The problem is if ACL manage to swim without us (assuming Sixfields happens) and then use the pitch area for something or someone else then SISU will actually have to build a stadium if we are ever to return to Coventry. I would rate the chances of a new stadium being built as being about as...

I'm interested in the fact that the CVA has suddenly become the focus of the attention of Tim and Sisu and appears to have brought a return to the negotiating table. Having been told almost literally by Tim that it's Sixfields or bust why the sudden about face? Did they think that by offering...

I find it interesting that they are so keen for ACL to agree to the CVA, could it be that if they don't sign it that there would be unwanted consequences for SISU. I mean next season is probably a write off given Tim has stated that we're not going back to the Ricoh and it's Sixfields here we...

If we have to starve them out then so be it, they must leave.

I think and most people agree that the club needs to own ACL and their long lease which could be renegotiated to be extended at the purchase for another 50 years etc. AS I've discovered renting my flat if you sign up for a long lease you generally get a better deal so the lease could drop to say...

No no it went on the rent....oh wait........:facepalm:

Wait a minute both stadiums have conference facilities http://www.liberty-stadium.com/events_venue.php and have held concerts http://www.liberty-stadium.com/gallery.php . Swansea despite all the Premiership TV money etc. coming in now still don't pay a serious rent and yet the way the Liberty...

I think GR did approach ACL either PWKH, Tim, or the Trust Q&A said it, but then he rejected the sliding scale rent Sir Higgs proposed which might well have been better for us.

And is the Ricoh financial situation considered unsustainable by their auditors? Don't believe so but happy to be proved wrong.

Because I can't believe that they have always done what is best for the club, was selling Fox and Dann the best thing to do? Was the boycott rather than negotiate the best thing to do? Is moving us to Northampton and buggering us under FFP rules the best thing to do? Name something positive...

The Welsh Audit Office commissioned a report on The Liberty Stadium. The stadium finances have come under scrutiny and a PWC report for the Welsh Audit Office in 2011 (which I can't find online) stated that the way it is financed is unsustainable...

There is no evidence whatsoever that the owners have the club's best interests at heart either, moving to Sixfields being a case in point.

I thought their initial negotiations with ACL where they didn't talk to ACL and just boycotted the rent was brilliant(ly stupid).

Roll on the judicial review we'll see if councils can loan money to companies they are part owners in and who is to blame for what in all this mess.

Thanks for the offer anyway.

If they can announce this screening early enough I might be able to get the day off to come up to Cov. I'm pushing it a bit though as I haven't earned all the holiday time I'm taking later in the year so nothing is guaranteed, wonder if anyone can swap days.

Didn't they have less than 16 players though which meant they couldn't seriously compete as they could get a few injuries and be unable to field a team - thus be unable to fulfill fixtures (why does that phrase seem to keep coming up).

Despite my initial enthusiasm I've actually got to work on Thursday which is a bugger and I can't get the time off either as it's late closing on Thursdays and my request would have been too late anyway apparently:(

Talking of the council, I'm still waiting to hear how it is illegal for Cov City Council to loan their stadium of which they are a part owner money but it is fine for Swansea City Council to loan their stadium of which they are a part owner money. To recap you said you were in the legal...

Forget the Ricoh, how are we going to get any revenue at Sixfields? Ignoring the NOPM campaign for a moment, there is a lower capacity stadium waiting for us with no guarantees that we're going to get any of the F&B revenue/car parking/pitchside advertising. We've got lower ticket prices but...
