    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    And Ipswich play at the Ricoh do they? Payments are still being made for the completion of Portman Road are they? If you bother to take a look at the last offer ACL made which SISU rejected, our yearly rent would have been £485k which is a drop of about 63% (rounding up). This was the lowest...

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    Okay so surprisingly Hull City FC are owned by another very rich bloke a Mr Allam who has had Mr Millibean to a match with him at the KC Stadium. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2116495/A-100-000-gift-Eds-ride-tycoons-Rolls-The-real-story-Labour-leader-NHS-rally-was.html His beef is not...

    I'll need to see what evidence he has for the current claims first. Hull City next, although I do need to get some sleep at some point.

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    Oh boy could I have saved myself a lot of work, thanks for posting that. I wouldn't be surprised about the costs of the running the Keepmoat and would love to know the answer. I'm not sure I think Rovers deliberately put them over a barrel, but that events conspired against the council which...

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    Okay so we move on to Ipswich and their rent dispute, they were paying just £15k before the dispute kicked off. This was re-assessed (by an independent assessor) to circa £111,500 and backdated to 2004 which is I believe what the club objected to and then refused to pay the backdated rent. There...

    Yes you're correct I was responding to someone else who mentioned the Doncaster stadium. Well yes actually I do now have the full picture which you can read above in my earlier post. Can you please provide evidence to back your claims regarding Doncaster Rovers and the Keepmoat stadium.

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    I've found out it was £1m apparently in 2011 which they were paying. Then they did as you say have a drop but having read the council scrutiny document I don't think this was due to determined efforts to move elsewhere. From page 6 of that report I can't find anything on the web that points...

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    Sadly it was a one letter answer kind of question it was either 'A' or 'B' I was after. So as answering that is clearly not going to happen, do you know what rent were the council asking for before Rovers took on the stadium management?

    So you can't answer the question or do you not understand it? I'll try and make it a bit simpler for you but this may take a few minutes, sorry.

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    Right, so in that case it shouldn't be too hard to just answer the question, Scenario A or Scenario B.

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    And I'll ask you here again why when you were so keen to hold Doncaster up as a shining beacon in the other thread can you not choose between A or B?

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    And we still don't really know 100% for sure who has the Golden Share. The league seem to think it's CCFC Ltd who do and from my limited understanding, that SISU couldn't have transferred it without their say so. Which company fielded a team on Friday and who is fielding one tomorrow CCFC Ltd...

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    I don't work for ACL I work in a shop, I'd rather have lost the points now than think we've gone up and then have it snatched from us. And I'll ask you in this thread why when you were so keen to hold Doncaster up as a shining beacon can you not choose between A or B?

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    So ACL get a court date after the end of the same and then SISU decide to do the same thing then as they did now, put Ltd into admin. The Football League decide that we did this to stay in the playoffs and punish us by docking us more points than we've currently lost or keeping us down if we had...

    Seriously Grendel which one would you pick A or B?

    thoughts on any possible stadium deal

    <br /> <br /> I've now looked this up in a bit more detail and there is a very big difference between Doncaster Rovers and ourselves. You're right about at least one thing however there is a figure of £300,000 that comes into play. So the Keepmoat stadium was built as a community stadium and...

    thoughts on any possible stadium deal

    Only remember what I was told at Bell Vue when watching a match there. That there was an arson attempt by some bloke called Richardson (no relation to ours) who I think was chairman*. He went to jail for that and Mr Ryan and co moved in to own/run the club, they evidently built a new stadium...
