I had a bit of a shock when I got my phone bill that month. £60 on getting through to the ticket offices answer phone message!

So, for example, if we owned our own stadium we'd have to pay for the car parking spaces required for media and players? And we'd have to pay for hospitality catering at full market price and based on a sell out no matter how many were sold?

The Skydome car park is appallingly badly run. The card payment on the ticket machines hasn't worked for months, the exit barriers regularly breakdown and the entrance is too narrow so people regularly scratch their cars getting in.

Spot on stupot. Everything that SISU had done, no matter how bad, was reversible to that point. New owners could have come in and there could have been a brighter future. Now we either have the next 250 years making do with what scraps Wasps will throw our way or someone has to stump up millions...

Indeed there isn't but there is far more chance of SISU leaving if CCFC owning the Ricoh once again becomes a possibility.

With Wasps, and in particular their fans, education would be the first thing. Obviously its a complex situation but if it could be condensed as much as possible into a couple of paragraphs, concentrating on Wasps involvement, and flyers given out to their fans that would be a good start. The...

Wonder what the exact phrasing of the question was that allows CCC to answer no when they clearly have knowledge of the clubs desire to move to an expanded Butts?

He's chucked in a few FOIs, hardly what you'd call investigative journalism. That's not his Facebook, this is his: https://www.facebook.com/TheSimonGilbert/?fref=ts Of course they do. Where are the questions of the council who promised the club wouldn't be negatively impacted by the arrival of...

Anyone who went down to Holbrooks Park and marched got an accurate figure for attendance. CWR had someone on the march reporting live who said about 300 but the Telegraph has it as 2,500.

But that protest was designed to have a visual impact and stop the game. A boycott is designed to have the ground as empty as possible. You would need to have a number significantly down on the usual attendance to claim it as a success.

Interesting snippet from twitter (covpics, is that deano?).

You're looking at very different things there. If you look at the original build cost then, from a council perspective, they put in £10m. If you purchased the bricks and mortar for £60m you'd get nothing as ACL would still be in place. Purchasing ACL for £6m with a £14m loan could be argued...

It wasn't withdrawn was it? His budget relied on increased attendances but the reality was attendances dropped leaving a hole in the budget.

It wouldn't have been anyone at SISU who said lets buy any football club, let alone ours. Ray Ranson presented an investment opportunity. It wasn't specific to us as he'd already been looking at other clubs. In fact being rejected by other clubs could be why he didn't think twice about some of...

There's an article up now about how the fans are more united than ever. a) that's clearly not true, b) its in part not true due to the CT trying to whip everyone up into a frenzy.

2-0, Bigi and Jones both celebrating their birthdays with goals.

What is going on with the names parents give their kids???

Red Bull do a complete rebrand, we'd play in their colours for example. That would limit the teams who would consider it. My initial response would be no as we're sky blue but I guess it would only be a darker shade of blue. Don't think the FL would allow them to change the name of the team or...
