Article in cov telegraph saying of the 19 home games this season 42 thousand fans have come through the turnstiles this season, to put this in to perspective say if at the Ricoh we average 11k over 19 games 209,000k fans would of come through the turnstiles that's 5 times the amount at shitfeilds! And I think thats being genourous given the great early season form we were in in scoreing for fun playing exciteing football the average figure could be as high as 13-14k either way thats a unreal loss for any club to make let alone a leauge one club already saddled with debt. But wait I forgot about the pie sales.......
I think it's well established that it's not about money in the short term. Sisu are prepared to pay the price.
It's not about football either. But let me ignore that and do a totally different calculation:
This year we have played 19 games at Sixfields. 9 wins - 6 draws - 4 losses. We have gained 33 points equal to 1.74 point per game.
Last year the total home league result was 7 wins - 7 draws and 9 losses. We made a total of 28 points equal to 1.22 point per game.
If we had only managed 1.22 point per game this season we would have made 23 points - 10 points less than we actually have. We would be bottom of the league.
You can also state that playing at Sixfields have made up the points penalty for not playing at the Ricoh.
The numbers are correct (according to my abacus), but that way of wrapping arguments around numbers is just misdirection - or spin.
