Cant disagree with that.

Well the club shouldn't have cut its maintenance budget then should it?

Well they took on the CCFC groundsmen so you can only assume they have kept up pitch maintenance.

There are basically two ways to run a football club. 1. Spend excessively and eventually it will pay off, providing the owner is willing to put in enough in the mean time. (the Cardiff, Leicester, QPR approach). 2. Spend within means and build slowly and gradually. Be sensible with transfers...

You really don't like the Charity do you?

Yes, the Ricoh. Northampton chairman is nothing but a money grabbing bastard with no regard for the basic principles of the English game.

So the better owner is the one who has turned an average Championship team into a mid table League 1 team, whilst only taking out £1.26m in interest a year. As opposed to the crap owner who turns an average Championship team into a promotion chasing Championship team whilst taking out £5m...

Had their owners claimed to have taken nothing out as well?

I agree that there is no reason why they shouldn't charge interest, however does it not call into question the accuracy of the constantly regurgitated statement "Sisu have taken nothing out of the Football Club"?

Seems we're not going to get to see them. That is unless Companies House force them. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-football-club-holdings-6273229

Exactly. At my work we have the legally required audit once a year. However we've also had Auditors in at other times to see if we can improve our processes. An Audit is a broad term and doesn't always mean the legally required one.

Slightly emotive language being used then. Illegal is generally once an unlawful act has been committed and proven in a court of law.

Could you clarify how it was illegal exactly?

And that highlights why I get annoyed when people who attended the JPT Semi were branded as plastics. There is a world of difference between those that turned up to see the Chelsea team in the FA Cup and those that went to see Crewe. The non regulars that went to the Crewe game went...

Anyway, regardless of their reasons, thousands of city fans are not going to Sixfields, that otherwise would if we were at the Ricoh. That's the only thing that matters.

If you live on the eastern side of Coventry then Northampton is no more difficult to get to than Brum. (By car at least anyway)

I was on about the poor view in the lower tier, good view from upper tier, and large queues.

Sounds like the West Stand at Highfield Road.

May I ask why you think people cant be arsed to travel to Northampton, yet greater numbers have travelled to Wolves, Port Vale, Walsall etc? I don't mean to sound patronising but as you say you don't live around here. Your opinion of city fans is based on what is said on here. I cant tell you...

It would be a test to see what the players are really like. Good players don't crumble under pressure. If they aspire to be the best they would love playing in front of 20k at the Ricoh.
