I agree - the lease length is not that important, just like the rent value isn't really an issue either. It's all about the revenue streams. Personally I think that the owners of the football club should control EVERYTHING at the stadium complex. So exhibitions, concerts and whatever else go...

Revenue, revenue, revenue... fuck all to do with who owns it. All these clubs that don't 'own' their grounds have a council that allows them to prosper and gives them control of all the revenues. CCC are either too fucking stupid or too fucking interested in their own agenda to realise this. So...

More than this...

At least they are trying...

The catering staff on matchdays are the same staff that are there for NTFC matchdays.

Sidestep the question much...?

At least Dhinsa bought us some breakfast...

To be honest I did try a spider analogy but I couldn't get anywhere with it. It's up to ACL what they charge... I'm merely giving my opinion that it appears to be a little high... Given that U21 games from other teams in the region were charged significantly less. Let's be honest - there's...

Lazy sniping? If you think that charging 5K for a ladies cup final is allowing the community to use the local resource that's up to you. Frankly I think it shows how much of a fuck ACL gives about Coventry and the community.... as opposed to it's bottom line.

Isn't it a cup final? Which would explain the local FA co-ordinating it. Maybe ACL have a better deal that night... Perhaps flying Kestrels round the empty bowl.

Have they not had some ladies games there before this season? Can't imagine they would have charged £5k for those too.

That's a lot of money to keep the dust at bay ;)

So are they just 50% capitalists?

If ACL is going to be the successful enterprise that it's being talked up as... why would they now want to buy it?

Yeah I saw that, apparently it's a perfectly normal thing. IMO we could analyse the accounts a million times over, but both parties would be better for each others business. They are going to suffer not working together.

Either way - they don't want to buy it. So they don't value it that highly, no matter how much bluster there is.

That was 2 weeks ago.

Or maybe they can't buy a share of a business they value as a whole as £0 for £6.5m?

Yes they did, the point I was making is that ACL didn't say - 'guess what we just got £7m from IoC exiting the lease'. Not that they necessarily should, but they are drip feeding it into their accounts every year.

Maybe they've spent all their money on Coombe Abbey?
