    Boreham Wood

    Not sure the FA is actually awash with funds Yes they made a £16m profit in 2017 but the accounts show - Net current liabilities £64m - cash flow deficits in 2017 of £29m and 2016 £97m - turnover down 18m - a balance sheet of plus £146m but that includes fixed assets of £571m ....... they have...

    Bristol Rovers at Home

    Just out of interest how many rugby teams rent their stadium to a PL or EFL team? I cant think of any. It has always been the other way round hasn't it? It would seem, given the FA/EFL rules on primacy, that rugby teams where tenants have always played second fiddle because the football team own...

    Bristol Rovers at Home

    Not great for CCFC and a consequence of a whole lot of bad history. Sadly we can expect more of the same. For the foreseeable future this is how it will be. We will keep having this discussion but nothing will change. We are left with the realities Why would Wasps put the interests of CCFC...

    Peterborough game moved to Friday 23rd November

    I don't like Friday night games and for me it is not what I want and is a problem. I do empathise with those fans who must travel distance to watch on the Friday night Strange that there was nothing contractually agreed on this. Clearly there wasn't anything that meant CCFC got precedence on...

    Best And Worst Of This World Cup ?

    Best thing - the emergence of an England team with a bit of potential that reignited the support of the country Worst Thing - the diving, it might have been comical in parts but it is cynical cheating and FIFA need to do something about it. All teams guilty of it but some even had players...

    The World Cup Thread

    I think England did the themselves, the fans and the tournament proud. Well done them but please keep it up, do not be side tracked from what you have just learnt and started. The first half last night was really good to watch and just lacked that 2nd or 3rd goal to seal it. Had England been 2...

    In The Times today

    not really sure why anyone has to choose one above the other, its not like they are going to compete against each other in any sense I also suspect that being involved in the atmosphere at Englands games when they succeed is special and colours feelings at the time. Doesn't inhibit...

    In The Times today

    Just proves you shouldn't judge someone or draw conclusions on the basis of a few words in a newspaper doesn't it. CJ doesn't need to prove his passion for Ccfc to anyone, the lad has done that over many years in a variety of ways from matches home and away, involvement in the trust, helping...

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    Indeed they did in season 2016/17, ours was £4.45m. It would be reasonable to expect wage costs in the championship to have continued to rise the bottom ten clubs in season 2016/17 had the following wages costs 24th Rotherham 8.7m (relegated) 23rd Wigan 16.6m (relegated) 22nd Blackburn 22m...

    Richard Keys

    the measure of a man, or for that matter a woman, should be judged on all his/her qualities or imperfections or deeds or misdeeds............. the fact that someone once played football well, even brilliantly, or regularly appeared on TV wasn't an excuse then and it still isn't Neither Keys nor...

    Colombia

    The ref wasn't the best ...... but that does not excuse the behaviour of the Columbian players, right from the start. They set out with a game plan to disrupt the game as much as possible, then they blame the referee when they get found out . Unfortunately it was one of those times where the...

    Court Case Thread! June 2018

    Not going to go into the arguments again as to why attendance figures are far more important to CCFC than Wasps League attendances 2017/18 CCFC (23 games) = 207638 (including 14k free tickets on community day) (1% drop) Wasps ( 11 games) = 194096 (17% drop on previous year) not the biggest drop...

    or....... they take their compensation that is paid in cash repay their investors at least in part. Then as part of the deal they take on the long lease of the whole stadium effectively as a payment in kind (so no cash/loan/cost involved, but the investors are effectively repaid by the asset...
