It seems that we agree that it is not a question of what they have the power to do, but a question of what they have the will to do.

Are you saying that the only sanction that the league can use against any of its members is to expel them? If so, I think that you are wrong. I think that the league has a number of things that it can do. Whether it has the courage to use them against a member that is perceived to be...

If a deal were to be done for the Ricoh, there would appear to be 3 possibilities: 1. A short term deal, pretty much along the lines proposed by ACL. This would allow SISU to benefit from increased revenues and would also massively reduce the risk of alienating a large part of the customer...

Well if ACL and their lease remained in place unchanged, what would be the point of owning the freehold?

We have quite a few that end up as Shambles. I guess it's not really the same thing..........

1&2 could be achieved by a leasehold agreement. I'm not quite sure what you mean by 3.

I can completely understand that stance, but it's the logical leap that this "must/can only" be achieved through freehold ownership that I have yet to see explained.

Why do you consider that to be perjorative? Mr Fisher has frequently stated that the only viable model (my paraphrase) is freehold ownership. It doesn't seem unreasonable to ask why this is so and to point out that "additional income streams" which have frequently been referenced in...

Perhaps your comments should be directed at Mr Fisher given the final paragraph of his comments.

Not One Pie More

Very sensible post. For me, the funniest post this season was a few days after the first "home" game when someone posted about how NOPM had failed because the next game was going to be in Northampton. If people honestly believe that SISU are indifferent to attendances at Sixfields (and...

I agree with almost all of that. My main difference is that whilst I agree that we fans cannot change the situation, I firmly believe that we can strongly influence it. There are few businesses that can indefinitely ignore the views of their customers - and this is not one. Even if SISU...

There was plenty of debate months ago, with the more rational pointing out that NOPM was a name covering a "broad church" - I particularly recall the posts (ironically) discussing whether there should be a High Priest of NOPM who could rule on the minutiae..... Personally at that time I said...

But your comments were very specifically about "attitudes changing". I guess that was different :)

Talking of attitudes changing - don't I recall that you've now attended Sixfields? Oh and before you ask, I won't be going to Arsenal.

Bumpetty bump :)

Because it is just a name. Are the only people allowed in the "Labour" party those who do manual work and women who are giving birth?

Irony is so much funnier when it's unintentional.

I'm assuming that there must be a prize for the 1,000th person to ask this question........

Have I missed the "accurate" figures?
