Because people seem to look back on a golden era of the Ricoh. We had a "healthy crowd" (20k) less than 10 times in 10 years there despite being in Championship. Show me the evidence that will improve and I will stop "banging on" about it.
So if we offered frank moussa £200,000 a week he'd say no?
Would you mind if we debate this one on planet earth.....
If two clubs offer a player similar wages one is us playing in Northampton with an uncertain future the other is Wolves(pre promotion) playing in their own nice stadium with a far more certain future.
Yet we offer the player slightly more a week.
I know where I think the player will be going
The atmosphere and the crowds would (or hopefully will) improve if the team ever improved. Look how people turned up for the JPT, I would think if we had started bit better in that game the atmosphere would have been great.
The Ricoh is too big. The atmosphere was poor most of the time. The reason Sixfields is very genteel in its atmosphere I assume is because most of the one block that ever did sing do not go.
There was one midweek game last season where I had the whole row to myself.
It was pretty dire once crowds dropped below 15,000.

Which was less than half capacity. You go to Old Trafford and the Emirates when it is less than half full and see how soulless those grounds are.

Unless the club is in the premiership and therefore attracts big away followings, the average will always be half capacity. After the initial stadium impact gates were heading pretty quickly back to Highfield road levels and that's with it being one of the cheapest stadiums to buy a season ticket in.
Not really a valid comparison as they are virtually never half empty.
Wolves, Leicester , Norwich and Southampton maintained a large percent of their fan base in L1 whilst ours melted away the minute we were relegated.

Again your talking rubbish.
The 2005-06 season alone saw 15 games with a 20k+ attendance.
Please dont make things up.

They don't offer the same though. Players leave to attract signing on fees as well as a salary. Moussa and Christie will get much better deals. Baker won't so will stay.
You are aware people have been having meetings with Me Labovitch?
The Byng phone call may have been arranged by Mr Labovitch for all we know.
Sorry Grendel but both the players and the manager have said it.
Without them saying it, it really would not take a rocket scientist to work it out. When signing a player taking them round the Ricoh makes a statement.
A statement we have never backed up but nevertheless it makes that statement and with comparable wages we are likely to win signatures
"See that bit in the corner Juke/Platty/David. That's the bit where our fans sit. The rest is pretty much as you see it today."

A sniff of success playing Wolves, Leeds, Crewe
The Ricoh was suitable.
Unfortunately if you sell your customers shite they finish that's a fact of life
"Suitable" don't get too carried away

Crewe was £5 a ticket and the others were not sold out and would have been 8,000 short of capacity at least without a huge away presence.

yes the opener against top European opposition that Richardson promised us,showing of our two new top signings that were bought in with the 22 million put asideCan you name a particular game at the Ricoh that should have sold out?
