Well the sticking point is presumably that SISU want that £40m back. The £50m for the stadium wouldn't be money you're throwing away would it as it's buying you an asset? Surely then you own an asset worth roughly £80m (based on the valuation of £40m for the councils half which seems to be...

Could the contracts have a negative effect? Lets say for example Hoff's group takes over but they think several of the players who have been signed to contracts aren't up to the job and they want to get rid of them. Isn't that now going to cost them more money as they have longer contracts to...

out of interest say CCFC were to buy both Higgs and the councils share of ACL and therefore own 100% of the leasehold what would the value of the freehold be? not that i'm expecting that to happen any time soon, just curious.

they'll be in the home end, not like there's a shortage of tickets! they wouldn't know how many they'd sold in advance tho.

I've got a similar problem. Ever since I moved from Cov I've always planned my visits to my parents to coincide with home games and taken my Dad who has been going for over 50 years. The other day when I was on the phone to him he told me not to bother getting tickets for him anymore as he can't...

Thorns on the lowest wages in the championship, anyone experianced will want a lot more. Can't see that money coming from SISU. Plus any manager coming in would want money to improve the squad.

stopped taking her seriously when she compared going to the Ricoh to going to Old Trafford or Anfield!

Does raise the question that if theres a league wide ban in place as our lot claim why have Blackburn fans been able to display their banners for the last 3 games?

Depends who we sell and for how much. Saying the squad isnt good enough is not the same as saying every player could leave with no fuss. That said theres probably only juke, sammy and keogh who would get into most championship teams so we should be looking to hold on to them and if we're to have...

it wouldn't make the ground worth less as we pay rent and assuming there no clause to say if we go up or down the rent changes then it's a non issue. The arena would see a drop in other areas (catering etc) if there were less people there but I would guess at the moment that's a pretty small...

don't think we need to worry too much about that!

be worth seeing if you can get a mention on talksport tomorrow. keys is on from 10-1

The problem is it's difficult to compare against other sides as it doesn't really mean much. More telling is the increasingly rapid decline in our own attendances. Looking at average figures since the Ricoh opened (from ccfc.co.uk) you get this: 2005 / 06 21,301 2006 / 07 20,342 2007 / 08...

I find the whole 'we've got no other option' thing a little strange. Using the same selling your house analogy SISU used with the Hoff. I own my house and at the moment noone has shown an interest in buying it however my house is not on the market and everytime anyone asks me if it's for sale I...

I wouldn't trust them however IF the council / higgs trust decide to sell they could put clauses in to protect the club and fans. Things like the ownership of the stadium being tied to the ownership of the club, no finance being taken out using the ground. But my gut feeling is they shouldn't...

There's no point getting someone else in if you're not going to give them money to bring in their own players. Of course AT will make mistakes, every manager does, but he's not doing a terrible job bearing in mind what he's got to work with. Think he would benifit from someone with a lot of...

how is this even a story. i suppose you could argue that Clouting was taking care of the contracts but even so you would expect the chairman to be heavily involved. i wonder if they'll run a story if I decide to turn up to work and do my job tomorrow!

so are you saying the only games he's scored in are the ones he's played up front in?

Don't they already do this in the Midlands. A lot of what you get on CWR outside of peak time is from WM. Pretty sure there will still be local sports coverage.
