So by you agreeing with this, you admit if it wasn't for people like me and those that refused to go and held out on principle, we'd be playing football in Northampton now?

I'm not sure people staying away forced sisu into bringing us back to be honest, (I didn't go when they moved us to Sixfields).

Unless sisu come out and say we moved back because the crowds were 2,500 but would have stayed if they were 7,500 then it's impossible to prove.

Trying to second guess the motivation behind anything sisu do is always a bit tricky seem as they don't seem to have a plan or a strategy for anything.

I suppose they are, but for you to claim the high ground?... Nah I don't think so.

I'm not claiming any ground. You're the one trying to do that. I'm merely showing you that I could if I wanted to and it would be higher than yours.

It was absolutely heart wrenching when we moved. Saturdays completely changed, days booked off work for no reason. Not seeing my mates as much. Meanwhile nothing changed for you.

And if I'm being honest, fair play for not going to Sixfields. Just don't try to claim it when you wouldn't have gone that season if we were at the Ricoh either.

When the news broke about us coming back to the Ricoh IIRC I said if SISU showed a distinct care for us and started to do the right thing by the fans I would seriously consider returning myself. They, or rather "Dim Tim" had to spoil it by saying it was only a temporary move on the afternoon that we played Gillingham that night. Needless to say... I'm still NOPM! and it will now stay that way till they are gone!

Surely if 30yrs on from our pinnacle of success globally, we return to the new Wembley - everyone should put differences & principles aside & get as many in there as we can to make it an amazing & unforgettable & fun day out?
God knows we deserve one!

And it sends that message of what could be to our owners(/potential owners)

Trust me, they already know what they're missing out on mate.. JPT against Crewe, Gillingham, etc. both full houses. Any potential owners know too... It's a case of SISU cba for some reason, and SISU won't sell. On many occasions our away support was at least double and sometimes three times more than home support at Sixfields.

Sorry but it took a year to realise that the fans were not going to come to Sixfields, they panicked, and considering the football we were playing at the time, i'd say fans who voted with their feet won that battle. They were planning on staying at Sixfields for 3-5 years, that changed when fans never turned up didn't it?!! IMO.

SISU want money, they never got it at Sixfields, common sense would say they brought us back for that reason alone.

I've wondered why he just argues with people . he clearly has an agenda , what that is ? I've no idea . maybe it pays him to do so or he really doesn't have a life going on the hours/ days he spends on here. very strange .

Not sure and not worried about his or anyone's agenda for that matter, I have my own agenda and it's only directed at SISU. It's my problem and no-one else's
