    That is how to look after fans

    The link you're referring to there is only concerning tickets distributed through schools and local clubs. Many people, myself included, have been offered free tickets from other sources, there's been nothing to indicate that has changed.

    Are you stating as fact that ACL paid a going rate for the additional 200 years on the lease over and above the amount previously reported for the sale of ACL to Wasps? Given the cost of the initial lease we'd be talking about a figure of around £85m, surprised the council are keeping that...

    Birmingham City being run by administrators

    Same with Southampton, it was the parent company and they got a points deduction. Don't see any way they are getting out of this but then we all know the FL make it up as they go along.

    Not to mention a lease extension of over 200 years chucked in for nothing.

    There was a formula price which was confidential however most people believed it to be in the region of £10m. PWKH posted on here that he couldn't confirm the exact formula but that that it was about right.

    You're making it sound like the club put zero money in which wasn't the case. At the point the club took a 50% share in ACL they had put millions in to the project. Don't have the figures to hand but the amounts put in by the council and CCFC weren't that far apart from memory. Seem to recall...

    An open letter to Joy by PSB Group

    How did they manage to elect a group chair while everyone was insisting on being annoymous?

    What was the WASPS crowd today

    Will be interesting to see how many London / Wycombe based Wasps fans renew STs next season when the free transport to games stops.

    An open letter to Joy by PSB Group

    Building on the huge success of their last open letter, did that even get a response?

    George Thomas

    He'll probably be put at centre back then.

    Waggott Forum

    The obvious point to make is that they said at the start of the season it would be a promotion push and now we're battling relegation, why? What has gone wrong and where does the blame lie and most importantly what has been done to rectify it. Why do we have such a high turnover of players...

    A manager that has a proven record with limited resources

    Why have they announced this with them sat in 7th?

    Jamie Jones

    Guess it depends on what other options we have. I wouldn't be unhappy if we kept him for the rest of the season but if we could get Murphy back as a couple of people suggested might be not the cards then let him go back and keep Burge as back up.

    Pressley's signings

    Why on earth would anyone want to claim credit for the load of rubbish we have signed if it's not down to them?

    Pressley's signings

    At the fans forum at the start of the season, with Waggott sat next to him, SP said who comes in and who goes out is entirely his choice. I suspect Waggotts role is more the business side, agreeing terms, sorting contracts etc.

    Simply The Best

    I started going in 86 so Speedie was the first big signing I remember, cracking player. Gallacher was always a favourite of mine and Ndlovu was always exciting when he got the ball. After that it was Hucks and Dion. Keane was obvioulsy a fantastic player but not really here long enough to be a...

    City fans reply to Alan Poole article

    Don't think it was a piece as such but something he posted on his facebook. Along the lines of the players didn't believe in SP and he'd spoken to someone on the staff, unnamed at the time, who confirmed that was the case.

    What was the WASPS crowd today

    Then you'd be looking at one of two things. Either CCFC are doing something strange to not be a viable business or football clubs in general aren't viable businesses. In either scenario I would be looking for a problem elsewhere.

    That is how to look after fans

    Are you forgetting who the major shareholder in IEC is? There's nothing to suggest that it has to be profitable, it may break even, it may be subsidided by Wasps. Even at cost price it would still be a significant cost to the football club so where is that money coming from. I just don't think...

    What was the WASPS crowd today

    First and foremost a major concern of mine about the move as it did occur would still be the case, in that a full consultation should take place with those who could be negatively impacted such as CRFC and the Wasps fans having their say. If valid issues were raised then I would be against us...
