Off the top of my head I can think of AMG, AEG, SMG, Lloyds (to sit alongside the newly acquired Genting Arena and Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham), Eventim. Sure there's lots more that I'm not aware of hence why you should engage a specialist to ensure you reach all potential purchasers.

Maybe you could point me to some of the marketing material they sent out to potential purchasers, locally, nationally and internationally stating that ACL was for sale with a 210 year lease extension.

Doesn't matter how narrow the market is you should properly place it on that market to ensure every potential buyer is aware of its availability and on what terms. You're right many people didn't believe anyone else would be interested but the very fact there was indicates they were wrong and...

I think an open and honest sale process should have taken place where any potential buyer was able to bid on the same thing. IMO that is the only way to achieve best return. If that process had taken place there would have been huge pressure on SISU to bid. If they didn't and someone else...

Certainly wasn't and by not having an open and competitive market the council can't possibly claim to have got the best return possible for the taxpayer.

We have some valuations on which to decide if a fair price was paid. Council's Arena Construction Report from June 2006: The Council's freehold interest in the Arena, i.e. the market value that could be obtainedfrom the sale of the freehold with the existing ACL lease in place, has been...

On RCC's twitter there's a video of him at a school playing against a couple of kids. One of them takes him out!

He played in Snoz's testimonial but now you mention it I can't remember any appearance from him since then.

What happened?

Or you just completely made that up.

I doubt anyone would pay but if he could get a few quid for Burge or Thomas I would let them go.

Can I be Bill Murray?

Tell the truth. Tell the truth.

Is online ticketing down for anyone else or just me? Edit: panic over, Tim's put another quid in the meter and its up again.

Certainly not going to help them. Have a feeling it will be worse for Burton.

Same for me Vote - Oggy Decade - 80s

If you go back to the start of the thread you will see most people agree there is a need for some clarity over what is going on but question why the trust, who have been silent for months, suddenly issued a statement. That came hot on the heels of a story in the CT about Wasps potentially taking...

Probably be quite tricky to get a grant from them if they don't exist anymore :laugh: did anything similar replace it or do it just get cut? EDRF has state aid implications, can't be used to distort the market so might be a non starter even if stadium redevelopment did meet their criteria.

Its possible of course, we don't know any of the details so pretty much anything is possible. For all we know it could be a 80K underground stadium :p
