Fair point, I think they've played quarters and other games away from Northampton (at Stadium MK) as well. I believe they were in a situation where they wanted to expand their ground but couldn't get permission so started playing bigger games elsewhere. Now they have permission and their council...

Maybe a few Wimbledon fans will join us in the home end!

I must have missed the huge protests and petition from Saints fans. The fact that 22K turned up at Stadium MK and 27K turned up at the Rioch would seem to indicate it wasn't an issue.

situation a) club moved out of home town where suitable stadium is available against fans wishes which will mean the loss of tens of millions in revenue situation b) club plays limited number of home games out of home town as stadium can't cope with demand with the endorsement of fans leading...

This has got to be the next protest, get a bigger crowd at this game than Sixfields. Anyone know who are they playing?

Coventry are being moved against fans wishes. Northampton Saints play some of their games at other grounds (they have used the Ricoh and MK Dons in the past) as their ground isn't big enough. There was no objection to this from their fans and it won't be a problem for much longer as their own...

The difference would be that they were actively looking for somewhere to play cup games as their ground was too small. They've played before at the Ricoh and also I think at MK Dons with no objection from their fans.

they can do what they want but it would be very transparent what they are doing. the longer this goes on and if it does end up in court etc the more the spotlight will be on the FL and they must know they haven't done a good job with this, not the way they want to look when the government is...

Sinclaire seems increasingly out of her depth. See her on twitter now saying ACL are to blame and we have to stay with SISU as there are no other options. Can't see how you can reach that conclusion when ACL are offering the deal they are and there were other buyers interested when we went into...

while I'm sure ACL / Higgs / Council aren't entirely blameless they have offered to reduce the rent from £1.3m to £150K, what have SISU done to try and enable the situation to be resolved?

Shouldn't take them long to wheel the barrow over from Tesco, tunnel under the trainline could be a bit of a bugger.

Everything was in the same place before we went into administration, why didn't he bid then? It's really not complicated and if he can't understand it (which is possible seeing as he can't manage to send an email) then he's not really a prime candidate for taking over. All the companies (Ltd...

As the football club is still in admin those potential buyers he's talking about haven't yet taken over and won't have done by the time the first match is scheduled for Sixfields. So how come tickets are already on sale and who's he made an agreement with for those early matches?

Cardoza's defence to the letter ACL sent a few weeks ago was along the lines that he made a deal with Otium, potential new owners of CCFC and therefore nothing to do with the current lease or CCFC Ltd. Now it's clear we will still be in administration for the first 'home' games that statement is...

clearly everyone needs to move forward. if a deal can be agreed it's pointless proceeding with the JR, it's just another costly distraction and will lead to more falling out. just draw a line under the whole thing, get new people at the table on both sides and move forward. i would much rather...

is the option to buy back the 50% Higgs own now off the table or is it that the council won't sell their 50% or the freehold?

Can't remember what PWKH said but won't the option to buy the Higgs share still be available if Ltd isn't liquidated?

good point, we know Ltd can't submit theirs due to administration but Otium and Holdings don't have that problem. You would have thought SISU would want to have everything ready to go ASAP.

you are correct OSB. there was some questioning down in the this part of the world with some of the owners pompey had and the answer that came from the FL essentially it was that way as they could not afford to do any form of proper test or defend themselves in court if they turned anyone down...
