Not literally shouting, but throwing the theatrics with your 'you've got blood on your hands' stuff. Same with anyone accusing those going of helping to 'kill' the club amongst other nonsense, when that could very well not be the case at all.
proved to who ? the joke that calls it self the fl, wake up !At the start of this saga I, and many other fans, supported the NOPM campaign. I attended the protest march and was close to pitch invading at Crawley. The turning point for me was when I discovered that SISU have proved that they can fund all of this including a stadium. I dont believe they will be starved out but I do believe that other measures that the fans take can influence decisions at our club. Im not ready to attend Northampton just yet but its turning that way.
After much thought and listening to all views, opinions and weighing up facts. I've decided that the NOPM approach will not drive out SISU. My team is a pawn in a business tug-of-war and I'm the one (all fans) that's losing out on my main interest/passion outside family & work.
I'm supporting the team this Sunday and am quite sure a few hundred more supporters than the Bristol City game will take this view too.
I do support away too and am going to Shrewsbury (less contention) and would especially encourage those sticking with the NOPM conviction to come too...
totally agree, spot on, nopm, pusb.some people are mistaken if they believe nopm is merely a strategy to starve sisu of funds? It isn't my main reason for nopm. To me it may or may not force sisu to sell or return to coventry. It probably won't "work". However, it will make the point that loyal supporters are not willing to follow if the team is taken out of coventry. This is both a principle and a warning to the owners that they will not get supporters to meekly follow wherever they lead.
If they can do without my £500 and 40 years of season ticket and support, good luck to them. I will not be dictated to. My support is not unconditional.

12 pages of posts. 4 weak fans are going & one maybe. Not exactly a mad rush is it.
Perhaps they are all in RFC's car.
The rest of us have principles. CCFC in Coventry.
err saying your not going to sixfields and then after one game or(11 goals) saying you are now that's principlesClaiming those who disagree with you are weak isn't much of a principle.
Everyone wants CCFC in Coventry, but opinions differ as to how that might be achieved given that we are where we are. I can't imagine it is a hugely difficult concept to grasp, but some people really seem to struggle with it.

I think its the fact that we've yet to hear how going to sixfields will help the club come back.

Car full on Sunday, really looking forward to it PUSB ! PUSB !
Surely you are not old enough to drive?!?
Well quite, but I don't think I've heard anyone argue that by attending it will hasten the return. What some are saying is that they don't believe NOPM will make any difference.
I'm not sure. I can see the thinking behind the NOPM campaign, but I am not convinced it will work. I am still to be convinced either way.
I'm not convinced anything will work with our owners, they were told in no uncertain terms at the forums that the vast majority would not go to Northampton. Indeed there own fan survey told them this but still they went ahead. I've wondered about this "lets all go and show em the place is too small" idea and can only conclude that sisu would turn around and say " sorry but you all told us you were staying away, but do come back in a few years and we'll see you then ". I just don't think there is any alternative to nopm, but it really has to mean nopm.Well quite, but I don't think I've heard anyone argue that by attending it will hasten the return.

Or Tim will be driving, he will be in the front passenger seat and the dog will be sprawled across the back.He says 'car full' but neglected to tell everyone it is a two seater Smart car.
The way I see it is its a case of doing something that might work as opposed to something that won't work.
Claiming those who disagree with you are weak isn't much of a principle.

Would that be Jan Leeming's !Leemings!!
You will be going to northampton for the rest of your lives,
There is no proof that NOPM will force the club back to the Ricoh or get rid of sisu, and there is no proof that going to Sixfields will contribute to the death of the club or even make them stay at Sixfields for longer.
Well no Stu, we're talking about the future. We don't want proof we want well reasoned arguments.
At the moment the club think this move will ultimately cost them nothing. They feel that they can do whatever as City fans will always follow.
What NOPM does is hit club income, which A) discredits the FL decision to allow the ground share and B) seems to be all that Sisu have spoken about as justification for all this.
It's also the only form of protest we have what do you suggest selling out Sixfields and chanting Sisu Out and hoping Joy can hear us in Mayfair.
We need to show what an awful business decision this is. We also need to show that fans have limits or before you know it we're Coventry Wildcats playing in Warwickshire texting in when we want a sub.
It baffles me that there are so many people who have such a problem with the basic principles of collective action in situations like this.
You'd probably have been on the Suffrage forums taking the piss out of Emmeline Pankhurst "WTF has lying in front of horses got to do with suffrage?" Had the technology existed.
Brilliant, how long did it take your single brain cell to come up with that insightful postFook off scabs

Collective action? We all acknowledge that all sides are to blame in this argument, so whilst you were exercising NOPM principles you were at the Ricoh handing your money over to ACL.
