So the business plan for the new stadium is SISU use investors money, the investors get no short term return at all, SISU take no rental payment and all the club pays is match day costs (although why we'd be paying those when Fisher keeps moaning about it being unreasonable to have to pay them...

Was wondering that, it's a big leap. Even if SISU win the JR there's nothing to say that either ACL having to pay back the council or the council having to pay SISU compensation will happen. Even if ACL did have to pay back the council they may be able to source alternative funding and even if...

Bollocks it's 2014 what are you on about you SISU lover :D

Pretty sure they would. They'd have generic stands etc already rendered so they just have to change the colouring, put in a generic background and off they go. Can give you as many artists impressions as they want from any angle.

To a pro that would not have taken much work at all as they would already have all the elements rendered and ready to go. If you look at Brentfords proposed stadium (rejected by them as showing a lack of ambition) which happened to be by the same company it was exactly the same design just with...

I'm not averse to any approaches from anyone about selling my house, doesn't mean there's someone waiting to buy it or they're going to offer me what I'd want. Seems to me these chaps have seen the story in the CT and hope they can flip the land for a quick profit without having to do any work.

Doesn't really come as a surprise, was not going to run by anyone who likes the Ricoh was it! Surprised these two were here, makes it even more depressing that noone questioned them on the FOI revalations. CBRE are the ones supposed to be sorting out the land purchase, who better to ask...

Are you sure she's not a sponsor? This seems to indicate she is: http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/demarco-highlights-sponsorship-1005537.aspx

The fact that not one person mentioned the FOI requests tells you exactly what type of audience this was.

Do they cost anything to put in these requests? Maybe the trust should do the all the next nearest councils and really pile the pressure on. I hope someone from the trust has formally approached the Football League with the results of the FOI requests. There must surely be a point at which the...

Doesn't seem like there is much there that isn't green belt until you hit Northampton.

Not sure if that was directly from Fisher / Labovich or one of the CT articles but it's certainly been put out there that they were preferred bidders.

By now I would expect the sites to be at least known to us, possibly purchased, and plans available for us to see. We're nowhere near that. In fact we're not very far on from where we were when Fisher said months ago at the fans forums that we'd have all the info in a couple of weeks.

I did wonder if there were roughly 6 month milestones that SISU had to report back to the FL on. We got the drawing about 6 months in, was that for their benefit to buy some more time?

In all seriousness discounting the councils who have already been approached how many miles outside of Cov are we talking for the next closest? Didn't somewhere get specified as the point the distance was measured from (the council house maybe)?

This could be a very interesting meeting! Surely SISU are going to have to try and put some sort of statement out before this meeting given what's been revealed in the last couple of days. How long can they keep the pretence up. They need to either get on with the new stadium or come clean...

Not sure you can even count Nuneaton and Bedworth as the first one. They aren't in any sort of talks or negociations with them. They had an initial enquiry and have heard nothing since.

Have you got any quote since Ann Lucas has been in charge categorically stating they will not sell the Ricoh as all the quotes I've seen say the opposite.

Have you got a link to these plans then as no one else has seen them. Even if you had started the JR before 'moving on' why would you keep pursuing it if you have no interest in the stadium anymore, it makes no sense to be spending out on legal fees for no reason. If they are that concerned...

So make an offer! If they think the council won't accept a serious offer then put one in and call their bluff. They might get a bit more support from the fans if they can show they've made an effort to do anything. At the moment they're refusing to talk to the council or ACL and aren't aren't in...
