Wouldn't the FL have to authorise any transfer of the Golden Share or can SISU just do what they want with it?

I think we're all just second guessing here, we don't really know the details of what SISU have done and no matter how stupid / incompetent people think they are I can't imagine they'd have taken this action without some legal advise and being pretty confident in what they are doing.

Spoke too soon, it's absolutly hammering it down now. And I've got to bike home :(

Fratton Park doesn't fare well in bad weather, it's quite often the first, or only, place a game is called off above non league level. Saying that it rained last night fairly heavily but it's OK so far today. Forecast is for more rain tonight.

Think that's the most sense I've ever heard out of him!

No I didn't I said a few may go for the novelty. Meaning that some people may stop going but some people who wouldn't have gone might do for the novelty value. For example I've had a mate in Walsall (not a Walsall or City supporter btw) saying he'll come to a game if we end up in Walsall so...

where is the city boundary? wouldn't the other side of the motorway be out of the city? would people seriously refuse to go if we were playing a mile away from the Rioch (theoretical of course, no idea if there's anywhere to build a stadium there). does bring up another though. If we were to...

we've only got 3 home games left haven't we? Can't imagine, should we play them elsewhere, the attendance will drop off a cliff. The novelty factor will probably draw a few in.

Could well do but you have to think there would be a tipping point where they would lose the support they have at the moment. They are people who need votes after all, if public opinion swings against them to any great degree as they could be seen to be deliberately stopping the club moving back...

Would imagine you could transfer whatever you like between your own companies. Think the only thing that was tied to a particular company is / was the lease. Don't really see on what grounds ACL could challenge it but I'm far from an expert! It may come down to if ACL have a clause that says the...

But normally you would have players not being paid, tax not being paid, staff laid off etc. that's not happening at CCFC. My suspicion would be the only debt this company in admin holds is to ACL. Not saying they would get away with it but they could def make an argument for it and quite a...

local radio chap who was on the train to London has come back again. said he's spoken to SISU and nothing happening tomorrow now. wouldn't take that as 100% confirmation tho, things seem to be changing fairly quickly!

no point people getting worked up about something that hasn't happened. SISU may well offer transportation to any other ground at least for this season and refunds for those that can't make it. think what happens to ST holders who can't make a game is not likely to be at the top of the priority...

I don't follow your thought process here. Surely there's not that many clubs in the same position as CCFC, i.e.: renting their ground. Of those that are how many are in rent disputes? If you're referring to the FL allowing CCFC to complete fixtures away from the Ricoh then the FL have...

That's exactly my thoughts OSB, people are saying there's a clause preventing SISU moving the lease out of whatever company holds it so why not just move everything else out. SISU may well have just out manoeuvred ACL. The FL have previously let clubs temporarily play at other grounds and SSN...

bit of a side issue at the moment but does this not make the buy back clause pretty worthless? We've already found out the supposed formula had the price at around £4m more than Higgs paid for it and it seems even if SISU did want to buy it they couldn't anyway!

It's not going to be straightforward that's for sure. Imagine if you had CCFCH with a group of companies under it, one of which was CCFC and another which ran some random buiness, let's say a sweet shop. If the sweet shop went bust would you really expect CCFC to get a points deduction? If it...

what if they transferred everything else and just left the rent agreement / arrears?

Seen a few Walsall fans having a pop in the last few months? Didn't know they had a problem with us, anything in particular upset them?

on the face of it very different to what Saints did but we only have the club statement to go on. With Saints it was the holding club that wholly owned and operated the football club, to all intents and purposes they are the same entity. With this is will come down to what this country is, on...
