Hi all, new poster here.
I wonder what will happen a few years down the line if nothing is resolved. I suspect that the owners have no intention of building a new ground (but of course I could be wrong). But if that is the case would the club join up with Northampton to form a new entity? The league may let it happen if recent events are anything to go by.
Even if they just go along as they are will the fans who go to Sixfields now still be going five years or so in the future?
After a few years with no club in the city will a phoenix club start and be taken seriously?
Lastly if you play in a non league ground (as Sixfields may be next season) in front of non league crowds, there is a possibility you will become a non league club.
I would be interested in other opinions.
Cheers all.

unfortunately, this has been discussed many times since last 5/6 months.

but I would not follow an MK Coventry.

I'd support the phoenix club, on the condition they received the clubs honors.

Don't think a merger or franchise, or for that matter a new ground, is likely or even possible.

It's quite literally Ricoh or bust IMO.

WRT a Phoenix club, only ever if the club disappears. As to how it will be received, that depends on how/when the club dies and how it's backed and set up.

Yeah a Phoenix is only viable if the club permanently relocates and refranchises or ceases to exist.
