Unless they're going to knock the stadium part down 'moving on' isn't really too much of an issue is it? They may stop maintaining the pitch and may book other things that would impact of availabilty for use on matchdays (as they already have with the gaming thing) but surely if the stadium is...

I can't think of any scenario beneficial to the football club that requires ownership of the freehold. The only benefit I can see is for SISU. If they can obtain the freehold at below market value they can debt load against the security of the freehold and use that money to pay off some / all of...

how many is it including caretakers?

The FA / FL will most likley do nothing as usual but it would actually be a very easy thing for them to prevent. Presumably the golden share names Hull City so they should just tell the owner that if he changes the name the new club won't have a share and will go to the bottom of the pyramid.

So your argument is that if we ignore all the big games where the crowd would be too big for the proposed stadium the ground will be big enough?

The reason given by SISU for needing this new ground is we need access to more revenues. Since moving to the Ricoh there have been 54 games where the attendance has been greater than will be possible in the proposed new stadium, that's a lot of lost revenue in ticket sales alone. That is before...

if we're getting a 60 acre site that should cut down the options so can those who live locally suggest sites that would be that big and not in green belt?

that's only the top 6, if you look at all attendances that would be too big for the proposed new ground by season then you get this: 2005/06 - 16 2006/07 - 12 2007/08 - 11 2008/09 - 5 2009/10 - 3 2010/11 - 3 2011/12 - 3 2012/13 - 1 Actually when you look at what has happened...

How would that work? Isn't it set up so ACL own the lease and CCC own the freehold. 2 seperate entities owning 2 different things. How does it follow that if SISU buy the freehold ACL gets wound up and what happens to things like the loan, balance of lease value etc?

I work regularly with AEG and I've asked before when this has been raised and had the people I work with ask around and no one at AEG seems to know anything about this, the comment I always get back is they have a very good working relationship with ACL that they are more than happy with (it is...

To be honest I feel like giving up. It's not easy to walk away from supporting your team but this just feels like a slow lingering death. Nothing to do with being a City supporter is enjoyable anymore. We're now faced with months / years of the JR dragging on. There's no sign of the team leaving...

This is a key point. It seems they are claiming every person that goes to a game spends £80 in the local area. Even if you take that figure as being correct for the whole amount to be lost from the local economy they are stating every person that went to a game no longer spends a single penny of...

That works out somewhere in the region of £80 spend per ticket sold, seems high to me. When I go to games I drive up from Pompey, park for £2 near the fire station, walk to the ground, watch the game, walk to the car and go home. If it's really cold I might buy a cuppa at half time. So my total...

I'm doing nothing of the sort. I'm highlighting SISUs complete and utter incompetence using the facts you supply. If you state that having 25% of ticket revenue spent on rent is a clear road to bankrupcy it then follows that if SISU haven't noticed this for 5 years they are highly incompetent...

Ticket income is not the only money that comes into the club. Although you do have to wonder if this is as basic a business fact as you state why did it take SISU 5 years to work it out and why, once they did work it out, didn't they try and negotiate on the rent rather than just stopping paying...

You need to listen to the podcast as they state that the council were very clear that the 150K offer had been made available to SISU. I will ask you again do you think that is an offer SISU should accept?

How much revenue are SISU getting at Sixfields?

Not sure what you mean by a situation where it could be accepted, but are you therefore inferring that an offer of £150K should be accepted by SISU? Surely all that takes is someone on the SISU side to go yes we'll take that offer, doesn't seem impossible to me. if you think that offer was never...

BTW is that ticket price based on any actual evidence or just a figure you've plucked out of the air?
