    there's the old discretion though so that could be ignored.

    MP asks for CCFC intervention

    Are you sure? IMO the FL would be more concerned about not losing what, despite our current status, is still a pretty big team. They'd be even more concerned about spending years fighting SISU in court.

    Football League Finances

    Remember when Pompey fans were kicking off about the fit and proper persons test (which was of course after years of silence as their dodgy owner spent millions) the FL basically told them the test was meaningless and they couldn't enforce anything as they didn't have the money for any potential...

    Main Pitch at Alan Higgs Center

    Shocking the terrible state SISU have let it get into. This is what happens when you don't employ a groundsman :facepalm:

    Maybe the Trust or the Telegraph could ask the same questions. See if they get a response.

    Stadium deal ends in 2018.

    If they both say no then they couldn't make their stance much clearer could they. You would then be able to say without a doubt that the club are being forced out of the city.

    MP asks for CCFC intervention

    Completely agree with this. The idea that SISU won't sell or will only sell for £60m is crazy for me. They didn't want to own a football club in the first place, it was simply an investment. They certainly don't want to own a football club that is, at best, breaking even for years to come...

    Stadium deal ends in 2018.

    Or how about the FL go to Wasps and say are you prepared to extend the clubs agreement on the current terms. And then they could go to the council and request they asset the club with any plans they may have now or in the immediate future.

    Another MP rushing to get involved

    I hope these MPs are suddenly sounding off because the CT have been on to them and not because we're about to get another kick in the teeth.

    Another MP rushing to get involved

    How does that work then? The FL can only look at any agreement presented to them by the club and either say they are happy with it and will allow the club to continue in the League or that they aren't happy with it. I would say the league are low down on the list of organisations who can resolve...

    Council helps football club

    How have you made the leap from the league saying we are looking for a long-term solution, with no mention of building a new ground, to stating that they believe we are building a new stadium? What does being in L1, which of course we weren't when we moved to the Ricoh, have anything to do with...

    Match Thread Norwich v Coventry Match Thread - Tuesday 23rd Aug

    To be fair changing it to EFL Cup and EFL Trophy doesn't exactly help.

    Rose out injured for 'weeks, if not months'

    Is Bigi still under contact to Newcastle or has he been released? Wouldn't be top of my list of players to bring in but I think there's a decent player at this level in there somewhere.

    Mrs Browns boys ranked best comedy of the 21st century

    I don't get the appeal of Mrs Browns Boys at all. If anyone hasn't seen it I'd highly recommend number 20 on that list, Detectorists.

    Rose out injured for 'weeks, if not months'

    Well that's not good news. The standard of officiating at this level needs to be sorted. If a player can take someone out of the game for months with a tackle like that and not even get booked the bad tackles won't stop.

    The 20 match package is basically a pro rata season ticket.

    Things that annoy you

    Mate of mine knew Royal Mail weren't trying to deliver and were just putting cards through he door so when he knew something was due one day he waited by the door until they turned up and put the card through. Opened the door and asked for his package :D

    Twitter rumour

    Wouldn't say he's the best in my lifetime. For the younger fans I would think that would be Wilson or maybe Armstrong. Saying that he has the potential, in part will be down to how he applies himself. How many players have been where he is but then end up in the lower leagues a few years down...

    Adam Armstrong

    If Newcastle don't want to loan him to another Championship side and TM wants him back I think we have a good shot. They know he will play, will be happy & settled and trust TM.
