Long time reader, don't often post let alone start my own threads, the majority that do tend to get shot down within 3 replys, as I am expecting to happen here. Season ticket holder living in Sheffield so all I really have to base my info on is the highly factual telegraph website and this forum.
Would it be possible for us to raise the rent for the Ricoh between the fans, all offered it to side for 400k so I'm sure they could do it to a fans group for less than that, say 300, if we had an average of 10,000 core support at this level, say 1/3 are children so 6000 odd with incomes, £50 a year each to keep the city playing in the city. Over 3 years allowing the owners to get on and start building the enigma that is the new stadium. This would surely be cheaper than the expenditure those who would be travelling to and from Northampton every fortnight would spend, and be a clear show of defiance to the owners of how much this club means to the fans. It would give the football league a chance to find out if the owners are serious with their plans of the new stadium which we are all unsure of at the moment.
It may be a bit pie in the sky, optimistic and take some organising but surely it would be an offer that the owners could not turn down, they say they want to keep the club in the city, they say they cannot deal with acl, they won't need to. How could the football league allow them to play at Northampton when they can play in the city at no cost to the club.
Any thoughts?
