It's the station and the infrastructure owning the Ricoh and CCFC would be icing on the cake.

The station is worth fuck all it's a sideshow. The whole line is only going to cost c£10m.

Exactly, they are not interested in the Ricoh and especially not the Club. It's an end to a means.

Do you then favour the Haskell bid?

I know I do.

No the club and the Ricoh as I said would just be a nice cherry on the top.

We don't know enough about it. To me it sounds similar to Byng bid, but instead of the rail network it's the surrounding land for development is the main priority and the football club second.

Yes, he wants the Ricoh for it's potential and not for other motives.

The IMF said that the UK economy would face risks if growth rates did not improve.
"Persistent slow growth could permanently damage medium-term growth prospects – this could arise if private sector deleveraging is larger than expected, credit conditions fail to improve, external demand does not pick up, and the drag from fiscal consolidation is greater than anticipated," it said.
The IMF said that whilst it is "essential" that the UK's "large structural fiscal deficit" is reduced, it said that its plans to do so "pose headwinds to growth". To address the issue, the Government should bring forward plans it has already outlined to invest in infrastructure projects, it said.
"Bringing forward planned capital investment where possible ... would help catalyze private investment and spur much-needed growth," the IMF said. "Alongside this, well-designed public guarantees could be used to facilitate private investment."

Here is a report done by Byng about returning the disused Stonebridge Railway to service as a way of bringing passengers to the Birmingham Airport HS2 interchange.

http://www.railnews.co.uk/content/documents/whitacre_v2.pdf

Or the huge rail development the Byng fronted consortium want to finance in the area.

I agree, but I would suggest that developing the land around the Ricoh would/could still have a benefical impact on the club.

Only if its done under the clubs umbrella, otherwise it could realistically just be a separate side venture.

Does anyone know when or if Paul Appleton has set a date to announce the chosen bidder, or do we all think Sisu are nailed on to buy LTD back.

Yeah it would have to be done with the club owning the Ricoh (or more likely just owning ACL).

No fixed date, there is a creditors' meeting next week, I think we should know more by then.
