tbh seeing how this thread has attracted very little interest, the completely divided response to the initial plan for sheff u and the Trust not supporting anything on Jimmy's Hill things are not looking great for 13 oct. I'm bowing out for a while after Sunday and I just hope people will rally behind the guy - he posts on here as Turkey Trot - who will be organising it
Well the most effective protest of course would be a total 100% boycott of Sixfields for that game.
True, SP and the team deserve better but this is all about the bigger picture.
However for that to happen there would need to be 100% solidarity behind the NOPM cause. And that ain't gonna happen as long as you have a hardcore of 1500 who are prepared to go to that cowshed in Northampton.
No doubt about it in my mind, those 1500 are giving Joy hope that with a few well chosen words she can sway more fans over.
Stay strong. NOPM
Big shame really.
When the game was announced on TV 90% of people said protest on the hill etc.
For some reason many gave decided against this..
No offence but surely it is a sign?
A sign of what, that people are weary of protest but no doubt some will judge it a sign of what?
We can tell our elderly parents not to be taken in by conmen but it still happens.
Because the biggest con merchants make it so plausable at the time, yet on analysis, it becomes obvious even to the simple minded with a little prompting can see the obvious
No different here with Seppalla

there is a 20 page thread on thisi
what we REALLY need now is 1 idea and everyone to run with it.
The most sensible, in my opinion would be for everyone to (as a one off) buy a ticket, a and agree a time when we signing "IN OUR COVENTRY HOMES" and all walk about and head to the hill.
We go viral on internet, get mentioned on Sky and protest on the hill.
There have been 100 suggestions and we are nearing the date
There has to be one suggestion that we run with, be it 5 people or 5,000.
Whatever decision is made by NOPM / KCIC I will support, but they need to decide
I go to sixfields but I do agree there should be some kind of walk out , in front of the cameras , straight after second half kick off?
Even my stance to support my team and attend sixfields , I sometimes feel that something should be being done there , my red and green scarf idea fell no deaf ears , there always seems to be someone that thinks their idea is better
The trust simply isn't up for the battle , they're only observing , time for some actions to bring about a move back to coventry , all this divide is pathetic
Fisher and SISU are committed to building a new ground, obviously outside the jurisdiction of Coventry City Council, within three years. In the meantime, they are heading 31 miles south-east to Northampton to play their home fixtures.

Ms Seppala maintained she has already attracted investors to fund the club for years - including the losses from playing poorly attended ‘home’ matches at Northampton, and the costs of building a new stadium in the Coventry area within five years.

If you do nothjing then you're acquiescing to continued attendance at Northampton.
I'll just point out that the goalposts are moving on the 'new' stadium dates..

Simon, those that choose to stay will stay for their own reasons, I really don't think anyone of the fans want us at Sixfields. This shouldn't be about taking sides, this shouldn't be about splitting the fans, this shouldn't be about who's to blame and where that portion of the blame lays. It should be about raising our ridicules situation to the footballing public. It's about our future.I agree, for this one day we should all be united and show the World we are genuine supporters. Those who go into Sixfields walk out at a set time in second half and leave an empty stadium. The few who stay will be confirmed as those who support the move.
Everyone on the Hill for last 20 mins.

i think a totally empty stadium shows a lot more, that's how i see it, never in northampton is my take on it.All be united as long as they come out on the hill? Surely it would look better to have a full house that then emptied?

i think that would work only every one did it, then may be i would consider going to sickfields.Going from a full stadium to near enough empty mid way through the game would show even more surely? I have watched league 2 and 1 games where the ground is pretty much empty and not thought anything of it...

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. AS THE SMALL FACES, SANG WITH PRIDE " ALL OR NOTHING ".Even if 500 stay in its a bigger statement than 100 outside in the hill that can't be seen

IMO buying a ticket then walking out as a protest against the very people whose funds you've just donated to, is plain daft.
Live screening at the Ricoh in front of 10,000, Sky cameras frequently switching to the real fans.
Now that would be some statement.
