    Club finally responds to yesterday....

    Not sure what people expected the club to say "Darn it we'd have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you pesky meddling councillors". Now is not the time for a war of words but a time for sensible actions: time to get rent sorted on a mutually beneficial basis, get Blair Adams signed up...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Who on Twitter is saying this about losing the contract? Club or who? Rent has been paid (PKH confirmed this to Trust just now) but the lost contract story just beggars belief

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    The current deal from ACL is a much reduced rent and with new finances in place maybe sweetened a little further still and a 50% share of the matchday profits. A new owner coming in will be able to buy the charity's 50% share of ACL, form a real partnership with council to develop leisure land...

    Not many will agree with me, but :-

    I would see anyone coming in to buy would do so in conjunction with forming a real partnership with ACL for development of leisure land, maybe buying the Charity portion of ACL. Deal would be bigger than just the football club itself, just as it should have been for SISU but they managed to...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Will they get arena and be able to sell it? NO Will they invest enough to get us to land of milk and honey (Premiership) NO ) Nor should we expect them to - clubs have to operate within their means) Are they still losing £250k every week YES How long do you think SISU will continue writing...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    My feeling for what its worth (not a Trust view but my personal view) is assuming Joy doesn't decide to act spitefully and irrationally and liquidate then they will hang on for another couple of months to see if promotion is likely - if its on then they might give it a go if it looks unlikely...

    Not many will agree with me, but :-

    I think its a: carry on as now, cost cutting and bumping along and hoping by some miracle that MR can get promotion on a shoestring that will get even thinner b: refuse to pay rent and be forced into liquidation by ACL and get their ARVO money (not more than £1m) c: sell up at a price above...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    I am sure the council have made sure its 100% legal and I am equally sure SISU's lawyers will be searching high and low for a loophole as we speak. Personally I would see it more as the council protecting a 50% council owned company that leases from a 100% council company - basically council...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    This money has not come from Council reserves but because of the unique credit rating of councils they can get very favourable loan rates from the Public Loans Work Board, this is below the usual commercial rate and they have then lent this on to ACL at a slightly higher rate. Thus the council...

    150 years anniversary

    1883 + 150 = 2033 No harm in planning ahead I guess.

    Tonight's match

    I have no idea how much it costs to switch on and run the under soil heating but I do fear a row happening between ACL and CCFC as to who pays for it - up to now the club has paid the match day costs but would this be classified as an extra? If so who pays? Its a shame that we can even call into...

    Leon clarke

    Murphy is safe then - after all he is to blame for each and every goal scored against us and even some scored at different grounds in matches we don't play in

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    He said it comes from the Public Works Loans Board - what he didn't know is where the PWLB gets it money so not exactly a massive crime.

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    He is Peter Knatchbull-Huggeson the guy is in charge off the Higgs Charity and a Director of ACL. Top guy who always comes on here to tell us what he can.

    Tonight's match

    With rent dispute etc hope the under pitch heating is switched on and the game is not called off. Hate to think that the two sides start bickering over who pays the bill for it etc
