That's a good point AND that is why it is important to bury your position in respect of UNITY.Oh good, more attempts by a pool of fans to do SISU's work for them by dividing us.
What is meant by burying your position?That's a good point AND that is why it is important to bury your position in respect of UNITY.

Well said.I am not a season ticket holder but I must say I would never ask a fellow fan to not watch their team be it in Northampton or at the Ricoh.
I understand you are saying it is for the common good but sadly it wont make a difference in any way. If we have learned any lessons along the way it should be that sisu march to the beat of their own drum.

Wait until they start moaning about wage budgets and that we can't compete with people like Rotherham.
I have just been killed by irony.....

How will this show unity and common front against SISU? You can see the bickering between fans such a campaign will lead to.
What is the logic that says such a thing will directly affect SISU who have said to the club no more funds sink or swim on your own ability to raise funds? The club will have to operate on lower incomes and sell players that's all, which points to relegation struggles
People voting with their feet because the product is poor is one thing but to claim (as will happen) that its part of a campaign to force insulated, arms length uncaring owners out is for me a nonsense
The club has a terminal disease and is dying. That's a fact. There is no future.
The only way we are getting the owners to put the club up for sale is with something extreme. Therefore if we want the club to survive, something extreme needs to be done.
There is a difference between having to slash the budget because of poor crowds, and physically having no income. There is the risk that they will then liquidate us rather than sell, so the best approach is to have a potential buyer waiting in the wings, then pull the plug on SISU. They'll have to then sell up if they want to recoup anything.
In terms of boycotting, it might be a good idea to pack the stadium for a game. Fill it to the rafters. Then the week after, no one turns up. It can be a sort of 'this is what you could have had.' - That is potentially a good method to try and attract a new owner as well. Show them the potential if they can get it right.
Protests, mock funerals, petitions etc are not going to work. I actually support this move. We need to grow a pair of balls and stand up to them. Yes there are risks, but there is a risk right now we won't have a club within the next few years anyway.
Surely there isn't a difference between slashing the budget because of low crowds and having no income?
You can still operate the club with low crowds, as long as you're on a shoestring.
You cannot operate the club if there is absolutely no income whatsoever.
The former has Lee Burge playing up front. The latter means an exit of some sort has to happen.
But they will always have income of some sort, they will just cut everything down to try and fit inside that.
How? What income would they have with no ticket sales?
A complete blackout and they couldn't even give Sky Blue Sam a junior groundsman scholarship.
They will always get some ticket sales.
There won't be a complete blackout.
Even if it did happen, sisu won't then suddenly decide to hand the club to the fans.
You may well get Northampton attendances. They couldn't keep that going.
Even a 90% blackout would mean that you couldn't keep the club open. You may well get Northampton attendances. They couldn't keep that going.
They wouldn't just hand it over the fans. They either sell to someone with an offer or liquidate. The former still gives them sent chance of getting something out of their failed investment.
