The only way the gates are going to increase to 3000, is if they manage to persuade Northampton people to come and watch. The reasons for not going, even if you don't believe in NOPM are overwhelming. When there were no problems apparent away crowds were low, and to expect 3000 to attend now, with a 70 mile round journey - well unless they get promotion or a good draw in the cup, then it just isn't going to happen.
Whatever sisu say, they must surely ultimately want to get back to the ricoh, but they want it on their terms. The business case to run up such huge debts for a small club, that by building a small stadium will never reach the higher echelons of the football world just is not their. They will puff out their chests, bluster and threaten as they always have, but they only have one card to play - and they have already played it!
ACL will in the short term struggle without the club maybe, but if sisu try and bluff for too long, ACL will simply move to plan B. The potential for earnings at the site are huge if used correctly. Sooner or later sisu will come out saying they have always been ready to talk. I suspect Fisher will be sacked before this happens though
