So the OP is inferring a new stadium is not viable for our football club and we should simply consider paying rent only to play on a pitch at the Ricoh without any sharing of other monies generated there? And before you misleadingly talk of 'pie' money not helping, you as an accountant should...

Considering it.

A modular stadium is the way these days. MK Dons are doing it. The increase could be done during the close season. As for the practicality of the location and the cost scenario it is difficult to match them up. A lot would depend on the developers requirements and the council. Planning can be...

If we could get Emmauel-Thomas I would push Moussa up front.

Come on guys, who can get in and quickly? Some say get someone like Phillips who could do a job the rest of the season. Some want to try the kids and look at a goal getter in the lower leagues for inspiration (we tried that before with Cody McDonald and others) So what's the answer to...

...and he needed to be at the game in Northampton to do this?

A striker currently top scorer in this division and on the face of it a good finisher, will attract attention from other clubs at this time of year looking to strengthen for either promotion pushes or to stave off relegation in a higher league. But it must be remembered the way Coventry play...

There would have to be player involvement....and there was I wondering why we leaked so many goals from simple player error? Lets hope I just have a very suspicious and conspiracy way of looking at things and this has no meat on the bones.

If we win tomorrow. Who's fit? Do we have Leon?

Yes they can! A stadium is an entirely different situation from a few warehouses and shops.

I would imagine planning consent would almost certainly fail. If a city has a perfectly desirable stadium in the area it does not need two!

Interesting thoughts in these threads. I will say though that you have to think outside the box a little more to find the answers... IF a new stadium was to be built then SISU would not be paying for it (certainly not up front) A developer would finance and build it. Eventually it would be...

I see what you are thinking and would at first thought seem reasonable but not logical or sensible. Not offered formally anyway and who in their right minds would seek a free rent followed by low rent deal leading to eventual ownership? What's the point? What's the thinking behind that...

Last I looked Astute we still had a football club kicking a ball around in Northampton and 20 odd other football league grounds week in week out? Though not ideal it never the less has happened. The club was only paying rent to play on a pitch at the Ricoh and use a few offices. That clearly was...

Arhh you list your occupation as 'Jaguar Land Rover' and have been a CCFC supporters since age 7. Apart from acting like you are still age 7, we have a lot more in common than you might think :)

Could the stadium happen? My view is yes but less likely. If all else fails I see a stadium being developed but I think it's highly more likely a return to the Ricoh will eventually come to fruition when the council, ACL and the football club owners stop their spats and put a sensible offer and...

I was away for a month cruising round the Med with clients then I moved house and BT Open Reach took over 2 months to connect me, yesterday! (They will pay dearly) - VOR I'm even closer to you now :) I see we have a few newbies joined too.

...as I thought same old, same old.

Reading through some post, absolutely nothing. ;)

Over time facts get blurred. The 50% share has a buy back option that may still be in place. It does not provide access to income streams. The 10 year rent deal was never formally offered to the football club. JP made reference to ownership, this may infer leasehold not necessarily freehold...
