You did once post that CCC/ACL were "100% to blame" for the club finding itself in Northampton.
So by that reckoning Sisu are blameless?

I'll take that as a yes.

Sorry? I doubt whatever happens Swansea fans will be affected or care. Its a red herring. It will not hamper the club only the council and the fans will I assure you not care less.
I support the club tony and yes would take the Ricoh free and would care less about the consequences for anyone else. That's because I love the club - tony I think you can't look in the mirror and say the same can you?
So you know what the outcome is going to be. Are you psychic Sally? Just that you keep announcing that she's on at the ricoh as well so it would make sense.
Here's the thing. There is actually more to life than football, if you had a life I guess you would know this. And the same basic principal that stops me going to sixfields also means that i understand it's not the job of local authorities that are funded by tax payers to ensure that hedge funds based in tax havens turn a profit.
They haven't even said whether the club would own the ricoh should sisu gain control of it, in fact they deliberately seem to muddy the waters on this. Yes we might be there on a peppercorn rent with access to match day income streams but they could also take that revenue straight back out in management fees. We may be no better of and the entire population of Coventry could get screwed in the meantime. And if your a Coventry tax payer and ccfc supporter you would be getting screwed twice

And you call me a troll. Hilarious.
Mark82 says ...."It would make little difference over the 90% boycott now."
A 100% boycott would make it impossible for Sisu to carry on in Northampton. Absolutely no doubt about it.
To be fair, it's probably true. Doesn't make it right though.
Really, how do you know this. Nothing Sisu have done in the last 12-18 months suggests to me that they would have invested in the squad. We played at the Ricoh last season and how much did they spend in the summer? Don't forget that Fisher's attendance predictions forecast way above what they actually are so if they wanted to invest in the squad, with the players that left would have meant we could have spent money on players. There is no basis whatsoever that higher attendances at Sixfields would have meant investment in the squad.
Fair point, I meant more that they were using the money to cover losses. If they had more incoming there would certainly be more chance of "spending". It would be tough for them to justify much in the way of spending under financial fair play at the moment.
I brought up the fact a boycott would likely lead to a reduction in spending ability in the summer, even from the low amount back then. The boycott is the right thing to do but we have to be willing to accept that our actions will have consequences. People seemed to accept that then but ate now moaning (talking generally rather than about individuals).
I think that's fair but it's not what Tim said to the football league about funding the losses.
And where are they, what are their thoughts?
Again happy to lie low for judicial review but really do fear we will be in league 2 next year
Not to keep me happy just to enable the team to compete, that's all
To be fair, it's probably true. Doesn't make it right though.
Wouldnt that contravene state aid laws and surely SISU couldnt accept thatOf course - what real fan wouldn't?
Offer Coventry Speedway use of the Ricoh, turn it into a speedway track, along with Stock Car racing
It would be interesting to see what SISU do then.

Most probably threaten to "batter the Coventry Bees in court".

I'd agree that was true, and as a sixfields boycotter I accept the consequences of low attendances. Personally I would rather see the club in the blue square south that a full sixfields.
Us boycotters should accept that our actions will inadvertently affect the standard of the team (for me that is a price worth paying), just in the same way that those that do go to sixfields are inadvertently supporting the principle of playing in Northampton.
Divisive garbage.
They would be where we are if they had our council
Yes you are.
So you are saying that Swansea would be in Northampton?
Why don't you answer certain questions for once.
Do you trust SISU?
You say that the Ricoh should be handed over to CCFC. Sod the council, taxpayer and charity. Yet Timothy has admitted that our club wouldn't own the Ricoh. It would be owned by a hedge fund. So how could it be handed over to our club?
Who should pay off all the contracts that SISU want getting rid of before getting the freehold for next to nothing?
How can they get around the laws that stop this sort of thing happening?
But as usual you will just ignore this thread, ignore the questions, change the subject or come out with silly answers that can't happen.
So in your view suggesting fans going to Sixfields supporting the move to Northampton isn't dividing supporters? Care to explain that?
