If Fisher held a fans forum and showed a business plan that stood up to scrutiny and showed us being much better off with the new stadium (and owning it). And had purchased the land and told us where it would be and shown us the plans and it seemed possible to get planning permission then that would be a totally different situation to what we have now and people would be able to make their minds up as to if they wished to support the plan or not.

You could build a new stadium outside of Cov and be a 2 min walk from the Ricoh so in reality the boundary is not a huge issue but the fact is there is nothing to suggest we would actually be any better off, have the funding to build it, have a site or any plans. I might as well go on CWR myself and announce my plans for a huge new state of the art stadium, there's about as much chance of me buiilding one as their is of the Fisher Arena actually happening.

Difference is - I suspect you are guessing about your chances. If these rumours are true...they are trying to make something happen (even if it isn't the building of a new stadium)

Think there are a number of things going on through this press release

- saying to ACl we are not going away
- saying to the fans we are coming back
- saying to the football league we are following through on what we said
- that there is finance there
- that there is a plan
- we want the freehold dont want talks about rent

Trouble is in pretty much all of the article there is very little substance, parts of it contradict other parts, and it plays with words. Also think they (sisu) are not best pleased Haskell seems to have returned so thats upped the stakes for them. Plus all the PR regarding the FPA charity match has been lost in TF's radio and media appearances

More smoke and mirrors in my opinion ....... trick is now to spot what they are really up to - thats not changed in months though

But how do you negotiate with someone who allegedly has said if you don't sell the freehold to me at my price then we're not coming back? Her price could be half a tube of toothpaste and a bag of crisps or maybe as you suggested £10m or my suggestion of £5m (as I think you've been too generous). Would anyone here sell the freehold of the Ricoh to SISU at under £15m?

The same as you do if you fancy a nice fillet of haddock down the market.
