    Fickle Fans

    Maine Road had a capacity of 35k, some 12k higher than their lowest average. Filbert St had a capacity of 22k, some 7k higher than their lowest average. Southampton you have a point, but they still had a low average of 17k in the championship at St Marys.

    Fickle Fans

    Apart from Sheff Wed and Forest I don't think many can be classed as less fickle than us.

    Fickle Fans

    There seems to be a few amongst us who believes we are the most fickle fans in the country and that is the cause of our downfall. However this argument can be completely flawed simply by looking at the figures. Definition of fickle fans: A group of fans who turn up when things are going well...

    Sky Blue Sports & Leisure 2013 accounts

    Do you mean the same Leeds who's attendances are currently 45% lower than they were 10 years ago? Or perhaps you mean the same Man City who's attendances are currently 40% higher than when they were in the third tier? I'm assuming you must mean completely different teams as only Coventry...

    Less than a year to build??

    Are we talking a year for the actual construction? That's not really that impressive considering the Ricoh was built in about 18 months.

    Less than a year to build??

    Why would sisu build a new stadium just to dismantle it again? I know their less than blessed in the business acumen department but surely even their not that stupid?

    The nature of a football club

    Do you disagree with Mark Labovitch then when he says a club has to own a freehold in order to be successful?

    Sisu want the unencumbered freehold apparently.

    Locals boosting the crowd.

    I would be very surprised that a league 1 football team, playing in a town of 212k people, gets not 1 local watching them.

    Are you claiming zero Northampton fans attend?

    Locals boosting the crowd.

    You only need to look on the Northampton Town forum to see that some of the locals are boosting the crowd. To try and suggest their not is just moronic.

    UkRAINE/KIEV

    Well Russia has always considered Ukraine to be its territory. Putin is also power mad and won't want to lose his influence in Ukraine. The situation at the moment is very similar to Germany in the mid 30`s. Back then Germany had suffered a humiliating WW1 defeat 20 years previously...

    UkRAINE/KIEV

    Very tricky situation. The right thing to do would be for the Nato alliance to help in defending Ukraine. However the right thing to do could easily escalate into a Nuclear exchange and we'll all be dead. Whatever happens, I think its safe to say the cold war is back on.

    Are you saying every valuation of a business is always the same? If that's the case why is there a need for two valuations?

    Sisu had all that in the palm of their hand. Higgs wanted to sell and the club had an agreed formula to buy it. Unfortunately someone then decided to liquidate the club, losing the automatic right to that agreed formula. As for getting a valuation, what if the valuation doesn't meet what the...

    I would be delighted if the club purchased acl. Why don't they put in an offer? And by offer I mean a fair market price done properly and professionally. Not the normal. blackmail and intimidation that we have seen from sisu.
