Ah, sorry, I've read this as you saying that if the worst happened, and the club was liquidated, that that would be it for most if not all supporters. (A made-up scenario, btw). I've then suggested (or offered my opinion) that that might not be the case. And then you seem to have said that...

Yep - I'm not saying you're wrong, although I suspect that HR gradually grew as the club improved its status and following, whereas the Ricoh was very quickly too big for us. I don't remember HR, even in the 80s, ever feeling quite as empty as the Ricoh could. If this sounds like I'm...

No - it's not a fact in my imagination, it's an opinion. My opinion is that we'd pick up a fair degree of support - your opinion is that we won't. Your opinion is no better (or worse) than mine. But if the best argument that you can come up with is that my opinion is a 'fact' in my head...

The turnstile bars were painted Sky Blue (or did I just make that up?). I think it was the history that made it personal to me, rather than the decor. The Ricoh never saw a First Division/Premiership game for starters, so for me it kind of started off slowly and then went rapidly downhill...

Blimey, can I just say that I'm feeling a bit sorry for Torchy here - he's made a couple of not unreasonable points and he's being hammered. I mean, I hate the bloke, but I still feel obliged to be at least a tiny bit polite. ;)

I see what you're saying, but to be honest not owning the Ricoh never really bothered me. Not being able to get a pint at half-time, that ticked me off good and proper though. I used to console myself with the thought that the cash never made it back to the club anyway! If we ever get back...

In your opinion. Just because you wouldn't be arsed to go, doesn't mean that alot of other people wouldn't. We're getting 2,000 at Northampton. Like I say, I'd rather it didn't happen, but if it does it isn't necessarily the end.

To be honest, I hope that no one goes down the 'Conspiracy' road, as I don't think it's going to help us get back to the Ricoh. But since Labovitch seems to have implied that ACL and CCC might have conspired against SISU, I think it's only fair to consider the possiblity of the reverse option...

Resources from a fanbase far beyond that of most non-league clubs, and I daresay from a few local businesses. I don't want the club to go pop, but if it did I can't see that we couldn't work our way back up the pyramid.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not here - but I'd have thought if you're a taxpayer you would be thankful. Why should the Council have to pay their own costs? The judge decided that the JR failed, and on that basis SISU lost. The loser generally pays the winner's costs. It's a...

Couldn't comment on OpenCart, but I've got a few ideas/contacts for possible designers for you, perhaps (the company I work for is in the app/website business too, fwiw). PM me your email, if you like.

I've met Fisher, briefly, as have a few others on the forum I think. I don't care much for what has happened to the club under his reign, but if you met him on an individual basis I think most would find him amicable and intelligent. In truth I found myself rather embarassed, because when I...

Don't forget the link, or Simon gets beaten. ;) http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/peterborough-winger-danny-swanson-having-7357682

Which leads me to two (moderately) interesting points. 1) Have CCFC declared JS as a director to the FL, which I think they are obliged to do even if she's a 'shadow' director (Section 3, Owners' and Directors' Test...

It's not a million miles away, that. I think there might be a bit of arm-wrestling over the F&B, because as mentioned that belongs to the company set up with Compass. But as you say, they're getting nothing at the moment. This is the key to negotiation though, everyone has to give a bit, no...

I'd agree with this in part, both sides clearly do better with each other in place. But I don't think that dropping an unreasonable demand is a likely basis for being given a peppercorn rent and the 50% of revenue which was previously sold. I can't see anyone settling for that. But coming...

Aside from moral arguments regarding contracts and law etc. and the fact that (like it or not) the taxpayer is invested in ACL, the way that SISU deal or don't deal with ACL should be of huge interest to any fan of CCFC. It's because it's key to playing football in the city. It also patently...

It's a strawman argument, the OP. People aren't openly celebrating the likely demise of the club. Some people are happy to see SISU lose, because they think this was a case without foundation, brought with the primary intent to financially distress ACL rather than on any point of principle...

It's a whole new model. Other clubs play with a "False 9"... http://www.thefalse9.com/2013/09/football-tactics-for-beginnersthe-false.html ... we've expanded the theory to include a "Bogus 2" and an "Invisible 3". Expect more to follow. SP and SISU, always one move ahead. ;)

In fairness to Robo, I've got no proof that what he says isn't correct, and his opinion is at least as valid as mine (possibly more valid, if you accept that this is also the official line from the club). Happy to agree to differ on this - the only way we'll know for sure is if the legal fees...
