what is really concerning is their failure to grasp the most basic facts of the situation. at the time that the groundshare was approved there was a agreement in place to play a the Ricoh, it's just that SISU were choosing to ignore it!

sure ACL will be making millions with parking at £2 a go.

The idea that this offer couldn't be considered legally as part of the CVA is clearly misdirection from SISU. It is obvious they can agree a deal before the CVA is signed as they had agreed one with Northampton. They could have accepted the offer, signed the agreement, ACL would have then signed...

doesn't just have to be for sale it has to be for sale at the right price. how much would SISU want? If we say our hardcore fanbase is as high as 10K a lot of them wouldn't be able to afford to invest in the club so say you had 5K who say they will make a financial commitment. Even if you can...

the fact that the Football League can not answer very simple straightforward questions tells you everything you need to know about how fit for purpose they are.

where did the 400K figure come from initially, I have a feeling it was from something Fisher said. See a pattern here. Fisher asks for 400K, ACL say OK. Fisher asks for F&B, ACL say OK we'll give you our share of matchday revenues and setup a meeting with compass. Fisher says £170K at NTFC is...

How many exciting games do we have a season? if people turn up expecting it to be like that every week they won't be hanging around long when they see what rubbish we usually have to put up with!

if they went to watch City more often they'd know the places to park where you can get away quick! that's not really an uncommon problem tho, I've sat in the car park at Milton Keynes Bowl, Wembley Stadium etc for hours after events.

that was specific to a grant they received wasn't it? the terms of that grant have probably expired by now so that won't have any bearing on what they do now. And wasn't that related to the freehold think ACL was created to get round those regulations, CCC retained 100% ownership as required but...

if this turns out to be true I'd love to listen in on Tim telling Joy that their plan to put ACL out of business is screwed.

Supposedly SISU were going to bring in AEG but nobody I knew who was working at AEG at the time knew anything about it. AEG are a huge company in sports and entertainment but as far as I know have no involvement in the conference industry. AEG own 50% of LA Galaxy among other teams and own or...

true, but I'm not sure they are going down that road as surely if you were up to no good you'd just keep paying the rent as you'd never want anyone to start digging further into the situation.

well I didn't think it was possible to be more astounded at the level of incompetence shown by the football league than I already was but clearly I was underestimating them!

any sale will be for the infamous £1 but the issue will be how much SISU want to write off the alleged £70m debt. They can say they aren't interested in selling all they want but there will be a figure (I would guess a certain % above the amount they have genuinely put in) which they would...

if that's a direct quote from Football League correspondence that is an appalling statement to make. they claim they can't get involved with the process of administration but then come out with things like that!

I don't think stadium 100% needs a team to be successful. None of us know how having 20 odd weekends a season being used for football impacts on other business. For all we know other events, be them stadium events or conference type events have been lost as the football has always had priority...

You do realise the Arena doesn't only open for CCFC matches?

I certainly would. And that's the reason why when historic music venues look like they're going to be closed down you have people protesting. Went onto The Place Station (the site for right to bid on community assets) and the first example of a community asset that came up was Old Trafford...

hope Fisher doesn't find out about these loans NTFC and the rugby club are getting from the council, everyone will be in court before you know it!

I assume they don't mean asset in terms of everyone living in Cov gets given a tenner every year out of the profits. They mean assets as in it generates jobs, brings people into the city therefore causing more money to be spent in the city. How many shows with the likes of Bon Jovi, Take That...
