For a long time I hated the way the acl-sisu spin machines divided City supporters but the move to Northampton has taken things to a new low with name calling and abuse. Fans will always have disagreements, but the move to Northampton is tearing CCFC apart so we have to talk about this, hopefully in a rational and reasonable way. Here are my six reasons for not going to sixfields for the Preston game on 25 August and I will be really interested to read responses.
1. The cold, hard reality is that every City fan inside sixfields helps the justification of the move to Northampton - individual reasons for going don't affect the big picture.
2. The move to Northampton is not temporary: if sisu wanted a new ground, land would already have been bought and a planning application submitted – talk of a ‘new’ ground is a smokescreen.
3. Support the team not sisu! We can go to away games or even watch from Jimmy's Hill (although my preferred option for Sunday is...
4. On 25 August we can support a CCFC team at the Ricoh - Coventry City Ladies (tickets are £5, or £3 for concessions).
5. Let’s think about the next generation of City fans – not going to sixfields is short-term pain for the long-term gain of getting CCFC back to Coventry.
6. If people want CCFC to return to Coventry but go inside sixfields, what is the suggested strategy instead of not one penny more and boycotting Northampton?
