I wasn't aware of a formal offer being submitted by SISU. Do you know how much they offered? I believe if, as you suggest, an offer has been made it has to go to a full council vote, the results of which would be available for us to examine. It is not for Ann Lucas, or anyone else involved for...

Where have you seen that they get the income from non-football events? I haven't seen that anywhere, even of the West Ham site about the move it says they get ticket money, shirt sponsorship and a share of catering, nothing about other events. Are you saying that as West Ham are selling their...

You can do a valuation without access to all of that, happens all the time. You make an offer based on what you believe it is worth but make the offer conditional based on the results of due diligence being satisfactoty and / or any other conditions you want to put in.

What was that tournament that was played at the Ricoh in the summer of 2012?

£15m up front then £2m a year. They also have to pay a one of payment if the club is sold in the next 10 years. And guess what? They don't get all the pie money. They get money from ticket sales and a share of F&B. Not certain but I think the money generated by any other events goes to LLDC...

A win tomorrow and we'll have a bit of breathing space. Lose or draw tomorrow and I'll be starting to get nervous. Alright having games in hand but with a small squad and a lot of games in a short space of time could get tricky.

Either someone else (most likely council) builds it and you rent it or you build it yourself. If you're building it yourself you have to raise finance, most teams have an existing ground they can sell to at least part finance the move the rest will come via a loan / mortgage / investment. Of...

Why not, whichever they prefer should the situation arise. Why would the argument for / against them playing at De Montford Park be any different than the Ricoh? Assume it's still being maintained as Villa use it don't they for youth games or reserves I think (or possibly both). If there was a...

For me it's not the same thing. What we are talking about here is Nuneaton moving, most likely on a temporary basis, if promoted as their current ground is not up to league standard. They would be moving to the nearest ground that is league standard and it just so happens to be empty. In my...

Isn't she also part of the chamber of commerce? How much it impacts on her business is debatable. Her company already took a fair bit of stick online when they began sponsoring Sky Blues Player earlier this season after all other local companies had stopped dealing with the club. The bigger...

I'm afraid the more I hear about this group the more I doubt how truly independent it is. Certainly does not seem to be representative of the fan base. Shame that once again the chance to get people involved, no matter how futile the project or if you believe the ground is being built or not...

Interesting note on the new group in the latest SBT newsletter

What a joke, it's not really an increase is it as we've never seen any plans!

That's what I don't understand. It appears from what little we know about the JR that SISU will present an argument which, according to what Labovich has been stating, will show that SISU has been acting illegally!

In my opinion it is SISU's fault we are not playing at the Ricoh and as a result of that we have a huge drop in revenue which they should make up. If the revenue isn't high enough then there's a very simple solution to that problem. Not sure what you're suggesting with ACL's revenue, are you...

I'm pretty sure its the case that if the owner puts money is as equity (i.e.: not a loan) it can be counted.

It's a problem in Safari on iOS7 that apple are taking their time fixing. Any ad that's got a link to the app store automatically opens the store.

I believe it is.

I suspect the 'real' debt figure prior to admin was around £30m, then some old debt which had been kept on the books from the pre-SISU days (but not actually money they'd paid out) suddenly appeared and the figure shot up to £60m meaning they could happily write off £30m as part of the...

You also need to factor in at least 3 years (I'd say 5 as a minimum, more likley longer) of massively reduced income due to playing at Sixfields as well do it is going to be over £60m they need to sell it for. Of course any buyer has leverage, assuming the bowl at the Ricoh is still available...
