Will be there with the whole family tomorrow. I'll join in with the anti-SISU stuff for sure, but I'll reserve a little of my venom for when I walk past the Council House too. Should be some good photo ops - in Broadgate and also from the bottom of FGS as everyone walks down there. Will be...

True enough. Wear one to the gym, that's about it. Pensioners in replica shirts always looks wrong to me, and then there are the full-kit wankers:

In other words you want us to play in Northampton because it makes your prefered outcome (liquidation) much more likely. Deep down then you must welcome the prospect of the club relocating?

I was at that Chelsea game. Only 8000 there for a PL game, and they were playing in a cup final just 2 weeks later.

Population wise it isn't. It's the 17th largest urban area in the country, less than half the size of Nottingham for example. Yes, we have satellite towns, but so do places like Leicester which also has surrounding towns in addition to an already much bigger urban area. 'CIty' populations are...

Coventry is not a 'huge place', the urban area is smaller than Bournemouth. Absolute myth. And you're wrong about our gates too: http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/covc.htm

Agree with your opening point, but not sure I share your downer on our support. We averaged over 20,000 in ourt last 4 Premiership seasons in a ground that didn't hold much more than 22K, and there were always clubs in the PL getting lower gates than us. We turned out in numbers after our move...

After Effects I imagine, you can knock up things like that fairly quickly. Not belittling the effort, but you'd be amazed at the sort of quality you can achieve by buying an AE titles package from VideoHive for 5 quid.

How can you force SISU back to the negotiating table if ACL refuse to recognise them as the rightful owners of the football club? Strangely though, many people urge ACL 'stand their ground', which pretty much guarantees that no talks about playing games at the Ricoh can take place. The longer...

This thread is full of contradictions. Those people who claim they want to save the club are also urging people not to attend games at Sixfields? I'm not sure how they reconcile that. So what do they think this is going to achieve? Starving the club of cash will a. make any prospect of even...

To be fair, we've had quite a bit of coverage on Midlands Today recently. Reckon they'll be a big media presence for the march on Saturday.

I'm not suggesting that it isn't at least possible that we won't return - that is a very real concern and we should therefore do everything we can to keep the club here. If it doesn't return then the club will die - I just don't believe the 'franchise' idea has any merit for the reasons given...

I'd say it was much closer to Brighton, Rotherham, Bristol Rovers and Charlton - and even then it isn't all that similar to any of them which were all unique situations in their own way. It's a million miles from the Wimbledon scenario if you ask me, but then I guess if people say it often...

Nothing, other than the fact that Irthlingborough and Rushden cannot sustain league football (as has been proven already), and as very few City fans would stick with the club in that scenario, it would leave them with a club that was barely viable with no prospect of ever achieving the kind of...

Apologies, I missed it. Clearly, there will come a time when ACL would have to review their business model, and if the exile looks as though it might well be years then of course, you would expect that they would look to adapt their facilities for different uses. This is why I think the one...

I was speaking to a Preston fan recently who told me that the atmosphere at the JPT game was the best he had ever experienced at this level - and to think there were only 12K there. I'm not the Ricoh's biggest fan, but there have been enough occasions where the place has genuinely rocked to...

But then I don't think a return is definite either - merely likely - but by no means certain which is why we should all fight tooth and nail to keep it here. To say, as some are, that if the club start the season in Northampton it is the end I think is premature and a bit defeatist. They are...

Already have on my last post - bottom of page 3. I didn't aim that comment at you personally, lots of others have made the same comparison, but it doesn't stand up to any sort of scrutiny really.

Initially no - their move to Selhurst Park was always seen as temporary, but their move to MK was permanent. Their unscrupulous and opportunistic chairman saw the chance to move the club to a large urban area with no professional football team and build the club into something bigger (which to...

How did Bristol Rovers and Brighton manage to return? They found a way. There is no future for the club in Northampton - we all know that - and for that reason we'll be back in Coventry before long - probably at the Ricoh, because unlike Robo I can't see any mileage in the new stadium plans...
