    F.A.O Monners

    I work in Northampton about a mile from Sixfields, recommend Duston for a drink - the Squirrels Inn should be able to park around there and about 15 mins walk to the ground.

    Draw on Thursday at 11.30

    Away with work in France the 21st & 22nd - the Tuesday and Wednesday night - we did play Preston on a Thursday night in this competition so hoping for that. Likely to miss the final as well.

    Dilemma

    Major family birthday on that day, its going to be tricky, especially as so many other family members may be going, at this stage if we get there I doubt I will be going - gutted but started the negotiations already.

    Anyone remember the Spion Kop / HR

    First game was at the cop 76/77 season v Spurs will always remember the greeness of the pitch and Wallace's bright orange hair. Went a few weeks later when Villa had almost all the cop after winning the league cup the week before. There were some urinals, uncovered corrugated iron for walls...

    If we go down will Mowbray go down as one of our worst ever managers?

    Back in 87 although Sillett was the manager a lot of credit goes to Bobby Gould who although left over 2 years earlier provided the nucleus of that team

    If we go down will Mowbray go down as one of our worst ever managers?

    We've had 16 new players through the door this season, thats a lot and whilist i expect many here to say thats what its like in Div 1 for all club, can't help but think overhauling a squad every season risks poor recruitment once in a while Jan 2016 and Summer 2016 were both poor. Vincelot to...

    Would you accept a spanking?

    This is strange but would we have to say "thank-you Tim may I have another" - if yes I'm up for it

    Return to the good old days

    What surprised me yesterday was the formation 3 centre halves playing as centre halves with a fourth playing as right back, can't be classified as wing back, the central midfield were all IMO definsively minded, the only creativity being expected to come from haynes Thomas & Beavon - we were at...

    What's the minimum acreage for a new stadium?

    The thought of a city centre location for the ground gets me excite no matter how unlikely

    What's the minimum acreage for a new stadium?

    Thats a good shout for a potential new ground - not sure what's happening to the old fire station plot but proximity to city centre and railway station is great could help regenerate the canal basin also

    Did Chris Millerchip have a meeting with Joy ?

    Is this common knowledge ? Was told that this happened by a reliable person. Wasn't aware that this had happened.

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    I'm sure there is evidence that will show that when we were previously in the championship our income was significantly lower when compared to our average crowd. We need a sugar daddy to get into the championship.

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    I'm not saying we have a right to these incomes and there has to be capital invested to generate these incomes in all lines of business, I'm glad I started this thread whilst its unlikely we will ever move to a new stadium I can't think of how it can ever work for us at the Ricoh whilst wee are...

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    After the Sisu/CCC finance coarse we are all now better informed. I can see the benefits of getting access to matchday incomes. For instance Wasps can give away tickets knowing that people buying F&B will contribute to their revenues. We only get 15% of these revenues from items sold on the...

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    Struggling to comment on the takeover threads like a lot I'll wait until confirmed / signed however debating with other fans why being tenants at the Ricoh under the current arrangements we have no long-term future. Under our current arrangement do we: get any % of the stadium sponsorship...

    The one reason why we have steadily got worse...

    I agree but when you are constantly overhauling the squad with a medium size budget for the division there is always a reasonable risk that you get it horribly wrong like TM did in summer 2016 and SP did in summer 2014
