It was tied to the capacity of Maine Road. Basically along the lines that Man City only benefitted if more people turned up than they could fit in before. Before it was renegotiated weren't they paying a certain amount per ticket sold over 36K?

We went all through this a few months back if someone can dig out the thread. KMPG had something like 7 serious bids. The known bidders were Manhattan, Sharpiro and SISU. All three met with the council. Public statements were made deriding Manhatten and Sharprio, bizarrely the statements...

Their chairman is a bit of a nutter, could be a falling out.

CSF were involved in the last audit and know exactly what facilities the club use. The framework for the EPPP with all the requirements in is also freely available online. Even if we can't continue with all of the facilities we have now CSF can just say you currently have this, you can now have...

I keep reiterating it because its an incredibly easy thing to get done. The trust have been told, just type up a press release, get CSF and Wasps to confirm it is accurate, open letter in the CT and it can be crossed off the list and we move on to the next obstacle Anderson puts in the way. If...

That's one of the saddest things in this whole mess.

If you go further back there were also conditions when Higgs was first built as municipal land was used. Something about the facilities having to remain available to the community. Wasps plans will mean a reduction in both the facilities available and the hours they are available for. There...

At least then everyone would know exactly what was needed in addition to Higgs. CSF & Wasps have told the trust, why is so difficult for them to tell CA?

Win win as far as I can see. There was also talk of Wasps buying the ST land next to Higgs, that all went very quiet.

People are struggling. This government have overseen a huge transfer of wealth. Those at the top are getting richer faster while everyone else is left to fight over scraps. Wages are stagnant, food bank usage is at record levels, the slowest economic recovery since records began. Its not...

You could have stopped there. It is the easiest thing, especially as they have already told the trust. That's the way forward for me. Get CSF to put it in writing and call Anderson's bluff.

Where would they build? Even if the club bought back the Connexion they'd only get one more pitch in. They can't build out from the existing site so it would need another site in Ryton. Is there anything big enough that's not already taken or green belt? We should explore all options of course...

The problem is that the requirements for an academy, even if you accept there is a degree of flexibility, mean we have a lot less room to manoeuvre than Wasps who can do pretty much what they like. What I don't understand with Broad Street is why they don't just make that their permanent home...

Absolutely this. I don't think Corbyn will be PM as it would need a virtually unprecedented swing, which given the way the media treats him is virtually impossible. What is possible is a change in politics. Corbyn takes Labour back to the left, we now have May and a cabinet which is further to...

It wouldn't be spin unless it was vague. Say we can offer x, y & z to the club moving forward from when the current deal ends. Make it very simple and very clear.

Well its certainly an area that needs improvement so lets hope he's good at his job!

On the bright side as CSF managed to supply all the details requested by Anderson to the Trust there is no reason they can't be put in a letter and sent to him. Make it an open letter in the Telegraph. Its time to call his bluff.

Does anyone know when they're sending season tickets out. Would have thought someone would mention it by now :D

you get money from the PL apart from parachute payment, we get something like £400K every year. £12m does seem high without any parachute payments though.
