In my (much earlier) 11-a-side playing days we once had a manager who wouldn't even let us wear a vest under our kit. Even worse, we had the thinnest short-sleeves-only shirts that year. Tough season. I probably mocked those who wore gloves - I definitely hammered anyone who wore coloured...

Spot on. The simple fact is that they'll lose more money at sixfields in front of 2000 than they would have at the Ricoh in front of 12000, even at the original rent figure. And then they'll load another ton of debt on the club to build a new, smaller stadium. (Possibly. If they build it...

Straight question OSB, under what law could NTFC claim damages or costs from ACL? The case hasn't actually gone to court, has it - it's been withdrawn. Not having a go here, but I've never heard of anyone being able to raise a claim for hurt feelings, and there's no lost business here that I...

Cardoza wants sympathy and 'costs' for defending a legal action that never even started? Bollocks. If he doesn't get his grubby hands involved, then he doesn't have to worry, and there's actually a chance that SISU and ACL work something out. As for him sueing ACL, on what basis? The case...

Just part of the process. The liquidator is supposed to investigate the conduct of the directors, but on that form Appleton has applied to be liquidator. I think it's subject to a vote whether he's accepted or not, if he is then who knows how thorough that investigation will be.

No problem with that. I'm used to everyone disagreeing with me, and I can see what you're saying. ;) At the end of the day, no one listens to either of us anyway - we're just the fans! Hope you have a good weekend, regardless of where you spend (or don't spend) your money. :)

Because if you liquidate, you get nothing. If you sell, you get something. The only reason I can see for liquidating, is if you can't sell. It appears there might be buyers out there.

Why a small proportion? Do you sit at home on a Saturday now, doing nothing? How many do? If you go out-of-town shopping you're still spending money (possibly at Arena Park!), and you still have to put petrol in your car or catch a bus. Again, there's no effort here at coming to this...

I can't see why development of the land depends on the club being there, indeed it might be worth more as something entirely different, like housing or commercial. It might be that the Ricoh businesses are in decline, but I don't think either the exhibition or the casino side of the place is...

Even if the 10,000 people did nothing but sit at home every weekend for the twenty odd games, which clearly they don't, where does 50 - 125m come from? The truth surely is that a significant proportion still spend some money hereabouts on a Saturday, indeed they might even increase their...

Some intersting points there, but I'm not sure about money pouring in... In any case, Joy herself said 40% equity, 60% debt. On a £20m stadium that leaves £12m for the club to find. Even at 3% p.a. that's £800,000 per year over 20 years if I've done my figures correctly. Even without...

Sits next to Tim at Sixfields. Couldn't put together a credible bid because of problem with email. Demands Council sell Arena. I suspect either a plant, or a dreamer. Other than appearing in the media from time to time he's done nothing to appear even vaguely plausible. I'd tend to agree if...

What if it wasn't an old boy calling you a scab, Nick? What if it was a few lads, big enough to make even you a bit nervous maybe. I think it's pretty pathetic that fans need to call each other names at all. If a word is being said to cause offence or threaten, then why is it wrong to take...

So you're cool with the whole muppets/scabs thing, are you Nick? What if you weren't one of those giving it, are you supposed to take it nonetheless?

So you and Nick, and possibly others are seemingly now on a NOPM campaign against ACL? You wouldn't support any protest action that took people to the Ricoh? I'm genuinely interested, what are you going to do if the club comes back to the Ricoh (with or without SISU) and ACL are still there -...

It's time to challenge this utter bollocks. The people who stand on the hill aren't muppets. The people who go into sixfields aren't scabs. If you use either of these terms, you're not helping. If you've got an argument to make, then make it, but lay off the pathetic playground name calling.

I'm so glad this isn't a cheap, tacky, poorly acted, lazily written piece of sh*te that's going to drag the city's name into the gutter. Oh.

As I recall, Warwick Uni has already got pretty decent sports facilities. Good enough for the Academy, said Fisher (until it turned it that it actually wasn't). So I don't think the Uni would be too keen from that point of view. And the rather wealthy residents certainly wouldn't, or Tesco at...

In fairness, I absolutely take the point on this. It could well be that playing without the pressure of even a half-decent crowd, or needing to achieve anything beyond survival, is helping a very young set of players. If we do start to struggle I suspect that gates wil simply decline even...

'Head slightly above the parapet'? I think you've gone a bit beyond that mate. Personally speaking, I salute you for having the bottle and determination to keep at it. I've given up doing anything beyond not going and complaining on here!
