    7 points away from safety and bottom

    Need to achieve over 52% of the remaining points left this season simply to stay up. We have achieved 26% so far. Just don't see this squad achieving that even with the addition of a couple more players.

    Linnell to Peter Bodak

    I found bodaks comments during the game irritating as he and Geoff struggled to be heard against each other However his final comments were spot on in my opinion

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    Walsall I think you have to do a bit more digging than that stupot. The two comparable years are at the moment 2015. That year Walsall got to Wembley in the final of the Johnstones Paint Trophy - that's going to boost any clubs commercial income. In 2015-16 they had more success reaching the...

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    And yet for years at the Ricoh without these vital income streams CCFC still managed to have a greater turnover in L1 than most clubs - yet we cant compete? Teams have been promoted on lower turnovers than ours. Yes we should acquire all the income we can but the argument put forward by TF...

    The Butts

    Reid article Surely if the best interests of CRFC is to deal with SISU then CRFC have to deal with them. In any case who does Sharp think signs off on rent deals, finance etc. He can play with words all he likes but control of CCFC is through SISU. There is a reason that Seppala's assistant is...

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    The further down the pyramid you go the more important other incomes become because they form a bigger percentage of a smaller income pot. Seems to be an indication of the mind set and ambition of the owners & directors then that they place such heavy emphasis on the other incomes. take the...

    The Butts

    Frankly pissed off with much/all of this. In particular....... I wish that CCFC and CRFC would simply state what the plan is, make it clear to everyone and stick to it. Forget all the clever talk, in plain English what is the plan and with who & when, how will it work or be funded. A plan we...

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    the club used to get 900 spaces as part of the lease & licence. What I was told was the total cost of being at the Ricoh ran at around 300k We do not actually know that ACL are selling at a profit not a straight recharge. Its just a reasonable assumption. If we owned the stadium the incomes...

    Income streams from the Ricoh

    The joint venture between Compass and ACL that is IEC came in to existence in April 2012. A year before CCFC went in to administration and then off to Sixfields. It hived off the supply side of the stadium in to a separate entity. It was also about this time in 2012 that ACL decided it could not...

    I think the media coverage locally from all sources has been poor cut and paste standard. I understand the pressures that journalists and papers are under but how many times have they got the basics wrong, misunderstood leading to misled, or failed to ask/report the next obvious question. just...
