Glad I'm not the only one who finds people who argue a viewpoint "for the sake of it" tiresome.

No he's not, but he is someone who didn't grow up locally or support CCFC until I converted him when he was 20 (that's 16 years ago). He's been going away every week to get around paying SISU, but has understandably had enough. He lives on the Northants side of Rugby so they are his next-closest local team.

Didn't realise, Cov aren't my nearest team either so I'll start following a new one now.

I have it on good authority that the good news is that CCFC and the Cobblers have agreed to share the redevelopment costs for a new stadium.
The divisive news is that CCFC will officially become the feeder club for Northampton Town following last seasons trial with players such as Platt, O'Donovan and Cameron. :thinking about:

Believe it or not, he didn't support anyone until I got my Sky Blue claws into him! He jokes often about how I'm to blame for the suffering he's endured.

Well as BHSB said they want to develop land around Sixfields which they wanted to do for a while, maybe - and hopefully - that's their big news. Ours is we're still at the Ricoh! I can live in hope!

It's been ongoing for 8 years and is absolutely massive for us a club.

There will be another big announcement tomorrow or Friday, lawyers signed the deal off today for the ground share.

And the loan repayments are assisted with the revenue we'd bring for 20 + games a season deal

They'll probably take over the ground and charge Northampton over a million to play there a season!

If it is confirmed that the groundshare is Northampton I would question the wisdom of their council agreeing to the redevelopement knowing that NTFC have been talking to SISU:facepalm:
My warning to their council be afraid be very afraid

CJ, can you ring/text him again, and ask him, in the next few days, if he is going to run a story about Coventry City. Because a few of us think that he is.

You forgot a comma, between "us" and "a", I am guessing what you are trying to say is "absolutely massive for us, a club" well, sorry old bean you are not in my opinion "a club" we however used to be, indeed you may have heard of us, we were Coventry City FC.
