Make a statement that the support IS there. Show that there is a way back.

I know it has been mooted before this idea, but now with people not forking out hundreds for a ST, people will have money in their pockets. So can we not all just allocate £20 of our saved money and all go to the same one game? Make a statement.

One off. Everyone that has bought a ticket and has a ST and all those who say they will not renew and will not be buying one and those who have already given up too.

As I say, been mooted before, but this is different. If people are going to save themselves £300 in not renewing, then all I am asking to set aside £20 odd quid of that and go to one single match at the Ricoh. All of us.

The last few days have been a bit of a game changer I think - Since TFs interview.
I start every season with renewed hope, and I think many supporters are the same, except when at (sixfields). But now I think why should I buy a season ticket next season when I know others won't and TM has stated the budget will be cut as a consequence. Obvious business sense, I know, but the diminishing bunch of season ticket renewers will be the ones who lose out by having to watch the team get worse and worse as a result.

If we were to win every single game for the rest of the season and got promoted would you renew then? Or if we had a significant upturn and finished top half would you renew?
