They've had over a year to try and work out a deal to get us back to the ricoh, I doubt they're going to sort things out in time for the start of the season, I'd bet we don't finish the the season at sixfields though, something's going on fingers crossed

I got a message from the RicohArena twitter account asking me to vote for them so they can get some event or other.

That could be a guide, bookies don't give money away lightly.

Yeah, but that's for the S Club 7 comeback tour.

They are hoping for a sell out........


Of the first 2 rows of the Tesco Stand.

If they ain't talking, how can something be going on. I can't see city ever going back to the Ricoh and it looks as though sisus "open letter" has had its desired effect on some fans.

It's obvious everybody wants to be back at the Ricoh, the fans,the players, the manager, even sisu want us back, they'll be talking, they just won't be telling everyone

Yeah, can't believe how some people are taken in so easily.

They will start and finish at Sixfields this season..

I assume you are refering to 'Race of Champions'. Anyone who has slightest interest in motorsport knows this is a huge event.

As far as return to the Ricoh goes I'll believe it when im start there at 2.55 waiting for kick off, until then its all rubbish

Good point. On the other hand many seem to have been taken in by Michael Orton's guesses at what isn't happening. The thing is, no-one on the outside knows.

Whatever will be, will be.

Staggered that anyone takes a period of confusion over next steps, exact timings on deadlines and their implications, coupled with radio silence from all side, to come to a conclusion that "something is brewing" for an amicable agreement over return.

Seems to me like we are in exactly the state of uninformed limbo as we have been for a year. SISU will do nothing until their last remaining chances to drag this out are removed I.e FL ruling on amount to be paid to ACL (if they have the balls to deliver one), costs being attributed post JR and the appeal authorisation (or not)

Can't see any way all this will be sorted in less than a month. Would like nothing more than to be pleasantly surprised but suspect the only way return can happen is when it is truly SISU's only choice.

Sorry can't see it happening. I can't believe they have had one meeting about returning.

It's no nearer to happening than last season.

Completely agree with this. In fact I expect no change all season. Both sides are far too stubborn.

According to some it's Conor Thomas' Dad who has said we are coming back to the Ricoh and that he was told by Conor himself. If true you'd think the players ought to know about it.

This is exactly how the 'story' has started, by a friends dad who knows a friend, who has spoke to a player blah blah blah fooking meh!

At Least it keeps Nicks website entertained with even more dross.

Sounds like an excuse for some to buy a season ticket "just in case", and then going to Northampton since they brought it and might as well use it.
