I can’t believe there are still people that won’t have a word against the council.
I can’t believe there are still people that won’t have a word against the council.I can't say exactly who because believe it or not there are still NDA's in place over that shite
But there's a fan who's very present on Twitter who worked for the council at the time and gave Gilbert the tip off. They were going to try and push it by on the sly and he was like 'na fuck this' and told Gilbert
Within 20 minutes it was all over the news and the council had to abandon ship. It's a shame I can't name him for years because he deserves a pint off everyone for that
The council can fuck off, cretinsI can’t believe there are still people that won’t have a word against the council.
It is a shame. That was scandalous that. Actively tried to give them tax payer money to save their faces.I can't say exactly who because believe it or not there are still NDA's in place over that shite

This... its not even right to "like" the post. If I recall correctly there were quite a few fans who had high hopes, as he had got clubs promotes previously... how wrong.Any point of 2016-17 where we had Nathan Clarke wearing number 7 in the worst kit in our history while Russell Slade is sat in the dugout
The one good thing Fisher did for the club was persuading Robins to return.
Well, yes, he was responsible for bringing Robins back to the club.The Man who came out with the most idiotic Statement ever, THAT SHIP HAS SAILED.
Yes I was on the hill as for being a member of the trust so were a lot of people.
yes I remember people going in saying they hoped we stayed at six fields suppose you were one of those wankers. Just asking. Now you can reply with one of your inane comments.
Ironically his career didn’t really go past the 4th tier. I’m sure he’s been promoted from there and released straight after with NorthamptonJordan Turnbull jumping ship because he didn't want to play in the 4th tier was my low point. When a player who may as well have played with a blindfold on decides your club is beneath them, then you know things are rough.
Unlike you I didn’t shout abuse back at the folks on Sixfields Hill and I actually understood but didn’t agree with your choices.
Bristol Rovers away Boxing Day 2016 4-1 loss was the worst imoForest Green doing the double over us or Yeovil beating us 6-2 at home has to be the darkest days…
I hate Forest Green off the back of that lone season in league two…. I’ve got no intention of seeing us back in that hell hole of a league ever again

We had to really dig in just to make the playoffs. I never want to be in the bottom league againThat's up there but the lowest point in the clubs history for me was being 2-0 down away at Morecambe.
It was mid December. Snowing all day. Couldn't even find a supermarket open in the town. The whole place was abandoned.
There was only around 300 Coventry fans for a Saturday game and the overall attendance was 1700. We got played off the pitch.
I have nightmares about Robins bringing on Vincenti and persisting on him being a winger.
People look back on that season fondly, but any of the few hundred that went to every away game know just how bad it was.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the real reason Martin Reeves moved on from the council, he was caught outI can't say exactly who because believe it or not there are still NDA's in place over that shite

I was there and it wasn't that bad really, because it was in the context of a season where we were looking likely all season to make the play offs. The games the season before were literally without hope.That's up there but the lowest point in the clubs history for me was being 2-0 down away at Morecambe.

This - most people are blinkered due to true play offs - that season was dogshite, every team was awful, refs were seriously shite and the Ricoh was empty.That's up there but the lowest point in the clubs history for me was being 2-0 down away at Morecambe.

The away games were a lot of fun though, especially enjoyed the flares and mini pitch invasions each time we scored.This - most people are blinkered due to true play offs - that season was dogshite, every team was awful, refs were seriously shite and the Ricoh was empty.
there were odd moments but the rest of it was horrible, Grimsby away when McNulty scored that opportunistic pass back goal was *pun intended* grim
I Went into that game with so much optimism with Slade taking charge, and for the first 10 minutes we pumped long balls into the corners which at least looked like we had some sort of game plan at last. My optimism had evaporated by half timeBristol Rovers away Boxing Day 2016 4-1 loss was the worst imo
Stood on the hill 22 times. There’s always been this idea that the people going in always got the abuse and that it wasn’t reciprocated - it was, most of the time, initiated by those going in. People just couldn’t keep their gobs shut and let people get on with things.
How many games do you think the tramp hatters turned up on the hill? Once. Against Bradford when the Sky cameras were up there…
I'm sure there was another player who did the same from that team, couldn't bear the thought of being a League 2 player, ended up going on loan because he couldn't find a club. Just can't recall who that wasJordan Turnbull jumping ship because he didn't want to play in the 4th tier was my low point.

Hello Tim!Another sorry saga was that Brentford game where Fisher got roughed up in that bar in Ealing after the game....
Ok people could say he was unwise to be in there, but it was pure bullying of a guy on his own. Really was shameful.
I probably stood fairly close to you then as we were in there too. Thankfully, I used to park in the car park at the opposite end but I never saw anyone going in dishing out the abuse. I do recall one guy who went every week on the protest coach that they put up at one point and went into the ground on the sly.I had a season ticket behind the goal, immediately in front of the hill. In fact, i was the guy who charged up the hill after the Brentford game to confront those on the hill dishing out abuse, which led to the police getting involved, and i think it was reported on CWR at the time. (i also recall certain "fans" on here saying that i got what i deserved)
Obviously i didn't see everyone who went in..... but i never once noticed those going in the ground dishing out abuse to those on the hill. I'm sure it happened on occasion..... it was an entirely sorry period for the club.... everyone against each other.... fans outside trying to disrupt the game.... shit atmosphere inside the ground......
A real shame as for the first part of the season there was some really good football played.... Wilson and the other chap up front, Cyrus Christie as well.... some really good high-scoring games...... unfortunately by the end of the period at Northampton we had the likes of Akpom and Delfonso playing and it was considerably worse..... i'm sure we only won one game at "home" after xmas that season.

I left as soon as the third went in, then heard a cheer again on the way back to the car!! How things have changed!!I Went into that game with so much optimism with Slade taking charge, and for the first 10 minutes we pumped long balls into the corners which at least looked like we had some sort of game plan at last.
