About 1 mile from Sixfields, quite a gloomy miserable day with only sporadic drizzle - should expect the game to go ahead.

Sainsburys near six fields are doing a promotion on sausage rolls and pork pies with free samples but you can only try one bit I had both. Not raining at the moment but still gloomy.

Presumably you're praying for a plague of locusts tonight? Odd that we've gone from match predictions to weather reports.

Torch a plague of locusts is as likely as SISU building a new stadium but won't deny I would love the game to be postponed put pressure on the club NTFC & FL to review the situation of us travelling 35 miles to use such a poor facility when we have a great one on our doorstep. If you are a Sixfielder you may appreciate an accurate on the spot updated weather service. Still gloomy though with dark clouds on the horizon.

Can't see how postponements are going to put pressure on CCFC, NTFC or the FL. If something was going to work it would have by now. All the bad publicity for them and continued good publicity for us (march, "why", etc) hasn't worked. Only the suits can sort it out. All postponements will do will put more pressure on the team, increase the chance of injuries and increase the chances of a relegation battle. Wish ill on SISU by all means but not your club.

How are postponements in what has been the wettest start to the year in years and years going to force anybody's hand?
You really are thick if you believe otherwise.

I think a fixture backlog would make the FL respond - clubs with something to play for relegation / promotion won't be happy with inconvenient fixtures - limited breaks between games. If the pitch deteriorates and Cobblers fans blame this for their relegation. We are mid-table all the way and if we do get into a relegation scrap it won't be due to fixture congestion it will be the inability of the club to provide the players to a good manager - transfer embargoes and reduced funding etc..

I don't think Pressley can complain about the provision of players this season, whether they be permanent signings or loans. We've only lost one of our "stars" and that was because he wanted to go to his hometown club. Really don't think wishing a fixture backlog on the team with help anyone and it certainly won't hinder the FL or SISU. We'll just play loads of fixtures in March or April. And that won't hurt anyone but the team and Pressley.

Jordan Clarke playing as striker, the young lad 16 year old player as striker, the Slag playing as striker - SP has not had the depth of squad to effectively compete for the whole season.

I will answer your question the insult wasn't necessary though !!!
Forget the weather that is not the issue if only one team were playing at sixfields even with all the rain we have had the fixtures would easily be completed !!
To think otherwise you would be lacking brain cells....
I know its not a big chance but there is a chance that if a couple more games get called off this would cause chaos completing fixtures. And if that was to happen it would continue to keep our plight in the media hopefully at least cause some embarrassment to the football league !!

Will it lead to a change of heart from SISU? That's what you seemed to say would happen, John.

THe weather IS the issue. Without the rain games wouldn't have been called off at Sixfields (as like it or not that is where we play). Regardless of whether one or five teams play on the pitch the games would have been postponed.
Getting matches called off won't change the FLs stance in the slightest. We'd just loads of games in a short space of time increasing the chances of injuries to our key players at the business end of the season. Our plight IS in the media, both national and local. Every fan of every club knows the situation and despite all the good work from Michael et al nothing has changed. A few postponements won't lead us back to the Ricoh.

Well said SBJ we may be clutching at straws especially with a media that is semi orgasmic on transfer deadline day or will spend hours discussing Arsene v Jose, other managers / clubs being brought into the equation is good for our cause.

The locusts have already took over our club .
They have devoured our fans and are now working on the rest of the team.
We need an insecticide to rid us of these pests.

Why's that? Long term injury to our star striker and the sale of the other star striker. We didn't have replacements as SP seemed not to fancy who he could get. He waited until he got the players HE wanted. It was uncomfortable for a few games until he got those players but I'd rather that than get players we don't want or need.

The only thing likely to create a problem for the team SP is the fact that they will be forced to play football a lot of games on a sub standard pitch in a short space of time.
Our team is ill equipped to deal with playing the remaining games in a mud bath.
Ultimately whose fault would this be other than the people who made the decision to move us or allow us to play at sixfields ??

All of the top 6 will have a squad of at least 4 strikers we had only 2 sold 1 of them who wasn't replaced. SP may talk about getting only the players he wants but if your budget is restricted that means you can't buy or have to have prolonged negotiations to obtain a player then vital games were played where we had insufficient strikers on the pitch. Also does Coventry represent an attractive proposition to join permanently ?

Nope, he couldn't get the players he wanted, so he has had to loan two more youngsters.
