Didn't they ask the current steward a couple of months back if they were willing to travel? And what jurisdiction do West Midlands Police Force have in Northamptonshire?

Doesn't matter they are hitting the local community and yes they did ask the stewards and they gave the answer most of us would give they don't care they obviously have all the answers as they don't listen to anybody...

Thought it was common knowledge or are Northampton Town doing it out the goodness of their hearts?

As you said its what you'd heard that suggests its not common knowledge and I can't see any printed evidence anywhere.

Don't see what you are getting at ?
You are saying that they are employing stewards and ball boys and local Bill from Coventry and that the stadium comes Free?

I haven't said its free you said you'd heard its £200,000. I've no idea what they are paying.

The Policing bill is estimated at £70,000 alone who is paying that

The police bill is normally a separate bill the club pays anyway if it is Sixfields or Ricoh.

I'm not sure where you are going with this....

So are you still saying that they are playing for free at sixfields if so then lets all go and support them as they have pulled off the deal of the millennium.

To be fair should have posted this on the franchise thread FL have admitted that we may never return......

Thats not what he said.
The club has agreed a £1m bond with the Football League with assurances that it will return to Coventry and says it is assessing a site at the Brandon speedway stadium and another in the south west of the city. However, the League chairman, Greg Clarke, admits he "does not know" if they will really build a new ground.
Asked whether he believed the club would build a new stadium, Clarke said: "I don't know, they haven't told me whether they will or not. Everybody is posturing to get a deal, people say things to create impressions. Unreasonable things are happening. We have no power over the stadium owners or the club to tell them how to run their businesses. At some point there will have to be a compromise.
If anything it suggests that we'll eventually end up back at the ricoh as ccfc and ACL will have to come to a comprise at some point....

Since HMRC also voted against the CVA should we all stop paying all our taxes, refuse to buy fuel because of the duty, refuse to buy alcohol or cigarettes which have duty on, any goods which have VAT etc?
ACL had to pursue a creditor, legally bound to do so.
SISU did not have to take the club to play in Northampton. They could have honoured a contract and quietly negotiated a better deal.

What if the club had "quietly" been negotiating a better deal for years and got nowhere?

Yes they are playing at Sixfields for free.
But don't tell Northampton Town chairman.
Tim says cheque is in the post.

But SISU did get a reduction from 1.2M to 150K by a round about route. Then decided not to take it. Spiteful idiots.

No we can't stop paying our taxes. But we CAN stop attending ACLs publicity stunts, cant we?
We can send a message to both sides.

I think you might be holding out too much hope that by the time CCFC/SISU drop their NOPM to ACL campaign and want to talk, ACL haven't already moved on and found something else to do with the pitch area.

Well who were they negotiating with, Northampton? From reading this it doesn't seem like it was ACL.
