Think they mean a day less don't they? If we were playing on the Thursday and now we're playing on the Friday how is it a day more to prepare for a game the following week or am I missing something obvious?

It's on BT Sport not ITV so unless you're one of the handful of BT Sport subscribers it's the Emirates or the pub to see the game.

ACL paid £21m for a 50 year lease back in 2006 didn't they? So at the end of this season the lease will have 41 years left to run. If you were to 'wind up' ACL wouldn't you need to repay them on a pro rata basis, so a repayment of £17.22m (that's just the lease, it may well be the more senior...

I find it hard to believe there was an arguement on here :p

Admittedly only had a quick look but it appears that there are no details for the second meeting. Been told of someone who has sent several emails to the club and Ms Garlick asking for the details but has had no response. Maybe if they'd have had 2 meetings in the same week people wouldn't have...

Where and when is the second meeting?

Is it online anywhere? That seems very bizzare that they would question what ACL paid, if they paid more wouldn't the rent have needed to be even higher?!

That's pretty much what I think it will be. We've already got an artists impression which we had zero input on, can't imagine we'll get any input on the actual plans or details so it will be little things that make real differece and could be done at the Ricoh anyway if we moved back there.

On what grounds? They paid millions for it, surely they can't on the one hand be after everything seemingly on the cheap and on the other be complaining ACL got a good deal on buying the lease?!

What else are they taking about then? If you look at the artists impression of the proposed stadium it doesn't look like there's space for a conferernce centre or casino or anything else for that matter so it can't be those revenues they need. Given the lower capacity it would be highly unlikley...

If we come back I'd like to see the Trust get involved in something like that. You could also get a building wrap (easy to take down if it's not wanted for other events) and maybe copy the Emirates and have things on the streetlight poles approaching the ground.

makes you wonder how much they actually get wrong. obviously we pick up on this as it relates to us but how many other things they state as fact about other teams are wrong?

ACL wouldn't sell the lease you would purchase ACL. Well Higgs agreed to sell their 50% to SISU but SISU never followed through on the deal. That would have surely been a good place to start. SISU have never made an offer to purchase the councils half of ACL outright. If you think the lease...

Exactly, most grounds you go to it's the away fans creating the atmosphere. The Ricoh wasn't especially bad or good (or though I have been told something was done when it was designed relating to the roof to ensure any noise stayed within the bowl), everytime there's been a big crowd there we've...

Ownership of the freehold brings zero revenue until ACLs lease is up for renewal which is something like 40 years off. To get the revenues you need the leasehold which is currently ownered by ACL. Of course we had an option to buy 50% of that back which SISU never exercised instead putting an...

I think it's a worthwhile exercise. At the very least some of the things mentioned in recent weeks are now there in black and white. In the event of either side distorting from these facts we now have this to refer back to. To me it paints both ACL and CCC in a better light than SISU. They have...

Not sure about Fratton Park, been zero atmosphere every time I've been there.

I wouldn't be keen on another team being moved here, unless their supporters were in favour of it of course. Does the Super League have any plans to expand, could there be a new team here? Have no idea at all how things work in Rugby. If Nuneaton were to go up is their ground up to league...

That's all well and good but so far no one had been able to name one person who was 'bleating on' about NOPM and is now saying they will go to Arsenal. Seems the only people who do keep going on about NOPM are either WUMs or Sixfields attendees. No problem with someone being taken to task if...

Slight problem of SISU wanting about £60m for it!
