What's alleged to have happened? I would have thought every contract would be different. Each players bonus, if they even had one, would be whatever was agreed at the time they negotiated their contract wouldn't it? Is it being said they haven't been paid what they were promised?

This is something that really annoys me in politics. We had 13 years of Labour blaming everything on the Tories and now we've had 6 years of the Tories blaming Labour. Just get on with fixing things! Social housing, indeed all housing, is a complete mess and there doesn't seem to be a plan to...

This problem occurs all over the country. Why can a law not be made so that as soon as they park up somewhere they shouldn't be all their vehicles can be seized. Councils have to provide sites for them yet they choose not to use them. Should also look into how they are taxed. We all have to...

The annoyance I have with press conferences is when we get into the same thing every week and being told things we clearly know aren't correct. All the we'll sort it next week and everything is great, we're all working hard stuff is hard to take when we're in this sort of form. Not suggesting...

I have no problem with them promoting the city but this just makes us look stupid. I would question why the bias towards rugby. It seems to me that the major beneficiary of a big rugby promotion in the city would be Wasps. Would be interested to know how much public money is going towards this...

As I said I wasn't around much when this was happening but from what I have been told a plan was being looked into which was largely based around replacing or extending and referring the main stand and west stand. What was being looked at couldn't be done on the existing footprint so the council...

Thats a very naive view Tony. You've said yourself in this thread there is a lot of interest in rugby, its hardly a marginalised sport that people have no awareness of. It also isn't a sport, compared to something like ice hockey, that is expensive to get involved in and needs specialist...

Are the council not involved in this project then?

You couldn't make it up. Next Milton Keynes will become the city of football.

Wembley is £25m for 6 years but its not naming rights. Its still Wembley Stadium but now it has connected by EE added to the end.

Do you really expect him to say 'we all know he'll bugger off as soon as someone else is interested'?

The name rings a bell but I can't place him. We've had so many people promising all sorts of things its hard to keep track!

There's a lot of parallels with our original deal at the Ricoh - enough that if I was a Hammers fan I'd be worried. They even said at the start of the season they needed to stay up for the move to work. The key for them will be naming rights, if that goes for enough then its basically rent...

West Ham get a hell of a lot of things included in their rent as well. Most of the staffing costs for running and maintaining the stadium are included for example.

It's on Box Nation which is £12 a month.

Have thought the same. I wouldn't have given it a second thought before all this nonsense from the police. Our away end can take 6,000, there shouldn't be a problem with allowing pretty much as many away supporters as want tickets. And aren't WMP basically saying they aren't competent enough to...

You would get revenues not too different to a season of CCFC but you have to deduct costs whereas we pay matchday costs on top. And of course that assumes you can get market rate, its an extremely competitive market and promoters will play venues off against each other. So if for example...

As an extremely rough guide work on about £2 - £3 per head assuming filled to capacity. Obviously it varies a pretty large amount due to name value, location, facilities. Of course out of that hire fee you will be expected to provide various services, stewarding for example. Some acts want a...
