So logically this must include the many people in recent seasons who paid to attend games at the Ricoh to then chant 'Sisu out' also? Or is it just that anyone going to Sixfields is an accessory to murder.

What a silly post

And what a competent answer.

The slow demise of the club started 12 years ago when we were relegated from the PL. In fact it probably started before that, the move to Northampton has only accelerated it.

Gates are 10% of those that prevailed when SISU took over. Even you can calculate that's a 90% reduction in support. To use anything else is delusional

Rotherham and Brighton survived playing away from their towns/cities. Yes, circumstances were different but they did not 'die'. But I suppose that makes me delusional.

In the same way that not paying ones rent invokes homelessness.. constructive vagabonds then?

 

[lordsummerisle]

What about if you profess to love the club, but taccidly support the actions of those killing it. That's hypocritical, isn't it?

Is taccidly something like flaccidly?

Loosely..yes.

 

[adamdav68]

More than 12 years ago agreed, my personal opinion it was when Richardson got his grubby hands on our club, as soon as those artists impressions were in the match programs of a retractable pitch and a closing roof, Richardson hold your head in shame you greedy ###t

It was an appropriate response to the absurd comment from you.

Jesus wept Grenduffy; you can't even win your own arguments nowadays, without spreading your 'wisdom' even thinner by participation in other folks'

As you know; neither of those situations resulted in widespread and acrimonious alienation of the fans; and as such, your comparison is worthless. It's almost like you're trying a bit too hard to justify the unjustifiable

They are not worthless. And I'm not trying to justify anything other that the move isn't necessarily 'killing' the club. Brighton survived 2 years playing 40 miles away in gillingham, so can we. I want us back in Coventry, but I don't yet subscribe to the scaremongering tactics of 'killing the club'

There are 1,600 'home' fans there today, inclusive of any free tickets that may or may not have been given out to boost numbers.

To give your comparisons any worth; can you tell me another club who suffered an alienation of fans anything even like ours?

Without such; and I don't suspect you'll give me at such, I'll keep using the 'worthless' tag if you don't mind

 

[covboy1987]

attendance 1815 time to come home

Got to be time to come home cannot survive on crowds like that

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It's beyond belief that Tim Fisher still thinks that the fans will follow! This was the game if there was going to be one - You have lost the supporters Tim - get back home you plonker!

 

[bigfatronssba]

Actually seems to have lost fans since the last game. Was it not nearer 1900 against Notts County?

 

[ecky]

Okay. Attendance at Sixfields is taccid support of of those who have overseen this 'acceleration'

yep 1800 there 1600 so called city fans

The Club is lying flat on it's back---it isn't moving and bar the odd twitch it's almost dead.
Yes previous owners started the decline, but it's sisu and only sisu who have put us on a fast track to the knackers yard.

 

[ecky]

The ones I've been offered were through a mate who has a business in Northampton who have dealt with NTFC before, not sure if the offer came from NTFC or if it was coincidental / SISU trying to get some local sponsors.

sound like sisu are trying to gain a new fan base? its a disgrace what they have been allowed to get away with......

Tranmere only brought a handful. Not sure what the home fan comparison is.

we know that, but sisu couldnt give a dam.....the fans are dispensable

About 1600 apparently.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

RFC you're right if we had been playing at the Ricoh the boo boys would have been out booing Barton today:thinking about:Wait a minute we were at Sixfields today sorry must have been the Tranmere fans:facepalm:

 

[dadgad]

You see; this really gets me. The travesty of what SISU have done would gain greater publicity if zero fans turned up. Imagine. Week in, week out; zero fans. That would get the publicity our plight deserves and embarrass all parties into solving this farce; and by that I mean SISU, CCC, the football league - I mean everyone who has a level of culpability.

Every fan who attends lessens the impact of the point the stay-away fans are trying to make; legitimises the actions of the owners, and if anything makes resolution less likely. And 'supporting the players' is a weak excuse from the selfish and spineless[/QUOTE

Exactly.

Said as much at beginning of season.

The minority should support the majority and see what happens.

 

[Spionkop]

Any fan who wants the Sixfields farce to continue, carry on going. Any fan who wants to play a part in getting us back to Coventry, don't go.
Simple as that.
There is no sane reason for CCFC to not be playing at the Ricoh.

 

[torchomatic]

I thought there were one point three million reasons.

Any fan who wants to go to Sixfields, go. Any fan who doesn't, don't. Simple as that. Don't let cunts on here make you feel guilty.

And don't let one of the biggest ones on here persuade you that you are doing nothing shameful.

They are doing nothing shameful.

I think you personally are leaving yourself wide open to let any dick take advantage of you.

 

[bigfatronssba]

I would like to see a game where everyone together makes a point a decides not to go.

In reality though its not really necessary. The club cant go on like this, and I think the crowds now are as big as they are going to get. They seem to be hovering around the 1500-1800 mark.

The true statement lies in comparing it to other clubs. Ours was the second lowest in the top 4 divisions today. Only Accrington had less than us. In the Conference there were 7 out of the 12 fixtures with bigger crowds. To really highlight it, today the once high flying Coventry City had less fans watching than Kidderminster Harriers. Even a Conference North team (the same level as Leamington) got a bigger crowd than us.

I still agree that it would be quicker and better for no one to go, but I think their so few in numbers that they are not making a difference.
