Were I sit fans generally behave normally - even some of your tics happen! To me your remarks on Tourettes appears that you don't understand that it is a condition of the Nervous System - not to be trivialised.
Another fantastic post from the amazing Everbrite... Question.. are Tourettes suffers bullies? Where you sit is irrelevant ...Top tier east stand would be good for you, and give the rest of us some peace!

I’ve mentioned this before but FFS. In most bridging Towns and Cities the river is the focal point and part of the identity and civic pride of the community. Take Melbourne, a walk along the Yarra is fantastic pretty much whichever stretch you pick. Parks, hotels, bars, restaurants, retail, Sea Life Aquarium, Crown Casino, Olympic Park, I could list the attractions all day. Any photographs of Melbourne invariably include the river and that goes for almost every town with one running through it. There is that whole stretch of river from Carlsberg right through to Sixfields crying out for development. With a bit of imagination think what you could do with it, with Sixfields and the Saints integrated into the whole scheme. Northampton Town Centre is dying yet an effective travel link from South Bridge along the old Bedford line through the development and similarly from All Saints to South Bridge such as a tram line could effectively link the 2 and be the catalyst to regenerate and kick start the whole town. Instead of blowing any available money on a stand, if the club was smart it could invest in a protected stake holding in that development and generate an income outside of football to support the club financially for generations to come. All it needs is a progressive thinking council, like minded developers, some motivation and a few dreams. On the other hand let’s build another warehouse. Northampton has a motto of Castello Fortior Concordia - Peace is stronger than a fortress. Perhaps it should be changed, how do you say “fcuk it that’ll do” in Latin? Maybe I am deluded, but you just want to put your head in your hands and weep.
Carrow Road Norwich would be a good UK example, next to a canal and bars restaurants along the embankment a short walk away from the ground..amazing idea

This is a superb move from the club a truly inclusive and welcoming gesture. As most Afghan refugees are aged around 20 there must be some talent in there. Sign them first. We need to teach them some songs, it will help with their grasp of English, I know how it feels to be a stranger abroad. Get your...  Was working in Austria a couple of years ago, and used to watch KSV 1919, at that time the influx via Turkey, Greece and Italy was at its height. To gain Austrian citizenship, the immigrants had to show their desire to become part of the local society. So they were ''pushed'' by local officers into attending KSV games. They turned up in African dress with BIG drums and just enjoyed themselves... No Idea what they were chanting probably something like ... ''we're only here for the passport ..here for the passssport.. We're only here for the passport'' Bless em..

The point is that swearing is a form of bullying.
Tourettes is a syndrome that causes involuntary sounds, are they bullies? Examples of vocal tics include: grunting throat clearing whistling coughing tongue clicking animal sounds saying random words and phrases repeating a sound, word or phrase swearing Actually..a good description of what to expect at fkn Sixfields on a fkn game day..

To be fair to Curle, I don't think he's an entirely bad manager. He's just a very stubborn and predictable one. He wants to play in a very particular (albeit unattractive) style and on its day that style works well.
I don't know what he put in their tea during the playoff campaign, but whatever it was on those days his gameplan worked to perfection. We played brilliant ugly football and it was great. We steamrollered both Cheltenham and Exeter. They didn't know what had hit them.
I think adrenaline was a big factor though and the players all exerted themselves to the max of their ability. It's impossible to maintain those levels over a season though, especially when you lose the core of the team, and as a result last year really exposed his limitations.
Some folks forget when the man did good.

Not the match thread yet, but just to say that tickets only went on sale to home fans today..... priced at £12 + a £1 booking fee for all tickets.... even if you pay cash at the turnstiles you still pay a quid on top! Suppose that means that Coventry can keep all the booking fees and not include them in our split of ticket sales.... a bit naughty!! Car parking is also available at the ground....and the cost of that is also £12!! https://www.glideparking.com/cbsarena/events/413/car-parks/Something to be aware of before you travel. Silly question...wots this cash thingy...is it similar to the beep beep of a plastic charge..? Booking fee, outsourcing ..

Do you know anything about 5USPORT or where their money came from in the first instance? I don't.
Around the time of the proposed investment, the Chinese government changed some local controls on overseas sports investments, as 5USport were not a big player, its likely that they had to get the money back to the PRC. I think Singcob mentioned something about this previously. The rich in China are using many ways to get money out of the country in various ways, thus the cap by the Commies.
