    Charity Value of its share

    I would would assume so, although ACL have been servicing the debt so there is nothing to suggest anyone who took over would need to finance the debt in addition to paying for the stake in ACL. As I've said before any potential purchaser would have to arrive at a valuation that takes into...

    Sixfield rent

    You can't argue that the original deal hasn't worked out well for CCFC, it does make you wonder why the club agreed to it. If we believe PWKH then they took this deal in preference over other options that would have seen them paying less in the lower leagues. The only reason I can think of is...

    Charity Value of its share

    The 50% share that CCFC sold to Higgs was 50% ownership in ACL with 100% of matchday revenues. With the joint venture company I would assume that is now 100% of the share of matchday revenues received from the joint venture.

    The Mark Labowitch Thread

    Remember when people used to argue about things like how shit Kevin Kyle was, who knew we'd be looking back on that as the good old days!

    council hating rally sweepstake ???

    I would think it does matter. If 5000 people had turned up outside SISU's offices or outside the football league it would surely have had a bigger impact than a handful. Similarly for this, if thousands turn up it sends a very clear message, if a handful of people turn up its very easy for the...

    Sky blue phone in!!

    I haven't listened to it this season. It was tough going at the best of times let alone when we're in as bad a mess as this. The wife is happy though, she used to hate it.

    What would you have done?

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I bet they wish they'd never got involved now! Not sure what the best option would be, maybe the council should have purchased HR using the clubs buy back clause and setup some sort of mortgage style arrangement with the club. The problem you would have had is...

    Coventry Jets Home Game at the Butts.

    I thought they always played at the Butts, did I imagine that or did they move at some point?

    St George one, would probably change the font to something more 'traditional' looking.

    Ricoh Arena bosses overcharge again

    Careful Nick, I pointed that out earlier and got called an ACL lover for doing so!

    How much is the Sixfields Rent?

    If I remember correctly they were given to the club as part of the rent to resell at a profit. That changed once the rent strike started and anyone parking would have been paying ACL direct. You could well be correct, I think it was stated that the rent at Sixfields was higher than the last...

    Lee Burge

    at what point does he have to reach the 15 games by? could be a safety net by the club in case Murph goes but still allowing him to leave if he stays or a replacement comes in. good sense from them if it is.

    Take Us Home! rally: 1pm, Sat 10 May, Council House, Earl St, Cov

    In my opinion the whole thing should have been setup as a non profit from day one. Not sure it then follows that everything is free as that would require subsidy but with no profit required prices for all uses should drop. There needs to be more vision from the council. They are now talking...

    Take Us Home! rally: 1pm, Sat 10 May, Council House, Earl St, Cov

    Excellent, will this be published in the manifesto? This is exactly the kind of thing you need to be getting out to people to gain support. Show some evidence of what the council have done wrong and I sure there will be a change of opinion amongst fans. Not all of them obviously as we all know...

    Ricoh Arena bosses overcharge again

    There's a difference between trying to justify a price and discussion about why the price could be high. Lets make it simple. If the cost of staging the game is £5K and the hire charge is £5K then its a very reasonable offer from ACL. If the cost of staging the game is £1K and the hire charge is...

    Ricoh Arena bosses overcharge again

    What exactly do you think is spin and not factually correct? The point I, and I assume duffer, were making was that it should be entirely possible to play the game, between two Coventry sides, at a ground closer to Coventry than Walsall. The fact that the ground that has been mentioned as a...

    Take Us Home! rally: 1pm, Sat 10 May, Council House, Earl St, Cov

    Indeed, maybe someone who thinks we should be protesting against the council should attend a trust meeting and propose it. In fact I seems to recall Robs group appears immediately after all the other groups had called for unity just serving to further split the fan base rather than taking a...

    Take Us Home! rally: 1pm, Sat 10 May, Council House, Earl St, Cov

    I think the poster is probably referring to events organised by your group as you are saying all sides are responsible but seem to be targeting only one.

    Ricoh Arena bosses overcharge again

    Would that not also rule out the Ricoh as they've played home games there as well.

    carlisle utd

    Not sure that's entirely accurate, what about the youngsters with no transport or the less mobile. The club have not done a great job of making sure people who can't get there under their own steam have been taken care of this season.
