If we're still in Northampton next year (3 Viewers)

Should we do a blanket boycott of all games, home and away?

It would surely get media attention and be majorly embarrassing for the FL & FA. Would also be a good example of how the suxfields move is killing the club.

What's your thoughts?

SkyBlues_Matt · Apr 20, 2014

I agree but i want to see my club play and not seeing a game for a season or even more would be shit..

cornoccfc · Apr 20, 2014

Would never get the support it needs to work, as proved by the Sixfields attendees this season.

Ah Good, different categories of scab.

The Sixfields Scab,

The away only Scab,

The one-off game in the cup v Arsenal Scab,

Theendorsing MK and franchise football Scab.

I don't do away games so it is already 'even more shit' for me.

Worst thing SiSu ever did to MY Club ?

turn fan against fan

thanks Tim & Joy

Otis · Apr 20, 2014

I'd never particualarly been anti Sisu and for me the previous owners were worse, but to take the club away from the fans is just reprehensible and I will never forgive them for doing that.

Now we are reduced to fan against fan, apathy and smaller and smaller crowds watching home games.

It is unforgivable, but not just Sisu to blame in all this. All sides hold a degree of culpability.

1966skyblue · Apr 20, 2014

If sixfields had been full we would have made the playoffs and if promoted would have possibly returned to the Ricoh. Would also have been more attractive to buy.

italiahorse · Apr 20, 2014

I would want to see what the plan is for next season. I don't go to so called Home games but would like some indications on before I spend (waste ?) any money ...

- Investment planned for team next season in view of fair play rules based on this years income.
In theory Sisu need to say that they will 'give' CCFC money to at least maintain this seasons level of players. If they don't then a fire sale will happen.

- I would hope to see some indication on venue.
For me this is critical and will be a decision maker. Build a new 'no ambition' stadium and I don't believe I can continue to support.

Fortunately I don't need a Season ticket and I assume because there are no early bird discounts that existing season ticket holders may be holding back.

My hope is that SISU will have no more hands to play after the JR, that CCC/ACL will be considerate and that we move back to the Ricoh under a long term deal with medium term options for SISU/CCFC taking more control of ACL/Ricoh/Pies etc.

Sadly this season isn't over yet mate

1966skyblue · Apr 20, 2014

Lots of close games that were draws or defeats by the odd goal. A couple of thousand more would have lifted the team. Sisu want out and will sell if we are in the championship and are playing at the Ricoh. I believe they would cut their losses.

bradwellskyblues · Apr 20, 2014

no i agree and i dont rule out relegation this season yet,i think tomorrow is key to that,sadly look at stockport luton and you can see were we are going,i know luton are back on the up but after many dark days

I prefer to say that the players would have been boosted by playing at the Ricoh, crucial players would have stayed, we would have attracted better loan players and in particular the better quality pitch would have suited our style of play.

In short .... it is not the fans fault (for not attending 6fields) that we are where we are.

As Pressley said himself, the Ricoh is a big draw in bringing players to the club.

We could have been playing at the Ricoh this season based on the last minute offer from ACL (which would have given some credibility to SISU for the brinkmanship) however since they decided to not take up the offer, or give give any thought to their customer base, then the reason for situation is clearly at their door.

Particularly as they/we would have been better off financially this season however you look at the cost breakdown.

The jury is still out on the long term viability of such a deal but SISU have never presented the financial viabilities in black and white.

Covcraig@bury · Apr 20, 2014

I will move on, enough is enough.CCFC playing in Coventry or nothing for me.

skybluebal · Apr 20, 2014

There comes a point when you have to put your emotions to one side. If you were buying from a supplier like SISU and they treated you like a sheep, you would never go near them again.

SISU are a business, behave likeanne and they will cut their losses and leave or they will change their business practises. Either way it will open a new chapter in the story.

I'll not go to sixfields and next season I may not even go to the away games. Yes, I'll miss it, but it is getting easier every day. My local team is getting more attention from me by the day.

SkyBlueBeard · Apr 20, 2014

Two things worth noting: 1. We will still be in Northampton next year, and 2. Plans for the new stadium are in discussion. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I see the move to Sixfields as an inconvenient but temporary measure. I will still *occasionally* go to games (once or twice) because the simple fact is I want to see my team play. The current situation is far from ideal but keep the faith, whether it's the Ricoh or the proposed new stadium we will be back in Coventry soon enough.

If your parents had practiced 'safe sex' we would not have to read the utter boll*cks you write

AFCCOVENTRY · Apr 20, 2014

I believe another season at sixfields next season will be the breaking point for a lot of fans. Some are hoping this one season away so far was to be a period to negotiate and get back to the Ricoh next season. If it doesn't happen there will be some who will say enough is enough.

Very much my thoughts too, 'temporary' so I renewd my season tickets on Monday but await further developments in the near future, whether it's a return to the Ricoh or a new stadium I will still support my team & club. PUSB!

Covfather · Apr 20, 2014

Don't worry there's a 10% chance of us returning to the Ricoh next season - rumours coming out of club.

Plenty of people have been doing that for years.

The chances are the club will be liquidated if they're playing there for another season so a boycott would have limited effect.

Did you renew your season ticket last week? I was expecting you to, only you've not mentioned it yet.

TrueSkyBlueLiam · Apr 20, 2014

Simple answer, no. Im already boycotting home games. I couldnt boycott away games too and i dare say neither will a lot of people. Staying away from home games is bad enough without abandoning our team altogether

I thought you had inside information, now it's Ricoh or new stadium, so in a nut shell you know less than FUCK ALL.

You renewed your seaston tickets? Why oh why have you never mentioned this before?

Would have thought you could have mentioned it 10 or 12 times by now. Why have you kept so schtum about it and not told everyone repeatedly on a football forum? :thinking about:

Evans1883 · Apr 20, 2014

in all honesty it just feels like groundhog day at ccfc, nothing changes , everything gets worse or stays the same , us fans argue about the same shite , the owners just simply do not care for the fans or the clubs history , they just want to make a few mill before they go , until then they will keep acting like my daughter does when she cant have some sweets

Are you trying to say your daughter has moved to Northampton and has taken you to the high court all because you've denied her some haribo?
