    NTFC fan view

    there's this thing you may have heard of called due diligence. if the rent was an issue it should have been an issue on day 1 not years later. If Robinson was aware of it being an issue why were SISU not capable of spotting the problem when they took control? Do I think the £1.2m rent is too...

    SISU still after the Ricoh?

    Totally what they are after. Never in a million years will they build a ground. They think this will make ACL panic and hand them the stadium but the actions of ACL today suggest otherwise.

    Fisher bigs up Rotherham's new stadium

    If Fisher thinks the Rotherham stadium is nice he's going to shit himself when he sees the Ricoh :D

    The Dons worried and they shoud know.

    wasn't Wimbledons stadium sat empty for years after they left?

    Cobblers defiant after threat

    The argument will be that NTFC are entering into the arrangement knowing that CCFC have an existing arrangement with ACL. In doing this they will be seen to be enticing CCFC to break their existing agreement as nobody is going to claim CCFC are going to pay the rent at the Ricoh and Sixfields...

    Let me start a rumor (make that two rumors)

    Going to be interesting to see how this plays out. My understanding is that usually a new holding company would be formed by the new owners which would then take ownership of the existing Ltd company so the FL would be issuing the GS to that same Ltd company. SISU seem to be wanting to leave Ltd...

    Starting season in admin

    It seems very likely we will start the season in admin even if ACL accept the CVA. Won't this impact on the groundshare? I thought that could only start once we are out of admin? Presumably that means Appleton is still in charge and will need to take up ACL on their offer to play at the Rioch...

    I live in Portsmouth so I'd be one of those, of course it didn't say if it would be closer or further away so didn't really have any influence on my answer. But if only 25% said yes, given the way the question was phrased and the fact it was before all this rubbish about playing at Northampton...

    Cobblers defiant after threat

    I would imagine they are thinking that no contract has yet been signed as Otium can't agree anything until we are out of admin and therefore they are wanting to apply enough pressure though various means that Cardoza rethinks about the easy money he's getting offered. Will also have attracted...

    Ricoh Arena to sue Northampton Town FC

    As far as I know it is going to involve Lady Godiva, not sure who's got nominated for that role! Imagine there will be more details in the next couple of days as they've only just had the go ahead from the police.

    Ricoh Arena to sue Northampton Town FC

    that's a bit harsh. just take a look on the hotel end forum, every time a Cov fan goes on there to point out what is actually going on and why NTFC fans should be against it they get a load of abuse! The trust are arranging a protest on July 20th and I'm sure your fans will be very welcome. As...

    Cobblers defiant after threat

    I would assume ACL have spoken with a lawyer before they've done this so they must have some belief there is a case to answer. Wonder if NTFC have any agreement with SISU for them to cover legal fees, doubt it. being dragged through the courts, should it come to that, is going to eat into the...

    Powell explains why ACL are suing NTFC

    I was under the impression that no groundshare could commence while we are in admin and that we will def still be in admin at the start of the season. In that case why would ACL be making a deal with Otium they are quite right to say they will deal with the administrator, nothing to say they...

    Powell explains why ACL are suing NTFC

    so what you're saying then is if as much pressure as possible is put on NTFC then they will pull out there will be no penalty to pay and SISU will have to go crawling back to ACL asking to play at the Ricoh.

    Have acl got sisu by the balls?

    I've always thought this, you can't cherry pick the bits of Ltd you want either as that would clearly be asset stripping. I think ACL will argue that the lease is tied to the football club and as the share moves around so does the lease.

    Look how the question is phrased: With no other option than looking at an alternative venue to host our matches, would you attend games at another stadium outside of Coventry in the short term, to help preserve the long term future of your club? I answered yes but there's no way I'm going to...

    ACL move things up a few gears

    It's not too complicated, PA is the administer and he was selected by SISU and has made Otium (a SISU clone) preferred bidder. He is now saying he wants to be the independent mediator. Either he's offering as the administrator and he's therefore not independent or he's not offering as the...

    Ricoh Arena to sue Northampton Town FC

    the legal chap speaking on behalf of ACL seemed to imply there was an argument to be had that the lease is tied to the golden share and even if SISU liquidate ltd with the lease in it ACL have a claim that it's still valid. Cardoza might regret publicly saying SISU could afford ot pay the rent...

    Question for PWKH

    I put a tenner on one of those cards when they went cashless and it's still got money on it! A lot of people can manage to go 2 hours without a pie!
