Just to point out how confusing this is duffy, The £14m mortgage that you refer is whats left of the ACL mortgage, originally of £21m. It has been reduced by £7m (coincidentally this is just about what CCFC have paid to ACL in rent over the period). That ACL "mortgage" is a mortgage on the...

Strange that! Why on earth would that worry you? :pimp:

Yeah! I kinda see it that way too! but you have to agree the thing they really do best is masking their expertise! :pimp:

The ERDF line is £4,700k reduced to £4,374k because the station works were curtailed. I was looking more at the two £17,000k lines, one for expenditure: "Decomination and infrastructure (expenditure in kind)" and one for income: "Sale of land (Tesco - contribution in kind)" which has been...

No animosity, but I know a little of what goes on! :pimp:

You know me wingy! I'm not one for crucifying the hand that feeds me! ;) Still it will all come out in the wash, no point in raising it after that! :pimp:

Here is a snapshot of the completion report. :pimp:

Yeh, you got me there! I'm not and you are. I did actually work for them though! Still, I feel reassured now I know you are happy with it. :pimp:

Thanks ob, Is the landlord mitigation bit not related to finding another tenant? Surely there are plenty of teams out there looking for a new home? Six months ought to find one?:) Anyway aren't they free to fill it with concerts? We were never an exclusive tenant? btw is ACL's claim (that...

Good!, lets leave it at that then! I'm not sure that your postulations are conducive to the good health of CCFC! why not leave the boys to play? :pimp:

Where did you get that from? I can't see any mention of that in the completion report. :pimp:

Well I guess that's what the council intended us to think! Thank you council! But if they put in £10m when they should have already paid £17m for the cleanup didn't they really save £7m? Tescos footed most of the bill anyway, they put in £67m! (ish) So perhaps we should be saying Thank you...

Thanks for your response JS (I was beginning to think I'd been sent to Coventry!) :) I am still hoping someone will come back with an insight into the history of the gasworks, either from personal knowledge or archives. Particularly in respect of whether or not it was ever council owned/run. I...

Some things just don't seem right, it never seemed right to me that CCC stepped in and bailed out ACL with Council funds. We will see how that stands up now challenged. Another thing that has always bugged me is who should have paid for the Gasworks clean-up? Its normal for the polluter to pay...

On another thread someone suggested there was 30% profit in the hot dogs. It would be more like 100% (or 50% of SP) in my experience, but the hot dog seller would probably declare a loss to the taxman, after costs! The profit still goes in his pocket! In reality he probably doesn't even do a...

It ain't all that bad! Just because ccfc are not making a profit does not mean its owners aren't! They are taking 1 or 2m (10-20% of turnover) a year and this is to be expected, so would any other owner. Get used to this its a fact of life, even if the club was 100% fan owned there would...

Because they will find it a bit awkward if some other party buys it! :pimp:

Good question that! What will it take to be free of the lease? Is administration enough? :pimp:

Can I take £10 at that please? :pimp:

Your figures are good, but perhaps SISU wouldn't need a mortgage, they have investors money to utilise. Sure they have to give a return but that's what they are in business for. If they have a preference to buy rather than rent, why not? but I don't think the plan of 12000 extending as needed...
