Amazing isn't it, Lord? If I was one of those made redundant then I would be pretty pissed off tonight. Same goes for all those services axed. Always shows that the Council can find the money when they want it. Like WCC turning off street lights to save £500K a year. They had to spend three...

They've been paying the mortgage off quite easily with the £9M they've taken off us so far though, haven't they?

I'm happier with Crewe than with Bradford, I must say.

They've done pretty well for the last eight years of "good will" though, haven't they? Kerchhiinnnggg.

Nah, don't believe that. The Ricoh without Coventry City is unthinkable. Both sides know that.

Which ever way you try and spin, it's the same difference. ACL need the club as much as the club need the stadium.

I don't believe for one minute that CCFC only account for 20% of ACL's income. If that was the case then we wouldn't be where we are today.

No, obviously not. I was being flippant. There are no other options for a football stadium. Today;s action has shown that we are the stadium's cash cow.

Ha ha! "Explore other options"?! I'd like to see them try! :D

Now this I agree on. There seem to be more and more fans who are supporting their ACL rather than their football club.

Obviously there was a danger that ACL could go under without the football club's rental payments, which is why the Council have saved them and thrown them a financial lifeline. If there were other income streams available to cover them then they would have been left to fend for themselves. The...

I agree with that. Considering that public finances are being squeezed more and more by that bastard Pickles, it's quite staggering that they can find £14M to basically save face. All this "protecting a local asset" is nonsense. They are protecting themselves. What asset is a football...

Today's action certainly debunks the theory that ACL can manage without the football club. It's patently obvious that they can't which is why the Council thought it was worth £14M of tax payers to shore up ACL.

No, I'm not saying I'm a Mr Clean and if the copper wasn't wearing his number then fair enough. However, I don't think it's all one-way and as black and white as "the police are picking on us", etc.

A blinder? Well, it certainly protects ACL. It's all very well saying to SISU "OK, now pay up". What if they can't afford to? What if the cupboard is bare? The club will have to be liquidated and then everyone loses.

Why? I've been going to football matches for forty years. Never been arrested or spoken to by a policeman or steward. It's OK blaming the police but something has to pique their interest in an individual in the first place.

I'm glad you mentioned them putting in a huge amount. They have, many don't believe it for some reason.

Generous? :confused:

Yes, it's a weird one If SISU do want out who on earth is going to buy into a club when the stadia they play in is unaffordable?
