    New Stadium

    the whole 'it's can't be in Coventry because the council won't let it happen' argument has never stacked up for me. can't remember off the top of my head but I did look it up and it can be fairly easily taken over the level of the council and there's also rules councils have to follow when...

    Telegraph response to Northampton advertisement...

    the trust wristbands aren't for charity but they are making a donation from the money they received selling them at the legends charity game. As has been posted the FPA, who put the game on, suggested the trust keep the money for the fighting fund but the trust have elected to still make a...

    Preston ticket sales

    think you'll find around 400 of those have been given away free. around 500 have actually been sold (inc season tickets). so add in late sales, walk up and away fans and you may get more than the first game but I would have thought SISU would be expecting a massive jump. there's not going to be...

    The Academy

    Doesn't sound like they just kicked them out the day after the money became due. Rioch can't really be left to pay the bills, nice enough gesture but not really practical. What do Higgs then do the next time something needs paying for, go back to him again...

    The waiting game....

    Maybe if Tim Fisher would publicly state they would accept a rent offer of £150K we could see if the offer exists or not. When questions about it on CWR he did his best to change the subject and was not prepared to say they would accept such an offer.

    Not A PENNY MORE

    same as away matches for me, if you can get tickets (I guess either freebies from a sponsor or corporates directly from Wembley / FA / FL) without SISU getting any money then I'd go, if not I'd miss it. as far as I'm concerned you're either supporting NOPM or you're not, it's not NOPM unless we...

    So, how are people getting their football fix this season?

    I live by Fratton Park but the thought of paying £20 for League 2 football puts me off. Thought about taking in a few Saints games but their tickets are £32 - £50 a go so I might give that a miss as well. England games at Wembley and some of our away games will do for some. Will probably end up...

    NEWSCoventry City: ACL call for administration to be re-run

    Are we sure that's actually how it happened? It may well have been agree to this lease at £150K and then we'll sign the CVA not that the new lease offer was part of the CVA. Convenient for Fisher that they legally can't agree to it, but odd as well that he told Sky Sports News that he wasn't...

    The time has come

    wasn't the offer a rolling 10 year lease as FL regulations (should they ever decide to stick to any) require a minimum of 10 years? That maybe (I thought it was offered to SISU but Fisher claimed they couldn't make an agreement prior to the CVA being signed despite the fact they had already...

    The end of nopm?

    theoretically next season we could be in the championship and NTFC in non league. while i'm sure NTFC have a solid core fan base there would sure to be more casual fans who would start to attend CCFC. the longer the stay in Northampton the more locals are likely to start going. If we're...

    Watch this space....

    they most likely could as they have a lot of debt that can write off without losing any of their investment however the key difference would be any bid would be for ltd containing ownership of assets such as the golden share and registration. should SISU buy ltd they would also be buying the...

    Better away from the Ricoh?

    If Fisher came out and gave evidence we have purchased a site, has plans for the stadium, funding and timescales then I think it could be considered by many. Personally I'd also want some explanation of the business plan that shows we are better off with a new stadium than renting the Ricoh and...

    Stuart Linnell is a Muppet !!!

    not sure they would be able to ban CWR. don't they cover the games as part of a Football League contract with the BBC? if they refused CWR access to cover the games the BBC would be on to the league and they'd withhold our share of the media money. SISU aren't really in a position to be turning...

    if fisher

    wouldn't make a difference to me, in fact it would just expose another Fisher lie. at the forums when he was asked about the drop in income due to lower crowds at NTFC he assured everyone it wasn't a problem as SISU would be covering it.

    free sky blues player

    wonder if they've given up on it? my subscription has run out, not renewed but I've not had a single email suggesting I should sign up again. the videos seem to go on youtube and apparently todays match was available through the regular iplayer feed.

    Richardson started debt crisis?

    surely we are in this mess now because of SISU? Richardson was terrible for the club there's no doubting that but you have to draw a line under it at some point and that was when SISU took over without a requirement to pay off the old debt, essentially they picked up a debt free club for nothing...

    What now Mr Appleton ?

    he doesn't really need to change his decision as the administration process isn't over. he can invite new bids based on new evidence and select a preferred bidder from those. the bigger issue is that he has allowed SISU to move assets out of Ltd whilst in administration. does he have the power...
