Sisu didn't move the club to Sixfields because it would make them a shedload of cash. They knew it would cost them a huge amount of money regardless of the attendances, and so I don't believe the size of the crowds is a factor in their thinking at all.

Football club owners who don't want fans, there you have it.

Nope, that is nonsense... of course they do.

Nail on head.

Agreed. But like Valiant says above, if the attendances were zero, surely something would have to happen?

To line the pocket of a franchised club?

Can't be bothered to worry about someone else's club.
Particularly as AFC Wimbledon have gone through it, seemed to have got over it, plan a new 20,000 seater stadium and hopefully will go past MKDons in the next few seasons. I'll shed a tear for them when it happens.

They have moved our club there to try and get the Ricoh on the cheap. This would make them a lot of money. So I will have to disagree.

Yes, so they won't let a few fans not going sway them because the Ricoh is the ultimate goal, not getting lots of fans into Sixfields.

Not any wonder people who go don't give ratings really is it, when the same tedious shit gets repeated over and over again.

Do we need ratings? From what Pressley said everyone was around five except maybe Wilson and Phillips who injected a bit of energy.

Re Sixfields I'm no SISU fan. no idea if low crowds will affect their thinking, but can't think of a better protest but to stay away. But I want the team to do well, surely low attendance winning team highlights our protest, backed with increased away support.

We need Cov in Cov...SISU owning the Ricoh? if a deal could be reached Id give them a chance....better than some crap Lego stadium and the debt of building it. Better than renting Sixfields.

With a hardworking squad pushing for play offs the Ricoh would be a fab venue. It needs to be priced for good family value...priced so the seats sell.

Let's get some pride back in the City!

When the atch was in Coventry I always contributed to the player ratings thread.. but not seen matches this season due to geographical shenanigans.

I've never been much for away matches..
