Could you clarify how it was illegal exactly?

And that highlights why I get annoyed when people who attended the JPT Semi were branded as plastics. There is a world of difference between those that turned up to see the Chelsea team in the FA Cup and those that went to see Crewe. The non regulars that went to the Crewe game went...

Anyway, regardless of their reasons, thousands of city fans are not going to Sixfields, that otherwise would if we were at the Ricoh. That's the only thing that matters.

If you live on the eastern side of Coventry then Northampton is no more difficult to get to than Brum. (By car at least anyway)

I was on about the poor view in the lower tier, good view from upper tier, and large queues.

Sounds like the West Stand at Highfield Road.

May I ask why you think people cant be arsed to travel to Northampton, yet greater numbers have travelled to Wolves, Port Vale, Walsall etc? I don't mean to sound patronising but as you say you don't live around here. Your opinion of city fans is based on what is said on here. I cant tell you...

It would be a test to see what the players are really like. Good players don't crumble under pressure. If they aspire to be the best they would love playing in front of 20k at the Ricoh.

My opinion is neither of them two. I understand why people want to see their team, but I dont think they realise what they are doing. Those that go need to accept that by doing so they are supporting what has happened. Much in the same way that those of us that dont go will be...

We dont really know that though do we?

We fill it when we're successful. Seems you don't have much faith in the football side of things in the coming years.

Those 24 forced Ann Lucas into a complete U turn you know. In fact they are so powerful they caused her to have a premonition a week before it so she could have a statement ready in time.

So do you think its cost effective to alter the size of the stadium every season? Do you not find it humiliating that we are even considering a 12k stadium? How long do you think it takes to extend even a single stand with planning permission etc? Do you think crowds will always be this low...

I really think your missing the point.

Exactly. The Ricoh was built for the clubs potential support, not a snapshot of it at a certain point in time.

Thirdly giving city fans something they can be united on - dislike of him.

I don't doubt that, but him saying about how much he loves it here just before leaving shows the sort of man he is. A simple "its above my head" comment at the time would have sufficed.

I don't blame anyone for wanting to better themselves, but his little "sky blue blood" speech a week before leaving was unforgivable. Gave the fans hope when he knew he was about to leave. Loyalty of Bellamy with the honesty of Fisher.

The Ricoh at its peak had more season ticket holders, who do pay less per game than the pay on the gate fans. That is the same at every club for the past 100 years. It doesn't necessarily suggest freebies or discounts, it just suggests more season ticket holders. If the club is ever successful...

My opinion of that man is somewhere between Craig Bellamy and Tim Fisher.
