What's SMC's role? I thought they leased the ground from the council and then in turn leased it to Hull City and Hull FC. SMC lost around .5m last year so whoever is paying what it doesn't seem to be sustainable hence why the owners of the football team / stadium lease are threatening to hand it...

Is there really anything to be gained complaining about the £1.2m rental rate. Two reasons for saying that, firstly it is known that CCFC were offered a sliding scale dependent on success but chose instead the flat rate, presumably believing premiership football would follow and they'd make a...

Are you talking about the original rent or the 400K offer? Man City pay around £3m I think, West Ham £2m, Peterborough were paying £500K but that's been dropped to £300K whilst building work is carried out, Walsall pay £360K. They're the only ones I happen to know. The problem with asking a...

So have you been to a trust meeting and asked them to stage a protest outside the council? If so what was there response? Assuming they've rejected the idea what stops you doing it yourself, even leaving the trust if your feelings about them refusing the council protest are strong enough? Is...

the trust aren't going to use every single suggestion that's put out there. it's pretty simple really, just needs one of the people on here moaning to set a date and a time, tell the telegraph and CWR and tell the police and off you go. surely if people felt that strongly they'd do something...

Not sure Hull are the best example. my accountant supports Hull and whenever we talk about our problems with the Ricoh he always tells me about what a mess the stadium situation is in Hull to the point that their owner is now talking about building a new ground and moving out! Is there any...

I got one as well, clicked on the link to see what they'd done to the website and got an error page :facepalm:

could it be that Bob is making sure this is all officially recorded somewhere so it can be referenced at some future point if and when someone decides to take action against SISU?

Would anyone trust SISU to not try and find a way out of anything put in place to protect the club if it didn't suit them. Down here Fratton Park has some restriction on it that it can only be used as a football ground to prevent an owner selling it off but the idea was floated that some of the...

some please film this and stick it on youtube!

Well I for one certainly can't think of any examples of this kind of activity happening :whistle:

not even SISU could be that stupid as to start legal action against the clubs fans could they???

This is a key question. It's fairly clear to all of us that asset stripping has taken place and just the lease has been left in Ltd by design but what's the tipping point for that being formally investigated? Surely it doesn't rely on Appletons report?

be nice if we don't but experience with Juke, where SISU were all over the press about how we wouldn't sell our best players only to sell him in the next window, suggests we might be disappointed. in our favour I think we still get fee's (due to age) for the kids if they leave at the end of...

They are probably wondering the same thing we all were weeks ago when it was announced, ie: why is it so low. At the time plenty of posters on here were speculating it was due to the threat of legal action from SISU and / or as the football league had made errors themselves with player...

The revenue (both matchday and from other events) goes to ACL, we did own 50% of that company but sold it to Higgs Trust. The £400K offer from ACL also had access to matchday revenue but not revenue from other events. Also worth mentioning that ACL have not paid a dividend so neither Higgs nor...

Was chatting to a Brighton supporter at Wembley on Friday and he made the mistake of asking about the situation we are currently in. Went through it with him and threw in my usual 'of course there's blame on both sides'. He asked the question what have ACL done wrong to be taking a share of the...

have they always done this? only ever seen them market the half season ticket before.

I keep hearing this from people who go to Sixfields however SP and the players when interview all seem to have a different opinion and talk about the empty stands, it seeming like a pre-season game etc.

I thought they said they were hoping to get some media coverage today hence picking this game when there's no premiership? If so then this particular protest has had the desired effect. I don't think anyone going to the hill today thought that by the final whistle Fisher would have changed his...
