Correct, legally as a charity they have very little choice other than to accept a CVA that offers some return. ACL, as a private company, have different legal requirements but still have to operate within the law so presumably those that think ACL rejected the CVA for reasons other than the best...

I think the option to buy the Higgs share has gone but technically the lease will still exist until liquidation. Didn't SISUs CVA offer include a pay off to cancel the remainder of the contract?

Genuine question for you Nick do you think we will return to Coventry given that SISU have stated the new ground will not be in Coventry?

Nothing wrong with that but we'll see what happens. Once the window closes we need to have at least the same strength and depth in the squad as we do currently and ideally we need to increase both areas if we want to make a serious go at the play offs, especially with regard to squad depth. If...

I think that someone checked with the police before the first game and was told that so long as there was no trouble there wouldn't be an issue. I imagine if thousands turned up on the hill there might be safety issues but so far there doesn't seem to have been any problems for the guys on the hill.

You're asking that question with the benefit of hindsight. ACL are supposed to be getting the same amount now as was proposed under the CVA so if you flip the question around financially what have they lost? You have to remember that ACL are a company in their own right and have a legal...

Mate of mine does business in Northampton and advertises with cobblers sometimes and gets free tickets as a result. He's invited me to our games a couple of times this season when he's been offered freebies. He's told me that he now gets offered pretty much as many as he wants for every 'home'...

If it was to happen I don't see how anyone could blame it on ACL. Given that the company being liquidated is no longer part of the football club (and we've already had a 10 point deduction for that) the only reason I can see for another deduction would be failure to pay the money owed to ACL...

And there is the big flaw in the plan. They want revenues from non match day activities which requires a complex that has additional facilities and is in a decent location. Things like big box retail sites are struggling even with decent locations, they aren't going to get many stores wanting to...

if he's said 9 then it's unlikely to be somewhere closer isn't it? If it was he would have given a lower number. Of course if depends where they're taking as the starting point, didn't they say it was distance from the council house or have I imagined that? If so someone knock up a map that...

How many people went to see Take That / Bon Jovi / tennis / snooker etc that have never been to a Coventry game? Works both ways and there's a definite argument to be made that the Ricoh is for more than just football fans.

So we're told the Ricoh is a healthily business with lots of visitors yet Grendel tells us people from Coventry never go there. That's excellent news then as it means all of those attending the Ricoh are from out of town and bringing money into the local economy that wouldn't otherwise have been...

If liquidating CCFC somehow gives SISU the best return then I don't think they'd think twice about doing it. Our hope has to be that CCFC is worth more to them as a going concern, or at least what's left of one, that through being liquidated.

How long would that process take? You could be adding a lot more years playing in Northampton. Even at 3 -5 years you have to worry how many fans will be left when we come back. What about if its 5 - 10 years or longer?

Whenever I get talking to Saints fans down here they always mention how glad they are they turned SISU away and got rid of Tango Ken who they viewed as worse than useless.

I went to see England Women play Turkey and there was a group of around 20 Turkey fans who were going absolutely mental for the whole game, drumming, singing, dancing around. Everyone was loving it, having their picture taken with them and stuff like that until the stewards got involved and...

Tan is a nutcase. Seems to know very little about football but expects everyone to always agree with his ideas. interesting to see, according to the BBC, that Bellamy was asked to be caretaker manager and refused. If he does go wouldn't like to be the manger taking his place with pissed off...

I think a lot of our fans were disappointed at the lack of any objection from the majority of the Northampton fans who seemed fine with the plan so long as they got some money, especially after other sides fans, particularly Walsall, had been vocal with their objections to their own board...

The bit that doesn't have anything on it at the moment? Anyone know how that's zoned for development or is it classed as greenfield. If it was there and the access was from the B4113 CCC wouldn't even be involved in infrastructure upgrades.

for most people I think if we were moving outside the city boundary as we needed a new stadium and there were no suitable sites in the city it wouldn't be a problem. When you're moving outside the city because the owners are refusing to use a stadium in the city or consider any sites in the city...
