    city still play at ricoh regardless of wasps takeover

    Can't see this being an issue. Other teams groundshare so presumably the relevant leagues already have a protocol in place to deal with this. Presumably something as simple as one sorts their fixtures first and the non available dates are passed to the other league.

    sisu on the ropes

    Isn't this train of thought how we ended up with SISU, on the basis that they were the only option. Despite the slightly dubious (in my opinion in case SISUs lawyers are reading), administration process there were several people interested, some of whom we still don't know the identity of. Look...

    Paul Ince is he deluded or does he have a point?

    That's it. To make any claims you'd have to look at the pool of available qualified employees and analyse who is applying for each job and if anyone from a minority is turned down is there anything to suggest it is anything other than they are not the best person for the job. If and when we...

    Getting fans back

    I'm not saying its an exact match but it seems unlikely to me that the majority of those who went on the protest are the ones not turning up.

    Getting fans back

    There was roughly the same number of people there yesterday as at the big protest so it would seem those people you are referring to have gone back. They aren't the problem and will most likely go no matter what. The ones who are more casual fans who only turn up occasionally are they ones they...

    Getting fans back

    I lived in Ottawa for a year and the promotion for NHL games is relentless. Billboards, print ads, radio ads etc. All but the biggest games (which they know will sell out straight away) have some sort of special promotion. The players are expected to constantly be out in the community helping...

    Getting fans back

    They way they do promotions like this is counter productive. The only people who will know about the promotion are those that already go and how many of them said lets not bother yesterday, we'll go to the cheap game in the week instead. If you're going to have a promotion then promote the...

    So Much for Ricoh Return

    Not sure why this is a surprise to anyone. Before we left we were averaging under 11K. That was for our first season in L1 where a decent chunk of our support expected a promotion push. Everyone said when we buggered off to Northampton it would damage the fan base and it has. Yesterdays...

    Getting fans back

    I'm similar, too many people on here think you are either a supporter or you're not but it doesn't like that. You don't stop being a supporter it just becomes less important to you, you stop going to so many games, a loss doesn't ruin your whole weekend etc. What do the club do locally to get...

    Same reason people come on here to tell everyone they have no interest in the club and are never going again.

    Crawley Match Thread

    Why not just buy a kids ticket and hope no one checks. A lot of people will choose to pay on the day as that's what they've always done, before you even consider the issues people have had buying tickets in advance. So, if they are honest, its £24 - £27. If you go every week a ST is great...

    A point and a terrific perfomance say's Elvis

    Maybe if SISU hadn't made such a mess of things and got us into L1 we'd be able to match the wages offered by huge clubs like Bournemouth.

    todays number

    It gives you a pretty clear indication of the quality of the opposition. As usual anyone who's struggling seems to have a sudden change of form when they play us. Can't be coincidental. At 2-0 Crawley were dead and buried, we should have been looking to get a hatfull and be 3 or 4 up by half...

    I'm not a fan of booing but I can certainly understand it. Blowing a 2-0 lead at home against a team who've only picked up one away point since the opening day of the season and have only 2 goals away from home all season. In no way can that be acceptable.

    If this was cinema, theatre or any other form of live entertainment there would be zero people there as its not in the slightest bit enjoyable or entertaining.

    Steven pressley

    I said last week we needed to pick up 6 points from the next 2 to give us some confidence in the tougher games coming up after that. A win next week is absolutely essential, any other result is not acceptable to me. Past that I can easily see us losing the following 3 given the way we are...

    Exactly right. My Dad has been going for decades and point blank refuses to go now. How can I persuade him? If we were playing good football and winning I might have a chance but who wants to go and watch what we are putting out, at the price we are charging for it. Someone at the club needs to...

    A point and a terrific perfomance say's Elvis

    Haven't heard the interview but if he did say that I won't be impressed. He should be absolutely fuming looking at Crawley's away form and going 2-0 up. We are always shooting ourselves in the foot and it will give us no chance of going up. We should have killed the games off 3 or 4 up by half...

    Butts arena

    It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation. It's rubbish playing at a 32K capacity stadium and getting under 10K but that's where we're at. A move to a smaller stadium in the city centre would be attractive now but what happens if we do well? Do we pack in at the new stadium and move back to the...
