To be fair that just says at home, doesn't say where home is going to be!

think that's a key point, they aren't going to accept any deal that doesn't backdate any new rent agreed. Also this deal talks about 3 years, what happens after that? if ACL are in as healthy a position as they keep claiming they should be able to offer a drop to £200K and backdate that. Maybe...

I would guess the 3,000 people is a number for the whole arena complex (including the retail park) and includes part time and casual workers. The figure you really need is the number of full times job just at the arena itself and you'd need to deduct from that the number of jobs there were at...

you could say we'll agree to pay X amount from now and and discuss the arrears as a seperate issue, don't see why that would be out of the question. From the interview with Issacs on the Midlands Today Facebook it looks like ACL may be insisting on the arrears being paid in full before any new...

You could look at it another way, CCFC only use the pitch 1, sometimes 2, days of the week. Why should it be down to them to pay for it 7 days a week? It was also said the money SISU pay employs ground staff, pitch being relaid etc. Again you could make an argument that's not the clubs problem...

didn't the council own the land for years and leave it wasteland? if they'd wanted to so desperately to do something with it why didn't they do it then when they economy was booming and people were throwing money around?

who would that be then? can't think of anyone local who would need a 30K capacity. wonder if those who are interested are looking to pay 1.2m? assuming it's another sport why couldn't the Ricoh have 2 teams playing there, works at many other grounds.

So when you strip out all the grants and payments from people like Tesco etc we're looking at the council putting 10m in and a loan of 32.1m. ACL then paid the council 20m (?) for the lease so surely the council have doubled their money straight away. Higgs paid 6.3m to CCFC for half of ACL (did...

There would be scope to restructure but I can't think of another tenant who would use the Ricoh as a stadium on a regular basis. Conversion for another use would cost money and who would pay that, you're prob looking at £10m plus for a roof for starters. Weren't the council / ACL looking to...

For the 2 I would take a stab in the dark that ACL will get around £1m. Out of that they will need to pay all the costs of staffing etc, no idea how much that would be as that's not my area but if you work out what CCFC are paying per match and on the basis that 4 times as many people equals 4...

Wonder what the breakdown is of who put what into the stadium overall. If it cost £113m and ACL put in £20m, £40m from the Tesco deal, £4m from Higgs (am I counting that twice? does that come as part of the ACL £20m?), wasn't there around £10m in grants who put the rest in? And that's just the...

Most acts will have a flat fee (and a very high one at that) and then a % if any profit made, that % is likely to be 80% as a minim so you can see if the show does make a lot of profit it's the artist that benefits. The promoter makes their money as a % cut of what the artist makes also through...

I did wonder that myself. For the first time in a very long time there was a bit of a buzz about the club. The upcoming Spurs match, possible trip to Wembley, much improved results under MR and then literally the day after an epic win in the JPT with everyone being positive for a change we get this.

nail firmly hit on the head there, if the picture Ricoh2012 is painting is correct (and I'm assuming he works there or has access to inside information so will assume he is correct) then to be frank ACL could drop the rent to next to nothing and still be rolling in money. if they genuinely are...

Out of interest if CCFC is paying for the pitch, groundstaff etc do they get a cut when the venue is used for Rugby, Olympics etc?

not a good idea to not mention them on the website even if they are private. makes it look like a struggling venue that can't attract custom. interesting about compass, so from that the income streams Fisher is talking about the club not getting are actually, in a roundabout way, going in...

They haven't done a good job of getting acts like that into the jaguar Hall. To be fair tho they may not want them, live music is not a big money spinner for venues and I can easily see that they may look more to other areas of business (tho a quick look on the Ricoh website for forthcoming...

that's what has never made sense to me, how did we go from owning our own ground to selling it off and not having a penny. did it all go into a brown envelope somewhere along the line or was it just total mismanagement?

Any sign of Hoffman riding down Phoenix Way on his white horse?

we would still be liable for the rent but we don't know the exact details of the contract. there may be a way for SISU to put the ownership of the lease into one of the holding companies and liquidate that, ending the lease. If CCFC (as in the football club not the company) was not owned by the...
