To be honest the only thing I miss about HR is the history. The Ricoh is a fantastic facility and there is no chance we'd have seen the artists and events we have had in the last few years taking place in the city without out. You just have to listen to how everyone not connected with CCFC...

That's been suggested before but isn't really workable as there are many shared areas. The executive boxes are actually hotel rooms for example. The hotel lease would be with ACL and the stadium lease with SISU so we wouldn't have any boxes anymore as one example.

was Labovich questioned at all about the new ground?

Well first off ACL would need to negociate out of all the agreements with Compass, casino, hotel etc (although I'm not clear why if you were taking over you would want to kick out all the businesses that make you money). That will more than likely cost a significant amount. The council would...

Will be up on iplayer at some point today I would imagine.

What would you do about the loan from ACL to the council and the 40 years left to run on the lease? The best option is for SISU to purchase ACL outright and then pay off the loan on the basis that they pay a peppercorn rent on a longer lease.

Not that simple is it? ACL paid up front for the lease which has 40 years left to run. You can't just rip that up and say tough you're out and someone else is in. The contracts with the casino, hotel etc would depend on the wording but unless they have a clause allowing cancellation in the...

Hopefully PWKH will give some clarification of their stance. Would like to know if its a case of they won't sell to SISU, won't sell to SISU until debt is paid, won't sell to anyone or something else. Before SISU liquidated the old Ltd co and they had the right to purchase the 50% share Higgs...

haven't listened yet but if that's accurate it seems fair to me. Just because it suits SISU you can't rip up every contract that's involved!

Did she say won't sell at any price, won't sell at a price that's been offered or have no need to sell? Of course SISU had a right to purchase the Higgs stake at a preset price. If they had made that offer would Higgs have been able to refuse? That right disappeared when SISU liquidated the...

You mean move them to the Ricoh? Wouldn't be keen on that unless their fans supported it. If they got promoted and needed somewhere short term as their ground wasn't up to standard that's one thing (and even then I'd only support that if their fans did) but moving them permanently is the same...

There was a time not long ago I would have been up and waiting to hear what they had to say. That time has passed now, unless there's news that we've coming back to Cov it's nothing I can't wait a few hours to find out.

Not sure people are saying they should have definitely taken the tickets just that knowing there was a deadline they should have run the sale in such a way that would give them a realistic idea of demand. At the moment only ST holders have been able to purchase so its hardly a surprise only...

Wouldn't assume that the stadium needs to be operating at anywhere near capacity for it to be viable to be used. You could open 1 stand, less staff etc and make it work if someone like Cov rugby wanted to move there (not that I think for a minute they would want to move). In my opinion they...

Wheres Fisher gone? No idea why they keep wheeling out Labovitch for this things, he's hopeless and sounds like he's in a panic all the time.

SISU desperately need to make a statement. They're not usually slow to make one when they get made to look bad in the press so the silence could be seen as an indication they don't know how to spin their way out of the revelations of the last few days. More than one representative of SISU very...

In that scenario you'd get the initial batch on sale to everyone ASAP so you had some idea what the demand was. They could have had a 24 hour window for ST holders, members etc, then 24 hours for anyone who's had a ticket this year. That way they would have been on general sale for a while...

The last statement they made was the one last year wasn't it which said they would move on if nothing had been done by the end of the year. This is just confirmation of that, tying up the loose ends and making it known publically. It's not really the councils fault if people have read more into...

How many were they expecting to have sold given that hardly anyone has actually been able to buy them yet? We can't have that many ST holders yet they've still sold 1,000. If they knew this deadline was coming up why didn't they schedule the general sale accordingly so they'd actually have a...

Can't really argue with any of that. Basically the council feel they've done everything they can and will not get on with things on the assumption the club is not coming back but will be willing to talk at any time should SISU change their mind. Puts the pressure on SISU to start delivering some...
