    A quick sum

    Yes ACL did apply for an administration order against Ltd. relating to £1.3m unpaid rent, they didn't actually put us into Admin. Sisu put us into Admin on "Black Thursday" beating the High Court case scheduled for the next day. At any point before the case was due in court Sisu could have paid...

    Yep if Sisu hadn't put us into Administration there wouldn't have been a CVA to reject.

    A quick sum

    You're right to a certain extent they managed to annoy the Ricoh & ACL owners by going on the rent boycott and legal action choosing only to negotiate once partial damage had been done. Damage (especially after last week) such that we're unlikely to be owners of ACL or the Ricoh anytime soon...

    Food and Beverage revenues

    Sorry, I've not seen the info on that, do you have a link? At the very least it would have given us two seats on a board made up of five people. That would have given us negotiating power, i.e. 40% of the votes and if we could have convinced the independent director that's 60%. We could have had...

    That figure includes everything going on at the Ricoh not just our matchday Pie money. It's such a crying shame that Sisu didn't choose to buy the Higgs share and as a result we have none of the revenues from the Arena and are stuck in Northampton waiting for Sisu to either build this mythical...

    I thought it was highlighting the fact that we're not in Coventry anymore rather than trying to be funny.

    Preston match thread

    That was a fantastic goal by Moussa - not surprised he said it was his best ever.

    Better off talking to the Coventry Sports Foundation http://www.covsf.com/ as they run the place not the Higgs.

    Abuse at Preston??

    Disgusting if true.

    Okay so theoretically they were prepared to discuss things with Compass but nothing had been confirmed. That makes sense, more sense than leaving an offer for the Higgs half of ACL so late that ACL had already set up this joint venture.

    Preston fans have 'proper wide on' over Murphy celebration..

    Had a kid at my school who was similar, at the end of one term he was verbally laying into another younger student about his team being crap. Youngster twats him in the bullocks with his knee and leaves him lying on the ground in agony. So brainless goes to see the teacher in our next lesson and...

    Food and Beverage revenues

    Well what interested me was Tim quoted a million revenue two seasons later, the last one at HR and if the figure I quoted in the first post was profit then that sort of makes sense. If it was revenue then then the sales were more than seriously crap as you say at 25p per supporter and there was...

    http://www.skybluetrust.co.uk/index.php/component/content/article/227-full-version-of-qaa-to-acl-and-ccfc I assumed from the statement that the word gift implied that ACL had offered actual cash as if it was just cross invoicing then why would they need to get the agreement of Compass? I may be...

    what a difference a week makes

    Moussa said it was the best goal he'd ever scored!

    Food and Beverage revenues

    I said that we took a million in our final year as stated by Tim and wondered how much of that was profit. Are you saying we made 86k revenue at HR in 2003/4 or just backing up the fact that I only mentioned revenue and asked about profit (if so very nice of you, but not really needed)?

    I didn't pick that year it was one that came up when I was looking up stuff on the web to do with the Higgs.

    I've found Tim's actual quote from the CCFC website where Tim Answers "Big Questions" http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/tim-fisher-qa-673570.aspx?pageView=full#anchored So we took a million in our final year at HR wonder how much profit we made on that given the profit figures for 2003/4.
