I think SISU should get a bloody move on! Draw up a proper business plan for each option (I guess groundshare at Ricoh, new ground in Cov, new ground just outside Cov). Plans that stand up to scrutiny not figures plucked out of the sky like the 8K who were going to turn up at Sixfields each...

I agree but if a new stadium is the best way forward then no matter how long it is going to take, or even if it is judged to be the best way forward but something we can't afford to do now, then at least get the plan in place. Let us know what the best option is and how we are going ot achieve...

I'm not so sure about this. If we start going up and down there is a danger that every relegation sees a higher number walk away and every promotion a smaller number returning. How long before our crowds dwindle and with us being so dependent on ticket revenue how long before we're struggling to...

Rock and a hard place is right. All anyone is saying really, look at all the opitions and decide the best way forward rather than blindly declaring staying at the Ricoh or a new ground is the way forward.

I don't think anyone is saying just sit here and hope Wasps fail are they? More that if staying at the Ricoh is shown to be our best current option then to have any degree of success in the future requires that somewhere down the line we take ownership of the Ricoh from Wasps. The most likley...

So in this plan we tread water and get promoted (that's not treading water is it?). Then what? If we haven't even considered the options until then we have a long process to go through during which time there's every chance we will get relegated. Is there any more options than we currently...

Presumably they don't buy tickets for the family zone so the easy option would be to have a couple of stewards checking tickets as people enter that block.

That seems a bit of a waste of money. The Fortress system doesn't do anything the existing system isn't already capable of.

It will still be NFL as it will be an existing team moving to London, by the looks of things Jacksonville. Be interesting to see what happens if that is a success. Will they expand the league to add more European teams, they can't really add a third conferernce without huge changes. They tried...

Stockport rented off Sale, during that period they dropped out of the league. Sale moved to a new ground but retained ownership. I think about 3 years ago they agreed to lease rather than rent to Stockport so they do now have control of the ground.

You can still overspend no matter how much you have coming in and clubs continually do. That's a different issue, although also a problem for us if we wish to compete with those teams happy to risk millions. The only team I can think of in a similar arrangement to us is Stockport and that has...

Given how crap the system is they probably have to go through and manually release each seat or something stupid. Might be worth a tweet / call to see when they will be released.

Blimey Tony you've just made the same arguement as Tim Fisher! The stadium itself should be able to run at a profit, in fact it should be easier than it is for pretty much every other club due to the extra facilites. So what you're saying seems similar to Fisher, that ACL being loaded with debt...

Hoping for another 3 points and within a point of the top 2.

From the CT

Not everyone can attend every game, doesn't mean they aren't a fan. I think what we're referring to here are the ones who are staying away out of choice and the ones who only turn up when we get a 'big' game. Rather than having a go at them we need to find a way to get them to start turning up...

There was an interview with a chap on CWR who confirmed it. There was also an article in the CT which was presented as stadium ownership not being needed but when you looked at the actual quotes for the expert it only applied to L1 and would become an issue at a higher level.

There's an email for general matchday things, or on the day you can text.

Not sure that's right. Hopefully we will get promoted this year. We have been told, by independent football finance experts, that lack of stadium ownership means we can't compete above L1 level. I can't imagine people turning up week in week out when we're in a relegation battle just sitting...

A win on Tuesday and we're right up there. That would put us on 31 with Gillingham with Burton and Walsall on 32.
