It's better not to get involved.
I wonder if fans of other clubs constantly complain about any of their players who have increased in value in the future?
But we sold him for a large fee at the time and we also have a sell on clause? I don't get it.
Are you serious?
Although the OP goes to the extreme it wouldn't be the first time a player has gone the other way. Two if you take Andy Coles moving from Newcastle to Man U IIRC. Would that players(s) value be included in any sell on clause? Sadly I don't know the answer to that question as we only had home economics not football economics as an option at my school. Perhaps Grendull can tell us? They did at his school apparently.
Well I can't be bothered to check but I'm going to guess Sixfields as a home record was vastly superior to most at the Ricoh. I reckon third best in the last decade.
That includes seasons when we averaged 20,000 plus. Now I could be wrong but don't think I am. It's certainly better than the league one seasons.
And imagine how much better it could have been with an atmosphere like we had at the Ricoh last Tuesday?
Can I join the bukkake?
So we had a better atmosphere with average crowds of 11,000 that 21,000? Really? That's an extraordinary claim.
That's not what I said so why you deliberately make yourself look stupid by suggesting I did is beyond me.
I was clearly making the comparison between the library atmosphere at Sixfields and the way a decent crowd creating a decent atmosphere like last Tuesday can lift a team and turn 1 point into 3 points.
Like I said. Let's not pretend that ever happened at Sixfields. Hence my imagine how much better it could have been comment in regards to that season.
we won a few games there didn't we? The same as we lost against crewe with a full house?
I'm not saying we were amazing, but we did get results there didn't we?
Despite the atmosphere. Imagine what more we might have achieved with the twelfth man?
So does size of crowd at home have an impact in your view on results?
In other words would you say the season at Sixfields we would have had a far closer correlation between home and away results than at the Ricoh where a superior home attendance creates a positive impact?
How would you produce a statistical analysis to prove a large home following has an influence? To me that is the barometer,
You are basing it on what ifs then? Sorry I was basing it on facts that we did actually get a few wins at sixfields.
If we had lost every game you would have had a point.
Please. Don't try and pretend that playing at Sixfields contributed to our performances that season.
Do you think TM was wrong to say that the crowd was the twelfth man last Tuesday? Would SP ever have been able to say that at Sixfields?

Again, you are basing it on guesswork.
You made out as if we had bad results at Sixfields, quiet like a library or not I think we won more than we lost or drew.
I am all for big attendances and people getting behind the club as much as possible, there is still no proof our form would have been better at the Ricoh though. Like when we played Crewe in the JPT when we had a massive attendance.
(This is not me saying Sixfields was good, just basing it on results before and after sixfields form)
A long time ago (around about when we were playing Chelsea in the cup I think) I did some analysis of how we did in games with a larger than average crowd. If memory serves me the was quite a strong negative correlation. It's not for nothing we feel that we bottle it in big games.
The opposite analysis (on small crowds) would be interesting, especially with Sixfields taken into account.
I suggest you read back Nick, I never suggested that at all. What I did say is that we could have had a better season had we been home playing in front of crowds like last Tuesday.
I'll ask again. Was TM wrong to say that fans were the twelfth man last Tuesday? Was SP ever able to say that at Sixfields?

Yes, the key word there is "could" and not "would".
I thought the fans were great last Tuesday, I am going off facts though rather than should and could. We could well have done loads better, we could well have done worse.
We lost to Worcester at the Ricoh with 4 times as many people as when we beat Sheffield United, for example.
It's not the size of the crowd it's what they bring to the game. Last Tuesday the crowd although smaller than some at the Ricoh brought something to the game and the team fed of it. That's TM's view too, as expressed after the game on CWR.
Now unfortunately for you I witnessed the atmosphere at Sixfields on the highlights show and also first hand from the hill and it was pretty obvious that the team were never lifted by the atmosphere.
Yet the statistical correlation proves you wrong.
Embarrassing isn't it.
Who has said the small crowds got results and where?When we had the best strike force while playing at Northampton we were doing well. Once one was sold and the other one was injured our results nosedived. If what I am reading from a couple was true it wasn't the players we had that got the good results but the smaller crowds that got us the results. If so why did we have a poor second half of the season?

Have a read and see? That there's no guarantee the results would have been any better at the ricoh.What has been said then?

They could well have been, but there's nothing to say they would be which is the statement made.
Nobody is saying it is the small crowds doing anything.
look if someone is right I will agree but honestly the shit they are coming out with tonight is just unbelievable wuming.You couldn't stop agreeing with Grendel last week!
look if someone is right I will agree but honestly the shit they are coming out with tonight is just unbelievable wuming.
so SP was god while we were at sixfields they sold his best players and our form dipped then all of a sudden he is Crap.
Callus Wilson will never score in the championship one season wonder.
Allum Wilson will not score in the Premises not good enough has 4 goals to his name but hey who else would want him, after all he is shit.
PUSB
Oh and it has nothing to do with blaming Sisu, it is more about laughing at the so called know it all on here who believe all the shit they are fed....

No, nobody is saying anybody was god. Just that it is fact we won a fair few games at home. That's true isn't it?
It's funny How you don't mention when tony is going on about sell on fees and imagines words in paragraphs to make the club look bad.
Amazing how you and astute come steaming in without reading, just need dongo next but I guess he is only about court cases.
