Shows he has a good sense of value then :)

I think that ESB's "£2.50 and a bag of chips" is probably a more realistic valuation of the business. Perhaps even a little generous, I'd have gone for £2.50 or a bag of chips!

Plus he does have an affinity with our football club.

According to their website they're selling tickets on the day, so as long as you're not wearing colours and don't have a CCFC tattoo on your forehead you should be OK.

Seriously, that can't be their plan. If it was, SISU would have them in court for breach of copyright.

Fascinated to find out who "the main instigator of NOPM" is. Do tell.

From Fawlty Towers - Sybil: "A satisfied customer" Basil: "Should we have him stuffed?"

Women can be very difficult to please........

Bugger, also left Cardiff, Oxford and Rotherham off the list. Hadn't realised how many old grounds had gone.....

It was the footie. Lived in Bristol for a few years and saw a few games at Eastville (and Ashton Gate) when I couldn't get to City games. Remember seeing City play there in a friendly/testimonial just after Bobby Gould (ex Rovers manager) took over at City the first time. As I recall Gouldy...

As you know, initially it was about avoiding giving a share of the sale to CCFC/SISU/Otium (whichever you prefer). Increasingly it seems to be about dealing with a website that is available and working or with a ticket office that generally answers the phone.

Bugger, left Bristol Rovers off the list :facepalm:

Got me thinking about the grounds I'd been to that are no longer there - off the top of my head: Arsenal Southampton Brighton Derby Leicester Shrewsbury Bolton Walsall Chester (I think they moved?) Stoke Plus of course, Coventry!

From the Shrewsbury website - Online sales have been suspended but phone Shrewsbury Town v Coventry City Saturday 31st August On line ticket sales for this fixture have been stopped as the club have identified that away fans have been attempting to purchase tickets in home areas and the...

Ah, the spirit of Oscar Wilde lives on......

Really? We're bottom of the third division with negative points, under a transfer embargo, have no ground in or near our home city to play in and yet our next game was sold out to City fans more than a week before the match, with other fans trying to get tickets into the home parts of the...

Well TF has been very clear that SISU have budgeted to make up the lost income and he was given pretty clear feedback at the forums in the summer as to the way that the majority of his customer base would react. Not sure I follow your conclusion. Seems to be that because being in Northampton is...

To be fair, Gillespie moved under freedom of contract and as I understand the club offered him a fortune (in the terms of the early 80's!!) to stay. Oddly, he decided he'd be better off at Liverpool.... The general point stands though - and probably always will.

I am not a particular fan of our current regime, but being realisic, whoever owns us (unless Roman gets bored of Chelsea...) we will continue to be a selling club. Personally, I still haven't got over the sale of Dennis Mortimer!! Just hope that when we sell our more marketable players we try...

Not at all. TF has repeatedly stated that SISU have budgeted to fund the shortfall in income due to the move to Northampton. As explained above, all they have to do is to provide this in the form of additional equity and there will be no problem with meeting the guidelines.
