I have very little faith in the FL. They are corrupt and incompetent self-servers. But ultimately they are accountable to the 72 member clubs who elect them, all of whom are into self-interest too. (By 2016 Northampton may well not be one of the 72.) If there is no purchased site with...

While I agree with most of what you say, there can be no possibility of staying at Northampton for ever. The Football League (not known for honesty or competence, I know) have only given us three years there. A fourth and fifth year can only be granted if there has been serious progress in...

I never had any intention of going to Northampton to watch the team I had watched in Coventry for 50 years. Aside from it being something I see as slow destruction of the club, it would mean a 120 mile round trip to every home game. Not for me these days, I'm afraid. If we are back at the...

If it was any other club that had been subjected to the crap we have, those that did turn up for the home games would be doing this sort of protest every single game, and other things besides. Has there been any sort of protest inside Sixfields at any game this season, or do they simply sit...

Quite right. They have already effectively banned over 10000 City fans from attending home games.

Dietmar Bruck still working? He's 70 this year. Must need the money!

Sponsoring players, now there's an opportunity. I will sponsor Frank Moussa to swim ten lengths of the Sixfields pitch on Saturday. 50p a length OK?

The problem is that, as long as players get paid, they couldn't give a monkeys how the club is run. Same the world over, it's just a job to them. Fail to pay them for doing that job and the result is what the Racing players did tonight. Move the club miles away, alienate 90% of the fans...

I fear you are right. The owners have taken us away from the city, resulting in abysmal attendances and alienating the majority of the fans. Whatever anyone may think, that is a complete disaster for the long term prospects of the club's survival. Their tactics have been beyond insane...

Shame he won't be able to go to the final then. He has a previous engagement.

I'm not a lover of the franchise principle, which is in effect what City are at the moment with no guarantee of ever returning to Coventry. Having said that, I have to say it would be amusing to see someone (ACL?) buy up the newly-relegated Northampton Town in the summer and relocate them lock...

Money, of course. I have said for weeks that I thought Clarke would be off in January, as someone would want to take a punt on him, given his recent form. An offer to double or treble his wages and he will go, loyalty is simply not an issue to footballers or managers. Loyalty is just for...

He was one of two that Micky Adams signed on non-contract terms, getting appearance money only because we were short of bodies in the early Ricoh days. The other was Andy Impey. He used to bring them on in injury time so they got paid!

I just heard them say on TV that Kidderminster had lost 4 out of the last 5. They'd better get used to it, with that clown in charge they will probably lose 4 out of the next 5 too!

Yes, there are plenty of people like you and me that have 40+ years as ST holders that would get no priority on tickets for this game. But in my case I wouldn't go anyway. Had it been last season I probably would have gone, as I was attending all the home games. But I've not been to a game...

Millwall would not have been much of a career progression for Pressley. But make no mistake, when an offer comes in at a bigger club with more potential, and a fatter salary, he will of course move on. That's the way of football, there is no such thing as club loyalty for managers or players...

I remember seeing Eusebio on the night he played at Highfield Road. That was the main reason for going, I've always tried to see as many as possible of the game's true greats of my lifetime. The goal he scored that night in the 1-1 draw with N Ireland was his last ever goal for Portugal.

Somehow I don't see us being drawn at Elland Road this season!:laugh:

So the deal is that the Carlisle game on the Thursday will be postponed, as that was our weekend game. If we are drawn at home, Northampton play there v Southend on the Saturday so the cup game will have to be the Sunday. And in that case the Leyton Orient away game will almost certainly move...

I don't know, it's just a bit of wishful thinking. I'm sure the club would do everything to avoid having to play even a one-off at the Ricoh because it would be a sell-out without a doubt, and that would make them look more stupid than they already do. The reality is that if we did draw...
