What does Albion mean in club names? Does that relate to anything?

So if we follow the Derby route Joe and Hoff buy the ground and give it to the club with Joy and Tim ending up in prison :D

Unbelievably Les seems to have got a second story out of this weeks Lamptey podcast and I find this one a poorer piece of journalism than the first and I didn't think much of that one! http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/sky-blues-fans-divided-over-6332419 I posted a summary of...

Its a bit ridiculous for people to be saying anything outside the city boundary is a no go. That said it's pretty clear that every step further away from the city boundary will mean more people who feel it is too far away and won't go. It's a pretty unique situation, other teams who play...

I'd be interested to see the business case for that and how they proposed to turn a profit as on the face of it paying out £50K and taking none of the ticket revenue on a 9K attendance doesn't seem to stack up. Was the attendance a lot lower than expected or was it pretty full? If it could be...

I listen to it while cycling in a gale so apologies in advance if I've got the wrong end of the stick on anything. My overriding feeling was that the CT piece presented just about the most negative report of the podcast conversation possible. Started off with a preamble where Joey and Andy...

I may be totally wrong on this but my understanding was that the 'rent' also covered things like the provision of parking spaces, hospitality etc which were then sold on by CCFC at a profit.

If ACL paid the LTA 50K with no rights to any income other than F&B on a 9K attendance then they must have made a significant loss on the event. My understanding is ACL recieve under 77% of F&B profits from Compass. To cover 50K on a 9K attendance you're looking at £5.55 per head. I think that...

but as we've seen stated by the likes of OSB all the other income actually comes to very little. People seem to keep assuming that the amount charged to SISU / CCFC is all clear profit for ACL but they provide facilities and services which have a cost associated with them.

You're not comparing the same thing. The Davis Cup was a paid event, ACL paid a set amount to buy in the event they then had the rights to ticket income and other income from the event. Are you suggesting that SISU pay £50K a match and then keep all the revenues? Can't see that working for SISU...

I think they can sell the freehold it's just they can't sell it at what is deemed to be below market rate.

we wouldn't pay the same level of rent as the womens team when we've got way more people attending. the £x per 1K fans isn't a bad idea but didn't ACL offer something similar? Lower base rent and an extra payment per ticket sold after a certain amount.

didn't Cardoza say that neither Northampton or us would be getting any F&B as Northampton sold all the Sixfields F&B rights to a local company.

seems a bit odd as they don't ever sell out do they? when are they going to have the demand for enough home tickets to need to open the top tier?

dont they have to hold test events when the top tier is not used to full capacity? this game would be the perfect chance to do that. The MK fans aren't going to buy enough tickets to need the whole of the top tier open so why not open a bit up for us and class it as a test?

The womens team have been playing there, what have their attendances been like? If CCFC were non league the costs from an ACL perspective would most likely take a huge drop. You'd probably only open one stand for a start so less staff needed, less F&B outlets to open. Would just need them to sit...

when he was getting some stick for giving Joy an easy ride didn't he say something about future interviews or have I imagined that? there's some very obvious questions that need to be asked of Joy and / or Tim but neither the Telegraph or CWR seem up to the job. How difficult can it be to push...

Haven't listened to this weeks podcast yet so can't really comment on what's in that but isn't their a big flaw in taking anything from a conversation with Reeves and West. As we know from before Reeves and West, who are both board members at ACL, are not in a position to discuss the sale of the...

Miss going to Blaze games since I've moved down south. There's not even any localish Elite League teams to get a few away games in.
