    I'm getting a strange sense of deja vu here!

    Save the date: Fans forum booked for Fri 27 June @ 7pm, Coundon.

    Sepalla will have to show up for this won't she? SISU are going to look daft if they say everyone involved should be there to get it all out in the open and then the most important person from the clubs side doesn't attend.

    Save the date: Fans forum booked for Fri 27 June @ 7pm, Coundon.

    Has the forum ML proposed to discuss the finances in details been dropped now? This can't be it as there's no need for everyone else to be there for that.

    Rob, do you know who the third party is? That's a fairly important detail, we've had some proper loons in the past wanting to get involved so we need to establish if it is someone who is actually outside this whole thing and independent as well as being someone who is up to the job. It would...

    Who was the third party? I think if SISU are keen to get back round the table then they should release a statement stating what is going on. Either we are proceeding with the new ground but wish to talk about a temporary arrangement at the Ricoh or that there is no new ground and they want to...

    It's because polling day isn't the same all around Europe. They don't release any results until all countries have voted which will be Sunday. Would imagine they've already done the count as it wouldn't be very efficient to set everything up and get the counters in twice.

    For me the problem with the campaign was not that it targeted the council, I think most people accept that all sides have a share of the blame (and no, everyone doesn't need to start giving percentages again), but that it wasn't clear how they were going to achieve their aims. I think if you...

    pressley wouldnt turn this one down

    I love how on one hand people are saying its an easy job any idiot could do but on the other saying SP has no chance and he isn't ready for it! What would you prefer, a couple of easy years at Celtic playing in the Champions League and winning trophies then a move to a Prem or Championship side...

    And to think this whole situation

    I think anyone who works close to the line of legality as administrators can do carry the risk of overstepping the line but without any investigation no one will ever know. The biggest questions are around all the I don't know what I'm selling, where the share is, where the contracts are etc...

    Picture I took tonight of the Ricoh.

    The biggest problem with the Ricoh is that we've been rubbish since we moved and everytime we've had a big crowd and potentially a good atmosphere we've lost. I think you could pretty easily solve most problems with the Ricoh, close off the corners and back rows to condense the crowd. I would...

    How the NBA deals with divers

    Start at the top and work down. Every premier league game is covered on TV these days so have all that footage available and have an official go through it, any diving, OTT appealing to the ref etc then suspend the player for a couple of games. May seem harsh and it could be chaotic at first but...

    And to think this whole situation

    What I'd love to know, and I doubt we'll ever find out. Is net figures for everyone involved in the Richardson / Robinson / McGinnity era. It's all well and good saying such and such wrote off millions but if overall they made millions it's not such a hardship is it. My suspicion, for which I...

    Awaiting a call from Mr Tim Fisher

    I bloody hope that doesn't happen, after all this build up I just want a resolution. Imagine us all sat here ready to go and judge just goes 'you do realise you've come to the wrong place'.

    I'm a contractor, mainly logistics these days so I look at proposed tour routings and the tour requirements to see if its workable and then go from there. Done all sorts tho, working in the music business is a bit like being in a band, you start at the bottom travelling around in a shitty van...

    Would be nice, any result in the JR and goings on over the summer that brings a resolution is fine with me. Just get it over with and move on. If that means CCC or Higgs lose money or ACL ceases to exist then, sorry, but the club comes first and if this isn't sorted soon we're going to reach a...

    The music industry at that size of show is doing incredibly well. There are areas where the business is struggling, and there is certainly a struggle to find bands who can sustain stadium sized tours on a regular basis in the way the likes of Bon Jovi, Rolling Stones, U2 have but generally the...

    No promoter is going to give a second thought to any of those things, if they did there would never be a show at Milton Keynes Bowl, Donington Park or Knebworth. Promoters are concerned with punters turning up, the venue being up to scratch and logistics, that's pretty much it. I have no idea...

    You've made a huge leap there from me saying an ACL employee is talking absolute rubbish to me worshipping ACL, not entirely sure how you've got there. This is my area of work, booking these type of tours, so I thought I'd give my view, that's all. As you seem to know more about my area of...

    Also worth pointing out you would struggle to find a stadium venue in this country outside of Wembley which has staged shows every single year since 2006. Thats a very good record for the Ricoh. I would only be really concerned if we see two summers in a row without shows, that would indicate...

    Whoever that spokesman is at the Ricoh is talking absolute rubbish. The most likely reason for their not being any shows at the Ricoh this summer is simply that major artist touring cycles have coincided to give a year when there's a very limited number of stadium sized acts on tour. The world...
