The Council should never have got involved in the Arena project at all. What they've done is create a potential white elephant with too much debt on it. Someone will suffer for that & I guess it won't be CCFC. What we don't know is what went on between SISU & CCC before Wasps became involved...

All shrouded in mystery.

Why didn't SISU release it then? It changes peoples attitudes a great deal. Also I have always been critical of Reid because of the way his writing paints such an extreme picture. It smacks of a fanatical attitude.

Why did Reid sit on an email for years? He still has a perchant for blocking anyone on twitter who is in any way critical of him, his replies are like a fan club.

Do you believe SISU are genuine about building a stadium?

What are your figures? What I found on sbt arena timeline is.. 1998 31st May CCFC H Ltd accounts confirm outline planning permission received for new stadium at the Foleshill Gas works. Total costs expended to that date £150,526

There was decontamination work and the gas holders were demolished in 2002, that all happened before the land was even purchased from British Gas. Gas tower's going, going, gone! How the Ricoh Arena deal was almost scuppered before building started

If they were serious they could do it to force the issue or simply go public.

Where did you get millions on a planning application from. Those are expensive architects. I'd be thinking more like £150,000 (finger in the air for 1 to 2 man years of consultancy time).

You don't actually need to own land to apply for planning permission for it. This means you can apply for permission before deciding whether or not to buy a piece of land.

Wrong, they never bought the land or borrowed from the Council. Sky Blue Trust - 2. The CCFC Ltd/Holdings & Ricoh Build Years:1993 to 2007

You've changed your argument. You originally said the contracts were unhelpful to the stadium owner, well they are helpful to the current owner. That's the situation, I'm not saying that's any help to SISU/CCFC, I never said that but you seem to think that's what you were talking about.

Nonsense, it it was actually a SISU priority then they would be able to force the issue with a proper application. Something between 13 weeks and 26 weeks is the statutory limit for a major development. Determining a planning application

25 year contract, bet they're shitting themselves too, they lost £1.35M on £85M turnover last year.

Partly true, it is a cost control measure that sub contracts to experise in a field. A fee is paid and a service is provided, in some cases reduced profits are shared. Like the Hilton hotel, the Delaware facilities management and the Casino operation. Saves the club dealing with the intracies...

The Tudors were vandals, this one didn't survive Henry VIII .

You're the one who raised the issue, you explain the situation. I won't hold ny breath because from your posts so far it looks like you are struggling with it. Hint, perhaps you can explain why CCFC has contracts with Ticketmaster & Just Sport, what benefit do they confer.
