I'm not sure your analysis of ACL's business is quite right there. Regardless, ultimately I can't see how the council/ACL will lose out if CCFC go, because of the value of the land and facilities they're sitting on. Of course they don't want CCFC to go, because it was built to be a stadium...

I hope you both have a good day out torchy, and I still can't believe it's come to this. I think there's still hope, fwiw, but things certainly aren't looking good.

Problem is Tony, we can't even get one person to do it. Lots of individual claims will be just as much of a pain in the arse financially for SISU, if not more. Each side pays its own costs on the small claims track generally, so for once this works quite well for the little guy.

Take your point, but even one person raising a formal claim requires either either a defence or a payment. Whatever defence they make, I'd make public and pass to all interested parties. If they don't defend, I'd make that public too. Fisher's on record as saying everything but the lease is in...

I know that no one's going to do it, but I don't know why. Write a letter making a demand on CCFC Holdings for a full refund of the PSL, stating that if it isn't paid in full within 14 days, you'll take court action with no further notice. Send it recorded, keep a copy. After 14 days, raise a...

In truth I thought it was the NPPF that might change things rather than the Levy. Or are you thinking that Rugby BC could be bought off to approve PP for this, in the face of all of the likely objections? I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that the same objections to the development...

I just can't see a hope in hell of getting Planning Permission for Brandon. They couldn't even get permission to use the car park for a Sunday Market...

Please - what if TF is reading? TF: This year, in keeping with the finest traditions of football, we've decided to play 'skins'. This decision was forced upon us by the scandalous treatment of us by our suppliers, who have constantly refused to negotiate and give us our kit for nothing. We...

Depends if they're waiting for the cheque to clear before dispatch. ;)

If you really are desperate enough to buy a season ticket, can I politely suggest that you at least pay for it (or at least part of it) by credit card. It'll give you some useful protection if SISU mismanage the whole thing into liquidation/administration and/or simply bugger off to the Caymans...

Actually I quite enjoyed the thrust of your original message - we are neither sad, nor weak, but simpletons! ;) Joking aside, I'd rather you didn't go too - but it's your shout and I doubt there will be many fans here who won't feel a stab of pain from not watching the team. Tim's banking on...

Very decent of them, given Fleetwood's in Lancashire. I never knew we were such a big draw. Actually, they're probably only going to watch Fleetwood. ;) Ah, the penny drops.... the Oxford game is on BBC Oxford. That one's on Satdi, isn't it?

I'd heard the same about the increased interest. In fact, she said ST sales were up 100% week-on-week. Last week they sold one. This week they sold two. ;)

I have a theory, for what it's worth, that like a lot of other hedge funds SISU got battered in the credit downturn and it was after that point (2008-09) that investment in CCFC basically turned to life-support. I think that's what we've been running on ever since. If I'm right, then it isn't...

TF (on the phone to Primark): That's correct - 3000 of your cheapest white 'T' shirts, and a pair of blue socks. And, erm, can I borrow your washing machine please, someone stuck a balloon in ours and it's broken.

Interesting that they're saying they can't raise a large purchase order. Otium/CCFC Holdings aren't in administration, so there's nothing stopping them raising a PO as far as I can see it (whether anyone would trust them with credit is a different matter). Obviously they've had to make some...

The fact that SISU have to recycle the same tired faces through all of their businesses, and the size of their premises rather puts the lie to that multi-billion claim, as indeed do their published accounts. Regardless, it's clearly Joy that has the final say. I doubt the guys at this meeting...

OK torchy, fair enough, but I've never heard that before. No reason to doubt your word, but have you got a link to it? And like you say, why didn't they renegotiate then, honestly. Or why didn't SISU do it when they first got in. The rent has only become a show-stopping issue recently, and...

If voting down the CVA could result in a proper investigation from which there could be either a change of owners and/or a reversal of the transfer of assets out of CCFC Ltd, then it's an entirely proper action for the directors to take. So it is in no way whatsoever illegal for them to take...

I'm sorry, but you haven't answered a single question there (they were): Just out of interest, what would be a fair rent for stadium costing £30m - £60m? If it's so unfair, where has all of the egregious profit made from it gone? If it was so unfair, why did CCFC sign up for it without...
