The analogy doesn't really stack up though and we cannot really reduce this to a residential landlord/tenant dispute for reasons that are obvious. Also, we all know that the JR appeal is now nothing more than a bargaining chip, and they will hold on to that for as long as it suits them and...

Those suggesting that this is just smoke and mirrors are perhaps understating the significance of this statement. They are losing face here - for so long they said they would never return to the Ricoh under a rental arrangement, now they say they will - that is a huge about turn and I can only...

It is worrying that people are still having the 'true fan' debate! I waded into one or two of them last season and it made part of my brain dissolve. It's a new season I guess I ought to show a bit of enthusiasm. Today has lifted my spirits a bit, guess that applies to quite a few others...

I gave up on SBT when it occurred to me that most of the people on here are crazy. I decided to give it another go and the first post I read was from Mr Creosote, so I figure I was probably right all along!

Yeah, SISU overstated the crowds by 5000 every week so that they could pay more to HMRC than they needed to. Right up their street that.

Someone having a go at our away support? In this of all seasons? Fuck me. So what if yesterday was a bit flat, it happens from time to time. For every game where the vocal support is a little below par I'll give you 10 where it is excellent. We've received so many compliments for our vocal...

I think it is understood by everyone that any leasehold purchase would effectively involve the purchase of the current leaseholder i.e. ACL. Have SISU ruled that out completely? Not heard that. It would be odd considering that the deal on the table before the council's bail-out was for SISU...

The only thing that keeps you interested is your hatred of Seppala? Not your love of the club? Wow. It's clear that for some people seeing SISU fail is more important than the club itself. These are the people who would be mortified if SISU acquired ownership of the Ricoh. And they call...

That was the statement, yes. But there have been a couple of times recently where SISU have hinted at leasehold, something was said at the SCG meeting along the lines of 'a long enough leasehold is as good as freehold'. Is that out of the question too? Because EVERYTHING she has said in...

Why? SISU have hinted a number of times recently that a long leasehold is not out of the question and that they would be happy to get independent valuations. The truth is, ACL do not want to sell, freehold or leasehold - they only want a new rent deal. In which case, come out publicly and...

A FA cup quarter final would sell out whoever we were playing. It was a virtual home end sell out against Middlesbrough in the 3rd round FFS. What exactly is it that people are debating here? Of course lowering prices has a positive impact on crowds, but then so does success (or the prospect...

Memorable games at the Ricoh were few and far between, but there were a few notable exceptions, especially in the first couple of seasons when crowds rarely dipped below 20,000. Missed the Blackburn game because I was living overseas, but I remember Coleman after describing it as the best match...

Behave. Won't make the slightest bit of difference. Just like that 3 term Labour government that did fuck all for the Hillsborough families. Can't believe people would use this to score cheap party political points.

I understand all the Sixfields hate, of course I do, but all this nonsense about the pitch makes no sense really. Have people really forgot the shocking state of the Ricoh pitch last season? Had it not been such a dry winter I am sure games would have been called off last term. Given the...

Trent Bridge Inn is walkable from station, but you're going past the ground and over the bridge so if arriving by train I would drink in the town or Hooters (their door policy does say kids are allowed in, but I don't know if that is different on matchdays because I didn't go in there last season).

I always smile when people talk about the 'reintroduction' of terracing when tens of thousands of people stand on terracing at football grounds every week. There is still terracing in the Championship. We still have it, and it is fine, so why the need for 'studies'? Fuck-wits.

I think they allow kids in during the day.

Weather doesn't look that bad. Some rain overnight tonight and tomorrow,, but sun will be shining Sat morning, according to the MET office anyway.

Keep going chaps. We'll get there in the end. Am a bit concerned by the small numbers. Given that a fair chunk of those signatures are from fans of others clubs, you do wonder why fewer City fans have signed it than were at the Peterborough game at Sixfields, this despite all the publicity it...
