Yes, sure everyone does..... Name one thing people on here blame SISU for that is not CCFC related in some way?

You are either on a wind up or on the sauce. No-one apart from, perhaps, yourself thinks we are being closed down. There is a theoretical threat, as the CT has pointed out, but we are far from a final decision and it is Easter. Nothing is happening.

Point being that, unless you are the catering company or the main event organiser, you are going to have to subcontract. The subcontractor will want his whack as well. This has an effect on the revenues.

Yes you bollox, I do know and have booked my flight home for it. I have to come 1300 km so I cannot make it as often as you. I hope you are enjoying your wind up.

Exactly. They bought in for millions and want a return on investment. The new CCFC stadium would generate more revenue, but how much? Outside event organisers and caterers will take their whack. So.... the percentage they take would reduce the 365 days revenue which is always being mentioned as...

I think you missed my point. It is interesting to see how much revenue a stadium in Coventry generates. The rhetoric for building a new stadium is that we need 365 days a year revenue to fund the club. We also need to pay a rent to the investors for building the stadium. The question is whether...

How many lawyers and courts are working over the Easter period? I think you know that nothing will happen until after Easter.

"have we been closed down?" Is a sensationalist question. Nothing will or can happen until after Easter and you know that, but I hope the CT or an award winning journalist tells us what became of the "threat" as soon as the Easter holidays are over.

Exactly. If it said we were being wound up, then Grendel would have a point. Nothing will happen over Easter, but it would be nice to know if the "threat" has been dealt with. A meeting between the parties ended with a handshake and a joint statement that the issue has been settled would boost...

Either way, no-one has said that we are being closed down. "Threatened" or "theoretically" is accurate. The whole thread is just an invention to beat the CT with. A typical "no news day" on SBT.

Are you saying that the 365 revenues won't be all that much because caterers and guest organisers take their cut first? Would be interesting to know how much the stadium generates in order to calculate how long a new stadium for us would take to pay for itself.

used to to be a Barman at the Climax in the 70's. Worked for Jed. Had my 21 birthday party upstairs. So, I may have served you in '75 or '76.

maybe be he is showing that having a long term lease is at least as good as owning the stadium outright as you get income from 30000 plus events either way. Still I can't speak for him. I would like to see Wasps accounts for the first year at the Ricoh when they come out, but that won't be til...

That's a short comment. Nothing relevant to say in reply?

The people who have repeatedly lowered my morale are not the people reporting on this long running saga, but those in charge of CCFC. Those that could adopt a more morale boosting attitude by dropping the eternal JRs and concentrating on sorting out the stadium problem. Fruitless chats with...

Need a bigger table for that...

The bit that says "threatens"? I cannot Believe that gullible fools read that as "Club will be liquidated at end of March". Would be nice to know if the Threat has been removed though.

Basically it boils down to the fact that they have virtually nothing to sell or nothing that anyone wants to buy. They missed the boat by starting the season at Sixfields and assuming they would have very few customers. Now they won't stock up until the close season in preparation for next...

are there employees that have experience in building new stadiums? I think the new stadium idea, from what we ( don't ) know at the moment, seems unviable. Has TF ever engaged a company to come up with alternative ideas - e.g. for an investment around the Ricoh? Or why don't SISU have a meeting...

I thought we were on a cheap rent deal with no thrills. I hope the guy selling has enough stock for 365 Days...
