    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Fletcher propaganda. Mutton propaganda. Council propaganda. SISU propaganda. ACL propaganda. Higgs propaganda. Maybe one day we'll find out the truth. Not sure it's as black as white as you make out.

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    By the time Fletcher joined the project the deal for the land - originally set up by Richardson - had been struck. The club had planned to buy 72 acres of land at the old gas works at Foleshill which would cost pounds £20m to buy and decontaminate. They then agreed to sell half of the land to...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Not the first time the Council have helped ACL out: COVENTRY councillors voted last night to give the firm running the Ricoh Arena a pounds 400,000 rent-free period and an overdraft of up to pounds 1million. Backbench Labour Cllr Brian Patton and Independent Cllr Kate Hunter were the only ones...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    DAVID SPICER (Your Say, June 9) asked the question how much of the money, that the previous Labour administration lent to the Arena Company Ltd for the building of the Ricoh Arena, has been paid back. I am pleased to inform him that every penny of the pounds 21 million has been paid back...

    Maybe, but it was still unaffordable. We wouldn't have sold our share at such a knock down price otherwise. I'm sure they only paid £4M, though I obviously may very well be wrong. These are some of the questions that could be answered by PWKH maybe?

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    There's a few things about the Charity that I've never understood. Why did they only pay the club £4M for their share when they were worth around £19M? Was this down to McGinnity's incompetence or could they not believe their luck? Also, considering they put so little into the project -...

    A win would be nice, Jan. It's important to start getting results at home.

    Jpt tickets £5 for home leg.

    A fiver is brilliant, no excuse really. Half of what Crewe are charging for the away leg too. Hopefully, the sensible pricing will make the Ricoh full of City fans who will intimidate the Crewe team and cheer us on to a stonking first leg victory.

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    I think we do. After all weren't the last lot of talks scuppered because KD mentioned who one of them was? People are desperately hanging their hat on GH purely and simply because he happens to support CCFC. His investors aren't going to be bothered who he supports as long as he makes them...

    No he's not the main investor, true. It'll be yet another set of faceless people we will never know. It makes no difference.

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    I keep reading people saying that SISU should go now, etc. I also keep reading that SISU should sell the club to someone else. I never actually read who this new owner would be. We can safely assume that despite all the "me big City fan" rhetoric, Hoffman has disappeared again. And who on...

    The JPT

    Well, they seem fairly confident of a good attendance which is why they've already announced that the whole stadium will be open.

    Not many will agree with me, but :-

    Which is why a JPT final appearance would do us the world of good. It might make the stayaways turn up and the Ricoh. That's why I'm pleased the SF tickets are still pitched at a fiver.

    Yes, makes sense. CCs have to be really careful how they dip into reserves.
