    We'll Come Back To The Ricoh...

    No, that was an agreement bewteen SISU and ACL which both sides signed up to, it was sensible, and it concerned part ownership of ACL, and not the Ricoh. Ownership of the freehold is clearly worth a lot more. Will they offer below market value? Almost certainly, but it doesn't mean it will be...

    We'll Come Back To The Ricoh...

    Does that mean Grimsby and Manchester United should change their names then? Just over the boundary but in the Coventry conurbation is fine by me - I'm not so anal that I get all precious about an imaginary line drawn by a civil servant. Boundaries change anyway. Start putting miles of...

    We'll Come Back To The Ricoh...

    Given all that has happened, I'd be surprised if she hasn't had death threats. Still, that's just a distraction. I agree with OSB, the only viable way forward (for them) is to get on and build the stadium. So do it then, although I don't agree it need be all that far outside the city...

    Ouch, £39 a game? You do wonder how they can be so much in debt with the crowds they get and the prices they charge.

    Speak for yourself. Here in up-market Whitmore Park some of us even have jobs, and we actually own two Nigella cook books. My house is like a middle class theme park.

    Given that SISU threw their toys out of the cot because their attempts to buy 50% of the management company were scuppered at the eleventh hour, how does that tally with the 'land grab' statement? They were, evidently, more than happy for the council to retain ownership of the freehold (at that...

    I talked to B.C.F.A re. phoenix club.

    This must be a candidate for the random thread-bump hall of fame. Good work.

    guess the date

    I want to hear more from King of the Lesbians. Les Reid has interviewed the wrong person. Unless?

    Is SISU preparing to sell Otium ?

    Are we actually discussing this? There is more chance of the Irish building a moon base.

    Les Reid Exclusive INterview with Seppalla....

    Yup, all the more reason why we should all be pleased that she has broken her silence. But like I say, some of the natives aren't happy. I might order in some popcorn.

    Les Reid Exclusive INterview with Seppalla....

    I get the feeling some people are very angry about this news. They don't want to hear JS speak, they would rather she remained a distant and mysterious pantomime villain - a faceless hate figure. The moment she comes out of the shadows, speaks or (heaven forbid) is photographed, it becomes...

    I am not comparing our situation directly with those examples (in respect of how we have got to this point), I was merely saying that the exile didn't result in the lost generation people are already saying has happened here after a few weeks. Brighton played in from of similar gates at...

    The PR game

    What proof? What do you want me to do exactly? I am merely repeating what has been claimed by one side in the dispute, citing the complete lack of a denial by the other side (who have never been slow to issue denials) as evidence that (on this specific issue at least), TF is probably telling...

    The PR game

    Why have you quoted my response here, which was specifically about the 340 days a year when the football club effectively don't exist. But if you want to talk about all those lost matchday revenues too, go ahead (but I'll allow you to deduct 50% for parking and a bit of F&B money too if you...

    The PR game

    ..or to be fair, have ACL ever proven that famous 'handshake'. Which of course can't be proved, unless it was filmed, which I suspect it wasn't. The document can be produced (if it exists), and I suspect it will be if it's existence is ever denied (which is won't be).

    The PR game

    Cool. Now you can factor is all the lost revenues that arise from not earning a penny from the rented stadium 340 days a year over 40 years.

    The PR game

    I used the phrase 'pay the mortgage off in full' - I was paraphrasing, whereas TF used the terms 'buy out the ACL debt' and 'leave ACL debt free'. I am aware that the intention was to present ACL as distressed in order that YB would 'restructure' - but ACL (the accusation goes) were entirely...
