Said the 3000 SISU said would travel is wildly overestimated

Also that Northampton's chairman said unless the league say no it is inevitable.

I think 3000 is a fair number.

I have to agree with Midlands Today that is is massively exaggerated and will be about 300.

Will always be a few who will go regardless but all these few are doing is assisting in a lingering death.
No one should go. Full Stop.

That's not what the chairman said that is what the presenter Nick Clithero said. The chairman said there was a long way to go. The crowd estimate came from interviewing 3 random coventrians in the city centre.

The chairman doesn't want to incur any dissatisfaction from his own club's fans. Getting an extra few hundred k a year will change his mind.

Especially when they have a redevelopment to fund!

Just to clarify that's being funded thanks to £12million from the council.

The few hundred thousand from your tenure would help though.

Still think it's just a bargaining tool for you to stay at the Ricoh, I wouldn't panic just yet.

£12million from the council indeed, but still needs to be paid back...

If you want an angle, you might like to ask your board about the consequences to your own council loan, if our club wins its action against our council.

I'd assume each case is separate, but it's food for thought that our actions could take away indirectly far more than we give, directly.

Very few of us actually thought it would reach this stage-unless ACL suddenly fold or SISU have some LSD induced epiphany then the concern is real.

It always has to reach a stage where the threat is real, for it to have any bargaining power.

Personally I expect half a dozen games elsewhere to make a statement, then a deal being struck.

High risk though, high risk, and the stakes aren't just the club buggering off for a few years, those stakes would be almost tolerable. This path is potentially far darker than that...

The biggest threat is ACL will do what they have to do and it won't be CCFC returning under the guise of SISU.

Thankfully each case is different. Ours is quite complex but basically the sale of land will be repaying back the £12million loan and also earning us a bit more money into the bargain.

Oh how I remember the days when grounds were being planned, funded by the sale of land and making the club a nice little earner on top!

we started our 'redevelopment' 8 years ago, take us that long to get the deal signed.

The threat is real however.

And we might all lose, permanently.

That's not making a judgement on who's right or wrong, that's where we are.

Don't underestimate the threat, this is as far as I can see the exit strategy, and how the exit plays out could happen in all kinds of ways...

I'm entirely aware of that threat and Will view the use of It to remind me why they could never be considered Fit and Proper ,the moment came and went ,four bidders in the Mix ,that was the top of the Cycle.

& of course, there is the historically proven fact that sisu / otium, whoever,
may not actually pay anything,
then NTFC left with the proverbial on their face

It's already cost us our academy for a start, and even if a deal was struck at the last minute, it's cost us a pre-season under embargo and undoubtedly will have had a massive hit on ST sales. The damage is already being done and it can't be easily undone.

If you mean of SISU, I hope you are right!
