Wasps just got a mention they won’t allow any negativity towards them. They don’t need a deal etc. Interesting

Not many fans will join the crowd at St Andrews. It’s very wishful thinking that this is about the football. Keep Cov in Cov.

He didn't say anything that we didn't already know. As usual, he was a waste of time.

The crowd was rising just before the lockdown. When we start playing derby, West Ham, Villa etc - the average will be 10-12k
What was his initial estimate for home crowds at Northampton again?

Hmm. I forgot that the away teams take a lot. West Ham for example. Good call. There will not be many extra city fans until we are back in Cov.

Our fans will be 8-10k depending on team, like I said 10-12k is about right

10k average if we stay at St Andrews. 15k if we got back to the Ricoh

You’re plucking figures out of nowhere. All I can consider is the masses of fans who refuse to go, are no longer motivated, have gone off their back legs, support Liverpool now, only turn up for Wembley, really want to see their team in Cov so fuck West Ham and Derby games at St. Andrews, hate SISU, Wasps, The Council, Football. Covid 19, People. queues, driving to Birmingham on a wet Week day. Have no money, no job, no love for the club.
There goes. Happy days.[/QUOTE]

do you gave bigger issues then SISU? You didn’t think we’d get 10-12k. I’m not plucking figures if you follow the trend before lockdown the figures are about right.
do we need to come back to Coventry? Yes we do- but I don’t want them to come back to any deal - I’d rather stay in brum than return on a shit deal
No deal is better than a bad deal

I agree. They just need to get over the line with the most important part now. It still leaves a nasty taste in the mouth that they should leave the city twice...That is their biggest failure. Anyone remember the Crewe game? That was a few years ago now. The potential was there.

Ha. Where have I heard that before? You’re right of course but they may have lost millions through alienating fans. They clearly had a plan and it is creditable that the fans stick with it.

We got 7k at home to Sunderland at 12pm on a Sunday live on Sky.
We got nearly 8k on a tuesday night when it was snowing buckets against Rotherham.
We'd easily get 10k home fans at St Andrews next season and away fans would number a hell of a lot more.

On the flip side of that we didn't get many at the Checkatrade semi final against Wycombe, or the league two playoff semi final against Notts County.

I doubt if he wanted to, TS got him on. As a rule you don't refuse when asked as people will smell a rat, whether there is one or not. Just go on, play a straight bat, and get through to the other side unscathed without committing to something you cannot deliver. He's done that before, sounds like he did it again. I'm sure if there was some stonkingly good news, he would have been out there already with it.

Fisher as vague as ever didn’t really expect any difference he has to have some sort of hold on Sepalla, is he an investor perhaps ? He talks of our owners, so who apart from dear Joy are our owners ?
I thought White was better this time didn’t dwell on our on the pitch success but got straight into the ground issue which seemed to put Fisher on the back foot a bit, some inaccuracies but at least White kept Fison the stadium theme just don’t know where we go from here to be honest
Non season ticket support wasn’t much more than 3000 plus away support. Playing at Birmingham I reckon cost us atleast £100k every home game.

No, but we can’t just jump at any return. We should only pay a sliding rent. But in turn have an input on the pitch, sponsorship and F&B

we're probably still talking about average crowds 50 percent less than the Ricoh.
The other problem is if we do return we need a longer deal than a year otherwise we are going to have to play to a budget that allows for relegation and playing at St.Andrews the season after next .

Probably would’ve hit 7k average at St Andrews over a full season, maybe more if we had a sell out for the title winning game but let’s say 7. +30% for promotion Id say 9-10k average in the Championship.
vs at the Ricoh, 12.5k in 18/19, +10% last season = around 14k, +30% promotion that’s 17-18k
Roughly £10/game income per ticket, difference of say 8k per game that’s 80k x 23 = 1.84m in tickets, maybe same again in merch and the like. Add in £1m/year rent at SA.
So by my reckoning any deal which is less than say £4m a season rent at the Ricoh is commercially beneficial.
As a reminder we were paying £300k apparently in 2018/19.
Can we stop the idea that this is a commercial decision?

That’s the sort of thing Tf would need to answer for me if a deal can’t be done. Good analytics

I think the club are looking at what the arena itself is making from the club being there. The value of the lease increases, stadium sponsorship etc
SISU want paying for that I reckon
