Where should people draw the line then? Not going to any away games where you have to purchase tickets from CCFC, not going to away cup games, not going to England games in case any of that money is in the grant the FA give for the academy? If it was a card carrying sign up for this kind of...

You have people saying everyone who boycotts Sixfields shouldn't be going to away games cup games as it gives SISU money, doesn't that make the assumption that everyone boycotting is subscribing to NOPM? Maybe people are not going to Sixfields as they feel we shouldn't be playing home games...

On what basis would it be bad debt? There's been nothing so far to indicate ACL won't meet payments. If the JR goes SISUs way it's doesn't automatically follow that ACL will have to pay back the £14m immediately or on any different terms to what they have now and even if the loan isn't called in...

Were we that much further from the pitch at the Ricoh than we were at HR? Can't say it's anything I've ever noticed. Think for a lot of people the rose tinted glasses come in when talking about HR. Don't get me wrong I liked it and it had all the history but the Ricoh is a fantastic stadium, a...

the only 2 you really need to worry about are freehold and leasehold. The freehold is currently owned by CCC and it's basically the bricks and mortar. ACL purchased a 50(?) year lease for the Ricoh and as such anyone that wishes to use the Ricoh deals with them. Our lease was with ACL as would...

You've got a better memory than me, I can't remember any planning applications that were turned down. What stands were we looking to develop? East Stand can probably be ruled out as the newest stand, the other stands would be limited by the close proximity of the housing. Are these plans online...

Maybe the next time there's a SCG meeting someone can ask Fisher if Northampton have any means to terminate the ground share if they wish to and what his back up plan is should that happen.

Do the rugby club own the Butts? if they don't they could at some point see some pressure applied to move to an empty Ricoh. Not saying it's something they would want just that the longer things go on the more chance their is that things we think of as being non-starters now will be looked more...

Because if they purchased ACL we wouldn't have to play for years in Northampton losing a fortune. It seems they could purchase the Higgs share for around £5-6m, then there's the £14m loan plus the cost of the council share. So even if the council share cost them nothing they're looking at around...

could end up a right mess if both teams get a couple of home games called off. It has crossed my mind before what happens if their new manager doesn't play hoofball and decides he doesn't want another team playing there. Would assume Cardoza has a get out clause at the end of each season so he...

Why do SISU not make a formal bid for ACL, or even the freehold and leasehold combined, that includes repayment of the £14m loan? If they did that and it was rejected then would that not massively strengthen their case or at the very least give those that feel the blame lies with SISU something...

very interesting that the rugby club sees the stadium as a viable prospect on crowds of less than 1K as they make enough from corporate functions. Would seem to support ACLs argument that they can survive without the size crowds CCFC attracted. I wonder if at some point there will be a push...

Just as well they got an expert in! Chelsea have lost £50m which apparently isn't enough to fall foul of FFP regulations. The Swansea situation is interesting. There are some who have been using them as an example of how unsupportive CCC have been but it looks likely they could be in trouble...

Has he been in trouble again or did they just think he wasn't up to the job?

Runs till 2025 now, IIRC it was stated by ACL (PWKH?) that Ricoh weren't really that bothered if there was a football team there or not. Guess that's true else they wouldn't have renewed.

Guess they mean depends on how the word is used. You probably couldn't have AFC Coventry City as people would drop the AFC and you'd have two teams called the same thing. City of Coventry AFC or something like that would be OK. Personally I'd keep it simple and just go for AFC Coventry. Quite...

Probably just him giving an opinion off the cuff, none of us really knows yet people want to take his opinion as fact when it suits their argument.

Why would Bates have consulted an administration specialist when not in administration? I'm sure he would have spoken to others but isn't it more likely that the people he spoke to would have been those more used to dealing with takeovers rather than administration. Is there any actual...

Are we really suggesting that a guy worth £164m couldn't afford to buy the club? How would Guilfoyle know if he had the money anyway, he would never have had any reason to need to see proof of funds from PH4. People worth that much can generally get their hands on a fair bit of cash if...

is there any particular reason people were expecting thousands to go to Rotherham?
