We Shouldn't Be Ashamed To Go To Northampton

Last updated : 28 July 2013 By ML

My two boys and I have travelled from Derbyshire to see Coventry City's English pre-season friendlies. It was marvellous to see how Pressley is bringing his young players on. 

It was a joy to watch and just emphasises the great shame of making our children suffer by not taking them to see the Sky Blues because of SISU's and ACL's actions!

Further, we do not believe it is right to abandon the players when others are at fault.

They shouldn't be punished for the errors of others. For some of them, this is the only chance they'll have. What a tragedy to starve them of our applause.

We can still protest, complain and make a noise, but it is cruel to abandon the team we love.

I also believe that we shouldn't feel intimidated by those who feel differently. That's their rightful choice. Our preference is to let our love of the team dominate our actions. For me, that's the greater good.

We shouldn't be ashamed to go to Northampton and give our children the delight of seeing their favourite players in action. We shouldn't crucify our own children's development and starve our players of our support by failing to give them our voices, applause and hearts.
