They took on the groundstaff that sisu made redundant so you would assume the pitch is looking perfect.

Wrong on so many levels that a beautiful stadium like the Ricoh doesn't have a professional team playing there.

We (CCFC) were never that welcomed there, right from the beginning in 2003 when the then owners and chairman were put into the position of signing a "rental" contract of £1:28 MILLION which was always unsustainable!

Long before SISU arrived GHU!

Ask Labour MP Geoffrey Robinson?

The only reason Ccfc ended up paying that rent was because gold old Robinson would have lost his investment had the Higgs and council not bailed the club out.

Robinson and Paul Fletcher are the two biggest hypocrites in Coventry city history, and I have no respect for anything either of them say.

And ofcourse we are welcome at northampton?

Nothing to do with the rent we are paying Oh and the employement of all the locals and all the matchday revenue Northampton get while we are there.

Of course not we can't survive without owning our own.

Oh yes we can we will be subsidised for 5 years with no more debts to the club Oh and we will get a shiney new ground out of it not bad for nothing.....

You could be correct.
What I cannot understand is

A. Why did SISU buy CCFC, surely they would have known the Rent was unsustainable
B. Why has it taken 6 years for SISU to realise this and do something about it.
