ACL made offers via the administrator, the correct business procedure, and then via the FL, at a guess to remove the possibility of SISU saying it had never happened. Last offer was around Dec 2013 I think. At the point the offer was made via the administrator Otium would not have been the...

It's not that simple unfortunately which is why it would be interesting to see the full report. For example you have to factor in if the money stays in the city which is not the same as money spent in the city. If you spend £20 in the casino how much of that leaves the city and goes to Rank...

The problem with this protest for me is their aims aren't well defined. Its all well and good saying we want the council to speak with SISU but they've done that and their most recent statements have all said they are happy to listen to any offer from SISU, or anyone else for that matter. If...

Why should people not want a shred of evidence when something is stated as fact? To me £2.5m seems a very high figure, you'd be looking at around £10 per ticket sold with not a penny of that still being spent in the city. If a proper report has been carried out then why not publish it so...

Interesting thing about that email is it makes no mention of things such as the JSBs. There were some who were saying the club receiving this award shouldn't be criticised as it was really for the volunteers etc who help out with that side of thing but it seems that has nothing to do with it. If...

It's non EU as thats all they can enforce. No doubt they will have to make an exception for players in relegated teams so they'll have another advantage over everyone else. Wouldn't less non-English players in the Prem be better? I'm struggling to see how having Moussa or Murphy playing for us...

I suppose if the proportion of ST holders (or people who go every game) is higher you could make an argument that the % staying away is higher but you'd really have to study all the data more than I am going to. You'd have to strip out visiting supporters, freebies and neutrals (both of which...

2012/13 average 10,948 2013/14 average 2,348 80% drop in average attendance.

If they do it will probably be a repeat of the EPPP vote, if it doesn't go though no more money to League clubs.

What game are you watching? They're playing Ukraine on my TV! ;)

Or could it be that the club don't issue a press release when they don't win an award?

What was our good news? Must have missed it!

The problem started with the PL being formed and it's all gone from there. Wonder what the % of English / home nation players was in the last season of the old Division 1. They've created their own problem and are now going a really weird way about trying to fix it which can best be summed up as...

It's almost as if they're trying to get people to keep going to the website and boost the ad revenue!

Don't forget that it wasn't long ago the FL clubs were essentially forced to accept lower payments for young players or the PL would cut off their share of revenues so we're actually moving away from more money for lower clubs. If this follows anything like Germany and Holland where this has...

Isn't that what we had before the PL started?

I think that got scrapped as clubs were moaning there was too many games they had to field a side for and the cost of running two sides wasn't sustainable! Saw some cracking reserve games at HR, you used to get random top players pop up as they were on their way back from injury. Remember a...

This is a joke. They basically want the whole FL to be a feeder system for Prem clubs. Just sort out the loan system. Instead of letting the big clubs sign up every player they can sign limit the number of kids they can have, encourage them to loan them out (without charging a fee) to get game...

From the last set of SCG minutes

No one is saying the people doing the work aren't doing a good job, they are saying it's not the club that are doing it and / or funding it. If the JSB area is run by volunteers and subsidised by the SCG why have the club been given an award? If the award had gone to Pat there wouldn't be any...
