You'd think that they'd at least offer a reduction - say 50%, why not go for 66.7%?

Acceptance with one condition that you're pretty sure will be refused is pretty close to a refusal though. Don't you think?

Yes, the FL's position that they OK'd the move to Northampton because it was "impossible" for City to play at the Ricoh, looks less and less defensible as each day goes by.

Read the first line of your post. Now read the third line.

I think it would have been much easier without a rent strike, threat of liquidation by the CEO etc, but we are where we are. It seems pretty clear that both the club and ACL would be better off in the short term with an agreement to play at the Ricoh, for at least the coming year. Logic...

So you think that SISU should only pay the same rent at the Ricoh, as they're paying at Sixfields (a stadium less than a quarter of the size), despite the fact that average attendances at the Ricoh would be between 4k and 8k higher per match? Very strange way to run a business.

So why not try to arrange to play at the Ricoh during the "three years" of stadium building, so taking avoiding the financial hit?

"Support the team, not the regime" is possible - it just means away games only.

It's not stalemate, it's avoidance. ACL have agreed to a meeting with no pre-conditions. Joy is avoiding having a meeting by demanding that the CVA be signed before she will consider attending. If it wasn't the CVA, I'm afraid there'd just be another excuse.

I thought that ACL had agreed to a meeting with no preconditions.

Other clubs have been in administration (which our club may or may not be - Ltd, Holdings, Otium etc) at this stage of a season, but I wonder if there has ever been one that has not even announced arrangements for its season tickets this close to the start of a season.

The "ball is in ACL's corner" only because that's the way that Joy wants to play it. There is nothing stopping her going to a meeting.

So you don't see it as a refusal? Would you have seen it as a refusal if ACL had said that their pre-condition was payment of all rent arrears?

Hopefully even the Football League will now start to get a picture of what's going on.

Remember two superstars of the Championship days? Juan Sara Brian Kerr

Don't you mean Brian Sara?

I suppose it depends whether you consider us to be a football club or a financial/legal soap opera. Which is a tough one to answer.....

Just so long as we leave Demi Moore out of this!

Yet they can afford to pay the rent at Northampton. Yet they can afford to cut gates from last year's circa 10.5k to between 3k and 5k (I think that was TF's estimate). Yet, apparently they can afford to subsidise ticket prices and transport (or at least, so it is presumed), to achieve...

I find it very difficult to envisage a positive future for the club under its current ownership. This is particularly so because I simply cannot understand the rationale for the move to Northampton. I can see why SISU may wish to build a new stadium, but in the interim period, I cannot...
