So Hull don't own their stadium either, and yet have still managed to rise to the prem without claiming they need every penny from pies & tea. (Im referring to before when their particular loon took over, having graduated from the Sisue school of ownership...).

I think Sisue are clinging onto the hope that one day they will be able to sell the complete package to a rich American or Far Eastern investor. Sorry, but that ship sailed a long time ago..

Because the only people in here who are claiming foul play by ACL/CCFC are supporting SISU in their attempt to discredit them and take over the Ricoh. It's a bit like the school bully running to the teacher because you accidently trod on his foot...

40 odd pages on the other thread, and not one mention that ACL/CCFC acted in a criminal manner. So why drag your landlord through expensive legal proceedings, SISU lover....?

Yes, like paying rent and engaging in honourable business practices.

One victim didn't know who he was, and was attacked when he said which team he supported. I'd say that was a "Yes".

If this mythical far eastern investor came along they'd have to have a massive pile of cash to invest, merely owning a stadium would tie up many millions and only save the pittance of a rent and give a bit of pie and parking money. If you won the lottery, you wouldn't blow every penny on the...

He should get a lifetime ban from every football ground in the country, and sixfields too. That's what a fan would get for football-related violence.

If they get an extra thousand people to go at a tenner a ticket, they only need to play 2,000 home games* before there's enough money in the bank to build SISU towers... *(I couldn't be arsed to work out how many years that would take).

Must be the excitment of moving to a rented stadium that they'll never own or earn benefits from non-football activities there...

Weren't ccfc consulted during the design stage, since it was built for them...? Or didn't they bother at the time, in the same way they didn't bother accepting a sliding rent scale...?

Lets hope ccfc draw some crappy lower div team, who can be persuaded to rent the Ricoh as their home ground for a guaranteed 12k attendance instead of less at their home ground. The other team's fans might not like it, or then again could show solidarity with ccfc and give their side a bit of an...

I wish I could offer some advice in return, but as you know ccfc are now playing in a minor suburb of Cov called Northampton. If you travel in the train, why not break your journey in our fine city and visit Rainbows, it's near to the station and you'll be assured of a warm and friendly welcome.

Stop giving ACL ideas, sooner or later they'll realise they have no moral obligation to provide a football pitch to an ungrateful club for a pittance of a rent, and will secure investment to rebuild the area as an undercover exhibition/concert venue. It's almost worth calling ccfc's bluff....

You've missed the bit where after a couple of years of ownership with dwindling attendencies and a performance that will make relegation from the championship ultimately inevitable, SISU start blaming the previous owners if CCFC for creating an unworkable rent agreement with ACL and bring up a...

I'd expect them to offer a long term contract with a choice of either a sliding scale based on the league position or a fixed annual rent (haven't we been here before....?). I'd also expect them to say "Look, we're the stadium owners, we'll concentrate on that, you worry about the football...

Bradford City- there's another team who went into freefall....

Anyone else accidently wander into "Mr Yardies", which was upstairs from Mr G's...? I thought it was a bit strange that they only served Red Stripe, and were playing "Return of the Mac" on a loop. We weren't the only white people in there, just the only white blokes. I tried chatting up a bird...

Didn't ACL submit a bid for CCFC...? But unfortunately Appleton couldn't accept it as it wasn't the highest bid from within SISU.

For nearly as long as I've been paying you in used knickers, you dirty bastard.
