True - and I did go to the Burton JPT game. Won't be going to Sixfields though.

The classic way of valuing a business is that it is the sum of it's discounted expected future cash flows. So it depends what those expectations are. If the cash flows are expected to be lower without the lease, the value will be lower. If it is expected that other larger revenue...

I'm pretty sure that Spurs away was a midweek game and was followed by (what I have now been reminded was) Wimbledon on the Saturday. As I recall John "the flying postman" Williams scored (possibly both?) at Spurs. We then played Spurs quite soon afterwards in what I think was our first...

It's quite possible that SISU are trying to distress ACL and failing. In fact, given their track record in all things CCFC related, isn't that the most likely situation? :)

I've got a pretty full collection of programmes going back to the 60's - strangely none from this season :)

Memory is fading a bit, but I thought we were top after winning the first 3 games. I remember the first game was at home to M'boro and then we won at Spurs. Can't remember who the third game was though.......

The "Donkey Kick" goal game - beating the champions 3-1. Man City 3-2 when Colin Stein made his home debut and the great Tommy Hutch made his debut. Several games from 77/78, including Norwich (5-4), Chelsea (5-1), Man City (4-2) and the 1-0 win over Liverpool with 10 men, featuring one of the...

Without going over any of the usual debates, I'm not sure that we should be too surprised. On or two of the older posters on the site did post in the early heady days of the season that we should take a cautionary look back at Bobby Gould's first season in charge. Then a very inexperienced...

A small step in the right direction.

Difficult to say. Personally, I think that had we kept or replaced King we would have had an OK season - but we'll never know.... The only point that I was trying to make is that whilst controlling expenditure is "a good thing", this is dependant on the overall context in which this is taking...

I think that the point is that you need a coherent and rational business plan. Simply "driving down expenditure" can do more harm than good. As things currently stand, I'm finding it difficult to discern what that plan is. You're comment sounds good, but we've been "driving down...

Do you not agree that if you drive expenditure down by £1, but in the process lose revenue of £2, that you are worse off?

Speaking as an accountant who can't be bothered to put in the effort that he does - I'm very grateful for his succinct analysis.

Really can't see that. You'll always find someone willing to a pay a few million.

Quite honestly FP, I have no idea. Normally you try to predict the future by assuming that people will act rationally - which would suggest one of my two alternative scenarios - but we are playing at Sixfields....

I would have to question the use of "inevitable". There are other options. SISU could see sense and reverse their ridiculous decision to move to Northampton, or they could decide that they are still not "at the bottom of the business cycle" (copyright TF) and sell for a reasonable price. Or...

Bet they wish it was "only" 33% from 2013 to 2014!

Stranger things have happened. But not many......:D

Splitters!!!!!

The game with the unusual "hat-trick" from Garry Thompson. One of the best atmospheres I can remember at HR.
