First question is that I honestly don't know, but they will have to turn the tap off at some point as they don't have a bottomless pit of money surely? This is why I think something will give long before 2018/19 (which was what the other poster was suggesting was their target time period for...

I was thinking more of the logistics than the cut off for applications, and also the appetite is not there just yet, but give it another 12 months and that will change.

It comes down to this, do you really think they will deliberately lose tens of millions over 5 years simply as a tactic to possibly shave a million or two off the purchase price of the Ricoh? What they are doing now is a calculated gamble, and yes, we can only speculate as to their true motive...

I see no harm in starting to put these things in place now. It's practically 2014, so probably too late for next season, so the earliest we might see a new club is for the 2015/16 season, and I think the vast majority will have had enough by then (especially if we don't see a new stadium rising...

You make some good points. My post was a reaction to the post that suggested that I had made the 'most naive post in years'. We were speculating as to what SISU's motive are. I was speculating that they have no real intention of building a new ground. What they want is the Ricoh as a...

I remember the incident (or at least the Oldham players reaction to it), but like most missed the actual offence. It was off the ball, so I suspect either an elbow or a stamp.

How can the same people who go apeshit when we score at places like Wolves and MK Dons not care about the results at Sixfields? I know plenty who won't go there, but they will all have been dancing around their living rooms when Wilson banged in the 4th against Peterborough. At some point we...

I would imagine so given that the away end holds 6000. We have sold about 2500, so I would expect maybe 3500. Barnsley I imagine won't muster more than 5000-6000 for this so it will be quite a strange atmosphere.

I am right in thinking that the ironic use of the term 'superfan' now extends to those that travel to away games?

Behave. We're talking about the purchase of the stadium management company on a leasehold basis (they'll never get the freehold and they know it), and the true market value (given the council's own estimates) is well below the potential sell on price for the stadium and club AS A PACKAGE. They...

No doubt, I think the vast majority will take less than that. Just disappointing for us all things considered. Hear Rotherham is good for getting a drink, plenty of pubs close by. Looking forward to it.

Barnsley is bound to have an effect for sure, but we had a similar situation last season, MK Dons away followed by Spurs a few days later and we took 5000 to both. Ah well, people have their reasons I suppose.

I try not to be too cynical about these things, but you do wonder if the club keep this information from us so that they get their 5% on ticket sales! Either that or the email was lost in the Xmas post...

Just has this email from Rotherham: I'd just like to inform you that the game against Coventry City is not all ticket. It was originally planned to be all ticket but a message was passed on to Coventry on Tuesday 24th December that this was no longer the case. If this has not been...

The only way out of this mess (that I can see) is for SISU to buy the Ricoh and sell it on. They will not walk away and hand the club over, but they might walk away and liquidate the whole thing. That would be bad no? I don't think they need the freehold, but I think they would take leasehold...

Yet it is less than Swindon which was 4 days before Xmas, the same sort of distance and the most expensive ground in the league - and also one we have been to a number of times before. The poor numbers to Rotherham are a bit baffling to be honest.

Fine. Your agenda (given that you oppose the idea of CCFC owning the Ricoh) is to force the club out of business. That is your stated preference, fine if you're honest about it. It's a bit rich though for you to use the term 'selfish' when you openly admit you want the club to die. Called me...

Yep, I changed my mind. It's allowed. Your final point makes no sense. Nobody would support the club is they stayed there. There is no franchise and never will be. We all want a return to Coventry asap, but that will only happen in one of two ways - SISU buy the Ricoh or the club dies...

Oh please. Selfish? What I do has no impact whatsoever on you or your feelings. What you do is up to you, you can go to Sixfields or not go, either way it will have no impact whatsoever on when the club returns. The whole thing is a disgrace that is not of mine or your making, so I will not...

Perhaps I'm just getting old. Do people still go out on New Year's Eve in a big way? Just had this game down for a nailed-on big following. We take 3500 to Vale but only 1000 to Rotherham? Ah well, I'm sure we'll still make a racket.
