    Arena dilapidation costs - £12.9m over next 3 years

    So as well as being general w@nkers for a multitude of reasons, we can add 'letting the stadium fall apart' to the list for those f&%king parasites?

    Arena dilapidation costs - £12.9m over next 3 years

    I don't think that does explain no Sky matches to be honest. There's been a few iFollow games on midweek and the picture and light has been just fine.

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    Depends on the event I guess. If it's a multi-day event and your attendees aren't all local, you're going to need beds somewhere. There's definitely not enough rooms in the DTbH at the Arena to service the size of the events they have.

    Your honour, I rest my case :-) Maybe a case of the protecting the city centre hotels but given the potential for the Arena, it would make sense to add another hotel on.

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    I don't the boundaries of the NEC but I know the Hilton Birmingham Met has about 740 bedrooms. You've also got the Genting Arena Hotel, Crowne Plaza, HGI Birm Airport and the HI Express NEC. Probably between 1,500-2000 bedrooms between them I'd guess? With twins, I'd imagine 3-3.5k beds...

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    Honestly, don't know to be honest. Vested interest in the existing hotel stock and not wanting to upset the apple cart?? A simple example to further explain my points though. I used to work for a hotel in West Susssex who had meeting space for events for up to 500 ppl but we could only...

    They've not asked me to go to EFL HQ yet to be fair...

    I don't mate, that's why I said 'no one knows and i'd ask the question'. ;-)

    No one knows. I have a contact at the EFL so I've mailed him and asked if he knows how long it takes. Will post if I get a response.

    Mike Ashley Takeover …Ready and Waiting

    The thing is, there's a large exhibition hall that can get 12,000 in. A stadium bowl that can accommodate 40k for concerts. There's a hotel onsite which has less than 200 bedrooms (I think - memory not what it used to be). The ratio of bedrooms to potential visitors to events is stupidly low...

    Do you think he was genuine with his £25m?

    Doug King Takeover

    Yeah, that's the thing. As @skybluetony176 says, if the 'takeover' would've happened much more earlier than 24hrs before the Arena purchase deadline, he would have more credence. He would've known the deadlines - why leave it to the last minute with a lesser chance of success??

    And as far as King goes, my initial enthusiasm has been tempered by the fact that he's apparently involved with another Cayman Islands based Hedge Fund. If that's the case, he's not different to SISU. I guess we've seen more of him in 48hrs that we have of Joy in 15 years. He's a Norwich City...

    No mate - can't play chess. F&6ked if I'm bother to learn about 3D/4D chess. Can you explain the relevance to our situation? Why are people saying it's like 3D chess? I get the saying that certain situations are like a game of chess but 3D/4D...I don't get it 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Out of interest, how do you know he's a one man band? I find it hard to believe that someone who has £25m plus, is a one man band??

    I must ask: What the f&*k is 3D or 4D chess?
