    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    As if the CET would publish it... conflict of interests and all..

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    I know... seems ridiculous when they are building another shopping complex less than 2 miles away from it. Someone should buy it and convert it to a soccer centre (a la Goals)

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    Which means they can take us for whatever they want. Made worse by the fact that there will be plenty of people that will say it's because SISU won't pay the asking rate - even if that is say.... £1.3m pa with no revenue access.

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    So if we are turfed out.. does that mean everyone will go this time?

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    The position to negotiate might be moot. It appears that ACL/Wasps could cut us loose at the end of the season and we will have no control of it. Wasps don't fall under the jurisdiction of the FL or the FA, and no-one at CCC cares nor can do anything anyway. What then........?

    Club aims to raise £35m from bond

    SISU didn't deliberately set out to crush our club, they have just done a spectacularly shit job of trying to get a return on their investment (unless of course Joy is secretly a Sunderland fan and she's still pissed about 1977) Whilst some people are no doubt eulogizing about the fantastic...

    One single significant event that shaped our season .......

    The point I was trying to make was the club did posture about building a new stadium... But at the point the Ricoh return was announced the tone of the language changed... If you read the BBC sport feature on it, Clive Eakin says that very point... it went from build to own. Did they know...

    One single significant event that shaped our season .......

    It's hardly proof when you find a quote supposedly attributed to a person at a specific time.. But actually did not occur at the point you claim it did. Why don't you go the whole hog and claim to know the lottery numbers... 2 weeks after the draw has taken place.

    One single significant event that shaped our season .......

    So they did.. turns out you didn't bother to check the date of said 'quote' as it was July 11th.... before the season even started and well before an official return to Ricoh was announced. After the announcement though - the word used was own - not build. Unless of course you are going to try...

    One single significant event that shaped our season .......

    Didn't say that though did he? He said own.... Not build.

    Jumpers for Goalposts...

    Gosford Green...and sometimes Stoke Green when the uncle fancied a trip to the local WMC

    Horrible feeling

    It reminded me of one of our last games in the Championship, think it was home against Millwall.. we fucking battered them for an hour, got a penalty which McSheffrey duly missed and then we crumbled.

    Blame

    In hindsight... Pressley in the main had a very poor eye for judging what a player could offer to the club - not just in football terms. Baker was an example of this - whether you rated him or not, the guy loved the club. Pressley banged on about DNA and passion and character and jettisoned the...

    Horrible feeling

    Apologies - you are right. What I meant was that should Colchester go down then there was only 1 relegation place remaining that we could fall into.

    Horrible feeling

    As already said... we will know more after Tuesday. If Colchester don't win it will only be Notts County that can catch us other than our opponents. We could be in a position where if Notts County were losing, then a point would keep us both up. Let's hope for casual passing round the box like...

    Verdict on today and the future.

    Of course... Joy is taking our season ticket money directly so she can get herself a new pair of shoes with matching handbag. We have a team of misfits and kids and shit journeymen because we can't afford anything else. That's because over the last 20 years we've been fucked over by old...

    Sums it up

    Do SISU own the Ricoh now? Must have missed that one.

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    He said own - not build.... completely different context and linked in at the time with the statement regarding building trust when they returned.
