I need to sit down and have a talk and clarify the future of the club because it’s not the most ideal situation at the minute
We’re here at Northampton, which is not the greatest,
Most definitely. SP said as much just the other week.
My biggest fear is that when we return to the ricoh the fan base will be so decimated by Sisu that the playing environment won't be that much different to what's currently experienced at sixfields.
We need to be back for the start of next season as damage limitation, anything less and I'm struggling to see how the club can survive.
They didn't thoroughly piss off 90% of their support maybe??
How did other clubs survive? E.g Bristol rovers and Brighton?
I thought crowds were down as people objected to leaving Coventry and people would lose interest and do other things?
Is it detrimental to us keeping and signing future players?
It has been common knowledge Cyrus Christie will be off in the summer, but comments like these make me wonder how the players feel playing there

Fan approval. Clearly something lost on Sisu.
Statistically NO.
I can just imagine the sort of booing Baker would have got this year from our "fans" in the Telegraph stand. Same goes for Christie too for his second half of season performances.
To suggest the team has never been booed at Sixfields is a complete untruth.
I didn't think you attended Sixfields?
Confession time?

Fans approval? Gates have quadrupled at Brighton - Bristol were away for a decade.
So if fans are happy with their owners are you saying a move outside of the city boundaries is never an issue?
Interesting feedback.
I have a thing called a radio.
And from that you can tell who is booing who?
Yes.
Unless linnell and eakin are lying with comments such as "the home crowd are getting restless" followed by a booing sound.
Jesus it was actually a fair question turned into the the usual crap, I'm starting to worry about you Grendel since your special meeting with Mr Mark Labotit you seem determined to turn every question regarding the situation we're in into a veiled defence of our owners.
In answer to the question I'm 100% certain our current home ground and the attendances at said ground will have a negative effective in signing current and future players.

Or he's spoken to people? Or maybe seen what they have posted on here perhaps? Or listened to the radio and heard first hand?
Don't think everything is a conspiracy to be honest.
Statistically NO.

Thank you for proving me right. Clearly from your examples the owners had fans approval. Moving anywhere with fan approval is not an issue. Moving without fan approval clearly is, as perfectly demonstrated by the disastert that is Coventry City playing in Northampton.
I take it you think it's been a roaring success. Interesting feedback.

I've clearly heard it on the radio and on my one visit to the hill. I'm not saying people inside sixfields don't have the right (although I am proud to say I've never booed my own team) but to say otherwise is denial.
An emotive and typically irrational response.
The Brighton move wasn't supported and gates declined sharply.
There is no statistical evidence to support your theory.
The evidence all suggests crowds will increase if the club returned even a decade later. In fact if under your "theory" the return was with new owners that would be the case.
Crowds will not be lower - there is no base evidence to support your claim.
So you're saying the club being abused by it's owners doesn't matter because you predict it will be all OK in the end because everything is definitely going to turn out as it did at Brighton and not at Wimbledon.
You really are an idiot.
The notion I was challenging was that gates would decline if we do not rapidly return.
The statistical evidence suggests the contrary is likely to happen and gates would increase.
Players will sign for a club purely based on the contract on offer. Its it better they stay if its worse they don't. Baker is on a lucrative contract so stays. Christie is a free agent and sees better deals elsewhere so leaves.
When at the Ricoh Clive Platt was offered a one year deal. He moved to shitsfields as they offered a two year deal.
Agree. I've never booed my own team. I've heard the odd discontented boo at Sixfields but nowhere near as the amount of times as at the Ricoh. But on the other hand there are less prople there, etc.

No I am stating the weight of evidence supports my notion.
You have no statistics and just call me an idiot.
Case closed.
