    Ann Lucas

    Would she be on a similar deal to an MP where if not reelected they get a nice payout?

    Pretty clear message there.

    Striker Update

    The problem with the likes of Maddison is expecting them to play all season but I don't think it would be a problem for him to play 3 or 4 games at the start of the season before a loan striker comes in.

    Striker Update

    We've told he had a budget in the top 8 in the league. Jan from the trust has confirmed the trust were shown documents from the FL showing this to be true. TM has said he will not rush into signings and would rather wait than overspend to make best use of the budget he has. We've also paid a...

    Gaming

    Struggling to think of many hits these days that are platform exclusive. Halo and Little Big Planet are the only two that come to mind in the Xbox / PS field. Nintendo have kept a pretty tight leash on their characters. There was talk of them moving in to the iOS games market, which I think...

    Striker Update

    He's publicly stated that he'd rather wait and get the right player at the right price than rush into things or pay over the odds. Maybe people are expecting too much, for me a season with a comfortable top half finish will be a big improvement. So long as I can see us progressing I'll be happy...

    Striker Update

    I must be reading a different article to you lot. The one I can see on the CT site says no new striker before the Cambridge friendly on Tuesday but he is 'pretty confident' in making a signing before the first game of the season. Nowhere do i see a mention of starting the season without a...

    2nd or Playoff Winners?

    From a business point of view promotion would be worth the most financially. Of course ideally from that standpoint it would be promotion via the playoffs. Money from a sold out play off semi and I presume a share of the final would add to pot.

    2nd or Playoff Winners?

    2nd place unless you're promising a play off win.

    Sustainability

    But those sort of factors are a two way street, there would be people who couldn't make the Gillingham game for those reasons (I was one of them) who went to the next game. Of course some people will go the extra mile to ensure they can make a big game but we're not talking about a couple of...

    Portsmouth (Away) Match Thread

    Surprised the chap from WMP hasn't done something about him if he's getting thrown out every game. If he's got mental issues then he clearly needs a carer or someone to reign him in, for his own safety as much as anything. If he's just a drunk / high idiot then how many times can you be thrown...

    Money being spent in the Championship

    The bubble has to burst at some point. How long before a big name team goes out of business? I'd bring in fixed squad sizes in all divisions and a salary cap and floor in each division. If you get promotion but can't afford the salary floor you don't get promoted same as if you're ground isn't...

    Sustainability

    The question I posed was why did so many people who went to Gillingham not bother again for the next game. It's pretty obvious that they didn't as the Gillingham game had 26,811 home fans in attendance. The next game had less than 11K home fans so that's over 15K who couldn't be bothered with...

    Sustainability

    Last seasons average attendance was 9,332 (that includes the opening games at Sixfields but Gillingham probably cancels that out), the season before we moved to Northampton was 10,906 so in reality the attendances haven't changed that much. The question is how do we get the other 20K who turn...

    Sustainability

    The only comparable situation I can think of is Brighton. Just had a quick look and on their return they seem to have had a pretty steady attendance so no big drop off like we experienced. The question for me is why did all those who attend Gillingham not go to the next game? It was a great...

    In Times of Austerity

    Of course you can always find individuals but the fact is the number of pensioners needing to work is rising and shows no sign of doing anything but continuing to rise.

    Leon Best

    I can't see him dropping down to L1 but if he does, and was affordable, I'd be happy to have him here.
