    Ricoh Arena - parliamentary debate

    Does he mean the clubs books or SISU? If it's the club I can't see why they'd object, they're just going to show they're losing loads. If he means SISU that's pretty pointless as it's not really them that owns us it's an investment fund and I'm not sure what having access to that would prove (is...

    Ricoh Arena - parliamentary debate

    that'll be the point I missed. think the Trust need to push them on this. they've publicly suggested mediation so call them out on why they won't agree to binding arbitration. you would have to assume they don't want it because they don't think it will go their way. ACL could really put some...

    Ricoh Arena - parliamentary debate

    was a bit underwhelming wasn't it! was hoping Bob was going to use parliamentary privilege to drop some bombshell but no such luck.

    Could ACL / The Council be buying CCFC out?

    that would make sense but I've yet to see anyone show how the club can be run to break even. remember what happened last season when slashed the budget to try and break even. could ACL continue to fund losses?

    Ricoh Arena - parliamentary debate

    I think I've missed a major point here but when I was watching Bob Ainsworth said that binding arbitration was the way forward. He them seem to suggest (sounded like he only read the follow up to a previous email) Mark Labovitch, on the board at CCFC, was agreeable to this and the process should...

    I'm thinking we'll win the next two home games and then just as we think we're back in with a chance we'll lose at Portsmouth.

    Investors

    I'm sure there's plenty of other clubs that could be taken over where they wouldn't have to pay to access those revenues and would own their own ground. CCFC doesn't look a very attractive proposition if you don't have an emotional tie to the club, there would seem to be a lot of better options...

    If Joy Seppala liquidates us out of spite......

    or if you look at it from a non fan perspective she's got an investment with zero chance of making a return on investment and very little chance of even breaking even. Therefore the longer SISU stick around the more money they lose, or rather their investors money. I think the biggest question...

    any chance this will show up on BBC Parliament? Do they usually show this sort of thing? Would imagine a public record of the meeting would be available afterwards if not.

    Sky blues player commentary on mobile phone/tablet

    is there anyway to stop Puffin timing out? I have to reload the page 2 or 3 times a game as the flash player seems to stop after a while.

    What companies in C&W would be affected without ccfc?

    Down here Portsmouth Council reckon the football club is worth £300m a year to the local economy. It was looked into as part of the loan offer to their trust. £300m does seem a touch on the high side to say the least but I think the loss of CCFC would have a much bigger impact than many people...

    Pompey away train travel

    Assuming its roughly the same as going Portsmouth to Cov you won't get it cheaper than that. The other way to do it is megabus / megatrain, Birmingham to London then London to Portsmouth but it only runs at certain times so I doubt it would work out that you could get there and back on the same...

    Finally....

    For me unless they've got someone exceptional like Adkins lined up, and there's not much chance of that, we'd be better off sticking with Carso till the end of the season. The rent row surely has to be resolved one way or another before the start of next season so get that done first and then...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    They are already past the year for administration but have had an extension. The more pressing deadline is that the FL have said they have to be out of administration by the end of the season or they will be thrown out. I would imagine their 10 point penalty will apply next season as it will...

    Just one question for ACL/Council.. a petition ?

    Agree with you that some sort of merger or takeover by ACL is the way forward but SISU would still be looking for some return and given how much they say they have put in the only way I can see it happening is if SISU walk away and we go into admin. Even then ACL would have to have some plan as...

    depends who else has applied. the one thing it would do is stop people asking for him every time we need a new manager!

    Buying the Higgs Share

    is it possible for them to file accounts with the rent situation ongoing? Presumably ACL can just show what is owed in their accounts and get that signed off but would anyone sign off on CCFC accounts without a resolution on the rent?

    Breaking news: Acl call off rent talks

    So does that mean the profit goes to CCFC rather than ACL but ACL then invoice CCFC so the club doesn't have a real increase in income but it has more revenue going through the books for the purposes of FFP?
