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...

I concede the final point. Ultimately, it isn't her money she is playing with.

Am I the only one who started looking for triangular bits of land on the edge of Coventry after reading that? I gave up when I realised you can see triangles everywhere if you look for them. It's a bit like illuminati symbolism - connect 3 points with straight lines and hey presto! Perhaps...

'Not bad' is a fair description of what's happened on this pitch this season and last is it not? Not great, but not bad given the horrendous start last season.

If the prospect of a rental arrangement at the Ricoh really is dead, then it will be interesting to see how some react. Given that we all want a return to Coventry (and most would accept Warwick Uni in principle - this is just an example), what motivation would city fans have in objecting to...

You're not listening. The sale of catering rights were not used for build costs, but what ACL chose to spend that money on I don't know. Yes, we know no dividends have been paid, but that is because the council chose not to take any. Fine. But then people are saying ACL can survive without...

Of course it is, it's PR. That's the whole point. And I hardly think she 'used' him - she could quite easily have said all that on a statement published on the club website. What this interview says to me is that nopm has little chance of succeeding. Did she come across as the sort of person...

I can't recall the exact breakdown, although there was a document flying around here at some point that had it all itemised. The total contribution from the Tesco deal amounted to £60 million, there were ERDF grants, AWM grants, £6 million from Isle of Capri, £10 million from the council (plus...

I hate you Butler...

I was left a little cold by the interview. Lot's of stuff I expected, and lots I agreed with, but I was surprised at the language used in reference to the council. No sign of an olive branch, not even an olive. We are not going back to the Ricoh, that much is clear.

Warwickshire CC have no planning powers. It says that clearly on the link you posted: "This website only contains details of Minerals and Waste applications made to Warwickshire County Council, and the County Council’s own applications. For other types of planning applications such...

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. Catering rights and naming rights revenues were not included in the funding sources for £120 million build costs (iirc) - those revenues went direct to ACL. The council did stump up £12 million, that is undeniable, so they made it happen in that sense. But...

Since when has the process of discussing a possible planning application involved the local authority telling the applicant to 'get lost'? They are not allowed to prejudice any application before it's submitted, only offer practical advice. We're not living in fucking Narnia. Given that the...

Exactly, there is absolutely no reason why any local authority would have to disclose the details of informal talks because of a FOIA request.

Who said it was simple? It's a completely redundant question given that you know the answer. Most of the funding was already in place, there was a shortfall and the council bridged that with a bank loan, a loan the club were never going to get. I notice you neglected to address the second...

"Stay firm ACL". Just about sums up the warped agenda of the majority of our fans.
