I believe it is still going ahead, I'm keeping my fingers crossed it is bounced & a line can be drawn under the issue, otherwise there will be more shit to bear.

Oh
Tbh, the most important thing for me is CCFC playing in Cov. all other stuff, can be sorted in the background now.

So why are we back home under a rental agreement when they said it would never happen?

Especially when they supposedly proved to the FL that they had enough money to fund 3 years in Northampton, and that was before Arsenal money, and Wilson money.

The attendance at all match's at the Ricoh will depend entirely on how the team are performing. If they are playing well
and looking like getting into the play off's or better then the crowds will be large. If they are struggling then the crowds
will be poor.

Clearly he believes he has the ultimate intellect,always right, earns more than anyone else and is the best fan.
Clearly we should honour him!!!

Just my opinion, and it's not worth much:
I believe the lost legal cases had the most with the club's owners finally wising up and seeking a return to Ricoh.
I do believe, however, that the protests were effective in that they kept a sizable portion of the City fanbase engaged with each other and to simply show that there was a passion. Additionally, the outreach from other clubs' fans during the ordeal should be prominant in everyone's thoughts moving forward. When all is said and done, the solidarity shown between supporters groups of Coventry City, Cardiff City, Hull CITY, among many others was not only encouraging but inspiring that the focus of football is the community.
Did all the protests force SISU FC back to the Ricoh? Maybe, maybe not... But, it did prove that there is a fire in the belly of the Sky Blue Army.

I wonder if this had something to do with it too?
I think there have been a lot of factors, but in general it is clear the strategy adopted by SISU was grossly flawed & only going to get anywhere unless that elusive 'smoking gun' was found and paraded in front of a judge, but it never seemed to exist at all!

I wonder what the general response would be if SISU decided that having given the 'majority' of fans what they wanted and having taken the team back to the Ricoh with promises of bumper crowds, they then said 'OK, now we're back, we'll have to put the ticket prices somewhere around the average price for this division'.
I was reading (on the Swindon fans site I think) that they are being asked to pay £25 for home games. If that was the case what would our average Ricoh home crowd attendance be likely to be?

The fans from other clubs played their part. Some of them were unhelpful in attending games at Sixfields. But their efforts in standing by those on the hill and also protesting in the grounds are a credit to their club's fan base. Well done.

They haven't though have they? We could also choose to stay away if they did. It is a case of having to keep us on board because if they don't we all know we have the power to stand our ground and not attend. We have them where it hurts.

They did have an affect IMO.
if we had all just gone quietly and given in, it would have showed that we didn't really care.
We know from conversations with certain people (who cannot be mentioned on here) that Sisu and Joy in particular hated it, she thought we would all just give in after a couple of months.
For that reason alone the second march showed her that we were all still passionate about our club, and weren't all willing to just give in and take the shit they were dishing out......
FAIR PLAY TO A MAJORITY OF SKY BLUE FANS WE STUCK TOGETHER.
Grendel you supported the loosing side well done yet again.:claping hands:

I don't care what other people think. I believe I made a difference.
I stand proud that I managed not to be part of the Sisu plan to remove the club from the Ricoh in a selfish attempt to get the stadium on the cheap.
I appreciate that some needed to go and I will try my hardest not to bear a grudge
a very fair comment, let's look forward.

The protest may not have had any effect on the outcome.
The only thing that really got the club back to Cov was NOPM. SISU are a hedge fund and 1000 fans at that shit hole was hitting them in the arse pocket big style. So all of you that stopped away, protested or stood on the hill take a bow, and all those that went to SF please feel free to transfer your tickets to the real NTFC as you seem to like watching football there so much.

Stating SISU are a hedge fund without any real understanding that a hedge fund doesn't work in a 'rational' way kind of annoys...

Good point, ACL did say it would never happen if Sisu went ahead with it's JR appeal.

Indeed and it was said negotiations were on going for several weeks - which suggests they were happening when the initial court case was actually happening .

The fact that so few people went to Northampton was obviously the major factor in the club's U-turn and return to the Ricoh on a rental basis. Only a fool would deny that.
I believe the protest demonstrated that the real fans were never going to betray the club and go to Sixfields. But, more importantly, it showed that they were still committed to the club in the event of a return to where it belongs. My opinion is that Fisher's view became totally discredited within the club and Waggott was the one who realised the obvious.
