A bit like the wembley thing?

I guess so, people can't say if they would go there until we were.

I think if it came out it was 100% that CCFC would stay in Northampton for good then I don't know. It would certainly put me off going a lot more but deep down it would still be the same club, unless it was completely wiped out and started again like MK Dons.

I take your point entirely.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that "NOPMAFWAWWEAS" will ever catch on.......

I dunno, could make for a good call to Linell, trying to pronounce it!

 

[covcity4life]

the only time it stops being ccfc to me is if it dies, if its permanently in Northampton i may have to take a hiatus and support a pheonix team until they come back,i dunno,cant say till im faced with the dilemma

lets hope it is not permanent though.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

We already have this thread so if you can point others out I'll direct them all to this one

The reason I started another thread was because this one was supposed to be on NOPM!... I personally haven't seen any posts on the subject I raised but if you want to censor it that's up to you.
To be clear you do run a good forum though.

 

[theferret]

It isn't permanent. Only people with cotton wool between their ears think it is :wave:

But you'd asked the exact same question in the OP of the closed thread that you had just asked on the previous page of this thread. There is no agenda, it's just good forum housekeeping.

I dont see a stadium being built?
I dont see any confirmed site bought and being prepped for construction
I dont see CCC given planning permission for a stadium INSIDE the city of Coventry
I dont see my team playing at a 32,000 seater stadium that already exists for £150,000

I see my team playing 34 miles away at a 7,000 seater stadium for £170,000

what do you not see here?

If the move to Northampton was permanent, then by definition it would mean they weren't coming back ,ever.

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

I was just opening up a new thread to discuss a subject different from this on NOPM. But whatever's I and no one else gives a shit.

Nothing has been censored, it has just been closed with a link to this thread rather than deleted.

If the club stayed in Northampton for good, in what way would it be different to Wimbledon moving to MK Dons. The MK Dons weren't a new club, you don't seem to make any logical sense.

5 years could feel pretty permanent if you were in your twilight years or suffering from ill health ?!

I see that a club that relocates on a permanent basis to a town barely able to sustain its own football club has no future, no fanbase and no untapped market to exploit. It is guff of the highest order to suggest there is even the remotest possibility of CCFC being a viable entity long term in Northampton.

I have not ruled out the possibility of attending the odd game at Sixfields. However, if it became apparent that the club might take up permanent residence there I would not go near the place - not a chance, and I would throw my weight behind any phoenix club that emerged.

What we are seeing now is brinkmanship, grandstanding and petulance. I maintain, we will be back at the Ricoh soon enough.

I really don't understand the concept of just causally popping over to Sixfields for the odd game...after all thats gone on it would be a massive decision.
I too think it likely we will return to the Ricoh, but only if Sisu sell, and when that happens who knows.

A bit like the wembley thing?

No because we are hardly going to play our home games at Wembley for the next five while the majority of our fans insinuate that we will move there permnamently..

Read the thread then look at my response to Nicks point:facepalm:

 

[stupot07]

To anyone who goes to Sixfields on here, 'because they just support the club'

Would you 'just support the club' if we moved full time to Sixfields? Or a MKDons like franchise move?

If the answer is no, then surely you don't just support the club, you actually have an affinity to Coventry, so why not show that now??!

What a load of tosh, the same can be said of those only going to away games or to wembley (if we got there).

MK Dons were founded in 2004.....What I mean is if Coventry were no more and then moved 100 miles of course I wouldn't support them. If it was still the Coventry City club, it would make the decision a lot harder as it would still have the history and the team I have supported since I was a toddler.

I saw your comments, we won't move to Northampton, there are a select few, who insinuate without facts, just assumptions based on there own so called knowledge that we will move to Northampton.

Your use of the Wembley situation has nothing to do with the anything.

I only wanted to find out who would attend Wembley seperately based on their NOPM stance. As you quoted:

This is based solely on one game not a franchising move to Northampton or anywhere else.

But of course there are no facts that this is the end game for SISU, it's just as likely that CCFC will relocate to the moon at this point then become another MK Dons type Club.

I was insinuating that if we got to Wembley some people would re evaluate their position.

 

[Russian Gun Dogs]

This

and the various incarnations of this

Along with the proud history and memories they've created make it very hard to detach from the emotional connection we all have, regardless of location. That's why it's so important it comes home. If all that were to go... then it's surely game over. I think that's what Nick is trying to say.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Which is why I think we need our council to do far more

 

[Covstu]

I don't think there is any doubt that everyone wants it back in Northampton but some people still want to watch their team at Northampton in the interim, some choose not to. People make their choices and shouldn't be shot down for that choice There is a bit of hypocrisy in NOPM but I will goto Wembley if we got there, surely that fills SISU coffers as much as attending S'fields.

 

[Grendel]

It's fairly apparent the most vocal if the NOPM crew are members of NOPM for a different reason - they never go anyway.

Garry's eyes are in Spain, Swiss is all vitriol from his chalet and dadgad despite liking to dish it out goes all coy when challenged as to his attendance record.

No doubt Swiss will now come out with his normal angst about me being a super fan but the truth is of you never went anyway the NOPM campaign transfers you from an outsider to a mainstream fan.

Grendel - most disappointed. You fall into the trap you so often chastise others for. Wild speculation no data to establish your claim
I'm a nopm advocate and have been attending for 35 consecutive years as a season ticket holder

How would you classify me?

Less vocal than for aforementioned who mention moral backbone and courage to define their stance.

Remember I also after similar length of service no longer attend. It's not a badge of honour though just disappointment. Ironically I am more of an advocate as I wouldn't go to Wembley either. I don't, however preach at those who go. That's their choice.

Defining your own standards of people's 'volume' how odd? Now you don't dissapoint!

History tells us to 'beware the quiet man' badges not always required

If so dissapointed in the sky blues so as not to attend, why would you remain a member of sbt? Your right of course.. Just asking?

 

[cloughie]

I am starting to think people are turning into robots / cavemen and all they can do is grunt NOPM or SISU OUT all the time. I very much doubt it is hurting SISU more than it is hurting the fans.

If people want to go to Sixfields it is up to them.

This will be where you say those who different views to others are entitled to them without being called names like cavemen etc

Nah, double standards me thinks

Nick respectfully this is a forum and in such trying times I'm not sure what else you expect from people? I agree if those that want to go to six field want to go, then of course they have that right. Similarly I won't nor should i be denied the opportunity (or others) in trying to convince them they should reconsider that decision though?

As for " hurting" SISU?
Little seems to, not sure what else we the mere mortals who have supported the club can do ? They won't listen to reasoned debate for if they did they would not be 35 miles away at six field - there is no business logic whatsoever to this decision. Someone convince to the contrary I'm listening?

Returning the sky blues to Coventry is the only acceptable conclusion to this sorry affair.


I long to argue the merits of 3-5-1 with sky blue Taylor again. Or who is the better centre half..etc.
until then the 'SISU affair' will dominate with a regrettable inevitability. Sorry.

 

[longjohnskyblue]

NOPM is going make no difference to sisu the losses have been covered so stop trying tell fans what to do i have seen all games and we are playing great football so im not missing out sue to greedy ACL/CCC im right behind this exciting young team i dont like going to northampton but after months of arguing and protests which got us nowhere it time to get behind the lads get to sixfields on sunday and roar the lads to victory PUSB

And you base the reasoning the losses are covered on TF's word! This might be a revetation to some, but once or twice Mr Fisher has said things that haven't quite been true! Also has he based these losses on an assumption of 3k/game average? If so, will they be willing able to fund the additional losses of over 1,000 less gates? That works to roughly 1million over 3 years. That is of course assuming average is 2,000.

Grendel what laughably pompous self centred crap from someone who has done little but offer support to Sisu for a year.

MK Dons were founded in 2004.....What I mean is if Coventry were no more and then moved 100 miles of course I wouldn't support them. If it was still the Coventry City club, it would make the decision a lot harder as it would still have the history and the team I have supported since I was a toddler.

The MK Dons were the club that moved from Wimbledon,they were not a new club, they just changed their name. In the same way as the LA Rams moved from LA to St.Louis, to become the St Louis Rams, same team same players, playing under a new name. Go to the Anaheim area know and you will struggle to find anybody supporting their old team playing in another City. If in 5 long years time the club is still playing in Northampton, how many people in this City will actually feel that the football club truly represents this City anymore.
They have only been gone for 1 game, and already a disconnect is beginning to form, the longer this goes on, the divide will only get bigger and bigger.
