My problem with that is I can no longer support a SISU-owned CCFC. Regardless of where they play their football. They have stolen the heart of the club and made us a laughing stock, I see the 1883 project as a way to reclaim our club for the fans. I was against the idea of a phoenix club for a...

But doesn't there have to be a gap in the league structure in order for a new team to be slotted in? Surely in the Halifax scenario it was the demise of the original team that created a gap, presumably other teams lower down the pyramid were then shuffled up to fill the gap leaving a space in...

Bothroyd? Van Aarnholt?

That would be the only way it might work, if ACL absorbed the bulk of the costs but they would have to be certain it could succeed.

There all sorts of costs your not considering, employing stewards, policing, ground staff, some form of catering contract/staff, maintenance and repairs etc. Plus the set up costs of a new team are huge, even at a low level. You have to have somewhere to train, equipment, kits. What happens if...

Thats my point though, we likely would get a few thousand every week, maybe even 5 or 6 thousand if we were lucky, but on those kinds of numbers and given the ceiling on what you could charge for games in that sort of league then it just wouldn't generate enough cash to be able to cover costs at...

Of course! I scare myself with how thick I can be at times..........

I've said it before but i'll say it again. There is something more to SISU's ownership of the club than meets the eye. No doubt they would have liked to have bought the Ricoh on the cheap and then sold the club and stadium combined for a tidy profit but after all this time and all the money they...

Pardon me for being thick but whats FPA?

I was initially against the idea of a new club but as the SISU-Circus carries on at pace I am beginning to think that it may be the only realistic option. I can't see how a new club starting at the bottom of the pyramid would be able to play at the Ricoh though, the costs of maintaining and...

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11734/8850170/transfer-news-one-direction-singer-louis-tomlinson-has-signed-for-doncaster Utterly bizarre! I presume just a publicity stunt but still very odd.........

Can't see me going to any more home games whilst SISU remain. If the council/higgs sell the Ricoh and SISU sell the club and both are united as one entity under new ownership then I might consider coming back. Or if the whole thing folds and a genuine Phoenix club emerges then perhaps. The whole...

I agree that is what needs to happen for the greater good of the club and it is only then that SISU will finally sell up and f*ck off. However, I don't have faith that the council/ACL will swallow their pride and bruised egos and allow it to happen.

Maybe once upon a time, I think now though there is too much animosity between the parties to come to an arrangement. Am I sounding any less naive now? :D

Sadly, I concur.

Once SISU have control of it, they will sell the club and stadium combined

Match day revenue streams yes, but ALL combined revenue streams are a lot more with the potential to expand them much further. That's what SISU want, to control every aspect of the stadium, not just matchdays. This has never been simply about the rent. As has been said above, FFP works on turn...

The cost of the rent is immaterial though, it makes no difference really if its £150k or £1.5 million - SISU are only interested if they can buy the stadium and get their hands on all income streams.

Absolute crap............... exasperating!

I feel the same, I cant see me going to see SISU FC at the new plastic stadium. Too much damage done. The window of opportunity to re-engage the fan base is rapidly shrinking.
