Who are you to say what is right or wrong? Not renewing next season is certainly right for me. As I have said, the year away broke the habit and another season of watching this rubbish is not an option. The bond was broken where I would watch them however bad. After half a century I never...

No, wife and I have already decided we are not renewing next season. Before moving to Northampton I had 46 successive season tickets and never missed one of those games. Wife 22 years likewise. It really hurt not going to the games but the habit has now been broken. There have hardly been...

We were in Barcelona about 5 years ago and there was a shop selling those Russian dolls with about 5 or 6 inside each other. There were all the top Spanish teams, of course, plus Premier and European teams. And there on a shelf in among all the proper teams was a Coventry City version. Each...

Maybe we are going to take a couple of their players on loan. How about someone who can tackle for starters.

That's how I feel, and it seems many others do too if Monday night was anything to go by. How I wish I could have pressed Fast Forward sat at the Ricoh. Maybe I should buy a De Lorean....

Swindon beat us because they were better than us in every part of the game. They may have loanees but they are a bloody sight better than ours. They looked fitter, quicker and better coached and organised too, so that is down to their manager and coaches, I would certainly agree with that...

I didn't mean you. Sorry if you took it that way.

I've had a look and the last gate lower than that was on 23rd April 1962 for a 1-1 draw with Bristol City when it was 5965. I think it was Easter Monday as we played them away the following day. I reckon we could go under 6000 again before this season is out.

Imbecile was once an acceptable term as it was used to describe people on census forms in the early 20th century. Mong, or mongol, was in common use when I was at school to describe someone with Downs Syndrome. Neither are acceptable now, but imbecile is every bit as bad as mong, worse if you...

Forget formations. The situation is that the players we have are journeymen, kids and loans. They are not good enough and the manager is flailing around in desperation. No matter what formation he chooses, it changes nothing. Tinkering with 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-3-2-1 or whatever is simply...

Ultimately people go to games to see two things. A winning team and entertaining football - in that order. A few may be staying away because of principles regarding the owners, but I believe most are staying away because it's rubbish. Currently the team is struggling, but there is nothing...

This is exactly the point. We did see a huge protest last night. Not with people waving bits of paper though. The protest was the fact that the ground was almost empty. The 7000 includes all ST holders but there were plenty in Block 19 who didn't bother last night. A combination of no...

I would get rid of him solely on the basis of his after match comments. If he saw lots of positives in that and believes that we had the players out there tonight that could beat Swindon - he needs to be sectioned! It was utterly shocking tonight. Missus had the Sky coverage on her phone...

Chris Catlin did indeed own and run two rock shops on Brighton sea front. He was running them when he was asked to take over as Brighton manager and kept them while he did so. They made him an absolute fortune. He still owns the property and rents them out now. He is also the owner of a...

Correct! Most people realised even at the start of that season that we were absolute certs for relegation with a woeful squad, a useless manager and no investment. It was painful watching us plough onwards through the season to the inevitable conclusion and drop with barely a whimper.

I agree with that. Horrible club, Oldham. I remember a couple of their moronic fans posting on GMK, gloating about Hughes and his crimes. Hughes has been employed by several clubs since Oldham too, including Notts County, Blackpool, Port Vale and now Forest Green. They were all willing to...

Footballers are a mollycoddled lot and I believe it makes them intrinsically lazy. The top ones have everything except backside-wiping done for them by their agents, so become completely isolated from the real world. Even at League 1 level these guys are earning so much, compared to ordinary...

Yes. Surely they always intended to return to the Ricoh but only when they had bought the stadium for next to nothing. That was always their Plan A. They have never actually intended to build their own stadium and simply used Northampton as a holding position while they waited for ACL to go...

I believe the major factor was simply that about 90% of fans simply refused to go to Sixfields. Had Fisher been right and 3000-7000 turned up then they would not have been bothered. Even at £9 a game most people weren't tempted. Fisher, as usual, was completely wrong. It was a victory for...

Most people area actually not bothered about NOPM. What will kill the club is the current ownership that has driven the club on this downward spiral towards oblivion. That has resulted in over half the fanbase simply losing interest and not going any more. And who can blame them, given the...
