Listen, we are returning to the Ricoh and that is that. How can anyone believe that the likes of Swanson, O'brien, Tudgay and Jackson would have signed for a club playing in front of 1500 fans every week? It just wouldnt have happened. We are returning to the Ricoh- sooner rather than later and one day soon there will be a rumour of a return that someone will post a thread about and it wil be true. I imagine that person will receive the same amount of criticism that this guy has and you will all look silly when it turns out to be true. So keep the rumours coming guys , to me its jutst one more rumour closer to a return PUSB

Said exactly same thing to my mate that players would not come here if a return to the Ricoh was not on the cards

Doesn't have to be the Ricoh - they could have been shown the artist's impression of the impending new arena.

I was at my local gym in the evening and a cov city player dad was also there and he told my mate that CCFC returning back to ricoh for Sept. They only thing that doesn't tie up for me is the last minute appeal. My mate said that they put the car park signs again. Fingers cross its all true.

There most likely is a lot of activity at the Ricoh at the moment but unfortunately its probably for this http://insomniagamingfestival.com rather than our impending return.

A move back to the Ricoh is imminent, was told that again just yesterday, apparently this drop the legals stance by ACL is stalling an announcement but was told from a sisu point of view a return has to happen, losing too much money now and remember it is investors money they will be losing. What could be interesting will a move back coincide with the end of Tim Fisher's reign, was told that is more than a possibility, a win win situation.

That would cause several heart attacks through sheer excitement if that was the case

So basically, nothing's happening, but Sisu don't want to drop the legals and are blaming it on ACL. So business as usual?

I'd like nothing more than a Ricoh return but there has been so many false dawns now that it's hard not to view these 'in-the-know' posters cynically.

SISU putting in an appeal doesn't mean an appeal will happen, I think they had a deadline to meet to register any appeal. Also I think they have appealed the judge at the hearing denying them an appeal, not the actual verdict.

But Sisu not appealing does.

And yes, they are appealing the verdict. "Wrong in fact and law" remember?

Sorry, don't see any hope in your rumour just more Sisu spin. Wake me up when it's not a rumour from Sisu blaming everyone but themselves.

Telling their names would mean nothing but it was part of a discussion with people who, IF there was truth in it I assume would know and not just be sounding off for the sake of it. There is plenty of smoke around just need the fire and recent comments from Fisher suggests something is in the wind.

Fisher has burnt his bridges with Cov fans I think. Everything he has said well 90% is bollocks and proven bollocks. If sisu are to come back then I see it as a good move to bring someone in who has a clean start.

Yes fisher business wise is actually a good bloke and I half feel sorry for the man as it's clear he has to spout the dribble from the top bosses but still he is just a sisu puppet and sisu would do well replacing him if nothing else but to show fresh energy and start a clean slate.

The original line was that the investors could and would fund any losses incurred by moving to Northampton for 3 to 5 years, this funding was confirmed by the Football League.

You appear to be stating that the investors can no longer fund the move so someone has provided misleading information and the Football League have not been doing proper checking. I don't think anyone is surprised by this conclusion.

To be fair to RP, it could be that they are in a position to continue to fund the club for the alloted period but simply do not wish to continue to do so.

I still don't believe a word of it, but as I and many other have said, if we keep having a rumour a day, every day for the foreseeable future, then one day one might just be lucky enough to be right.

SISU don't want to bring our club home unless they own the Ricoh. CCC won't sell to them. And SISU have done whatever they can to not negotiate our return.

If negotiations were happening we would have heard by now. And that wouldn't be from a mate of a mate. I can't see SISU wasting millions just to give up. I see it as the first to blink. And SISU have just handed nearly half a million over so no need for ACL to blink for another year or more. And SISU have another two years at least before they have to do anything.
