It has to be in the Coventry urban area (FL are clear on this) as defined here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_and_Bedworth_Urban_Area So they'd get away with being just over the city boundary or in exhall, Bedworth or Binley Woods. The FL (by their own rules) could not sanction Rugby...

Free travel provision is only compulsory for season ticket holders if you relocate mid-season. If people buy a ST knowing where the club will be playing, then I am sure that it is not something they have to provide - but that isn't to say they won't. I suspect there might be special trains too.

No probs. I've done the same many times. What happened at Wimbledon was a disgrace, but there is no prospect of a similar thing happening here IMO - that's my point, because the circumstances are entirely different.

With respect you have missed the point in spectacular fashion. The issue is not about the rights and wrongs of what happened there (the wrongs, because there were no rights), I am talking about the circumstances which led to that move, namely that there was no rule against what they did at the...

Funnily enough was talking about this yesterday. Tickets still available so might pop along to that.

Ashes start on Wednesday fella. Always did prefer cricket. Anyway, which stand you getting a season ticket in? The Jim Bowen Stand? Or is it Dave? Not sure, but it'll be rocking in there. No? I'll get me coat...

Err...the fact that it is not allowed, and the fact that Milton Keynes had a population of 250K and no football team. I'm not sure what people mean when they talk about a franchise - where do you think they will take us? Northampton can just about sustain one league club as it is.

Have to agree. If I ever choose to follow this type of club it will be a proper phoenix club that is seen as the spiritual continuation of CCFC and one which takes the club's traditional fan base with it. Nothing against CU or Sphinx - nothing wrong with having strong non-league clubs in the...

Ah OK. Just that somebody mentioned tier 9 and I know Sphinx are tier 9.

But next season is going to cost them a fortune, why would they chuck more money at this mess only to walk off into the sunset? With what? Surely, they either genuinely believe they can build a new ground, or probably more likely that they can secure a return to the Ricoh on much more...

That's the same level as Sphinx I think.

Reading between the lines though, I think they are saying name and colours could be changed if that was the will of shareholders/members.

What level are they playing at next season out of interest?

True. Although it still hurts my feelings when people shout at my anonymous internet identity. I need to man up..

Genuine question, why do you think this is franchising by the back door? What large urban conurbation without a football team could they possible relocate to where they could generate 32,000 for a JPT game or 10K average in division 3? Nowhere, so of what benefit would a permanent relocation...

That's weird then, it shows as public for me and all usernames are showing. Clear your browser cache!

Yup. Double it and add your shoe size and you're about there. If you're lucky.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean! It is a public poll no? All I am saying is that the fact your username appears against your selection might put a few people off voting. It might, it might not. The votes could well be an accurate reflection, I'm just saying I don't think it's particularly...

Agree. I can see this lasting one season before they come back to the Ricoh. If they don't, then a Phoenix club will probably be formed in time for the 2014/15 season, and then the prospect of a return becomes more unlikely. It'll be one season if that.

Not really. People just don't like the idea of seeing their name under the 'yes' vote for fear they'll be called scabs or something else equally hysterical, so they abstain from these sort of polls. 2000-3000 is my guess, but that's all it is. I'm not planning to go to Northampton as it...
