I understand that 99% of you will not be attending and I respect your view. SISU want us to be playing in Coventry, why wouldn't they? A move outside the city lowers revenue and ruins the relationship with the fans, if there was a suitable ground within the city we would be playing there. This isn't an issue of SISU wanting to leave the city, it's an issue of city wanting to leave the Ricoh.

The club was suffering a slow death under the Ricoh deal, that is undeniable. The action taken by SISU was horrendously executed but it was necessary for the survival of the club. The way our fans blame SISU 100% is puzzling, the council have been complicit with the mismanagement of the club for decades, ACL have been overcharging and making money out of the club (800k p/a).

SISU have been terrible owners that is a fact. But when have we ever been a well-run club? SISU clearly want success for the club, why else have they not sold us? They want to unite the club with the stadium and sell us, if they achieve that club will be in its best financial position for decades, perhaps ever. So what the NOPM strategy achieve?

SISU are no mugs, Tim Fisher will know attendance will be very low and will be making plans based on this. NOPM will not "starve out" SISU, it might kill the club. The fact that some fans have been talking about creating a phoenix club while the club is still alive is not right.

Who do you want to replace SISU? The bidders clearly didn't have the money they claimed to. Hoffman and Elliott have been involved in the mismanagement of the club for years.

ACL forced the club into administration last season to prevent liquidation. This season they forced us into liquidation. Why?

This has turned into a bit of a ramble but I'll end it with this.

I have no allegiance to CCC/ACL/SISU, only to CCFC. I'll be at Sixfields because I support CCFC, I won't be at the Ricoh supporting a landlord who gained control over my club due to mistakes of the previous regimes.

A simple question who would you rather come out of this mess better, SISU or ACL? If SISU succeed the club will be back in Coventry paying less rent and receiving match day revenue if ACL succeed the club might well die.

Why if they did not want to leave Coventry, why did they not give Hoffman's offer more credence.

Why did they not take the last ditch negotiations seriously.

Why did joy say I will get the Ricoh for the price I want no negotiation.

Why did they not drop the JR when it was obvious it had no legs

If the NOPM won't work why would bother saying don't do it.

If Mr Fisher expected these numbers why was he originally trying to find a 10k capacity stadium to share

Same could be said of the trust! None of the money from those bands is going to the charity!

As has been said before why shouldnt it who paid for the march they probably spent most of their funds on that so how much did you put in how much are you putting in? Or are we just trying to split the fans even more?

No-one has to justify their attendance/non-attendance to anybody else.

No they don't but they have to live with their conscience when their actions kill our club and it becomes Northampton SISU FC

why don't sisu just sell up?
at a reasonable price, of course, through an independant arbitrator,
& then buy northampton,
i'm sure ntfc fans would love that

The reason sisu never entered into the offered rent of £150k is simple the damage to the relationship between them and ACL is irreconcilable its like asking a bitterly divorced couple to sleep together for the sake of the kids, it just aint going to happen anytime soon.

What a load of bollocks! It's the same for both sides...I doubt if ACL were too chuffed with the attempt at putting them out of business as the judge in the JR review alluded to. Wake up and see that a reasonable rent of £150,000 a year rent with at least some profits is a lot better than losing the shitload they will by playing at Northampton for 5 years and possibly more.

Thank you for such insight yet £800, 000 x 6/7 years adds up to £60million debt, Oh someone get their maths teacher to help

SISU have hollowed out the kids to use them as crack-pipes.
