of course there's no benefit of ownership, they pay rent. Anyone who's ever paid rent knows you don't end up with ownership. Of course when people claim £1.3m is too much for a L1 club they ignore a couple of key points. Firstly when the rent was initially set ACL wanted a sliding scale, more...

Can anyone remember what actually happened with mediation? I remember there was a lot of talk from the fans and it was put to Fisher and he squirmed and usual and wouldn't commit to it, from memory ACL were asked after that and said there was no point as SISU would never agree to it which isn't...

the FL have said in the past the reason the F&P test is basically self certification and everyone passes is that they couldn't afford to defend a lengthy court case. Seems all the money they receive is being used on running costs, most likely large salaries for those making the decisions. would...

I think this can also be taken as a warning shot to the FL, they seem to be in fear of SISU taking them to court so if they now think ACL will take them to court as well maybe they'll start making sensible decisions rather than ones they think will give them the least hassle. At the moment ACL...

The 'they just haven't wanted to' line might come back to haunt him if ACL do take legal action. there's no way he can claim ignorance of the situation when he's making statements like that.

they have to cover the game, nothing to say they have to provide commentary and have Cov as the main game. it comes down to demand, if more people would rather them cover something else they will be, most likely Nuneaton. Can't see it happening tho, surely those that are boycotting games will...

Probably wanted to get in before the ballboys went on strike! :blue:

Good to see another NTFC fan can see it's bad news getting involved with SISU. The best bet is for Cardoza to pull out of this deal ASAP. been telling every NTFC fan I can getting involved with SISU, no matter how much he thinks he has every possible eventuality covered, will be a decision he...

there's this thing you may have heard of called due diligence. if the rent was an issue it should have been an issue on day 1 not years later. If Robinson was aware of it being an issue why were SISU not capable of spotting the problem when they took control? Do I think the £1.2m rent is too...

Totally what they are after. Never in a million years will they build a ground. They think this will make ACL panic and hand them the stadium but the actions of ACL today suggest otherwise.

If Fisher thinks the Rotherham stadium is nice he's going to shit himself when he sees the Ricoh :D

wasn't Wimbledons stadium sat empty for years after they left?

The argument will be that NTFC are entering into the arrangement knowing that CCFC have an existing arrangement with ACL. In doing this they will be seen to be enticing CCFC to break their existing agreement as nobody is going to claim CCFC are going to pay the rent at the Ricoh and Sixfields...

Elvis will have to get his boots on at this rate

Going to be interesting to see how this plays out. My understanding is that usually a new holding company would be formed by the new owners which would then take ownership of the existing Ltd company so the FL would be issuing the GS to that same Ltd company. SISU seem to be wanting to leave Ltd...

It seems very likely we will start the season in admin even if ACL accept the CVA. Won't this impact on the groundshare? I thought that could only start once we are out of admin? Presumably that means Appleton is still in charge and will need to take up ACL on their offer to play at the Rioch...

I live in Portsmouth so I'd be one of those, of course it didn't say if it would be closer or further away so didn't really have any influence on my answer. But if only 25% said yes, given the way the question was phrased and the fact it was before all this rubbish about playing at Northampton...

I would imagine they are thinking that no contract has yet been signed as Otium can't agree anything until we are out of admin and therefore they are wanting to apply enough pressure though various means that Cardoza rethinks about the easy money he's getting offered. Will also have attracted...

As far as I know it is going to involve Lady Godiva, not sure who's got nominated for that role! Imagine there will be more details in the next couple of days as they've only just had the go ahead from the police.

that's a bit harsh. just take a look on the hotel end forum, every time a Cov fan goes on there to point out what is actually going on and why NTFC fans should be against it they get a load of abuse! The trust are arranging a protest on July 20th and I'm sure your fans will be very welcome. As...
