    If that is the case wouldn't it be wise to make an announcement that other than those who had the chance to attend those meetings he won't be meeting with anyone else?

    Playing at Sixfields

    Not sure you can really use an argument that if away fans hadn't purchased tickets there would have been less people there! Given the away end holds 6000 if you're not going to count them you're always going to be at least 6000 short of capacity.

    Why is Ricoh bowl not used?

    The only major stadium tour is One Direction who are doing multiple dates at Manchester and London meaning they're skipping the Midlands totally. Rod Stewart is doing a handful of stadium dates, past that (and I'm not in the office at the moment to check) I don't think there's a whole lot on the...

    Reminder about Libel etc

    You may have to go to court to prove you are right and / or the other side prove you are wrong but generally if you're telling the truth there's not a lot anyone can do other than try and bully you into a retraction (see SISU and the Guardian).

    Why is Ricoh bowl not used?

    I don't know how many times I have to repeat this before people believe it but that's the area I work in and i guarantee you the Ricoh is very highly thought of for stadium shows. Again if you're trying to read something into there being no concerts there this year or bands not returning you are...

    Why is Ricoh bowl not used?

    No concerts this summer is just a result of stadium filling bands touring cycles, anyone who is trying to read more into it is looking for a problem that isn't there. As for U21 internationals ignoring the fact that they don't repeat venues too often you have to wonder if the FA / FL role in...

    Playing at Sixfields

    The atmosphere and the crowds would (or hopefully will) improve if the team ever improved. Look how people turned up for the JPT, I would think if we had started bit better in that game the atmosphere would have been great.

    Playing at Sixfields

    I can't see, at L1 level with FFP operating, clubs are going to offering hugely differing terms so other factors come in to play. It would for me. If I got offered 2 jobs on the same salary and one company chasing me was a complete basket case on a downward spiral and the other was a well run...

    Playing at Sixfields

    He'd probably think whoever was offering it him had experienced a mental breakdown! In an extreme case of course money is a factor, as is what level the signing team us at. If we offer Moussa £20K a week and Man Utd offer him £19K a week theres a decent chance he'll got to Man Utd isn't there...

    This would be an easy point scoring exercise for the GCBTR candidate. If the question is asked they can't really ignore it and are they going to want to risk annoying their constituents by supporting us moving into their area.

    Playing at Sixfields

    If you're talking about players playing at a higher level then it will always be hard to hold on to them. Most players want to play at the highest level possible, not to mention the money goes up pretty swiftly. However that's not the same as attracting L1 players. All things being equal (wages...

    Why is Ricoh bowl not used?

    Not really anything to do with that in my opinion. It's just one of those years where touring cycles align to mean there's an abnormally low number of stadium tours this summer. The Ricoh is very highly regarded as a music venue, hence the number of tours they get. I know some people moan that...

    Christie confirms he is off ?

    To be fair some of them have been protesting, they've even set up a protest group and appointed a campaign leader. Unfortunately they're protesting about having to move seats next season and not about being in Northampton.

    US business man planning to launch bit to bring CCFC back to the ricoh

    The whole thing seems odd. It seems US based, hence paying in $, he won't get any publicity over there for this and everyone who has looked at the site has said it's terrible. It might be free advertising but that's not much use to him if everyone thinks it's a crackpot idea and his website is...

    FAO Simon Gilbert or Andy Turner

    Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. If it wasn't covered you would have people moaning that CT aren't covering it, love SISU, love CCC or some other rubbish. The website is shocking though and doesn't even cover the basics you get on sites like kickstarter such as what risk there is, when you...

    FOI Nuneaton&Bedworth Simon Gilbert

    I would assume the nearer they get to the boundary the more cooperation they need from CCC in terms of any infrastructure changes. If we can't build it in Coventry as CCC will block it would that not rule out site right by the boundary? What potential sites are there that could be covered by...

    SISU lost the club £4M

    Few more seasons at Sixfields and they'll be paying people to go! We must have the cheapest tickets in the FL.

    FOI Nuneaton&Bedworth Simon Gilbert

    If the modular design allowed the capacity to be reduced as well as upgraded that might actually be a viable option in the future. One of the issues with a new stadium is that it won't hold its value as there will be a much better stadium located in the city that any future owner will want to...

    SISU lost the club £4M

    Interesting. Seems quite low when only OAP and kids season tickets would be that cheap, wonder what it is that's pulling the average down. Would be interesting to see a breakdown (full prices, kids etc) but I doubt that info is available. Expect there will be quite a big drop for this season...
