Surely most people go to support their football team. Why wouldn't you just nip to your local to socialise and have a drink with friends.
It's be cheaper and far less stressful than following our shitfest of a football club.

I think you are absolutely correct in your analysis, particularly how shades of opinion differ on this site compared to the general attitude in the fan base as a whole.

I think you're right, some of the posters on here (but not all) are well out of touch with the majority of fans who go to games.

Sadly you've posted to an individual who hasn't a clue what it's like to go to any CCFC game.

Let's face it most who get season tickets do it for social reasons, going out with mates have a few bevvies and a laugh.
This 'I buy tickets to support the club' is mostly superfan bollocks by the one ones you would expect to come the superfan bollocks.

This is what I mean exactly by some posters being totally out of touch with the majority of fans who go to matches.

I was kind of replying to the post of Rupert Bear who was telling us how many fans wouldn't be renewing.

you can't be bothered going because it's shit but you can't admit it to yourself like a normal person so you're making out it's part of some crusade.
The self loathing is oozing out of you.

The only point you've proved is that you're a weapons grade cock.
People who buy ST's are defending Sisu??? I've seen plenty of bullshit on this forum, but you take first prize for that gem pal.

Fisher blaming the fans not turning up is terrible, you blaming those that do, equally so.

What the fuck I have just read? I too was wavering, but having read through this I'm now convinced that I'll renew.

People talk about the 'gravy train' and 'lining SISU's pockets'. It's facile nonsense. The true aim of a boycott is an attempt to cripple the club financially, make it as uncompetitive as possible next season, and force a sale. If that's the aim, fine, but be honest about it - don't suggest its about depriving Seppala of a week in the Maldives with the girls.

Ticket revenues go to the club. How do you think we pay salaries and operational costs? Fairy dust?

The Northampton boycott made sense. It had a clear, achievable and realistic aim. Forcing a sale of the club by a boycott I'm not convinced by, and I think it is self-defeating and just guarantees that the misery continues because I don't believe they will sell in those circumstances.

I'll never waver in my desire to see SISU go. I'll go on the march today and continue to support the protests. That won't extend to a boycott though - I refuse to punish Mark Robins, all those young academy lads who have done their club proud in recent weeks, and I refuse to punish myself.

So who is shouting NOPM?

Does this include those who won't buy unless they can see that we won't have another season like this one?
Click to expand...

Didnt the opening post indicate NOPM? Equally, this isn't the only place where Coventry fans communicate. Personal examples; a number of people who wanted me to get them Wembley tickets, have now reverted back to a "moral" stance re watching City.

No it doesn't include people who openly state they don't want to go because of 'x'. My post did refer to that.

Hope if (ha!) we ever have a smattering of success again, you pretend to be getting them tickets, and don't bother.

SISU will sell if they get an offer they deem acceptable. Trying to force them to sell by cutting off income is a very dangerous tactic. The first thing that will happen is the budget will be massively cut. Then consider that the Ricoh deal ends this year. If we're getting 5K or less then it gives Fisher all the justification he needs to move us to the Butts / Nuneaton.

If the boycott is 'successful' what do we get? Admin again with SISU running the process like last time. That worked out really well. Or is the hope SISU just walk? Then who pays the bills and services the debt. Are those loan and interest payments called in at that point?

And there's always the nuclear option. Piss off SISU enough and they might deicde to just fold the club. If, as we have been led to believe, Ryton is more valuable for housing maybe they'll just liquidate and take what they can.

We'd all love new owners but how likely is a boycott to lead to that compared to something much worse?

Like LOVE...support is not unconditional for some people. That doesn't make them bad people or bad supporters. Everyone reaches a point where they question whether what they get out of a situation justifies their resource input (time, money, effort).
Only a fool continues to invest their savings in a failing bank because they can get more money in a succeeding bank. This is exactly the same principle.
It's called WIIFM.
What's in it for me???
