It's a new year miracle, we've actually been awarded a penalty! And in typical city fashion we've missed it.

To be honest I don't think there's much wrong with that statement, it seems a pretty standard way to operate a football club. The problem is nobody believes it because it comes out of the club so they have to start actioning things. If people start to see them following up on statements like...

Pennington moves over with Phillips at right back and Pugh taking his place on the bench

From CCFC twitter: Andy Webster has dropped out during pre-match training so Aaron Phillips comes into the side.

We all know Wasps have no PR machine :whistle:

CWR saying he's ill not injured but is planning to give it a go. Doesn't sound like he's 100%, says a lot about our squad depth that Pressley is even considering him if he's not fully fit.

Looking at their staff list I'm hoping Alastair Campbell and Michael Portillio sign up and join in the UKIP debate!

Twitter tells me that Baker is at the game as a punter. Sure that will please / annoy some.

It says they've doing PR for the new stadium but I wouldn't have thought you'd have 2 PR companies for something the size of CCFC. Were they still using Advent? The PR was poor so if they were a change can't hurt. This new lot look pretty big hitters judging by their website but the best PR in...

Madine out Tudguy in according to twitter. After being told he's not wanted that could go one of two ways. He'll either go all out to show SP he's wrong or not be bothered. Martin ill rather than injured and late fitness test for Webster. Edit: Allsop, Pennington, Willis, Webster, Haynes, JOB...

According to Cov City Mad SISU have brought in Portland Communication to handle PR. Not a bad idea as their PR has been terrible but of course people will need to see action as well as words.

I think you've misunderstood, I mean if at day 1 when the Ricoh was built CCFC owned 100% of ACL, CCC could loan ACL the £21m secured against the lease. As we know CCC can access finance on better terms than are commercial available so rather than ACL take a loan from Yorkshire Bank why not...

Over a million a year was mentioned as one point but isn't it adding to the debt and not actually being paid at the moment. Not sure how that relates to the rent though, if they took out £5m in management fees does it follow that the rent should be put up to £5m? You're trying to create a link...

I don't think it was NOPM or any intervention from the FL as either of those would have led to a move back during the close season. We certainly wouldn't have been paying for a new pitch at Sixfields if there was any thought of coming back. The timing seems to indicate it is connected to the...

Exactly, if we'd seen out the full term of the lease we'd have paid £60m and yet had no access to no revenues, ACL on the other hand would have paid £21m and received access to all revenues. The council put in, from memory, £10m and Higgs paid £6.5m (although that was not all new money coming...

Did indeed exist, of course it would have needed financing so maybe instead of taking on the Ricoh project the council could have given the club a low interest loan to buy back HR. I'm betting they never made an offer to do anything like that.

Neutral Fan, what's your post count on the MK Dons, AFC Wimbledon and Wasps forums?

Where did I say they should have done that? Pretty much any other solution anyone can think of would have been better for CCFC. CCC could have lent the club the few million they actually put in themselves so we would have retained full ownership. They could have given us a rent to buy deal. All...

Of course if the caring council and Higgs didn't charge us £1.2m a year in rent we might never had needed to be 'rescued' by SISU.

Missed it but will catch it later on iplayer, anyone like to summarise or was it just the same old thing.
