But that protest was designed to have a visual impact and stop the game. A boycott is designed to have the ground as empty as possible. You would need to have a number significantly down on the usual attendance to claim it as a success.

Interesting snippet from twitter (covpics, is that deano?).

You're looking at very different things there. If you look at the original build cost then, from a council perspective, they put in £10m. If you purchased the bricks and mortar for £60m you'd get nothing as ACL would still be in place. Purchasing ACL for £6m with a £14m loan could be argued...

It wasn't withdrawn was it? His budget relied on increased attendances but the reality was attendances dropped leaving a hole in the budget.

It wouldn't have been anyone at SISU who said lets buy any football club, let alone ours. Ray Ranson presented an investment opportunity. It wasn't specific to us as he'd already been looking at other clubs. In fact being rejected by other clubs could be why he didn't think twice about some of...

There's an article up now about how the fans are more united than ever. a) that's clearly not true, b) its in part not true due to the CT trying to whip everyone up into a frenzy.

2-0, Bigi and Jones both celebrating their birthdays with goals.

What is going on with the names parents give their kids???

Red Bull do a complete rebrand, we'd play in their colours for example. That would limit the teams who would consider it. My initial response would be no as we're sky blue but I guess it would only be a darker shade of blue. Don't think the FL would allow them to change the name of the team or...

They aren't likely to bring anywhere near as many as midweek so when the attendance is lower it will be claimed as a huge victory for the boycott no matter what. When you take out the visiting fans what are we averaging for Saturday games? Given STs will count anyway I don't think it will be...

So strip it back to the facts. The CT had an agreement with CCC to suppress a story, clearly of public interest, for the benefit of the council and ultimately Wasps. Its not about if the loan was lawful or not, its about the fact the local media suppressed the story. That is factually correct...

Is anyone who is having a pop at Les Reid going to actually point out any factual inaccuracies?

If 5000 go on this march and all turn up 5 mins before kick off it will be chaos!

How on earth has this got over 100 posts arguing about the CT when the first post clearly shows they are just makings stuff up.

Would be a surprising appointment. Maybe he's trying to get more money where he is and his agent has just googled clubs looking for a manager!

I've never met Steve, at least I don't think I have, and he seems a decent enough chap on here and has clearly put a lot of his time into the SBT and now the march / boycott. That said I do think it raises a valid concern. People can rightly say they aren't following Steve and acting on their...

What on earth was Bravo doing there? No need to come charging out like that in the first place.

He sounds to me like someone that's not used to that role and is being careful what he says so he tends to fall back on cliches.
