    Next time we are allowed in the ground a few thousand clown shoes thrown onto the pitch would be fitting and funny!!

    Haha, as funny as that would be, I don't think it alone would be enough to get rid of them.

    On a serious note, is there nothing more we can do? I say we as not606 members.

    Is there a way to get this story to a wider audience? Can we get sports journalists, outside of the hdm to do more articles on us. Or at least retweet the Athletic article.

    I've seen countless documentaries on TV, sky, YouTube etc on Cardiff and Blackpool when they were going through their problems, surely what's happening at our club is just as important to the footballing world. Could we maybe make our own on YouTube? Shouldn't be too difficult to source information, there's a **** load of it to cover.

    I don't know, I just think sometimes we're not doing enough.

    The only way I can think is by non attendance. When fans are allowed back. In League one gate revenues are a major contributor to revenue. It would mean they would have to start funding themselves, they wouldn’t like that. It would also send a message to the media.

    I don’t think all City fans would do it though.

    As some have said before, wont they just get bank loans to help support the club, getting us into more debt and eventually administration?

    That would be a great alternative on 19 minutes when fans are back in

    We aren't debt free. We would only be debt free if the price exceeded our current level of debt by some margin which I fail to see.

    It would be a change to hear something positive about the club's chances instead of everyone sticking the boot in.

    Totally agree! My approach with that 'letter' was a considered approach by saying. "look, you want to sell, we want you to go. How can we make this happen?"

    Yeah I totally agree that we need a different approach but i'm not sure we have (as fans) really tried to reason with him. I just think, knowing what we know about Ehab is that his ego is enormous. When you're aggressive with people like that, they dig in more. Anyway, thats just my 2p worth. :)

    Positive ? We are not bottom of the league, we still have a fighting chance with eight games to go. I'm sure every player and the manager doesn't take the field thinking 'I will play like a twat today and hopefully get stuffed'
    Things could be better and hopefully one day they will but I don't think it helps when everything about the club is getting the **** kicked out of it on a daily basis.

    We're not down yet and while there's a mathematical chance of staying up there is hope.That said,I seriously thought that Saturday was a must win and would have given us some real breathing space at the bottom,as it turned out we put ourselves deeper in trouble with a lifeless performance.We desperately need a performance and points to boost morale but with the current squad it's a big ask.I've said all week that our best chance of enticing a buyer is in the Championship and I genuinely hope we can stay up.....More hope than positivity I'm afraid but I really don't want to see our Club relegated!

    Maybe I should have said the club can start. For all Ehab saying he only wants positive vibes he's not sending many out.

    It is a two way thing and the club have never been tuned into this even when we were flying high. We should have a solid 18,000 fan base now every home game. ( obviously when we could go to games)
