Didn't a club get into serious hot water for fiddling the numbers a while ago? Think someone lowered their attendance to make money owed through gate numbers less than it should have been.

Not sure SISU actually made an offer just agreed heads of terms and then just walked away. Tim made an inaccuracy about this which may be where the confusion arises.

I actually think it could have done before SISU went on their rent boycott. That destroyed any trust between the council and SISU, had they negotiated instead of trying to distress ACL things could probably have been different. If the tenants in my flat stop paying rent after 2 months the...

To stop some bunch like SISU exploiting it, a very long lease as PaxmanII said a while ago is fine for the club as it would be offered at a far lower annual rent.

I actually now think that the Ricoh was the ultimate goal, the club is now just a means to an end. Had it been successful then great that would have been sold for a profit but the Stadium was a far juicier target. As I said in another thread I can see the Higgs charity becoming a target of the...

I've said it before I think the club should own a long lease (like the one ACL have only longer) on the Ricoh, the entire place if that means the club buying ACL and operating it as a wholly owned subsidiary then great. I just don't think that should be done whilst we're owned by SISU.

And the only way that will happen appears to be when SISU have gone. If they wanted to build up trust again why not take the rent and revenues that were on offer as a sign of good faith? They could have done so many things to keep us in Coventry and they just didn't instead they're taking us 35...

So we have to starve them out, it seems like the only thing they understand is money (cause it sure as sh1t ain't football) and maybe an acute shortage of that will make them rethink their plans?

And SISU had the chance to purchase half of ACL, they had it since they bought the club and did they act on this chance? Yes they entered talks with the Higgs after going on the rent boycott and then walked away. They can't say they weren't offered the opportunity because they were and they...

Surely you can't be condoning physical violence, that's not nice and a criminal offence to boot. Now ritual humiliation like having to go to an empty stadium every other week because of your stupid actions as chief executive of a football club that I can condone.

No I'm not missing the point (and there really is no need for repeated language like that), the stuff you posted is Crown Copyright that's the point!

Not in my book, you're a copyright infringer - I do hope you're not working for my solicitors, not London based are you?

No it was the desire to get the Ricoh on the cheap that caused the groundshare, they thought they'd call ACL's bluff at the same time as starting legal action. SISU are using our club's return to the Ricoh as a bargaining chip and holding us fans hostage. SISU had the opportunity to purchase a...

And this one. :facepalm:

Have you ever heard of copyright infringement as you missed the © 2012 Crown copyright off your post. :facepalm:

Thanks for the support greatly appreciated and anything saying SISU Out would be fantastic. However If you don't want to go to Sixfields they'll be a cracking Charity match kicking off an hour earlier at our home in Coventry. Tickets are a fiver, three for kids, concs etc. would be...

Can you really see SISU agreeing to that? Can't use the handshakes defence if it's recorded.

Might be interesting after Sunday to see what the SISU stance is like with regards returning to the Ricoh depending on how many attend each stadium. As I see it the club is being used a bargaining chip to gain access to the freehold of the Ricoh and the fans are being held hostage. SISU I think...

Shows people don't want to Travel to Northampton.

They take mobile ones to capture fans arriving outside the ground, pitch side interviews etc.
