Waiting for WASPS to fail,I hear this too much, I hate WASPS owning "our" ground, I won't go to WASPS games despite many friends going (meet them for a drink after the game) but we can't rely on this especially as early indications are that they are doing OK especially the forecast 30,000 crowd...

Yes but surely it made sense for CCFC to return if WASPS were to get the Ricoh then the Sixfields distressing tactic had failed and it was pointless continuing to lose millions in Northampton. Quite convinced that SISU knew about WASPS when they agreed to come back

Agree that they had underestimated the contribution made by CCFC, CCC are politicians and they reacted like politicians by ridding themselves of the Ricoh by giving it away to WASPS for next to nothing and saved themselves from the embarrassment of an empty stadium and there is no public backing...

You're getting upset because the truth hurts you backed the horse that was SISU and they have screwed up big time, they backed CCC into a corner and the responded with the WASPS deal, whilst they were trying to distress everyone which I rightly objected to, the charity lost out SISU lost out but...

SISU bought the club with the rent deal in place - their decision do you think WASPS / any properly run business would have bought under those rental terms No strategy to move the club forward Got outsmarted by both the council and WASPS SISU are now an irrelevance with no plans or strategy just...

But WASPS proved that it wasn't a white elephant - £1.3m rent was being negotiated down, to £0.4m if memory serves me right but pre WASPS we had hope, unfortunately there is little or no hope especially with SISU in charge

Be truthful now with the benefit of hindsight do you think sixfields was avoidable and without sixfields would WASPS have got ACL

Fan base is diminished in both number and appetite, fan-base id divided post Northampton, SISU keep talking about building a stadium so certain fans aren't bothered about losing the Ricoh but SISU will always be seen as the villains following Sixfields.

This thread is worth reading again but Grendel never fails to offend do you think he has apologized to Simon since for doubting the story

Yeovil was unbelievable and those missing fans have since not returned as well as other fans including some ST holders. Failure to land TM could see home gates down to 5k, not sure even a promotion charge will see gates rise significantly, the apathy, mistrust among the former fans is quite...

However our last 10 games the average is only 8,200 including the appointment of a new manager during that period. SISU may yet regret the appointment of TM because if they fail to land him in the summer, regardless of the reasons this wouldn't go down well with our dwindling fan base.

Hard not to focus on Sixfields, a strategic disaster, pre-WASPS there was always the chance of the club getting the Ricoh, now its gone for good along with thousands of fans, the true financial cost of Sixfields pales into insignificance compared to the rent we were being charged. I know its...

Nobody knew back in August 2013 that the Sixfields move would lead to WASPS getting the stadium on the cheap, without Sixfields WASPs wouldn't have happened. Sixfields in summary was unnecessary, aimed at distressing, no thought or consideration for the fans, turned out to be a short terms...

Don't think I will be getting a ST, had 1 since the move to the Ricoh, didn't go to Sixfields but the WASPS factor, the small crowds leading to dreadful atmospheres, becoming less of a social occasion as less family and friends attend, sons don't want to go, home games this season have been...

Nowhere near ready anonymous in every game I saw him play. Webster's departue is justified also a terrible player only slightly worse than aaron martin. at least the CET stopped referring to Webster as the former scottish international

Pennington for me how sad that a loanee who joined half-way through the season is our best player, as for Fleck improved as the season went on but flatters to deceive and I agree its not all about goals but for a midfielder to have scored none having played nearly 50 games this season is very poor.

Don't think WASPS PR is anything special just looks so good when compared to CCFC who now lack presence in their own city run by people who having lost the Ricoh have no strategy. Yes owning your own stadium will be best in the long run but this merely an aspiration that SISU can't and won't...

is your dad called frank

Whether he is better than Haynes who is still a teenager is a separate debate the manner by which he was skinned was alarming, in a game where Colchester offered very little especially in the first half there was limited defending required but he failed and we were lucky not to concede. I don't...
