No PWKH has said that the council can - but haven't yet as there hasn't been a sale - veto it.

Fair enough, I haven't managed to get that yet but it's been a close run thing on occasions.

So can I use that with HMRC in January when I'm running late with my self assesment tax forms?

I seem to recall seeing the ACL accounts on DueDil and I think they made serious losses in their first year at least which might explain why they couldn't afford to drop the rent. However I would be interested to know if there was any official reason we could be given for this.

There is no business case for us moving to Northampton other than to distress ACL/CCC further. I posted this a few days ago and it explains why I think we've moved to Sixfields and why it isn't actually good business.

Now what did the ACL statement say about Joy allegedly threatening them with lawyers say This just adds more weight for me to the credibility of the ACL statement.

Hope you're wrong.

Yeah I can see why a strategy like that is deployed but normally it is for purchases made at the same time. You don't go into Tesco and buy one and then a few days later pick up the free one. If it was get a hospitality ticket and you can bring a mate or the other half for free then you're...

Yes, excepting last season obviously.

True!

One where the freehold is handed over for nowt? ;) Or one where the F&B revenues more than matched the rent I guess.

This is the sliding scale quote I was thinking of and contains at least one of the quotes Godiva posted.

Sadly not, we've been busy (and it's late closing this evening), so I only started my lunch hour at 15:55.

Think Sir Higgs proposed it and when I finish lunch I'll have a look on a proper computer not my tablet.

I've said before that the rent was too high and needed revisiting as a matter of some urgency. Sisu may or may not have attempted to seriously negotiate with ACL before starting the rent boycott, and the Q&A session with the trust lead me to believe that they didn't. What RFC said was that ACL...

Well you did get one thing right, the rent at that level was set before we moved into the Ricoh. However if you actually checked your facts and a 60 second search is all it took me to find this from PWKH You'd see that the club signed off on rent, which is incidentally a tiny part (even if you...

ACL said that allegedly Joy said we'd only go back to the Ricoh if the freehold was sold to her at her price which could only be by the council as ACL can't sell the freehold, they don't own it.

I work in retail and had a look at the financial benefits/costs in retail terms for our move to Northampton. Strangely there is no business case for moving to Sixfields that I can find, it can only cost us support and therefore revenue even before you factor in NOPM. So I think it's unfair to...

Could we all stop calling people attending Sixfields the "S" word and try to at least appear civilised with each other. Having said that it does seem like SISU are desparate not to have low gates and boost the numbers of people visible in the stadium. Obviously just giving the tickets away...

If Noggin is correct (and I did hear the same figure repeated on Sunday), a hell of a lot less than SISU were charged to play at Northampton :facepalm: There were a lot of kids in the posh stand where I was.
