Hi, I've not been on here for ages, as I only logged on way back when for strange reasons your club decided to play their games in my home town. (The NTFC Chairman at the time, Cadoza, who arranged it all is now run out of town (and the country) for nefarious reasons...I could explain more if anyone was interested).
Anyway, I got a bit of stick then for suggesting your owners saw you as a potential Franchise FC Mark II. "It would never happen" many folk said. But now I log-in and see such a possibility being seriously talked about. Where would they move you? Birmingham? West London? Milton Keynes?!!!
Also of course, you've seen RFC Franchise suddenly appear like the cuckoo in the nest, taking the stadium for themselves, running the show for themselves and not CCFC etc.
So how ironic was it when a few years back the CCFC fans protested about the club being temporarily moved (franchised?) to Northampton by......taking 5,000 people to watch Franchise FC in Milton Keynes!!
At a time when the Football League is considering 4 divisions, bringing in Under 23 EPL teams to the Associate Members cup (whatever it's called this year) and in fact doing anything at all that makes money with a sod-the-poor-buggers-who-actually-love-the-game attitude, surely now is the time for CCFS fans to protest about franchising in general, and the risk of their own club being franchised elsewhere in particular.
You play "MK Dons" (Franchise FC) away on 18 March 2017...plenty of time to arrange a better day out than supporting their shady Chairman with your money and instead having a protest day / party day or whatever and trying to highlight the risk your own club now faces. Ignore it at your peril....just ask AFC Wimbledon supporters.
