I watched an eleven goal thriller at the Ricoh and enjoyed every minute of it. If I can make an away game midweek I'll go and support them, just not going to go anywhere near Sixfields.
you missed a cracker today. The only soul that remains in ccfc rest with the players. It wouldn't make sense not to support them.
As are those who provide ACL with revenue from food,,drink and parking.
Need to starve them both back into talks, if they get their food,drink and parking money in without the team then what incentive is there for them to want the club back?
well according to some yesterday the bars etc were not open at 6 flds, if true, and I am happy to be corrected by the few that went, then food and beverage issue is rubbish
strange how a newbie posts an old picture of northampton and not todays game ,Pic from another angle on the attendance:
Why? For supporting in their own way? It's typical that once you're bored of moaning about Sisu and ACL, people start looking for someone new, until they feel they've been heard. Usually it's the manager they turn on at some point, but in our situation it's fans turning on fans. If you believe the best way out of this is to starve Sisu of money, fair enough go for it, but don't have a go at supporters who may think differently to you and would like to pay our player's wages. This isn't the fucking 80s mining strikes, people's lives don't depend on the picket line so can this stop now and we all get on with prgress.
2 of my mates went today - had a wicked day! Everyone who went to the Ricoh for the charity match - did you know ACL charged them for it, on top of taking the revenue for food/drink? Who's pockets do you line - ACL/Sisu - they're evidentally both corrupt.
I'm not ever going to Sixfields, but I envy those who did today, and I don't hold anything against them.
The point has never been that Sixfields offers an immediate gain, that has never been SISU's argument.
......................what is it that Sixfields offers? ( not a medium term gain, or a long term gain..........from where I'm standing)
strange how a newbie posts an old picture of northampton and not todays game ,
quite sad that they are having to stoop to such ridiculous claims , actually embarrassing
Shame it didn't burn with the scab twats in it.
That IS today's game you fool.
I wouldn't hold your breath.
I can understand the Sixfields boycott and what it is trying to achieve (even if I think it will make no real difference). I can understand protests and the march into Broadgate was a wonderful statement. The big ACL love-in today though (and for some that's what it was - at least in part) I do not get at all.
if so then that is a shame they didn't take a picture of the other empty sides
Must admit I forgot it will look full in 1 end when the stadium holds 7/8,000
So it was you who took the photo was it ?
or are you easily fooled
going on your previous postings i know where i would put my money
It offers a negotiating hand and a breaking of the monopoly of supply.
I seriously doubt SISU want to be stuck with a homeless third division football club
Indeed.
Hence from their POV why they need to break the monopoly.
Just for comparism :
Northampton had 3.400 and 4.300 for their first two home matches...
Yes but they actually played their home matches at home.
I don't believe there is a chance in hell that ACL will agree any type of sale to SISU, a new rental deal yes, but things have gone far too far for any even partial sale. It is equally as hard to see how Fisher could possibly do a volte face and suddenly agree any type of rental deal. Virtually no one seriously believes Fisher's new stadium 'promise'. Rugby council apparently have not had any approach re planning concerning any new stadium build. Increasingly it looks the club will be marooned at Northampton, until SISU finally accept the games over, trouble is by then how low will we have sunk.Except if ACL decide to say bugger off then and stay in Northampton, we've got a business to run and as you obviously aren't coming back on reasonable terms* we will be doing something else on Saturday afternoons and the pitch. I seriously doubt SISU want to be stuck with a homeless third division football club, or that they'll build the White Elephant stadium to bring us back home.
* assuming the ACL statement is correct.
Have you got any proof that ACL charged them (by which I assume you mean the Former Players Association) anything? Only the announcement at the end said everyone had given up their time for free. Even the groundsman played in goal and must have been horrified by the pitch invasion at the end.
If the plan is to distress ACL then I can't see Joy sanctioning any rental deal as from her point of view she has the same aim as a portion of the fans NOPM (just to ACL). If the plan is to actually build the White Elephant then why distress your own income by moving to Sixfields whilst you do so?I don't believe there is a chance in hell that ACL will agree any type of sale to SISU, a new rental deal yes, but things have gone far too far for any even partial sale.

Yep - mate of mine works internally. We're talking tens of thousands.

The more you try and make sense of it, the less sense it makes. I heard a couple of whispers earlier about takeover talks. No more than whispers though amongst the corporate stiffs today, but that has only come second hand. You just have to hope it's true.
What are you talking about? No I didn't take the picture, but it was clearly taken by someone who was stood on the hill. The fact that you can't see the other parts of the ground is precisely because that person was STOOD ON THE HILL and didn't have a camera that can see around corners. Although there are plenty of pictures showing the empty stands if you want to look at them and make yourself feel better.
Why does that picture make you so angry anyway? The published attendance states that there were less than 1K there. The fact that the picture, taken from a distance, at an angle and by the looks of it, just after city have scored (hence people are on their feet), makes it look like the stand was better populated than it was is of no relevance whatsoever. There were LESS than 1k city fans there. That is good, isn't it?
who's angry sounds like you
I'm quite happy in my stance of never going into sixfields
How can fans whinge about Sexfields being empty when the Red-ko is lucky to be half full....?

Well done to my fellow LOYAL Sky Blue supporters at Sixfields today.:claping hands:
