SISU might have been relying on it but it was far from certain. Of course now we'll never know but I could see the likes of the NEC Group (who have been diversifying to operate venues outside of Birmingham in recent years) or someone like AEG taking an interest. Anyone who potentially wanted to...

I would have assumed the primary objective for CCC should be the people they are elected to represent. Maybe you could explain how the manner in which they conducted the sale achieved the best return for the taxpayer. Maybe you can also explain how the loss of the football club is a good thing...

Has he had his name changed to England? Sure the other MEPs take him seriously!

Would also be interested to know why the council had to cover a hole in their finances due to lost rental income? What rent was lost? Certainly not the football clubs as they paid rent to ACL not the council.

Firstly for the stadium to be a burden on the tax payer means that the constant claims from Lucas that ACL was 'washing its face' were false. That can only be because she was either outright lying or had incorrect information supplied by Reeves and West. Either scenario is concerning and should...

Out of interest if Bolton or Bury were to cease to exist and SISU just took advantage of the situation to move us there would you be saying that's business?

Well this thread is thoroughly depressing, we seem to be going backwards. Maybe its just me but I thought one of the few things everyone agreed on, with the exception of the likes of Salop, was that the council selling the stadium to a London rugby club was detrimental to our clubs future.

Where were we playing when the council first approached Wasps? Where were we playing when the stadium was sold to Wasps?

Good idea. Be a lot of people who haven't renewed but have heard good things about the ease of getting there, the atmosphere etc and will be curious to check it out.

How does it put pressure on the council? When it came out that SISU had approached the council and the council hadn't responded there was zero pressure on the council but lots of people posting saying it was a waste of time and SISU will never build a stadium.

It really needs to come from the Trust, hence the numerous threads of here and social media wanting them to pressure all sides. They have the ear of the media and are the self proclaimed biggest fans group. If they started making some noise it becomes much harder for the Telegraph and CWR to...

Great start :banghead:

Duggins slipped up and admitted, after months of denying it, that the club had made serious enquires. The council, as far as we are aware, still haven't responded to those enquiries. When this came out it was ignored by the Telegraph, CWR and the Trust.

To be fair the council kept insisting there had been no enquiries about land from the club until Duggins tied himself up in knots and accidentally revealed there had been. Odd response for him to say he is not aware of any talks as the last update we had on the issue was that the club was still...

Still amazes me that the likes of CWR and the Telegraph just passively accept Duggins being caught out or Wasps putting unreasonable demands in place. Surely the minimum we should expect is them to be questioned on it. Add in a trust that seems terrified to say a bad word about either and its...

Not too sure what you’re expecting the club to say. Boddy said a week ago he’s maintaining dialogue with Stuart Cain but the reality is your first two points require a third party the club don’t control to respond, Wasps and CCC respectively. Your first point requires Wasps to change their...

The key question would be have they had the loss of event days and customers offset by a reduction in rent. Of course to know that we would need to know the figure being talked about with us still there. Be interesting to know if there’s an increase if we come back. Could turn out to be a...

You could be on to something

FFS, twitter put that on my feed as a featured news story with that as the lead and then peoples responses to it.

Knowing the rules would put them at a higher standard than most officials we get.
