    Sordell v Beavon

    I would say it was good business, but I wouldn't exactly call it bad business either. Although played out of position, Sordell wasn't exactly prolific. Using the same argument as this, GT is a striker being played out of position! He's still scored more than Sordell did in less games! I don't...

    Better the devil you know?

    I'd love to be proven wrong but I really don't think the gates would go up considerably at first! A couple of gesture yes, but then back to normal! Said in an earlier post, just look at the ricoh return v Gillingham!! 27,306. The very next game vs Yeovil we had 11,000. Preston 10,000. Crawley...

    Better the devil you know?

    I'd happily try anything because I don't think anything atm could put us in a worse situation the were already in! I'm just going into something like this with my eyes wide open. Like the OP is making a point of people going into a deal with their sisu blinkers on and not looking at the bigger...

    Better the devil you know?

    Look, I'm not saying that after a promotion or two and something to actually cheer about were not capable of 20k+ week in week out! (45k at Wembley has just proven we have the fams there)! I think after 2 promotions were capable of 20k under sisu, let alone new owners! Just some people on here...

    Better the devil you know?

    I haven't go a downer just pointing out facts!! Facts are the OP says giving 50% of transfer fees for 3 years is potentially damaging! Somebody else thinks we will be fine as increase in ticket sales will make up for the losses! Yet if sisu left tomorrow we'd end up with maybe 1000 more season...

    Better the devil you know?

    And barring on season in a shiny new stadium, we haven't!! And to be fair, even in the premier league we struggled to hit 20k (just seen stats that somebody has put up)! Looking at those stats our 'regular 20k fams' is miles off. Go back 40 years to 1977 and we've only averaged above 20k 5...

    Better the devil you know?

    What have the 1st few ricoh seasons got to do with anything??? We moved to the ricoh in 2005, we were taken over by sisu in 2007!!! What's your point? My argument was we averaged less than 20k when sisu 1st took charge. Whether we were going nowhere or not, we were still a championship club...

    And I'd of said the attendances were more 16-17kaverage. Don't think we've topped over 20k average since we fell from the prem. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    Better the devil you know?

    You'd like to think that was the case but I'm dubious we would gain that many more 'regular' fans! For a few games I think people would feel like they have to attend after making such a big hoo ha for so many years. Like the fuss people made getting us back from shitfields, sold out first game...

    Would both be very good signings but don't think we could afford their wages. Even IF they were willing to drop 2 leagues!! Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    The Great Outdoors

    I was driving to work a couple of months back, and on the way up towards Hampton in Arden this great huge shadow swooped out of the tree and over my car. This huge Buzzard flew right over the top of me and went to catch something on the road up ahead! It never caught was it was going for and...

    The Great Outdoors

    Yes squirrels are fair game! Although I think the law states they must be despatched humanely. Shot or a single blow to the back of the head. You can't bludgeon them to death or drown them etc. I think it's common sense with hunting tbf. Always ask the land owners permission or you could...

    Butts Park Arena

    Which, like I said about 'L2standard'! What exactly is 'L1 standard'? Just because as fans we expect 25k seats minimum, easy access, huge car parks, 5* dining F&B! What exactly does L1 and 2 standard mean? Oxford, only have 3 stands! Port Vale, falling to pieces and has a complete miss match of...

    Butts Park Arena

    I've said thus many a time! We've just turned into stadium snobs! Tbf, you say L2 standard?? What is that because what you propose (F&B from a van, couple of thousand extra seats), is no more than what Scunthorpe offer and they could still be back in the championship next season!!

    Butts Park Arena

    I think you'll find that once built, the planning is substantially longer. Builders buy land and planning permission all the time, run out of funds and throw down some foundations before time runs out to keep the planning permission open. I think you'll find that the stand already up is...
