The only problem was that he was aiming to land at the Ricoh.

Yep, can't argue with that. IT must be a real bummer to be Welsh though, knowing you are never going to qualify for anything. Giggs never bothered much either.

I am really not too bothered about England these days. Probably because the level at which City play has been so far removed. It was far more relevant when we had players who were in the squad. The overpaid, strutting prima donnas who constantly underperform at international level have made...

This time last year there was still some anticipation when the fixtures came out as there was still a possibility we could be playing at the Ricoh. I was anticipating the possibility of a last minute resolution which could have meant renewing the season ticket. A year on there is no...

So if a half-decent club like the cut of his jib and offer him a deal with twice the salary and money to spend on players, he will turn it down to continue managing a basket-case club? Er, right....

Exactly this. I don't see how they will back him though. I have thought for a long time that, once a decent club with a bit of ambition and a few quid to back it up comes looking for a manager, he will be off like a shot and without a backward glance. He may not be a Guardiola, but he's got a...

No doubt the 'new' goalkeeper will be someone out of contract in L2 who is likely to be about 33, on a last contract, and happy to sit on the bench most of the time. He will probably be worse than Dunn. I have never doubted that they intended to have Burge as the first choice, whether he is...

My guess would be that his contract is until 30th June, so City are paying him at present. This does seem to happen, especially in lower leagues. The movements will no doubt start in July.

It might be simplistic, but that's the way I look at it too. They have a vested interest in the company, as they own half, so they make sure it survives. It's like when I helped my daughter out when she wanted her own house. You help where you can, either with loans or providing s deposit. I...

I remember going to Wimbledon Speedway several times in the 70s for Bees matches and their big individual meeting each year, the Internationale. It was a well-appointed stadium but the place, and the track itself, were very small. Made for good racing though. Although both were in Plough...

It has lost plenty like me, I don't know of anyone among my old mates who still goes, except for Jim Brown who is in a bit of a tough situation, to be fair as he is club statistician. I am still at the stage where I would get a season ticket for next season at the Ricoh - just about. In 2 or...

After 47 years as a season ticket holder, and never missing a home game in all that time, do you think I took the decision lightly not to go to Northampton? You clearly have no idea what being a supporter is all about. I just hope that when you have been a supporter for that many years...

This just shows how out of touch with reality Fisher is. He is an utterly clueless idiot. He has no grasp whatsoever of what a football club means to its fans and his actions will ultimately destroy the club. Attendances will probably fall even further next season as interest wanes among the...

I seem to recall the last player we had from Guernsey was Ron Farmer. If he does half as well as him it will be money well spent.

Difficult one. I had a season ticket for 47 years before the move, and my wife had one for the last 23 years. So not buying one last summer was a wrench. We always said we would go back if the team returned to the Ricoh. But a year has gone, and so has much of the enthusiasm. As the season...

How things can change! It all looks like a sick joke now. The last page is laughable in our current situation. "Vision, Ambition, Determination, Good Fortune...and Your Support." Under this mob every single one of those has gone.

The problem here is that the people who post on the forums are those who still actually care, whichever side of the argument you favour. The majority of the fanbase don't care any longer, I fear, and it is going to be a virtually impossible task even to get 10000 back should we ever return to...

I doubt Pressley will be offering contracts at all. He may tell Waggott & Co who he would like, but will have little say in what pay and contract length is offered to anyone. So he may end up with nothing like the squad he would like, and this is the reason I think he is likely to be off...

I don't think the extra financial hit would make much difference as their financial 'strategy' makes no sense whatsoever anyway. But if games were only attended by away fans, so that gates were as low as 100 or so, it would show the pointlessness of their idiotic relocation. Why would a...

It has never been the fans' fault until now. We have seen years of financial and managerial incompetence, dating back at least to the cup win. But only now are we faced with the club ceasing to exist, and my opinion is that, had there been a complete boycott of Northampton, it would have...
