All that would do is then start to alienate and piss the players off. Again just harming the club, not SISU.

And get us a fine which they'd take from our budget

I know but would get the media attention we require. Everyone's forgotten about us

Someone would, they would catch someone at least, is it worth a criminal record though?

Look at the Wealdstone Raider, Andy Tate etc. They go viral.

Yep it must have been the co-incidence stuff.

It still doesn't answer why so sudden into the new season? Why not the pre season?

If less people go, they just cut the budgets. Not too sure why people seem to miss that.

Sure they do, but eventually they will get to a point where they aren't earning enough to cover their expenses and it starts costing them money to keep it going.

Bad idea, it'll turn the wider none CCFC public against us, they'll see it football hooligans.

We can get our front line to look into this one. Not sure they know 'inside the box'....

Exactly, they can only cut so much before it becomes so unsustainable that they have to start using their own money again, they would not want that happening again.

So they just cut the expenses more and more so it doesn't cost them anything.

Low points like three decades in the top flight? Signing international players and winning our one and only trophy?

We're still losing in cups to teams lower down the league ladder and throwing away leads in games we should be out of sight in. Oh how we were spoilt for 40 years and never ever appreciated it.

They would hump it onto the loan we know, but I'm sure they don't want that building up anymore

Just an idea. Needs to be something eye catching. Blackburn,Blackpool etc are recognised as clubs in turmoil but for some reason we have been forgotten. Need an organised protest which is outside of the box. None of these silly 40 people protests

There must be a point when more is going out than in, how far they can cut things before it become unsustainable who knows, for all we know we are probably already there with gates of 8K

One idea might be to have a sit down peaceful protest on the main road outside the Ricoh. Block the away coach from arriving on time. The police would slowly move protestors but it could delay kick off and get exposure on the Saturday sports channels and possibly national news channels. It would need a few thousand and not a handful to have any effect but it would be both dramatic and effective in getting media attention.

Most of the time it was pretty mediocre stuff, never really challenging at the top end of table bar a couple of good years.

some low points

Standing on the grass terracing next to a tree being beaten by Sutton United in the FA Cup.
Being beaten by WBA away 7-1 in a chocolate brown kit and the train being attacked by bricks on the way home.
Being pelted with sharpened 2p's in the away end at Anfield while losing 1-0. (actually we were top of the league when the match started)
Losing 1-0 in the FA Cup to Northampton Town squashed in the bloody awful country cricket ground.

I've got loads more, but here's 4 off the top of my head to start of with.

So with no new ideas, we can only do what we and other clubs supporters have done before.
1. Boycot games (TM loses finances as the only budget he has is what the club/supporters bring in as SISU won't give any money towards the team).
2. Fill the stadium (if point 1 is correct, which we keep being told then it would give TM more funds (not saying it happens but supposedly every penny the club earns on games goes to TM)).
So, why not a double. Do both of what people are saying.
Fill the ground and give TM funds plus show SISU or a buyer what they could have if ran correctly and results pick up.
Next home game boycott and show SISU what they now have as a result of there running of the club.
At least by doing both TM will not have his budget reduced as he made the money on the first game.
30k fans is 3 plus games attendance at the moment so money in for TM (helping the team), zero fans (not that it will be) for the next game still makes a point but won't affect the team budget.

Both together should show that the team has fans backing but SISU don't, it would make it into a story for the media as they could show a full and empty stadium and put our message accross.

Ideas such as fancy dress would help (love the c**t one lol).

Just an idea, but surely this can be built on and like i said won't affect TM's budget.
Having a full ground might even help the boys win a game.

Don't you think that the off the pitch matters don't tie in with on the pitch? I've gone past the point of blaming managers anymore. If he can't do the job no one can
