    99% that's Mrs PWKH (although whether she was at the time I don't know) who is a Higgs you mean, as PWKH said on here he married into the family.

    I think it was more about decision making than knowledge. My work terms and conditions state that I may not work for another business in competition with ours and for one connected to ours (e.g. a supplier) not without approval and may not pass on any info or make decisions on anything to do...

    Like most things involving the club we probably didn't have the money.

    I thought that I read a post from someone (not necessarily on here might have been on GMK or somewhere else) years ago complaining that he was recusing (?) himself from meetings where the Arena was being discussed and something about this bugged the poster . Think it's standard practice in the...

    Did the Higgs have much of a choice though? As was stated in the article the Higgs had to try and recover the money because they're a charity. Sisu didn't have to counter sue but did so anyway despite it being a PR own goal, they could have just defended the original case. When the Higgs bought...

    Food and Beverage revenues

    I thought ACL did offer their share of the matchday F&B plus cross invoicing in one offer. Also Isn't the joint venture between ACL and Compass for running the entire venue 7 days a week not just the matchday F&B?

    How did it work at HR, was it the same card system as at the Ricoh?

    Food and Beverage revenues

    Sorry you've lost me, I didn't ask a question that I would have expected to be answered with "Why". I was trying to find the figure Tim quoted about revenues which from memory seems to be at odds with that figure and was hoping someone could remember. My old man was a VP* so I rarely saw the...

    That sounds bad - hope the half time talk puts a rocket up them.

    Food and Beverage revenues

    Can anyone remember what SISU/Tim said about F&B revenue at Highfield Road? I ask because I found a figure from 2003/4 that isn't that massive. http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/sky_blues_announce_loss_185240/index.shtml

    Yeah I know that the pictures were just Brentford recoloured, I was hoping to be able to compare the plans as well ;)

    Disheartening Sky Blue's Story On The Way..

    Didn't some members of the previous board lose vast amounts of money when Sisu came in? Not saying they were all saints, but Sisu had the opportunity buy half of ACL and apparently (investors) money to do so.

    Are the plans for the Brentford one available for viewing online anywhere for comparison - if we ever see any plans that is.

    Disheartening Sky Blue's Story On The Way..

    Really? Yes we nearly went bust but there were hardly Sisu. Not sure they moved us to substantially worse facilities over 30 miles outside of our city. Also previously we were a limited company and had fans as shareholders- also known as owners. Plus Sir Higgs who was obviously a massive...

    The Higgs Share..

    Goalpost moving and legal stuff appears to be the Sisu sport because football certainly isn't.

    Disheartening Sky Blue's Story On The Way..

    Did the Higgs have much of a choice though? When they bought the share from the club Sisu weren't on the horizon then. The idea as I understand it was that the Club would buy back the share ASAP and be partners in the Arena. There was a formula put in place so that the club could buy back the...

    New shirt sponsor unveiled this afternoon

    More likely to have been announced today to try and help bury the story from yesterday.
