    Shocking defending for the goal. Our defence isn't looking as good as it's supposed to be so far

    Looks like Lincoln aren't going to sit back which should suit us.

    And the reason they'd only deal with SISU was that all the other interested parties wanted ownership of the ground as they'd identified renting as an issue.

    Virtually everyone agrees the rent was unsustainable and ACL refused to negotiate so what was the better way forward? Keep paying for the next 50 years until it was time for a new agreement? Even when the lease was broken the long term damage to the club should have been minimal. As is...

    Nope, took about 30 seconds on Google. If I can find thousands of free tickets so quickly there must be a hell of a lot being dished out.

    Given they were conditions of the sale I would expect them to be detailed in a legally binding contract stating exactly what the requirements are but as this is CCC they were probably accepted a day out at the rugby and didn't bother doing anything to ensure the conditions were actually met or...

    Its a franchise, ACL pay Hilton is the same way you'd pay McDonalds if you wanted to open a branch.

    Thats going well then. No development around the Ricoh, refusing to talk to the club about staying and went back on their promise not to have games the same time as CRFC.

    Butts Park ruled out

    He seems to always choose his words very carefully. This is the first time I've heard him mention the council as a reason for not working with the club. "We rely on a good relationship with Coventry City Council and are talking to them about how to develop this ground. But how can we do that...

    Butts Park ruled out

    Reads to me like someone at the council has applied some pressure and said they will make life difficult if CCFC are associated with the project. Certainly wouldn't be the first time that has happened and fits in with the pattern of the council trying to block any move as soon as it was known...

    You also have to factor in that they borrowed money to make the first few interest payments on the bonds so on top of turning round that loss they also need to find the money to make the interest payments. That's a hell of a lot of extra business to bring in when we were repeatedly told that...

    Its simple for me. Everything SISU did, as bad as they have been, could be undone with new owners up until the point Wasps turned up. The sale of ACL to Wasps massively decreased the chance of us getting new owners anytime soon and massively decreased the chance of us being a sustainable club...

    Overall would have to say we don't look too good this year when in the past we have been pretty comparable to other clubs. Only 6 clubs have their cheapest ST at the same price or higher than us. Although another 10 are within £30. 11 clubs most expensive ST is cheaper than ours. Our cheapest...

    Suspect we are well past that point. More likely a 'get what you can' situation now. However while the club runs at break even there's no incentive for her to sell without some sort of return.
