Perhaps, but it seems odd. Why would you hire a double decker bus for a 70 mile round trip? Surely it would be more cost effective to hire a coach? Unless of course it is being subsidised or offered at cost, in which it does have something to do with ACL. It could not have financed itself...

Absolutely. Quote from a Gillingham fan in the pub after I informed him the gate would be about 2000, "Seems like most fans have given up on the club'. I put him right obviously, but that's surely how many see it. Most football fans cannot get their head around a prolonged boycott.

A bus with Ricoh Arena written in large red letters down both sides turns up will hill protesters has nothing to do with ACL? If that is the case then it is one massive coincidence. The only bus in Coventry that they sponsor happens to be the only bus available to ferry these people? Mmmm...

I did say that, but just changed my mind. The boycott is pointless and damaging, and will not speed up the return of the club to Coventry, which is what we all want. That is my opinion, but having arrived at it, there is nothing to stop me going I guess.

It has 'Ricoh Arena' written all over it, so there is a good chance.

How many academy players did we have in our squad today, was it nine? Clearly, a team with that many kids should be pissing the league. Valiant said so, although I don't recall too many posts from him over the summer suggesting the coming season was going to be a promotion party.

Well shame on you for doing nothing to stop it. There is no protest inside the ground because there is nobody there. Standing on the hill is achieving nothing. We cannot see you or hear you, you presence goes almost entirely unnoticed. What are you trying to achieve? You think standing there...

In which case, don't hide behind the "we're doing it for the good of club" line. It is bullshit. The suggestion that they tried to force administration because of an obvious bluff by TF about liquidation and dressed it up as concern for the club was a lie, pure and simple. I'd have a lot more...

No, my head is held high thank you very much. My presence or otherwise has no impact whatsoever on how long the club remains in Northampton - and I would argue that those of you that protest by not going are making a massive error and are pursuing a tactic that will take a lot longer to work...

Of course it is desperate, it is a travesty, nobody is denying that, but you don't need to make things up to prove the point. You say the Main Stand looked 'half empty' - well that stand holds 4000 - so if it was 'half empty' then there would have been 2000 in there alone. The crowd was what...

I think they will change a bit - but you're right, 2000 looks to be the par crowd now. It will deviate a bit when teams bring big followings or for xmas/bank holiday fixtures, and it will probably dip to 1500 for night games. If will be interesting to see if playing on a Saturday at home will...

Questioned by who? There has been no criticism of him at all really. It's just a simple observation - he has missed more than a few clear cut chances in recent games, but that happens - and many of those chances he has made himself, and I am sure he will bag a hat-trick before long.

I agree, his all round play is excellent, but he can be a tad wasteful. But like someone else said in another thread, if he bags 20+ goals this season nobody will be complaining.

Thought he ran the show again today. Last week he was outstanding. Credit where it's due, his transformation this season has been huge, and he looks a lot fitter and sharper. Our style of play clearly suits him, and both he and Thomas have been the outstanding players for me this season, but...

Exactly, I think there is more to come from both him and the team. I'm not convinced this team will fall away like some seem to think - but a couple of injuries and that might all change.

Leon seems to be missing 2 or 3 sitters a game at the moment. One part of me thinks our good run is going to come to an end soon, yet the scorelines continue to flatter the opposition. We seem to have a lot to spare. Was it 3 times we hit the woodwork again today? And yet some people were...

Our attendances are (or rather have been) entirely consistent with our catchment area which is not nearly as big as people think it is. I'm really not sure what crowds people think we should be getting.

Aye, looking forward to Vale. Pity the cricket was a wash out, turned down a ticket at the last minute, glad I did!

Quite a decent turn out yesterday I hear?
