The boredom of it all (1 Viewer)

How's going to the games 'following him to the club's death'?

This will be interesting.

New Stadium plan which includes Northampton will finish the club for 2 reasons.
- If we stay at Northampton much longer and he does not really plan to build a stadium then at some point ACL will have to move on and we will be finished as we have no stadium.
- If he has a plan to build a stadium then in 5 years time CCFC will have more debt loaded on them than at any point in their history, coupled with smaller attendances, they will never recover.

- Part one of the plan is get moral support by getting enough people at Northampton to cheer him on.

There's been around a 90% decrease in home attendances, and despite that plans to build a new stadium still continue. I don't think much would really change their mind...

Personally, I still think we'll be back in the RICOH, by the end of the season/for next season.

If they said they were coming back next season I reckon I would go to Northampton this season. Needs to be set in stone.

New definition of the word continue. Can't see anything relevant in the OED

Lets talk data- we can speculate on how many free tickets..none of use know... heres the facts based on the first 3 games- can anybody construct a reasonable argument on why this is a smart move when a stadium lies empty....madness.

Ricoh	Sixfield	% of Ricoh attendance
12621	2204	17%
10285	2068	20%
9458	1789	19%
Total
32364	6061	19%

Season thus far then.. 81% less people through the turnstile on last year... sensible business plan my arse-

This is interesting KingPower but not accurate reflection though.
Lets say what you have put there is 4/5'sth of income lost?
OK take now factor in the cut backs in players wages and other staff and overhead. lets say equal to another 1/5th saved?
Ok now lets remember the 1.2m rent we no longer pay and match day cost. approaching 2/5th's savings?

Not being precise by any means but you get the picture. Not the craziness some think it is for a few years.
Just sayin'

I used data-it IS 100% accurate against the attendance figures (source CCFC website) I used only data because I have been encouraged to do so many times by you and the G and others- yours is, respectfully, speculation... if you want speculation.

Ticket price £	Ricoh Average	Sixfield Average
20	10,000	2,500
Match Ticket Income(per game)	£200,000.00	£50,000.00
(A) Annual Ticket Income(23 Games)	£4,600,000.00	£1,150,000.00
Income from Catering *Assumes £10/Person/Game	£0.00	£25,000.00
(B)Annual Catering income(23 Games)	£0.00	£575,000.00
(C)Rent	£400,000.00	£100,000.00
Annual Income/revenue A+B-C	£4,200,000.00	£1,625,000.00
Lost Revenue opportunity	-£2,575,000.00

Edit* The irony of your counter argument containing mitigation to cost base around the rent isnt lost on me- we havent paid rent for 1 year= root cause.

Merchandise sales lost???
Rent at Northampton add-on?
Travel costs to Northampton add-on?

I'm in the same boat. I check it a few times a day perhaps incase there is any actual news.

If it's just opinions, moans and rumour I really couldn't give a toss.

Sorry Si... comes back to 2 points as in my first response to PAX.
What were you expecting.... given the circumstance.. its a perilous path we tread? Respectfully if you couldnt give a toss why bother loggin on...it's kind of like touching the stove and moaning 'cause its hot?
