    Weren't they also bidding for the super casino license and didn't get it?

    Buy Nuneaton Town ?

    What are you basing this on? The cost of additional capacity has to be cheaper at the stage of initial build rather than adding at a later date. Having extra capacity doesn't really add a day to day cost, stewarding, policing etc will all be done on the crowd level not capacity. I would say the...

    Disheartening Sky Blue's Story On The Way..

    It's the return of bad news Thursday! Unless we've been kicked out of the league how much worse can things get?

    Aeg

    Did you actually read what I posted? In the UK AEG deal almost exclusively with music events and ticketing (through their own ticketing company AXS). The largest part of their business is AEG Live a music promotions company which puts events on at hundreds of venues all over the country...

    Hinckley AFC at the Ricoh?

    Why would you start a new team called Hinckley and move then to Coventry? Must be someone on the wind up.

    Buy Nuneaton Town ?

    If Nuneaton fans backed a move to the Ricoh then I'd be OK with it but if they weren't in favour then this shouldn't even be considered. Not being locally in all honesty I would probably never go to see them play or have any interest in how they are doing above the level I do now which is...

    Mediator

    I remember that, don't think he so much said no outright as squirmed a bit and tried to change the subject. One thing to consider with mediation is who would pay the bill if an agreement wasn't reached. There will be a cost to the council, and therefore the taxpayer. What if, as with the...

    Aeg

    Will probably post more on this tomorrow when I get on a decent keyboard but while they are a huge worldwide company if you look at what they do in the UK you'll see how unlikely it is they'd have the slightest interest in running the Ricoh. In this country they are a music based company running...

    more self publicity???

    Well we know that's not true, Grendel still has an account :D

    This Situation..

    And what then? ACL no longer exists, no events of any sort at the Ricoh, all the businesses at the Ricoh have been kicked out and CCFC are still playing in Northampton - brilliant plan.

    So your solution is that CCC screw over a load of businesses and cause a lot of local people to lose their jobs? If that's the way you choose to do business you should probably speak to Joy, she'll probably give you a job.

    FAO OSB & other finance people - Otium changes

    think it means they've put more money in during the last 21 days and the charge has been updated to reflect that.

    Do you really think that the price SISU will pay will cover all those costs?

    I assume the point is just cancel the loan and liquidate ACL with no compensation however ACL have been overpaying on the loan prior to the refinancing so essentially the loan does even cover compensation to ACL at a pro rata rate let alone the loss of any future profit. Also doesn't solve the...

    This Situation..

    SISU don't want to buy ACL, SISU want to purchase the freehold with ACL no longer in existence and all the contracts at the Ricoh (hotel, casino, compass etc) cancelled. You've said that's easy to do so who would cover the cost of it?

    Stadium in Coventry

    Not lived in the city for many years but the first place that springs to mind is the old Courtaulds site, has that all been redeveloped?

    SISU don't want the contracts transferred over, that's the problem! They want to purchase the Freehold with ACL having been wound up and all the contracts between ACL and the other businesses at the Ricoh cancelled. It makes no sense of course, but SISU insist this is the only way they can make...

    This Situation..

    If SISU are prepared to cover the cost of cancelling all the contracts what difference does it make if the council do it or SISU do it. Surely SISU could buy the freehold from the council, buy both stakes in ACL and then sort out the other businesses at the Ricoh for themselves. Why would they...
