This is where the club miss a trick. To counter this they should come out and make some form of statement regarding the club and their medium term intentions.

They should also say they will reward loyalty and for a £50 deposit offer season tickets for next season at £200 - offer ends December 31st

For me it's not about the money. They can give me a season ticket for free, but I will still not attend any more matches until they have left. The place is devoid of atmosphere, the football is poor, there is no strategy to improve matters other than keep changing managers.
No policy on 2018/2019 season on where we will play and no home for the academy.
Why would I want to drive a round trip of 215 miles to be bored, pissed off and frustrated.

I doubt it, not at home. Never been so dead and desperate. The stadium is too big for anything less than 15000 !

No season ticket = no revenue = no Sisu..... and if it means relegation so be it. At least we can start again without these parasites in control of our club..
NOPM is the only way to get shut of Sisu.. Like it or not there is no other way. They have not invested in the club in any form, just raped it of its assets ,we have nothing left so nothing to loose.. SISU FUCK OFF !!!!

This action has to be for the greater good of CCFC . for what it's worth , I think you've summed up Sisu's tenure at CCFC - perfectly !

YOU don't know whether it could drive the shits off or not..........nor do the people deciding to boycott either, the alternative is a slow death on their timescale though !

I do know that it's a lot more likely to just mean lower budgets than them suddenly selling up.

I have said why I think it would be detrimental to CCFC, but nobody will say why it is for the greater good?

With people like Bob and PSB pushing it though, it is good to see they brought the big guns out.

Anybody watch Nightmare Neighbours the other night? That bloke kicking off about his next door neighbours fence, it did have a few comparisons.

It's all about back pats, likes and agreement without actually having a clue what they are agreeing with.

SISU out did you say? Fully agree, nail on head, sixfields, rar rar rar.

Of course it will be detrimental in the short term but I really doubt they would want to carry the can for long on that basis. I do believe they will sell faced with a boycott !

They won't be carrying any can, they will just cut the budgets to suit.

If 500 - 700 people don't renew for example, they just cut the wage budget to cover it. Rinse and repeat each year.

How many times have we heard "if this happens sisu will go".

The bottom line is, we would never get 100% ST boycott, we're still getting 8-10k turn up now. For me, calling for this boycott is just going to lead to 20-25% reduction in attendances at best and thats only going to me one thing => wage bill reduction and reduced quality of squad. The majority of league one clubs have less than 6k attendances, and the majority of league two clubs have attendances less than 4k, this isn't going lead to sisu buggering off, its just going to further damage to the club.

This is just another rallying cry which will fall largely on deaf ears.

I agree with you Grendel so why are SISU hanging around if they are not recovering their investment or reducing the debt.
Their only hope was the JR which now appears to have gone, so the only possible strategy would be to get promoted to the Championship and sell a club "on the up". This will only happen with investment in the team. Otherwise we stay in League 1 or even worse get relegated.
They must have known that the JR appeal was a 20% chance at best.

Another choice, get relegated, sell club on the up when it gets promoted to league one with huge crowds after having relocated all training to the Higgs and pocket the Ryton money as part of the selling price. May not be the worse idea in the world, it will certainly lower the wage bill even more and the club may even show a profit. There are more ways than one to skin a cat!
