    CT interview with ACL chairman

    Speedway needs a big gap between track & seats, all that shale gets thrown up, the Arena stadium design isn't really suitable and anyway Speedway is small beer, crowds of 2000 maybe? Robinson said this.. So that should mean a profit will show up when the accounts are published at the end of...

    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    I think most people do, but remember the ACL business has worth, wasn't £6.5M the distressed figure that has been mentioned, so the hook is about £8M. If the ACL lease is extended then ACL's value goes up and if a new the hotel is built on car park C it should probably increase the value as...

    Tonights Results (For Those That Still Care)

    Also City have 1 or 2 games in hand on 7 of the teams below. It seems very unlikely they will go down this season.. they would have to get no wins in the remaining 15 games, if they average a point a game they will end up with 52 pts which should be enough.

    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    So I take it by the massive interest in this topic no one actually thinks SISU have moved on and will build a new stadium.

    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    I always thought the idea put forward by SISU was to pay Yorkshire bank £7M to clear the £14M 'risky' loan. However I surmise that the catch was that debt and certain revenue streams would become transferred to SISU/CCFC leaving ACL vulnerable to a hostile takeover. Also an admission of the...

    'Series of hotels' to be built at Ricoh Arena

    And you say that without a trace of irony when the owners in fact specialise in "event driven investments in high yield and distressed debt securities for the restructuring of industrial companies".

    Boycott of Home Games v Lack of Squad Investment

    By that logic if the club loses money at the Ricoh and at Northampton there is no business case for SISU to sustain the club, it is just an exercise in throwing good money after bad.

    Accounts - just a heads up

    Good point, probably quite low.

    Accounts - just a heads up

    I am not sure, just found this http://www.ricoharena.com/news/jacky-isaac-appointed-ceo/ It says.. IEC Experience Limited is the joint venture company between ACL and Compass Group UK. I'm sure OSB knows the details.. I'm just googling stuff..

    Accounts - just a heads up

    I think the general scope of the Compass/ACL deal is discussed in this article, though it is now 4 years old. https://www.catererandhotelkeeper.co.uk/Articles/31/3/2009/326945/compass-signs-125m-deal-at-coventry-city-fc-s-ricoh-arena.htm As I understand it that is the same area as SISU have...

    Call for more pressure on FA & FL

    He didn't get the fixfootball.co.uk petition link in the story. It must be uncomfortable on that fence where he is sitting.

    Protest inside Sixfields

    I simply won't go to Sixfields and I don''t intend to encourage anyone else to, NOPM is the only way to pressurise SISU, if they had a sell out they would be pissing themselves laughing at us.

    The Official Petition Thread

    Could it be anything to do with losing 1-2 at "home"? PS When are the DCMS going to respond, I thought they had put something in writing when the signatures hit 10,000?

    Set backs

    The minute the results go bad the pack will be after him, that is the way it works. I think the physical differences between a team with a number of players under 21 and a team mostly composed of players in the 23-30 age range will tell more if conditions are heavy.

    Judicial Review date confirmation

    Link above was broken, this should work http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-date-set-judicial-6726045 Anyway to summarise, it is most likely Jun 10th.

    You can't tell me...

    At some point there is a cross over when the potential gain is outstripped by the losses incurred staying at Sixfields. Another way to reduce them is another relegation.

    Pressley lines up Kris Boyd in summer swoop

    The story originated in the Daily Record http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/coventry-city-line-up-summer-swoop-3140308 Probably concocted by Boyd's agent & fed to a Glasgow journalist.
