If it wasn't such a serious and sad situation, the naivety of that comment would actually be quite sweet.

I'd check the book-keeping a bit more closely. I think you'll find that the debt will still exist, just in a different entity within the structure.

Except that isn't true is it. SISU have applied to take proceedings against the council for providing a loan to the stadium using public funding. I gather that Northampton council are providing funding for the work to be done to Sixfields - no doubt SISU's lawyers are drawing up the papers...

There's little doubt that a successful team would encourage some to go back - probably encourage a few of the new locals to go too. For others - myself included - it'll still be away games only.

I don't wish to start another poll, but is there anyone who seriously believes that we will start the 2016/17 season (I.e. in 3 years time) in a newly built ground in (or very close to) Cov?

The OP's point is bluntly that if people don't agree with him they shouldn't post here - you may agree, I don't. I agree that this is not MK Dons 2. With MK Dons the point was to move a football team. The point here seems to be everything to do with attempting to obtain a property asset on...

Why not start a site that only allows people who make happy posts about how well everything is going at the club and what fun it'll be at Northampton. It'll be so much easier for you to ignore reality then.

Agreed. I'll still be going to the away games that I can get to. I'll probably supplement those with the odd games at my local teams (Shrewsbury, Telford and Wolves), but I guess that over time I'll probably just end up watching less live football - unless Coventry Phoenix takes off!

I can only speak for myself (and my family). I (we) won't be going to Northampton. Ever.

That is a real concern. Even if we ignore reality and pretend that there's a snowball in hell's chance of Timmy's new stadium being built in 3 years - how many will have lost "the bug" forever by then?

That made me wince....

Sad sad day. Only bright point is that I no longer have to panic when the wife says she's booked a holiday or a weekend away in case it clashes with a home game. I'll go to as many of the away games as I can, but will never watch a "home" game at Northampton - oh and to save anyone the...

Sorry - I had to stop reading at "as Fisher has stated". I'm guessing it was something about unicorns.......

As I've posted previously, I think we have to persuade them that we are not "at the bottom of the business cycle" as TF said at the forums - but rather, if they go ahead with the move to Northampton, they will look back on the current time as a land of milk and honey. We have to starve them of...

I don't think that we can be defeatist. We know their track record (in no small part due to your efforts), but I think that our main hope is that football clubs "are different". Despite us now being a third division club, there is gradually a bit of media awareness starting to grow about our...

Lucky for her that she's found something she's good at. Unlucky for us that she's so bad at running businesses.

Ranson's famous "we are debt free" comments were silly at best. I was never sure of the point of them. Told as many porkies as Fisher - Not sure that many people in the world could claim that :) I agree that Ranson should have negotiated early on the rent, but can't agree that that somehow...

Try reading the post again Lord. I agreed that he had a major tole in getting SISU in. I'm afraid that in the real world that does not make him responsible for their every action forever. Was he involved in the disastrous attempt at negotiating with ACL, has he been fronting discussions...

Many people and factors are responsible for SISU being here, but I would agree that Ranson is one of the major ones. To then say that that makes him responsible for all of SISU's actions - years after he left - is frankly a bit silly. SISU are responsible for all of this.

SISU are responsible for all of this.
