Me and my son are going, but his mate wants to come. Can we pay on the day ?

Fine, last I read;

Advanced sales will cease at 4pm on Friday (February 22nd) but supporters will be able to pay on arrival at the game with no price increase.

[f it increases revenue it has to be a good thing doesn’t it]

Womble supporters were sold out and the club was dragged away from them against their wishes. If CCFC don’t find a ground they cease to exist apparently? If true it’s not the same senario Corno. Despite any adverse feelings towards the support base if it increases revenue it has to be a good thing doesn’t it?

Morals vs. Money though.  Felt wrong accommodating their stay last time.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the EFL went back on their 'must play in Coventry' line, if it means they can fulfill their fixtures.

CCFC are in a mess between their hedge-fund owners, their council, and Wasps (amongst others) a complete mess!

I'd suggest that the short term financial gain would be outstripped by the reputation damage of dealing with SISU. Not to mention the trouble Coventry fans could cause if they turn even further against SISU. And we wonder why the bigger companies won't deal with NTFC. Not worth it.

Absolutely this.

I see the Chron has Morias and Williams down as starting tomorrow with no Hoskins in the eleven .
I would say the likelihood of that is virtually nil percent !
It will be one up front and the aim will be to keep a clean sheet at all costs ....

Nothing wrong with trying to keep a clean sheet, that will ensure at least one point maybe three. And no I'm not DEFENDER 

Regarding the East Stand, in any other situation you'd have a rounded analysis that, alongside finishing the structure, included:

1. Boxing it off, making safe and sitting on the land values for a time of uplift.
2. Demolition or part demolition and rebuild

There appears to have been no public discussion of those 2 options. The increase in capacity since Cardoza wrecked what was a good little stand is c200 seats. Cardoza's plans were never of great value to the football club so it makes sense to be cautious about a panic to finish the job.

The East Stand was designed with a simple, modular build and for it to go back another tier to mirror the West Stand in capacity.

Some questions remain.

What is now stopping the club from dealing with the East Stand situation? They have indicated they have funds. Are the club's stadium plans completely separate from or contingent to monies from other development?

Has the memorandum of understanding been kept to with the Council and are the Council still in a position to develop the wider land themselves to claw back the missing millions?

What, if any, claims do Buckinghams still have over the project?

Will any works to the stadium be sufficiently future-proofed in terms of facilities and capacity to make them worthwhile?

Again, if there was a stronger local press there could be healthier discussion. Thomas now mainly provides snippets of updates via in-house videos.
