surely a better way to reduce the wage bill would be to have them playing and training so someone might actually sign them?

Aren't some of those old grounds that got sold back to the council for next to nothing? Looking at the details of the deal PBoro announced recently with their council SISU should be snapping ACLs hand off with an offer of £400K a year.

there was another Xmas game against Spurs where Gazza whacked Lloyd McGrath and broke his own arm!

if you want to get conspiracy theory do they get paid an appearance fee if they come on?

I'm not convinced the bomb squad is down to him. I can see why he would want to get rid of most of them, not least FFP reasons but if he's really insisting on not even considering Edge when we've only got 1 central defender he must be mental.

never thought i'd be saying this but we could do with a player like him. we've got no bite in midfield and with the central defence we've got the last thing we need is players running through the middle all the time.

it was pissing it down that day as well, remember we were standing behind the goal on an open terrace and they kept pushing kick off back as it was on the TV and news of Mandelas release was breaking.

why is it in the interest of the city to retain ownership? it's not like it's making a huge profit to fund additional services / cut council tax bills. surely anyone who owned it would want it to be successful so it's not like, assuming they are responsible owners unlike SISU, it will suddenly...

so long as there's more people at the Ricoh than there is at Sixfields, that'll do for me. it should be a good laugh tho and for a fiver you can't go wrong really.

the original deal (which I think was running out shortly anyway) goes with Ltd being liquidated. I believe, PWKH will be able to confirm, that SISU wouldn't pay the amount the formula dictated and put in a lower offer, which Higgs accepted and then heard nothing else from SISU.

great news! ordered tickets for my Dad and myself for it. Quite excited actually, will be good to see the likes of Hucks. how about getting all the players and celebs involved to sign the shirts after the game and auction them off for the charities?

Sky won't ignore it anyway, even if it was only a couple of hundred on the hill they are bound to show it, especially if they talk about why there's only about 50 home fans there.

Surely it can't be that difficult to come up with a valuation, wouldn't the council have to know roughly what it's asset value was? No idea what stadiums are worth but Fratton Park was valued at something like £4m in the recent takeover by their supporters. I know that's nothing like the Rioch...

I thought the hill was only cordoned off when NTFC played Man Utd or someone of similar size. They aren't going to class Cov v Sheff Utd in quite the same manner surely. The police have already confirmed they have no issue with a peaceful protest on the hill. Interesting point that was...

How much are these revenue streams worth at the Ricoh anyway. People don't spend that much in 2 hours at the Rioch do they? I've probably spent a grand total of about a tenner since the place opened.

The first time we beat Villa was great, remember Oggy getting the "the whats the score" chant when we were 2 up and without turning round he just stuck out 2 fingers on one hand. Forest 5-4 cup game was a cracker but not good for anyone's stress levels.

how much would this actually cost? there must be a CCFC supporting lawyer who would do it at cost. Not sure there would be much chance of winning but could get some press and prove embarrassing for the FL. You never know, if they have to start justifying their decisions the whole house of cards...

Get the Sheff Utd fans to take some SISU out banners in and then as many people as possible on Jimmy's Hill, totally peaceful but sure to be picked up by Sky.

Home league game against Wimbledon, must have been late 80s or early 90s. Was freezing and chucking it down, at one point it was hailing so hard you could even watch the game. Think it was a late own goal that lost us the game.

Yes you can get them on the gate. It will be street parking, don't expect it will be that busy.
