Indeed we did but how much of that was spent on HR, probably not much. Obviously if you're dealing with an older stadium it would be fair to expect higher maintenance bills. I know Pompey are having to spend £400K a season just to patch the ground up to pass H&S, no idea if that's a typical...

Do any reports or accounts that we wouldn't have previously seen get published at the end of the process?

I wonder if you look back at those 105 years how many years we were paying for financing of HR and / or large maintenance bills. Would be interesting to know exactly how owning your ground compares to renting it.

Its great that they do a lot for the kids who are there but isn't the overriding point those that aren't there due to us being in Northampton? Also a question of how much is actually done by the club and how much by volunteers. Wasn't it said that the JSB Xmas party was not organised by the club...

This is odd, how can you give an award like this to a club that's moved 35 miles away from families that want to go. How many can no longer attend? On top of that in the last SCG minutes it said they had to have a whip round to keep the JSBs going, hardly sounds like the club deserve an award...

Would have been wise of the FL to say it had to be paid prior to the first game of the season. If it's not paid now they've backed themselves into a corner, what do they do? Do nothing and they look weaker than they already are.

Peru game for me as well then sat on the sofa watching the World Cup. Have been losing interest in cricket the last few years so probably won't bother with that, the form of the England team and the change to Birmingham Bears I think are the final straws for me.

Sounds very familiar. I have never been to so few games and I will probably go to even less next season. A lot of my time used to revolve around being a supporter, the first thing I would do in the morning would be check for any news. Would rush home on Friday for the phone in. Weekends were...

It has never been clear to me why the delay is liquidating the old Ltd company led to a delay in making this payment. It was a condition of Otium being issued the share that this was paid, Otium is, technically, a different company to one being liquidated so shouldn't they have just got on and...

When Sepalla became a bit more public and did the interview in the CET I though she might get shot of Fisher and put all the blame onto him. Easy way to move things forward really, just say the way he was behaving was not in line with SISU and she wants to talk with CCC and / or ACL. Think the...

I think another issue is we pay so much attention to what is going on with our club and the discussions around it we know all about everyone disagreeing. You don't tend to hear that about other clubs as we don't pay that much attention to them and just get the bigger picture. Having lived...

If you're making the argument that distance is a factor wouldn't you need to account for how far away a ground is? Stands to reason that if distance is a critical factor the further away the bigger the impact. You would also have to account for ticket availability, have any of our away games...

This is the problem isn't it, as a club we can't operate in isolation from everyone else and it seems pretty much every other club are losing money by overspending on players. Even if the debt was written off and the Ricoh given to us for free how would we ever get above, at best, championship...

Doesn't seem good management by the club to have not even have made an offer yet. Not like we're going to get anyone else in. The earlier they start this sort of thing the more time there is to get it sorted and lower risk of the player or agent getting fed up of waiting around and moving elsewhere.

For it to work SISU would have to purchase the 50% stake owned by Higgs which they seem prepared to sell. Then they would need to purchase the 50% owned by the council which obviously they council would have to agree to. Once they own 100% of ACL they can do pretty much what they want in terms...

Something like that would work, once they've got the lease it would be up to SISU if they wind up ACL or not. The best thing for the campaign would be to get someone from the SISU side to confirm they would be agreeable to this. I suspect there would be a lot more support if it was clearly...

Will never happen but there have been a few comments dropped throughout the season that give a good indication that the players aren't too happy playing at Sixfields in front of small crowds. Lots of comments about it being like pre-season, understand why the fans stay away etc.

I'll give them £20 every couple of weeks in return for a ticket.

There would certainly be more people there than if they play another season at Sixfields. I'm sure some would stay away until SISU go at which point they'll either return or find some other excuse not to go. I have no problem with SISU having the leasehold for the Ricoh, even if they are given...

Would you even be able to enforce a decision? Lets say CCC are told to sell the freehold for x amount. What happens if the council then go no we're not selling or SISU say we aren't paying that much?
