Cardoza was interview in the local Northampton paper and he said even NTFC wouldn't gain much in terms of catering etc from the deal as they have a similar deal with an outside company as is in place at the Ricoh with Compass. If NTFC aren't getting much I wouldn't say there's much chance...

I think the issue is that had the FL not made this mistake the players and share would be in the company that was in administration. Given that most people would have assumed prior to this that the FL would follow their own rules they would act on that basis.

Levy is a bit of a misleading term I think and she's making it sound like ACL want £4 from every ticket on top of the rent which is not quite true. Looks to me more like an offer to reduce the rent from £1.2m to £400K and then should the crowds increase significantly and the club get promotion...

If you buy them directly from Port Vale then you don't provide any funding to SISU as they don't get a %

In theory you could let SISU have it and put conditions on the sale, such as CCFC not having to pay rent, never being able to be separated from ownership of CCFC but I think we're way past the point where anyone would trust SISU to honour any conditions and not drag everyone constantly into...

Maybe you should reply and let them know we don't have a club shop just a barrow in Tesco, they don't answer the phone and the website rarely works!

true, do we actually have any sponsors left for anything now?

I agree, in fact I seem to recall a fair few people making that point at the time. It would be an interesting question to put to Fisher (not that you'd have much chance of getting a straight answer) if their 'bottom of the cycle' theory has now changed.

Clearly there are free tickets, it's just a question of whether theres a significant increase in the number or proportion of free tickets now over previous seasons at the Ricoh. I was asked if I wanted a ticket through a NTFC sponsor I have dealings with occasionally, not 100% sure if they were...

Strange if they've been told that given that only a couple of months ago Fisher was telling us we were at 'the bottom of the cycle'

what's this all about? why would she be doing that if her aim is to get Coventry back at the Ricoh?

So why is Fisher not all over the radio and telegraph telling ACL to offer the 150K deal to Otium and they'll take it? When he was on CWR and was questioned on the offer he tried playing the 'it was offered to the administrator card' but when pushed to say if they would accept the same deal...

somewhere on the council website there's a document about the Ricoh and it states parking restrictions to be put in place for any event where a crowd over a certain size is expected (think it's 10K off the top of my head).

hard to tell from the pics on twitter but the main stand looks around the same (busy in the middle then thinning out as you go towards the goal lines), the 'home' end behind the goal looks like there's less than before and PNE have a lot less than Bristol.

it's a really odd matchday when you're just following on twitter and on here. I can't remember the last time I've been in the country and not either at the game or listening to CWR.

If I was in Fishers job and the crowd today doesn't turn out to be substantially bigger I'd be very worried. Decent enough weather, bank holiday weekend, couple of good results and no legends game should all add up to a much bigger turn out than the first home game. If it isn't I'm not sure...

was the stand opposite the main stand open for the first game? isn't for this one by the looks of it, how long before they close the stand behind the goal and move all the home supporters into the main stand?

Depends how you view it. If you view it as a proportion of the total crowd then the number of free tickets has shot up massively. the point people are making I think is that 500 either way on 10K plus attendances is not giving anyone a different impression of how many people are actually paying...

you don't need to do that, all you do is put FACT in capital letters at the end of the sentence, can't be disputed then!

I can see them buying some land, they can buy it, hold onto it and sell it later with little money (in the grand scheme of things) lost. They may even come up with some plans and put an application in, you can probably get plans 'off the shelf' on the cheap if you don't care too much what you're...
