    Sky Blue Trust Meeting At Ricoh On Saturday

    All the above says to me that the SBTrust is right prepare options in whatever way they can......... they might not be able to do anything, they might get moved to one side should a new owner come in, they might get the fans better represented at CCFC, they might become involved in the ownership...

    Sky Blue Trust Meeting At Ricoh On Saturday

    you are not going to get that information Michael......... the latest "information" was at the fans forum and to be honest you could drive a coach and horses through what was said. most accurate is the 2011 accounts for the group (the debt shown in CCFC is misleading and not what is owed to...

    Sky Blue Trust Meeting At Ricoh On Saturday

    Certainly sounds like there is a hardening of positions from the ACL viewpoint. The matter has to be resolved, and contrary to what Prof Beech on CWR said i can see things going to court. For one thing how does ACL show they mean business and force CCFC to settle this matter if they dont. The...

    Sky Blue Trust Meeting At Ricoh On Saturday

    not right cjp .......... it is no different to the loans that SISU discounted when they took over. No one is ever going to come in and take over the full debt - which is SISU's whole problem. A buyer would purchase the shares and what they represent and negotiate with the creditors to discount...

    Sky Blue Trust Meeting At Ricoh On Saturday

    can we get something straight about the rent There is a valid lease given to CCFC by ACL which has never been challenged in court or by CCFC/SISU. That sets the rent. CCFC might not like £1.2m but no one likes paying rent, but they have never challenged it formally..... not sure there are any...

    I agree with that DTD. People only have to look back at when SISU came in and the 35m of debts they got written off before taking over

    Sky Blue Trust Meeting At Ricoh On Saturday

    What do we buy the ground with ? what about the costs attributable to the extra income ? CCFC wont run the catering they will buy it in? They cant afford the freehold ? the long lease would cost 20m in total ........ what about the interest on that and capital repayments. It wont leave money for...

    Sky Blue Trust Meeting At Ricoh On Saturday

    Been through some this a few times before. So will keep it brief The council own the freehold they have given a long lease to ACL to run the stadium, ACL owned equally by Council and Charity through shell companies CCFC (not SISU) had an option to purchase the 50% shares of charity in ACL...

    Mark robins man management.

    I think aside from MR having decent management experience and clear thought processes in the first place he has set standards and the players are clear in knowing what he expects. First off he has high personal standards that he maintains (setting an example), then he has set standards for...

    Sky Blue Trust Meeting At Ricoh On Saturday

    Sorry chap but there is so much wrong with that statement that i dont where to start. Purchase a share of the stadium? ............ a share of the stadium isnt up for sale, only 50% of ACL but that isnt up for sale as such More capital to pay rent ? .......... not sure i know what you...

    Sky Blue Trust Meeting At Ricoh On Saturday

    I think it is a good thing that the Trust is doing contingency planning, certainly dont want to wait for it all to go tits up before anyone does a little initial planning. The more information the Trust and fans can gather the better...... it may never have to be used but .......... So ok they...
