    Does the budget reflect our position?

    last available info on Accrington is to 31/12/2016. Turnover 2.4m Not sure why it would have improved greatly since then

    Does the budget reflect our position?

    Which or whose financial year are you talking about? The Checkatrade final is in the Otium financial year to 31/05/2017. Those figures are due out by 28/02/2018. The sales of Harries, Thomas & Stevenson are in the Otium financial year to 31/05/2018. The FA cup run is also in 2018 Otium...

    Message to/for Dave Boddy

    Whilst I think Boddy is doing a decent enough job, I am not sure how he gets credit or indeed criticism for the transfer dealings. He isn't involved in team matters as I understand it and is not a statutory director so wont sign off the finance on it. I doubt he has ensured anything to do with...

    Desire, passion & commitment

    When I was doing my FA coaching badge the statistic given to me was that on average 1 goal resulted from 8 chances. We barely create 8 chances in a game. Everyone points to the strikers not scoring, which is after all their main purpose, but they are not the only players that could score. But...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Accrington Stanley Match Thread - Saturday 10th Feb

    Why is it that teams with smaller budgets, smaller crowds, not laden with high debt, and no stars to sell on can find the strong physical, streetwise and hardened players needed at this level but we can't? We have the finance but the decision making throughout the club on and off the pitch is...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Accrington Stanley Match Thread - Saturday 10th Feb

    The annoying thing other than the dire display is that no one is surprised. It was predictable and almost expected. We are too light weight physically and mentally for this division. Great opportunity to convince New or returning fans ...............

    New Ricoh deal close / One Year Agreed

    Entitled to your opinion although I take exception to the implication that I am being deceitful. Yes the ricoh had 250000 football visitors what was the net benefit to wasps of that ie after deduction of costs. Most of the benefit actually goes to Ccfc in match tickets. The wasps holdings...

    New Ricoh deal close / One Year Agreed

    Well if they make little profit from the CCFC matches ...... 100K rent, a 15% split of the F&B (profit split 50:50) which will not be a lot, car parking which they franchised out I believe and maybe a margin on the match day costs it is not going to be big net figures to replace - they lose...

    New Ricoh deal close / One Year Agreed

    Whilst there is mediation about to start it would have been tactically unsound for wasps to take a hard stance this year. They have to demonstrate to the courts they have taken every reasonable step to resolve this matter. They (wasps) really had little choice other than to extend the deal 12...

    New Ricoh deal close / One Year Agreed

    PR damage can be transitory, people tend to have short memories and would CCFC not playing at the Ricoh (a) hurt Wasps financially much (b) worry rugby/wasps fans (c) be quickly forgotten (d) be spun as all SISU's fault (e) be buried by other news in 2020. Could the stadium be used for events...

    New Ricoh deal close / One Year Agreed

    This is the bit is the bit to worry about given our owners, if no alternative site becomes apparent “It is widely known that there are obstacles – in the form of the current legal proceedings – which stand in the way of a longer-term agreement “We believe it is important for all parties...

    New Ricoh deal close / One Year Agreed

    Not sure any mediation following the court instructions has even started yet. They need a deal to be able to sign off the financials 1 year papers over the cracks buys time and means we are unstable for another season. Better than no deal but .....

    Nuneaton MP to raise CCFC home next season in Parliament

    The EFL will not withdraw the share from otium just because wasps do not offer a rental deal acceptable to one of its members. Otium nor the EFL cannot force wasps to offer any rental deal or to set its terms. The EFL have regulatory power over otium as they are member of the league they have no...

    Nuneaton MP to raise CCFC home next season in Parliament

    I think it is just brinkmanship on all sides. SISU have a long history at CCFC of leaving things to the last minute in the hope of applying some sort of pressure to others and Wasps don't need to rush it because they are under no real pressure to get it done, they know that puts pressure on...

    Nuneaton MP to raise CCFC home next season in Parliament

    The EFL will not take the share away or force regime change - it would set a precedent that would be very dangerous for the EFL & FA. Where do they then stop. It would be an action by the board against a member that effectively closes the club down - taking the share away doesn't under the...

    Nuneaton MP to raise CCFC home next season in Parliament

    Not really how it works though tony. If there were a block by CCC then it wouldn't be in the form of a formal statements - that might prejudice their legal position. There are other ways eg not supporting infra structure developments around the ground, getting other developments done that could...
