You're winding me up now? You really have been drinking I think. You do get the distinction between ACL and the council? I am not saying they (that's ACL) 'pocketed' the naming rights money, I am saying it is not documented as being used for the build costs. That money would have gone into...

What £20 million? There was a £21 million mortgage. ACL had to pay that back, and they did, making payments to the bank from operating revenues, how is that so hard to understand? By the time CCC paid off that mortgage earlier this year, it cost them £14 million (ipso facto - a good deal of...

Things must be bad.

And you reached that conclusion from the oxymoron comment? I don't support SISU, but I do despise the elected representatives who have acted so shamefully during this whole mess - guilty as charged for that.

That did occur to me actually. Seems the most likely site too all things considered.

Have you been drinking tonight? What are you talking about? You have been proven wrong time and again in this thread, but still you persist, so I admire you for that. What is your point? Are you trying to say that ACL are still profitable or not profitable? Are you saying they need the...

Other than being £0.9 million out on the overspend, I'm not sure what it is you think you are correcting me on?

Me no understand.

Yes, operating revenues. ACL have not defaulted on any of their repayments to the bank or (as far as we know) to the council. So it is a fair assumption that ACL have been repaying the loan from operating revenues. But keep digging that hole if you wish. If they are operating at a loss, that...

Point 1 is a fair assumption, as is point 7. Not sure about the rest, and I doubt she believes a local newspaper interview will have any influence on a judge (point 4). As for point 3, they have tried to pin the blame on ACL from day 1, so I doubt that was a motivation for the interview. Just...

We were talking about funding sources for the build cost - you brought it up. The council's contribution (from its own coffers) was £12 million. The rest was borrowed, and has been paid off from operating revenues, and continues to be, albeit with payments now going direct to the council. You...

Allegedly proven, isn't that an oxymoron?

So, she says nothing for 6 years and people complain. She speaks once and she is a publicity whore? The buy-out talks in 2012 were done in private and that didn't exactly work out for them. I understand people who criticise what she said, but not the fact she said it (that's a general point...

They're all too busy swinging from the monkey bars and hurling shit at onlookers.

Fair enough, I suspected that was the case.

If 2 out of 9 are correct you'll be doing well.

Do you stand at different points on the hill? Genuine question, because it didn't look more than a handful last time.

Don't worry, there aren't enough syllables. Not that it has stopped us before. I especially liked how we used to sing Di-on Dion Dub-a-lin. Genius.

The council made an equity investment of £10 million, plus a further £2 million later one. The £21m was borrowed by ACL. I'm not sure where the confusion is?

Out of interest, would a stadium built at the point marked on the map really signal the end of CCFC? Are we all that hung up by imaginary lines? An outsider not overly concerned with administrative boundaries in the greater Coventry region would just see it as a ground on the edge of Coventry...
