Time for a total boycott (1 Viewer)

Jimmy Hill's Chin · Aug 27, 2011

I like most committed Sky Blues fans love watching and supporting our team through thick and thin, and a total boycott of the club (i.e. not attending matches, not buying merchandise etc) goes against everything I believe in. However, these are truly desperate times and unless SISU leave asap there may not be a club to support. Imagine if the b*stards were still here in two or three years time, we'll probably be in the Blue Square Premiership at this rate! Therefore we must force them out for the sake of our club and I think the only way to do that is a complete boycott of the club while they remain owners. Only then will they realise that they are not wanted and the game is up. I hope all fans will consider this, desperate times call for desperate measures.

OK so you boycott the club. The monthly losses go up. We have to reduce outgoings even further and sell off anyone of value left in the squad.

And we still have no-one willing to buy the club.

Genius.

Force them out to be replaced by what and who?

CovScott88 · Aug 27, 2011

I understand your sentiment, but those actions would just harm the club further. If we don't go, that's even less income the club are generating, which obviously increases our losses and puts us in an even worse financial position. It's a real Catch 22.

Good idea.. let's put our club in to even more debt..

I wish everyone would stop pretending they knew the details of the bid recently submitted by Hoffman's lot!!! That was a bid, there was a bid, was it a valid completely above board totally complicit bid??? Who knows? I don't, you don't. IT WAS A BID and it won't go away the more you deny it LOL

If necessary administration would be preferable to another few years of this. Under SISU the club has no ambition and no future. SISU will continue to denude the club of any quality players and we will end up with a team of academy players who will struggle to be competitive in League 2. We have to do something drastic to show SISU that this must not be allowed to happen. If it pushes the club and SISU into admin, then perhaps that is a price worth paying as the current "death by a thousand cuts" strategy of SISU is horrendous.

So I'm not gonna go to something I've paid £300 for?

If we boycott the club there be futher in trouble not sure what the answer is who out there will take this club on? I belive we will go into admin before the end of the season. We need massive cash injection for good players sad times for are great football club

That's the irony of this type of sentiment though isn't it. If we pulled in 32,000 a week all with a replica shirt and a programme, we would be making money hand over fist and could afford to sign players, renew contracts, etc.

At the heart of it all the problem with the club is we don't bring in enough fans for our outgoings.

so if we boycot the club we dont put any more money in causing a completly downward spiral and the club will have even less money and we will tick along selling all assets until we get relegated or administration or both.

Or we continue to turn up (the small amount of us that do) we continue to put money into the club (that can not be supported by the owners seen as they are losing money them selves) and we will tick along selling all assets until we get relegated or administration or both while SISU keep pulling what little money than can from the club sales.

either way we are fooked:thinking about::thinking about::thinking about:

I think in these times we should be getting high attendances to support the team!!!

Hmmm. 11 years of abject failure and relegation scraps in the 2nd division, only going backwards.

Tells you all you need to know.

I share the difficulty many have by taking drastic action such as not attending. But as I mentioned in another post a one-off 'now show' for the Derby game sends a strong united fan message that would be difficult for the board and SISU to ingore. Especially in front of a TV audience. To those who have concerns about plugging the club in to further debt, really can it be any worse by showing fan unity for the Derby game. Over recent weeks, Clouting and co have openly stated that they are preparing for further downsizing aka preparing for this so called 'spending within means' baseline. Without the fans showing a strong hand there is no chance of registering our dissatisfaction. The alternative, protesting vocally during games is unlikely to have an impact. Taking action that is not the norm can create and invoke a response. Brinner and co recently demonstarted this!

No we wouldn't. Extra 16000 fans at an average ticket price of £18 would give an extra of around £500k a month, which means we would just be about breaking even. Perfect example of how badly the club has been run, the fact we could have the biggest crowds in the Championship and still not make any money.
