    Lowest crowd since 1962

    I can see your point that if the future is a slow death then when not try anything else as it can't be any worse. For me we need to see a serious potential new owner make clear their intentions publicly. Should that happen, and their plans stand up to scrutiny, I think there would be a lot of...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Not according to the council, only yesterday Lucas stated as fact that the Ricoh was always intended to be a multi-franchise stadium. What you're written there is basically agreeing with Fishers original argument, that we were providing the funding but not getting the benefits. Yet the council...

    Sky Blues Trust Response To Lucas Revelations

    But they must have already approved that so they aren't going to take any further interest until we reach the end of it.

    Lowest crowd since 1962

    But what are you considering a well run business. If and when we reach championship level we're competing with teams who have owners who are happy to lose millions, not to mention teams who have parachute payments. A well run business is surely one that isn't losing money, isn't this SISU's...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    I would guess that SISU have their lawyers very carefully examining claims made by CCC and Higgs regarding ACL and the loan during the JR. If they find that the same statements made to the public, that turned out to be untruthful, were made in court I would think they have strong grounds for...

    SISU OUT group issue open letter to Tim Fisher

    So lets assume you are right and there is at least one group wishing to takeover the club. To date what have they done to make this happen? Have they made SISU aware of their interest, have they asked SISU what they would consider an acceptable offer, have they submitted an offer and had it...

    Sky Blues Trust Response To Lucas Revelations

    Why would the FL get involved? We are currently playing in Coventry so they aren't going to get involved in anything.

    Sky Blues Trust Response To Lucas Revelations

    I can't imagine if someone wanted to come in and do to us what has happened at Chelsea, Man City or even Southampton anyone would be complaining we weren't fan owned.

    Lowest crowd since 1962

    I think there's a real danger that with the council selling the stadium to Wasps not only can things not improve under SISU, it will be near impossible for any other owner to achieve success unless they are willing to but in millions with no return. Even with the crowds as low as they are we...

    Steven Pressley stamps on rumours he's lost the dressing room

    I can understand him not throwing Webster under the bus but he makes him sound like the greatest defender there is playing today! He's done nothing here but made himself look stupid.

    Strong Claims about CCC/CET

    One of the things that came out yesterday, which CCC had previously denied, was that taxpayers money had been used to provision the loan to ACL. That fact alone makes it in the public interest. I don't see any circumstances in which taxpayers money is put at risk that it isn't in the interests...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    This all started before the rent strike. Fisher had two main thrusts to his argument. That the rent was too high and that ACL were reliant on the club - basically the club were financing ACL through the rent but receiving none of the benefits. Unbelievable, and I never thought this would be...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Lucas clearly stated yesterday one Wasps game will bring millions into the local economy, how is that correct? Any ticket money, revenue from F&B etc will go to Wasps so straight out of the city. The only spend that will benefit the city is in pubs around the ground and things like that. Even if...

    Weirdest place you've seen something CCFC related?

    Saw an old city shirt in a random bar in New York.

    Does you son support us or could he become a Leicester supporter?

    Strong Claims about CCC/CET

    Wouldn't you have to extend that across the board? What about people who are accused of rape or other sexual offences and then found to be completely innocent after weeks or months of the accusations being all over the papers.

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    I don't know how anyone can read that Q&A at the end of the Observer article and not be fuming. To me if CCC didn't have something to hide you'd see straight answers to simple questions. As for claiming the match against Leinster will bring millions into the city what a joke. What evidence do...

    Strong Claims about CCC/CET

    It's hard to know what to believe these days, we all thought Fisher was bonkers when he kept banging on about ACL being in trouble, turns out he was right! Whatever you think of Reid he's clearly not an idiot and given his line of work you'd expect him to know the sort of trouble he can get it...

    Strong Claims about CCC/CET

    Is there not a way to report things like this, can't you just say Fred is claiming this and then quote something. That's not saying you think it's true is it, or does posting / reporting it in any form leave you open to problems?
