    "My view is that football or no football, not enough is happening at the Ricoh Arena"

    Most of us are unable to discuss any issue without apportionng blame. I blame the media. Oops

    Will you?

    No credit at all. We all know if genuine offers had come in players would go. Our owners have their own agenda and financial calculations. They have to have players, after all. TBF. We have always been a selling club to a degree. Pity the club is at such a low ebb and the squad so small there...

    Stuff ACL and the council I'm fed up

    Sorry to rain on your parade but the answer is one word: DEBT. If we build a new stadium we have to borrow money or have new investors and, annoyingly, they expect to be paid back with interest. So most of the revenue streams go into servicing the debt. We also have to pay all the bills to...

    Marlon without a Club

    Maybe you should choose friends more carefully? That is the most pathetic excuse I have ever heard.

    NOPM to ACL Idea

    Since HMRC also voted against the CVA should we all stop paying all our taxes, refuse to buy fuel because of the duty, refuse to buy alcohol or cigarettes which have duty on, any goods which have VAT etc? ACL had to pursue a creditor, legally bound to do so. SISU did not have to take the club...

    Preston ticket sales

    The issue should not be what the attendance is at Sixfields but what it could have been at the Ricoh for the same fixture. sixfields = 3,000 Ricoh = 11,500 Sixfields = 3,500 Ricoh = 12, 500. See what I'm doing here? Every small rise at Sixfields would mean a much bigger rise at the...

    Preston ticket sales

    Mustang, easterngreen and northeast, Please understand that NOPM is not, primarily, about trying to force SISU out by starving them of money. It is about, we will not watch home games outside Coventry. Do you see the difference? You are right that the first one may not "work" You are wrong...

    Show me the NOPM campaign is working...

    FWIW I think SISU will move the club to wherever they can do a deal that keeps the club alive. They didn't PLAN to move to Northampton, it was the nearest place that would have them. If they get a better offer they will go somewhere else in 3 years. If not, we will be homeless in 5 years and...

    Show me the NOPM campaign is working...

    Just to reply to the Dudley suggestion ... where I live. Dudley has Wolves, WBA, Walsall & Villa a stone's throw outside the borough. Look on a map. Blues & Kidderminster are close too. Everyone here supports those teams.

    Show me the NOPM campaign is working...

    Mustang, it really is very simple: The owners cannot do anything without fans. They need our money. They are not getting my money until they return the club to Coventry. That's it. They must return or sell or liquidate. We cannot second guess their plans or how things will pan out. We can...

    See you at the Preston game?

    Some people are mistaken if they believe NOPM is merely a strategy to starve SISU of funds? It isn't my main reason for NOPM. To me it may or may not force SISU to sell or return to Coventry. It probably won't "work". However, it will make the point that loyal supporters are not willing to...

    See you at the Preston game?

    I will stick to NOPM. I am going to go to at least one away game per month to keep my support "live". I will not abuse those who go to Sixfields but it is disappointing as I believe SISU and Otium are taking us for mugs. If they cannot get the Ricoh or permission to build a new stadium they...

    Not A PENNY MORE

    Only the most literalist NOPM supporter would not attend a Wembley final IMO. After all, it is not a home match. OK some money would find its way to the club but that cannot be avoided. I think some are making mischief here. You cannot expect everyone to take an exact position or you end up...

    Should Baker come back in?

    Baker will come straight back in. He is captain and senior player. SP said it on Saturday interview with Geoff. Young players need to be nursed through when they start their first team stint.

    Time for common sense from us fans!

    If CCFC ever sell out Sixfields it is safe to say they would have got double, x3 or x4 that total for the same game at the Ricoh. So, it makes zero commercial sense to be playing there. Unless that is not their short term aim? Think about it.

    Time for common sense from us fans!

    SISU will be laughing at us even more than now.

    Stuart Linnell is a Muppet !!!

    As I see it NOPM is very simple. Fans do not give any money to the club until 1) the team plays home games in Coventry Some fans add a second aim 2) SISU sell up and leave. Now, as with any campaign there will be a range of approaches from literalist/ fundamentalists who go to great...

    Stuart Linnell is a Muppet !!!

    I think Linnell has not yet admitted that the NOPM fans make up about 90%. He seems to give the impression that it is split pretty evenly. As such he misrepresents the feelings of the fans. Someone needs to ask him directly, "Stuart, do you accept the vast majority of fans support NOPM?" Then...

    Stuart Linnell is a Muppet !!!

    I agree that Linnell was not fair and balanced tonight. I stopped the car and listened very closely. Try listen again at 35 to 45 minutes in. He was sympathetic and courteous to the chap who spoke about enjoying the match at Northampton and, kind of congratulated him for being a loyal fan. When...
