The non match day revenue. It will at last be under CCFC ownership for which the stadium was built for ! Where have you beenWhat's the point?
was told an interesting rumour yesterday at the game but not sure if it makes financial sense for frasers though, apparently DK has brought the pitch ....meaning no more concerts played on it....can't imagine that they would want to lose that revenue. Maybe we are buying the CBS in installments lol. Announcement at the end of the season, like i said not sure if there is much in this but thought it was worth a shareIf we were to get promoted would we prefer DK go all out to purchase the Arena or invest the Premier League money in the squad ?
Think I would want the Arena and let the scouts have a little less cash !
Would definitely put that sorry story of last 15 years to bed even if he has to overpay !

There was a story very recently that said the club had taken over maintenance of the pitch , I guess that’s what it was .was told an interesting rumour yesterday at the game but not sure if it makes financial sense for frasers though, apparently DK has brought the pitch ....meaning no more concerts played on it....can't imagine that they would want to lose that revenue.

Ashley got it for a bargain, £17m.Would Coventry people and supporters spend more money in the stadium if we owned it ?! Would the F & B profits outweigh maintenance costs ?
Why did Ashley want to own it ?! Is he getting his investment back slowly?

Exactly this. I know they needed to refurb parts of it but I'd bet they would want to double their money on it. If it's a loss making asset not much point in buying it.Ashley got it for a bargain, £17m.
I don’t think Mile Ashley and co are into 25 years leases.Exactly this. I know they needed to refurb parts of it but I'd bet they would want to double their money on it. If it's a loss making asset not much point in buying it.
Better to get a 25 year lease as long as the terms aren't extortionate.
How do you know? They have a loss making asset and someone offers them a substantial amount of garunteed money for 25 years. They are very good business people so unless they plan on knocking it down and building something else they are quite limited in what they can do with it.I don’t think Mile Ashley and co are into 25 years leases.

So why do we want it if it’s a loss making asset?
I'm not sure we do. If it's loss making we are better to lease it if we can get reasonable terms. Unless Doug has a master plan to turn it into a profit making asset. It's over 20 years old now and there aren't many years that I can remember it made a profit.
Not a rumour it was in the forum noteswas told an interesting rumour yesterday at the game but not sure if it makes financial sense for frasers though, apparently DK has brought the pitch ....meaning no more concerts played on it....can't imagine that they would want to lose that revenue.

Unfortunately or fortunately whichever way you want to look at it cause of developments down the M6, I don't really think The CBS will be getting many more big name pitch concerts in the future tbhwas told an interesting rumour yesterday at the game but not sure if it makes financial sense for frasers though, apparently DK has brought the pitch ....meaning no more concerts played on it....can't imagine that they would want to lose that revenue.

I like that once again this forum is dictating the narrative on the lease situationWould be great to have a 100 year lease and real investment in the surrounding areas to turn the place into a place to be.
But we can only dream can't we
Rather have him push for PL survival and kick on. 100%
One big reason is money.There's a reason there were no concerts last summer and none booked in this summer
Doug doesn't want the stadium. And rightly so. It costs much more to run than anyone could dream
It's not made a profit in the 20 years it's been here, even with the likes of Oasis, Bryan Adams etc having played here. There's a reason for that. And a reason why the council couldn't wait to fuck it off to Wasps when they rocked up
Frasers will deffo make a better fist of it, but they will soon realise it's a white elephant
The absolute clusterfuck of entrance and exits at the Harry Styles concerts etc have absolutely scared promoters off of using the gaff. There's a reason there were no concerts last summer and none booked in this summer for the stadium bowl, it's basically a laughing stock of an arena amongst that industry
I'm 99% certain we will have the 10 year licence in play by the summer, Doug won't want to pay the fine, Frasers won't want the bad press of not being able to agree a deal with us.
As for long term future, again, Frasers may well want more cash, but they aren't fucking idiots like wasps, they know that the club are now the only show in town for making any sort of profit in the place, and won't be getting rid of us

Thats fine, but he can't moan then about rentDoug doesn't want the stadium. And rightly so. It costs much more to run than anyone could dream
The truth is , one way or another the Arena has brought thousands of people into Coventry that otherwise would not have visited, whether that be football fans both home and away, concert visitors or exhibition and hotel visitors , they all come spending money in the City and the local tax take and job creation overall would suggest that the Council should in reality subsidise the rental cost for the football club. They owe us big time for their previous misdemeanours and decisions.
Concerts at the stadium don't use the entrances and exits.
Villa Park seems to have a few this summer, they must have spent money improving their entrances and exits because it was very dated a few years back.
Ashley needs to spend the money because clearly they've lost our this summer.
It’s a community asset and one that brings in a lot of money to the area. The council subsidises plenty more useless fuckers sitting in hotels etc with public money!I'm not really sure local taxpayers should be subsidising a private business
