And what about the 90% of the season so far where there there have been no boos or abuse aimed at the players. What was the excuse then?

It would remain viable only in the sense that the city council would not call in the debt should ACL default on repayments to them. Had they still owed the money to Yorkshire Bank directly, then their viability post CCFC and Ricoh exit would not be so clear-cut. The moment is does default, it...

I am aware that it is matchday f&b, I'm not sure why you thought you needed to explain that. So CCFC/SISU want access to profits that they generate? Again, it is a perfectly reasonable position. A company I work for has a corporate box, and every year their F&B bill alone is getting on for...

ACL are deluded if they think they can survive without the football club, certainly not with the current business model. I have said this before, but I have heard from a source at Ricoh UK that they would withdraw from the naming rights deal if the football club leave or are forced out. How...

Yes, no issues there. Done that a few times.

Do we know that for sure? I do not pretend to understand the full complexities of the deal with ACL & Compass and only have your word for what you say the specifics of the demands are. My reading of it is that they simply want access to all catering profits generated by the football club. I...

I'm sorry, but I think that is rubbish. There has been a bit of that in the last 2 or 3 games, but most of the season the fans have been incredibly patient. Far too patient I feel, there has almost been an indifference to events on the pitch. I have been to most away games this season, and it...

Seems quite a reasonable position to me when you consider how important the football club is to the viability of the Arena. ACL could just concede to these requests and problem solved? If it is that simple, why aren't people calling on ACL to do exactly that? Well, I suspect it has a lot to...

Toxic? Absolute nonsense. The atmosphere is not toxic enough. When we played at Sheffield United they were terrible, and their fans weren't shy to let them know it. That was the turning point for them, they got a good roasting and they responded to it. So many times this season we have been...

Re the trust's aims. All wishy-washy nonsense. At this time, the biggest threat to the survival of our football club are the legal proceedings instigated by ACL. Where is the public condemnation of that? Shouldn't you be urging ACL (with suitably strong language) to halt these proceedings...

Your little addition at the end ".. oh and a Premier League standard ground as well" spoke volumes, a clear indication of which side of the fence you stand, despite your protestations to the contrary. Almost everything I see you post is done to try to contradict or undermine those that are...

I have no doubt ACL puppet master 'Mutton the Milkman' has an awful lot to do with the breakdown in negotiations. The man is an imbecile. Is it any wonder that this monosyllabic moron has failed so miserably to attract investment when representing the city on the world stage at events like...

The mentality of some is completely twisted, it's almost as if they think ACL are doing the football club a favour. You think this is a good deal? Even if you accept the figures you quote, it still represents a net contribution of 150K per year for a 3rd division football club. The arrogance...

I never said anything about the club official stating the debt had been written off as equity, it was Fisher that stated that some time ago. Whether or not this has happened or will happen will not become clear until the next set of accounts are filed. If it doesn't happen then that will be a...

Whatever you say sweetheart.

Nobody has said it is worth millions, and the club is not currently loss making if you take the rent out of the equation. The club is almost on an even keel and has roughly broken even this season up until recent events. Accessing those revenue streams would help, and at least make the club...

This is a good point. You only have to look at the amount of day trippers last week. Some clubs seem to approach it almost as a cup tie, especially on a Saturday when they tend to bring bigger away followings (big for those clubs anyway), and their players seem to raise their game accordingly...
