    Wasps merging with ACL

    That assumes that the attendance income is the main part of the income. It is significant but it is approx half of the rugby income (the other half being guaranteed central distribution) but rugby income is one third of total income in round terms. Because of the other income wasps have a...

    ricoh grows in value......according to wasps

    I agree. It was not valuation based but a ransom payment. A payment that hamstrung the stadium from day one and in turn affected ccfc

    ricoh grows in value......according to wasps

    Assuming they have used proper principles and PI insurance then I would guess they would sleep soundly. Thoughts Two different valuers have arrived at values over 40m The value has gone up despite no stadium sponsorship The value has gone up despite no long term agreement with Ccfc Does an...

    ricoh grows in value......according to wasps

    What wasps bought in 2014 was the net value of ACL without wasps. What was valued in 2015 was a long lease with wasps. Two different things and the valuation in 2015 is not the net worth of acl They should have had to buy ACL with a long lease but then again I have never understood why the...

    ricoh grows in value......according to wasps

    You are quite right I disagree they haven't paid £14m they have replaced one loan with another. Overall cost nil. They also replaced part of the owners loan again in real terms no change just different lenders. They raised additional funds above that to invest in the infrastructure and to cover...

    Wasps merging with ACL

    Will wait for the accounts to come out but even profitable excellent businesses ( not saying this is ) should look to keep costs down and avoid unprofitable duplication. So it could be a sign of struggle or good housekeeping at this stage. Not sure what purpose ACL serves but haven't most staff...

    Dave Boddy - New CEO

    Been here several times before haven't we. Its a new face but he wont be making the strategic decisions for the club, he simply wont have the authority to do so. Hope he does well on the immediate commercial side, I doubt he will be making many decisions for the team & manager (I sincerely hope...

    Academy to stay at Higgs

    Wasps year end is 30 June and they have to publish the figures by 30 October so we should get an insight into their current finances in around 4 mths from now What i would like to see from CCFC is some kind of information/commitment regarding the next couple of years. We are still in the...

    Academy to stay at Higgs

    Good news........ up until March at least. I thought the facilities and Academy prog had to be guaranteed for a 12 month period? Although in this case not averse to some EFL/FA discretion What happens after March, what's the long term plan? Some breathing space at least. But everything coming...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    So after all that was said in the Brexit campaign net EU migration for the UK is 133k during 2016, not a huge figure. Immigration was a central pillar of the Leave campaign argument, although it was never clear which figure they were talking about - total, net, EU, Non EU etc. I would think...

    The FL Fixtures

    my educated guess is that at the time he said it he was just guessing with aim at deflecting questions The link to the SCMP details is in my post above...... L1 & L2 do not use FFP. The percentage is 55% EFL Official Website - Appendix 5 - Financial Fair Play Regulations Going to depend on...

    The FL Fixtures

    As usual TF says things with an element of truth to try to keep his immediate audience happy. Him saying it is no evidence of a top 8 budget and therefore an aim of top 8 finish at all, because he cannot know yet what the other club budgets are. We could be overachieving at 10th or...

    The FL Fixtures

    How do we know it will be 8th? Isnt that Fisher or whoever playing with words along the lines of the turnover last season would have been 8th in L2 last season perhaps? When this claim was first made he/they could have had no idea of the other clubs budgets 2017-18 surely, I doubt the budgets...

    London fire

    For those interested in what the regulations seem to say regarding cladding and the risks identified these links make worrying reading. It took 5 minutes to get the information so why cant media, politicians, contractors, decision makers etc do it. The standards are referred to and the risks...

    The FL Fixtures

    Teams in contention for top 7 I think will be Luton Exeter Carlisle Colchester Wycombe Notts County Port Vale Swindon Stevenage CCFC In financial terms then looking at what info is available to be successful in L2 Turnover has to exceed something like £4m it seems (just my guess)

    The FL Fixtures

    Its not being self indulgent to think how we have fallen. Nothing wrong in comparing what was with what is. Just need to keep things in perspective, be realistic about what we are now. Most fans I would think were eager to see the list and many will have thought of days gone by when we played...
