Very sad news. A reminder of how precious life is.

Few clubs have started to get rid of the programme.

Glad that game is out of the way. Never want us to lose, but I want us to solely concentrate on the league

It’s an EFL thing. The prem started doing it last year so it’s to bring it into line

The mortgage will be with the club, as will the asset. When he says he will fund player purchases all he is doing is covering the loss the club makes from those purchases. The clubs debt will have increased massively now, but so will its assets.

The debt is all owed to Doug King, so the debt is the amount he’s put in. All other expenditure has been covered from income. People are over complicating it by trying to work out what has been covered by player sales etc.

No, just £30m + losses since April 2024. The club has bought the stadium, not Doug King. Yes he will be covering any losses for the additional cost of the mortgage/loan, but the debt is with the club and the asset is with the club.

Doug King hasn't paid for any of these things. CCFC have paid for them. What Doug has done is cover the losses generated by these things. From memory, the last set of published accounts (for 2023-24) he had put in about £30m. Most of that was converting existing debt into equity.

One thing we can say with certainly, is Mike Ashley & Frasers turned out to be the best landlords we ever had at the Arena!

No they were completely wrong to do that, as legally they didn't have a leg to stand on. Challenging the sale to Wasps was a moral one, not a legal one.

Sisu thought they could win a PR campaign against the council They did this AFTER spending several years proving themselves to be unfit and unproper owners of the club. If you're going to launch a PR campaign against an elected body, don't first spend several years pissing off the only people...

A club museum would be a great idea.

Can we now petition Doug to offer out regular stadium tours? I'd love to have a look behind the scenes and would raise a bit of cash for the club

It might be a bit confusing if we name all 4 stands the "Doug Stand".

Hasn't changed. Come the end of the 46 game season, I want us to be in Sunderlands position last year. Auto's are hard, but we're an established play off team now, we should expect that

Its like when you move into a great house with decor that isn't to your liking. You know its now yours, for as long as you want it. No one can take it away from you. So there is no need to rush with changing it

And that its a 250 year lease. None of us will ever see a CCFC home game outside the city again

Doug mentioned today about how the ground should reflect the identity of the club, and then in the press release said about how they will be working on this over time. My proposal is something along these lines. What else do you want to see?

Always remember my parents using the outdated name of "The Economic" to refer to the Cov Building Society. Not sure it should be revived. The "EBS" sounds like a bowel related medical condition. I don't want our ground to be linked to that.

If those figures are correct though, good deal for us and Frasers
