I'm yet to see a logical explanation as to why SISU would liquidate us.

What did SISU have to do to survive Northampton?
If you think we can do all that again, then good luck with that logic.

I’m not surprised by any of the things said in the statement.

I’ve heard the two clubs we could share with are Birmingham and Burton, how true this is I am unsure, but it’s what I’ve been told.

Each party can hang their heads shame, the Club has been ruined by leeches.

We don't know what's going to happen, last time we moved we had to receive a loan from the owners, we had to sell players to cover the attendance loss, it was a financial disaster, and I don't see how we could do it all again and survive.

Like I said the chances of the threat increases, along with other outcomes obviously. I know what worries me more.

You've picked something that has a 0.1% chance of happening and made it a headline.

Burton is the word from Ricoh security last home game, Eakin said he spoke to press colleagues at brum and it’s not there.

My money is on burton.

I remember seeing your thread. I do think it’ll be Birmingham though because they’ll want the closest option.

If I had to choose blues would be my choice no doubt very easy to get too forget burton.If we did move to blues I could potentially see my stance changing on if I was going to go or not that’s the one place I would consider as I’m pretty much on the A45.But what’s the long term plan is what worries me I can see this being 5-10 years even then what next how will we be taken over with no ground how will Sisu build a ground...sad times.

Hoffman must be gutted. Roped in by the council and London Wasps. Told we’ve got a football club for you to own, no bother at all. He gets his hopes up like a kid on Christmas morning only to realise he’s been had again, again.

Again.

Heard from a source Northampton again, makes sense as we've been there before. That's where it stops making sense. Utterly fucked off with the whole situation once more. If I had a cat it would be kicked around the house right now.

Can't see it being Birmingham. A 30k stadium with anywhere from 3-7k fans in.
Burtons 7k stadium with 2-3k is probably a better fit.
Wherever it is the owners need to subsidise the coach travel or hugely reduce ticket costs to compensate.
I'm guessing we just need to have a deal to play somewhere to satisfy the EFL, But we will still be hoping for a Ricoh deal before end of July.
As a side note if SISUs appeal is rejected in the meantime will Wasps be willing to talk?

Most supporters won’t be going to any groundshare, so whether it’s Burton, Birmingham or wherever it’ll be a farce and a complete embarrassment to everyone involved. They should all hang their heads in shame.

Yup that's exactly what will happen. We've always had to sell to survive (remember Rosario being sold for £400k?) and we'll save some by undoubtedly having a better rental deal at a groundshare than at the Ricoh.

Of course it's a clusterfuck of cunts all round, but this is all about ensuring the future of the club and we will survive.

What do we have on callum Wilson? Ten percent? If he goes for 50 million that's gonna plug the gap for a couple of seasons I would have thought

You think maybe that’s why sisu are talking about a ground share, might make Hoffman come back with a better offer, or is that just wishful thinking
