Pretty sure that ACL took out a loan with YB to buy the 50 year lease...which got me to thinking and probably this is a question for OSB. Not sure how much the lease cost but I see figures of £25m floating about... of which we know £14m remains. CCC were obviously paid this 25m for the lease...

Yeah same here - hit and miss - sometimes get an email not always.

Prob because it was 3500 or 0...

Grosvenor bought the company and downsized to make the business viable.

I guess the council get a mortgage for their 50% share?

We know that Sisu wanted to become the mortgage holder for ACL and effectively get the interest on CCC share of the rent. But regardless if the loan with CCC was on better terms, it ultimately boils down to the share of the loaded debt on the asset they were buying - 14m vs the distressed price...

Everyone here automatically assumes that just because the Higgs are a charity that they cannot possibly be wrong - lets go collect money for them etc... what if they were in the wrong? Now we all know that some part of this agreement stated costs to be paid by Sisu if the deal collapsed, but...

For some reason, even though I was using a ST alongside my membership it would only allow me to buy 2 on my membership and 2 on the ST. I had to go into the shop to get the 5th ticket... as it happens they are selling different blocks in the shop which are more behind the goal than the ones...

To be fair... if the end result was a stadium that didn't need a massive amount of finance then it kinda makes alot of sense. Rugby have said no... move on... it hardly seems like a disheartening legal wrangle but what do I know...

Hence why Sisu said the stadium would be owned by a separate company...

right ... so it might be something else... come on smite us we're CCFC and we can clearly take it!

Isn't this the same thing as http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/41143-FAO-OSB-amp-other-finance-people-Otium-changes that was posted yesterday? OSB didn't seem too alarmed at the time...

I'm wondering if this will be a "fast" direct train as opposed to the 2230 & 2330 that take 1hr 40.... I guess my advance ticket on the 2330 will not be any use in any case... damn :)

IF Nuneaton moved into the Ricoh, then in theory CCC could not refuse PP in the city on the basis that there is a suitable stadium. Obv there is a million other things they could refuse PP for but in theory would a new anchor tenant at the Ricoh mean that a stadium in the city boundary would be...

Its more of a concern than the Hinkley rumors that's for sure... would Sisu respond by buying Liberty Way and developing it.... lol

Groundhog Day!!!!!

They could yes, but per AL statement on radio today she believes Higgs are not interested in a sale... and I suppose that probably stems back to the deal that fell through. Once bitten twice shy and all that...

Can't fault any of what you have wrote. The key points here are, fans suffer, and ultimately the council will end up suffering in the long run if they either force the club out of the city or force it bust. Yeah we don't like the owners of the club, but for the love of god try and figure out...

Probably because Tesco would only buy the land once it was decontaminated... but I am sure there would have been contracts in place that banks would have loaned money against...
