It might not be anything they would probably have to put them on standby just in case

Sure it isn't just standby to go to Northampton to do/bolster the Policing there?

I have tended to ignore the weekend rumours as they rarely get backed up however it could be possible that if the CVA is not agreed and the club remains in administration that Appleton will have to pick up the Ricohs offer of playing for free as it is if better interest to the creditors than paying to play at Northampton.

When has Appleton done anything in the best interests of anyone other than SISU ?

Which is what MattyLad is saying. Paying Northampton to play there, play for nothing at the Ricoh...hmm which is the best for the creditors???
The only difficulty there is that he has to do his best for the new business moving fwd & the Ricoh may still prove not to be the best thing in the longer term for the new business - all depends on the terms really.

I have been told over the weekend by two different sources that sisu or NTFC are struggling to get the nod from Northamptonshire police, one said the cost is astronomical. Think that was a big part in any matches going into the West Midlands area. Somebody somewhere must know if the local old bill have okayed this farce or not. Over to the local media to find out give them something to do on a boring Monday morning

surely they would have to give the police two or three weeks notice just in case ? Couldnt leave it to the last minute ie a couple days before. Does it mean there is a CCFC match there ? no it just means the police are prepared if there was, be no point ACL & SISU talking about it if the police were not able to cover it.
sorry not to be so positive

osb - cup replays are sometimes managed at 4 days notice if required
certainly 10 days - and we could be talking 70k people
2-3 weeks certainly not

Agreed.
Shows good planning to cover the possibility, doesn't mean it's an actuality.

I would imagine Northants police would ask West Mids for mutual aid, and WMP would send them a bill to provide additional officers. Don't know what percentage of the bill would then be charged to SISU, but maybe the police are worried the hounds won't pay up.

Didn't Leeds recently win a court ruling the the club wasn't liable for costs away from the ground? This could be an issue as a lot of people will arrive by train which you would assume would mean extra policing away from the ground. If SISU are refusing to pay maybe Northants police are saying they won't cover it.

I would imagine only a couple of coppers would be needed to look after 20 cov fans.the others 280 tickets sold are for players families, club employees, visiting teams officials, and others clubs scouts etc.

Difference here is that no one was expecting them to play at the Ricoh because they had moved to Sixfields apparently and anothers police force would be responsible.
Do you not think considering that the police have the final say it is not wise to give them an early heads up of the possibility?
Unless the Police are happy to have the game on there is not much point discussing the possibility is there. Also what if there was an alternative event going on ?
I would guess that the police are provided with the seasons fixture list so that would be what 9 months notice on some games?
All that is going on is good planning - far too early to read in to it that CCFC will be playing at the Ricoh on the 10th
It could be they are in which case I will be very happy but right now nothing really says they will be..............

Do the police have the final say? The police commissioner of Northampton was on Cwr the other week and was not at all happy but said its out of police forces hands to veto any event. They just have to get on with it.

I would guess if nobody will agree to cover the cost then they don't police it in which case the game will be called off due to safety concerns. Came close to happening at Pompey last season, police hadn't been paid and said if they didn't get what they were owed they wouldn't provide policing and games would have to be called off.

The police costs will be paid why would there be any concern. Whatever you lay at sisu's door they pay bills. ACL are not paid as its a rent dispute.

They have not paid the Higgs centre either, plus I can remember a few other people that Ltd owed in administration.
Why are you so blinkered?
I would say that police costs away from the ground are covered in the general police costs.
Otherwise why should the club pay for police at the railway station.
Surely the railway station should pay as they are their customers. Could get so complicated.
chiefdave

The proposed CVA shows an unpaid tax bill and they also haven't paid for their use of the Higgs Centre. Even ignoring that if they have only agreed to pay costs at the ground and the local police say there are further costs unless SISU agree to pay for it why would they pay any bill for it?

Looking at this again. You are very naïve.
