Totally agree with this. Until the point that ML or TF can clearly explain how the route they are taking will benefit the club this option should constantly be talked about and put to them. They've said lots of things that have turned out not to be true, I see no reason to take this at face...

More good news for SISU! They've already said the stadium won't be in the city and at the moment this poll shows nearly 85% of people saying they won't attend in those circumstances. Have they done even the slightest bit of market research into how many fans are going to turn up to this new stadium?

What's the score with appeals? Is it allowed or do we go through the whole JR process again with a slightly different claim from SISU. If appeals are allowed how long can it go on for, is it one appeal and that's it or more open ended.

So the argument now is not only that we should be given a low / free rent or given the ground for free we should now be expecting ACL to pay us to come back???

Given that they are both older grounds who pays the maintenance on those? No idea what maintenance costs on older grounds generally are but as a point of reference I know Pompey had to borrow half a million to even get to the standard of getting a safety certificate this season and speaking to...

He has to get the important things sorted first, if we're paying 2p a page to photocopy instead of 1p the club could be in big trouble!

Tim claimed a lot of things, not sure I'd be taking his word on anything :D

This is what doesn't make sense. The vast majority of teams don't have stadiums with the additional facilities the Ricoh has so the extra revenue we're talking about is F&B (off the top of my head wasn't this quoted by ACL as being a profit of 100K) and letting out a couple of function rooms on...

Is this really the case? At Sixfields it is for sure but at the Ricoh was there no club presence other than on matchday? What about the club shop and club offices? I'm sure those operating businesses locally can tell us the going rate for the square footage used by the club, you'd really need to...

Bingo! SISU have done well here as they've managed to convince everyone it's about the rent and pie money. Just look at the threads on here. Yet if you look at the offers currently on the table it is clear that is nothing to do with it yet it's all anyone talks about.

Given that you've said we've never seen the details how can you assume it would have been £1.2-£1.3m in the championship?

This argument only really works if the rental amount could be shown to be the cause of our problems but looking at the accounts it clearly isn't. Look at % of income spent on wages! look at the cost of interest payments. Even if the rent had been zero we would still have tens of millions of...

Are you sure? What were ACL talking about when they were saying the club could have their share (70 something % I think) and arrange a meeting with Compass to discuss access to their share?

There's no way in the world Cardoza hasn't taken costs into account when calculating the rent. It's just that he's given a flat rate for everything rather than splitting it out. If you're looking to compare and ACL offer the Ricoh for free plus costs are we therefore saying Northampton would...

What it really needs is a small group of people (I think we all know an obvious candidate) to publicly quiz Labovich. The problem with the forums is things go way off on a tangent and you get some right idiots asking pointless questions and when they sidestep answering a meaningful question it's...

We know SISU have been a total disaster running the club, we know Fisher comes across as a smug buffoon and appears to have been pushed aside - probably for that reason. What I don't understand is no matter how incompetent they are at running the club surely it can't be that difficult to find...

Anyone catch this bit of info in the CT regarding ACL not having recieved their money owed. So it seems there was a clear contract in place but now SISU have decided it was too much and aren't paying it, where have I heard that before! Full article is here...

The fans forums where Fisher said we would have all the details in a couple of weeks were at the start of June.

The whole 'coming out' thing is very odd. Just the whole idea of it implies that it is a big deal. Frankly I couldn't care less who is or isn't gay in any context let alone the England team. I'm nore concerned about them doing as well as they possibly can in the World Cup and this kind of thing...

I was under the impression the reason they could now offer these terms was due to the ACL restructuring and refinancing.
