Wouldn't it be a genuinely "rent and matchday costs free" offer if there was no charge for the under 5000 crowds, but then the KCIC group picked up all the costs and rent for any crowds over 5000? Got a feeling that this offer as it stands is the wriong way round?

Makes you wonder ACL didn't let the club stay on a three year contract "whilst the new stadium was being built" doesn't it really? Three years guaranteed, and with no real likelihood of a new stadium being built would more than likely have been there in perpeptuity.

To be fair, nothing has ever stuck to either of them.

It'll be Teflon.

Wash your mouth out!

Those car boots make more money than i thought! That'll be Teflon Joe then.

To be fair, the articles from 1999, all seemed to be saying that "work will start in the next few weeks/months" on decontamination, obviously never started at all. Forgot about this article by Neville Hadsley from WSC about the whole fiasco, probably worth a thread on it's own to be fair...

Why sign Heads of Terms if you're immediately going to do something different? Not shaking anybodys hands again just in case i end up married to them as it's binding or something.

Oh Christ, I'd have been around Southam around that time. Though never a Young Farmer, tory cunts.

Well you get what you pay for, expect the Higgs barrister did it for nothing so he wouldn't rip off a children's charity.

It's strange how Heads of Terms being agreed(and the day after the council working in total opposite to them) can be said all the time to be not legally binding, yet a handshake is?

And again nobody seems to know when exactly work started and when it totally fell apart and the council took over, and how much, if any money was properly put into it by the club. Did the club start it and then been able to pay any bills so the council stepped in? If they did start it and...

I just don't understand some of the timescales, work started on the decontamination back in 1999, something that Richardson said would cost the club £18million at the time. When exactly did work start on the stadium, and when did the council take over the project? Really can't remember, but if...

Actual spend by club or council very little then.

Sure i heard somewhere that Richardson made alot of money out the land for himself by selling it before actually owning it or something? Didn't the club pay for the decontamination of the Gas works land though? Sure we paid for that, but was all very murky.

Really liked Utopia, glad it got a second series. When is the second series of The Returned coming to screen? Loved that, though have a "Lost" fear that they might not really have an ending and drag it out for a few series.

Was he suggesting that club owned the area that the ground and Tesco's is on then?

The most puzzling people I find on here are those who constantly go on about how well ACL are doing and don't need the club anyway. You know the ones, those that seem to spend an inordinate amount of time counting how many cars are in the Ricoh car park whilst they're passing. You'd almost...

Can't stand any of that, from either side. When ML brought up the council loan to ACL as instead of supporting social services and chaildcare etc I just told him it was emotive bollocks and he backed down and apologised on that one.

We no longer had sole rights, remember there being a quote from the Higgs side from the Higgs case to Sisu saying something like "The period of exclusivity is now finished and we are now open to discussions with other interested parties to purchase the Higgs share", not exact, but was around...
