Didn't the club also reject ACLs proposal of a sliding scale of rent dependent on division in preference for a flat rate? If I've remembered that correctly presumably they did so as they thought we'd be in the prem and they'd be laughing all the way to the bank or do those who criticize ACL for...

wasn't that the reason he gave for leaving? couldn't do internationals and domestic as it was too much work, although I think they said on CWR he now works for Bristol City.

they do it so they can get the shot with Wembley in the background

I haven't lived in Coventry since 1992, I travel 162 miles each way to the Ricoh, Sixfields is closer. Last Sunday I was not at Sixfields I was at the Ricoh and I won't be at Sixfields for any other games. If the location is insignificant can we just start moving teams all over the place? Lets...

as they're so concerned about the use of taxpayers money I presume they will also be filing for a JR against Northampton Council as they have a hand in financing development at Sixfields and the rugby ground.

How can Joy be signing on behalf of companies she's supposedly not involved with, does this not add weight to the argument she is acting as a shadow director?

this is a key point. fisher keeps going on about revenue streams etc but when you account for the next few years lost revenue and the cost of the new stadium how does it stack up? if there was a credible business plan there might be a bit more support for a new stadium but there's nothing.

people are getting a tad carried away. we've won one out of three games and let in 10 goals in the process. we're 7 points away from being out of the relegation zone and yet I've heard talk of the play offs. what happens when the injuries and suspensions start mounting up or when someone gives...

You can't speak for everyone. Other clubs fans protested the groundshare and their clubs refused it, why do you assume we would just accept it and not follow the example set by the likes of Walsall?

It doesn't follow that if we weren't at Northampton we would be groundsharing elsewhere. Remember initially it had to be within 30 miles of Coventry and in the West Midlands, the clubs that met that condition all refused. If NTFC had followed their example and also refused rather than being so...

they've transferred the share to a newco, why didn't they do the same as they did at Pompey and say they would only grant the share either to certain parties (those who would keep the club in Coventry) or with certain conditions (such as honoring the lease for the Ricoh)

what is really concerning is their failure to grasp the most basic facts of the situation. at the time that the groundshare was approved there was a agreement in place to play a the Ricoh, it's just that SISU were choosing to ignore it!

sure ACL will be making millions with parking at £2 a go.

The idea that this offer couldn't be considered legally as part of the CVA is clearly misdirection from SISU. It is obvious they can agree a deal before the CVA is signed as they had agreed one with Northampton. They could have accepted the offer, signed the agreement, ACL would have then signed...

doesn't just have to be for sale it has to be for sale at the right price. how much would SISU want? If we say our hardcore fanbase is as high as 10K a lot of them wouldn't be able to afford to invest in the club so say you had 5K who say they will make a financial commitment. Even if you can...

the fact that the Football League can not answer very simple straightforward questions tells you everything you need to know about how fit for purpose they are.

where did the 400K figure come from initially, I have a feeling it was from something Fisher said. See a pattern here. Fisher asks for 400K, ACL say OK. Fisher asks for F&B, ACL say OK we'll give you our share of matchday revenues and setup a meeting with compass. Fisher says £170K at NTFC is...

How many exciting games do we have a season? if people turn up expecting it to be like that every week they won't be hanging around long when they see what rubbish we usually have to put up with!

if they went to watch City more often they'd know the places to park where you can get away quick! that's not really an uncommon problem tho, I've sat in the car park at Milton Keynes Bowl, Wembley Stadium etc for hours after events.

that was specific to a grant they received wasn't it? the terms of that grant have probably expired by now so that won't have any bearing on what they do now. And wasn't that related to the freehold think ACL was created to get round those regulations, CCC retained 100% ownership as required but...
