Fantastic March that will change nothing.... and have not changed anything since they began unfortunately.
Shame really well done for trying to keep the issue in the public eye, but the people who need to really see this, sadly have not and do not care.
Time for more robust action to take place, except we are little old Coventry and too many have the " I cant be arsed I don't care anymore attitude" oh and the people replying... they would be back up the Ricoh, they are all talk.

The only misstep for me is parroting Sisu's line about matchday revenue on a short term deal. Why close off a route for easy return while the fiddly details are sorted out (or not)?
Seems to me to move us no further along than simply saying "Put Cov back, why not?". But overall I agree with the sentiment, bang some heads together etc.

I think people have got to get to grips with the fact that the owners SISU are not going anywhere anytime soon.
The small amount I do know about their current finances tells me that they have sufficient income to stay put at Sixfields until at least the end of the season. Those that repeatedly go on about NOPM forcing SISU out and a return to the Ricoh are going to be sadly mistaken. The sale of Wilson, the compensation for Christie, the windfall from Juke have provided this years budget and cash requirement for this year and SISU can sit back on that front whilst pushing buttons elsewhere.
So in light of that how does the SBT force SISU out of ownership? - it cant. SISU will leave when SISU is good and ready and not a moment before - any one thinking otherwise needs a reality check.
Ask just about any Sky blue fan what he or she wants and it is CCFC playing at the Ricoh. Given no one can force an ownership change what do the SBT do. Just say well we cant force a change, give up and just accept the team plays in Northampton? Or do you take a more pragmatic approach and try to attain a possible target - a return to the Ricoh.
The SBT are not saying they support SISU, sometimes you have to deal with people you despise (ask ACL if they are going to be buddies with SISU for instance). There are very few people I know that want SISU to stay but to get things done you have to deal with what is not what emotions say should be.
Sorry but tireless internet ranting by the usual characters is not going to get a solution - and like it or not there has to be contact and communication - no one has to like or believe what is said though.
Frankly instead of ranting on a forum get off your arses and do something ............. I wont hold my breath though waiting

I know SISU have got the money for this year, but NOPM is not a short term strategy, it never was.

SISU are going nowhere anytime soon. Only realistically going to leave if we become successful on the pitch and they can sell on at a decent price.

If SISU put a team on the pitch who challenge for promotion plus a return to the Ricoh in time for the Cardiff match.
All will be forgotten as quick Marlon's attacks on defenceless women.

Yep that's for sure (But no worse than anywhere else) What I did find funny was how the CT have laid claim to the recent activity. You would think the march was all their doing. The battle is almost over and we now have a campaigning newspaper. Joke or what?

We're no further on than we were when we moved to Sixfields.
May as well give up, they play us so easily, get us fighting amongst ourselves so easily, get us blaming anyone but them so easily.
Not sure what the point of the letter is. It just repeats Sisu's demands to be honest. Still to be shown how this gets us closer to home.
You're not going to like it, but in mind opinion having the fans trust leaning slightly more towards the clubs owners than the stadium management company is better for the club long term. Club owner and fans reps need to work together. If the trust adopt a more pragmatic stance I can only applaud it.
