kcic-nopm campaign: Six Reasons not to go to sixfields (10 Viewers)

[No future with SISU]

Not sure if I read that right but you seem to be saying everyone who believes that the two groups who need to be talking to each other should have equal pressure put on them to encourage them to talk, are on the dole and most likely foreign, is that correct?

What i am saying is people expect the goverment to pay out and give everthing away for nothing. Sisu want the F&b for nothing and the stadium for nothing and they are a foreign company.

Is it 100% that it is permanent and not temporary or opinion before telling people it isn't?

So if you are going to travel and watch from the hill (and not give SISU money) then why not take SISU up on the free ticket offer and go in? Is there much difference?

You do realise that Coventry City ladies usually play their games in Bedworth, not Coventry?

The reason I can think of for not taking a free ticket is because it makes the fact that we're playing 35 miles away in Northampton and the fact that this is unpopular more obvious with an empty home supporters section. Looks bad on the FL show if there are only a handful of home supporters, and the away end has more in it. There is also the guilt aspect as I posted yesterday.

At the moment I would guess that the club are looking at any way to get bums on seats at NTFC in an attempt to get the appearance of increasing levels of support. The more people they can get in the early days then more are likely to see this and think they'll go too. Since they've seen lot's of other people there, the guilt of them going to Sixfields and abandoning NOPM has been somewhat lessened as they're not the only ones. If that means handing out tickets for next to nothing, or offering 2 games for the price of one that's fine even if they're not going to become regular supporters. What they will want to attract are lapsed season ticketholders and die hard fans who have stayed away who will come regularly.

We have clearly moved on from MG's figure of 22k break even, maybe you should too.

If they built their own stadium are they going to use it more than 23 days a year. Are they going to invest in the team in 3/5 years time and win the FA CUP so we will have more games at their new ground,also win the league cup for more games at new ground, win the premiership and into europe for more games at the new ground. Well they could do this at the ricoh for £400,000 which is cheap rent.

No, they will be able to sub let it out, function rooms, weddings, meetings, business events, etc, like they do at butts park arena.

1. It's not our team when playing at Northampton - Really? So what happens when we play away games, we not Coventry City either?
2. Vast majority are still doing exactly what they want to do. - Good for them, but some people do want to go to Sixfields.
3. Your a fool if you think they will move to a new stadium within. 5 years. And if they did it would only suit DIv 1 or 2 - Nope not a fool just optimistic.
4. We hate anyone who is killing our once club, you should too. - Oh I do don't worry I have an endless long list of people I dislike for the predicament we are in, however these people aren't going to stop me supporting my team. Just because I don't express my hatred as much doesn't mean I don't dislike certain parties.
5. Who do you sing with? - Other fans at games, close friends at the matches and banter at work when I see the lads in the warehouse..
6. Hope weather is good, can watch something else. - Your choice

Are you 12?

Do you ever use the word "sheeple"?

Serious questions.

Okay let's answer your questions:

Q: Are you 12?
A: No I am not, however if you are 12 or anyone else on the forum is for that matter I have no issues with that age..

Q: Do you ever use the word "sheeple"?
A: No I do not.

My reason for this point was because, there are too many people on this forum in particular with thread after thread and post after post with reasons you shouldn't go to Sixfields or people ridiculing others for going or suggestions that people don't care about the long term future of the club if they attend.

It's all a bunch of Grade A Horse Shite! I come on here like many others to follow transfer gossip, club news, engage with other fans, etc. However I am hardly going to start listening when people tell me what to do with my life and how I should show my support because ultimately it's my opinion on it all that counts.

This isn't a rant at you shmmeee, however I hope this has answered your serious questions in which you wanted a serious answer.

Well they could do this at the ricoh for £400,000 which is cheap rent.

Walsall pay 400K for use of their stadium. Crucially though, it is for 365 days use. Walsall, in 2007/08, averaged 5.5K, but their turnover in that year was approaching £7 million. We averaged over 19K, but our turnover was was a little over £9 million - and we had both higher ticket prices, and as the much bigger club, far higher merchandise sales. And yet, the difference is turnover was relatively small. Why? Because Walsall are able to bridge the gap by using the stadium that they have control of 365 days a year for other commercial activities.

It gets worse though - because even on those 25 days use we get (and remember, we were paying £1.3 million then), we didn't receive the matchday revenues generated by our own supporters.

400K is a crap deal for 25 days (partial) use. 1.3 million was the worst fucking deal in the history of deals. The fact you describe 400K as 'so cheap' suggests to me a. you're not very bright, b. you don't really care a great deal about your football club, and c. you probably have a poster of the ACL management team on your wall.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Where do you think the £21 million loan ACL borrowed from the bank went. The council have got it. ACL paid off £7 million in 6 years so as the accountant at ccfc said they have done well. SISU in 5 years £70 million debt. Which is the best company

I thought a good chunk of the £70m was paper debt anyway? Or is it real debt when it suits your argument? Please confirm.
