We will already be down by the time this comes around-so Sisu out banners a plenty, whistles, pitch invasions-get the game abandoned as it will not matter and all be a United front. I'm not renewing and by the sounds of it so are many others so it's our one last chance to say goodbye properly to Sisu.

Couldn't any disruption at the end of this season potentially result in a points deduction next season?

If so that would really show Sisu wouldn't it.

We did the invasion, were warned and now we need to think of something else.

Hurt Sisu by all means, but surely we should try and avoid hitting Coventry City.

Surely if we are down already that would be the time to boycott

If we are down by then, then I hope Fisher gets what he so richly deserves.

I'm sure plenty of end of season pitch invasions will go unpunished.

Who cares anymore. Points deduction or not it would send a message out to Joy Seppala,Tim Fisher etc.

I strongly believe, and have done for quite some time now, that this club needs to go under to go forward ,alarming as it is , we will go nowhere other than into history books as we are now. id rather support us as a conference team on the way up ,rather than a dying club on the way down , our football is dire , entertainment value is nil , and fisher has said there will be no investment ,from the point that we are down a total boycott ,

Exactly.

Therefore a pitch invasion will ONLY hurt the club. Sisu don't seem the slightest bit bothered about pitch invasions. They are a faceless bunch of businessmen.

If it WAS hurting them we would never ever know.

Protests need to have a point and a clear goal, not just be a protest for protest sake.

We did the pitch invasion it got publicity, great. Now we need something else to keep it all focused in the media's eye without hurting Coventry City if at all possible.

I think the Charlton game and the Walsall game need to be the biggest protests.

Alongside them it would be brilliant if we could take 8000 to MK and do some form of protest.

If you want to hurt SISU then picket them at their homes and place if work - somewhere where it will embarrass and hurt them. It's evident they are are not embarrassed or hurt by what is going on at the Ricoh.

Unfortunately unless you do something big it won't be viewed as newsworthy. Unless you do something that splashes sisu negatively throughout the media it will impact negatively on the club more than it's owners.
I've said before that we need something that will capture all the news media. I would like a blocking of the roads around the Ricoh in order to prevent the away coach from arriving and therefore causing a delay of the game. That would harm sisu as the news channels will be all over it, pictures and interviews. The Beeb and sky would wAnt interviews with sisu as well as protesters for sure. It won't be at the ground itself so I can't see how the football authorities could punish the club with points deduction etc.
However there is a big risk of fan arrests etc but liaison with police beforehand could minimise that. Of course it will be a step too far for many and I fully understand that. I just can't think of anything else that would attract such attention and force sisu into the spotlight.

Even if the opposition didn't make it in the ground we would still manage to lose.

Read on Facebook that some plan not to go in against Charlton, the best protest maybe the away game at Mk due to the numbers there

I think a total boycott of the game would be the best bet, as long as we are not still in with a chance of staying up by that point.

MK Dons is the next big one I think we could get a minimum 8000 there IF allowed I just believe Fisher will attempt to restrict tickets but we should go anyway the thoughts of. Few thousand locked outside the stadium which holds over 30k might panic the old bill a bit.

Crowd would still be '6,000' best boycott would be of first home game next season nobody buy tickets or season tickets, home crowd would be 0.

(Yes I know people would buy anyway)

A mass sit out would be good. Get as many as we can to turn up but not go in. In a weird way it might be even more effective if everyone has purchased a ticket so when they announce that the crowd is 10k there's no one there. What would be even better would be if everyone hang's around to protest after the game and Tim is to scared to come out forcing him to have a sit in.

Ooooh three points. That'll take us from 15th to 16th in league 2 next year. Who actually cares anymore

Last time MK was used as a protest game you could buy tickets for the away end direct from the MK ticket office. You didn't have to go through the club.

So you think that will will make an impression on L2 next year? Maybe towards the bottom perhaps. 3 points or not it will get the message home to these parasites.

Complete boycott needed IMO until they leave. Empty stadiums for home games will eventually get the message across. And no ST sales for next season.

As always I would say the first thing is to work out what we're trying to achieve. A pitch invasion, even if it causes the match to be abandoned, won't bother SISU one bit. We'll get a fine and possibly a points deduction for the following season, both things that harm the club not SISU.

If we want new owners getting as many people as possible in the ground and some sort of 'come and get us' campaign is the best way forward IMO.

But if Sisu keep making losses every year then you would think they would leave. The longer they can make £1 million pound a year the longer they will stay. We've seen where any money goes from transfers etc so why would it be any different if we put money into the club by buying season tickets. The profit will be taken by Seppala and she'll say thank you very much!

I agree, this would be a much more positive approach, and think of the impact on the team if we could get somewhere near a full house cheering the team on
