Can you ask this question too:

Why don't Sisu purchase the Ricoh in full it cant be much more than £35 Million (new stadium build cost). They will have to wait for compass contract to end, as far as I am aware they signed a 10 year contract 8 or 9 years ago, Sisu just waits for the contract to end then they have the food and beverage.

Please, please don't bring up finance AGAIN ffs. It will give Fisher who is one smart cookie the excuse to waffle on eat time and get away from the burning issue, WHERE ARE WE PLAYING COME AUGUST 3rd. I keep saying finance is history, we know the stories, almost becoming a book at bed time. Nothing can be done about historical inaccuracies, and if there are any that admin bloke should confront that. I have been to both forums, kept my powder dry and need to go to Mondays, anyone got a spare invite. I promise i won't let you down.

Morning !

I am going to the Forum on Monday and want to ask questions about Holdings accounts. Are you able to provide me with any information beforehand ?

1. What is the value of assets in Holdings and what are these assets ?
2. What is the amount of liabilities in Holdings and what are these liablities ?
3. When funds were injected into "the club" were these funds injected into Holdings ?
4. How are funds injected shown in the accounts ?
5. Can you confirm therefore that the debt owed in respect of funds injected is that of Holdings not CCFC Ltd.

I am hoping this will provide a commercial value of Holdings.

Thank you. Will you be going on Monday ?

With respect why bother?

Supporters thinking they can out wit a financial hedge fund and catch them out is fantasy land.

What are you hoping to achieve.

People really need to get them to explain how they managed to get this 3 year plan signed off. Yes finances play a part but only in terms of profit projection.

All organisations will research customer impact. The customer will always be at the top of the brand pyramid. The impact has to be assessed not just on the 3 years but also they must have evualated long term impact of moving. Some loyal consumers will move away not to return. All organisations must adopt a customer first approach.

So what do they think the impact will have on the customer?

What is the long term risk assessment on customer retention after 3 years.

If it is a 10 year model how does any forecast projection on a worse case analysis do anything but lose a fortune.

This plan would never be signed off by any business particularly bearing in mind the organisation in question loses money and has lost money for some considerable time even with better and better projected revenues.

Anyone suggesting moving a business from where its only consumers purchase and funding losses to return with what has to be damaged long term customer loyalty will be deemed mad.

This plan will not happen. It can't happen. If it does the conclusion is they want to lose money.

I am going to the Forum on Monday and want to ask questions about Holdings accounts. Are you able to provide me with any information beforehand ?

1. What is the value of assets in Holdings and what are these assets ? assets 31/05/11 were property (ryton)800k trademarks 3k equipment 248k investment in subsidaries 200 trade debtors etc 477k stock 351k cash at bank 955k
2. What is the amount of liabilities in Holdings and what are these liablities ? liabilities trade creditors 537k tax & VAT 679k other creditors 201k accruals (items where bill not received but know it is coming) 903K Finance lease 135K Deferred income (eg sponsorship deals running more than one year) 282k owed to other group members £47.3m
3. When funds were injected into "the club" were these funds injected into Holdings ? apparently all transactions go through holdings so assume so
4. How are funds injected shown in the accounts ? as loans from other group members 47.3m
5. Can you confirm therefore that the debt owed in respect of funds injected is that of Holdings not CCFC Ltd. CCFC H owe other group members but then they have lent CCFC Ltd that money

I am hoping this will provide a commercial value of Holdings.

Thank you. Will you be going on Monday ? have asked to

Good points Grendel which i agree ......... only thing I disagree with is the "Why bother" People bother because they care, feel frustrated, need to feel they are doing something ...... I can not in all honesty knock anyone for doing that

Grendel said:

To be fair I did not mean to be dismissive regarding why bother. I think it's fairly easy to dodge specific financial questions and is time consuming.

I think it would be more relevant to explore the business plan and how the business case for exodus stacks up against alternatives. Frankly of they project 3,000 they could probably look at the rugby ground (I've never been) or Nuneaton and limit the capacity. To move 30 miles is a nonsense.

I also think (not sure) that league rules stipulate they must provide transport for supporters which would be more cost if true.

Again, I agree. Bloody hell!

What's worse, of course, is that they will have limited opportunity to commercially exploit a third-party's stadium, and with crowds minuscule, turnover will be poor and therefore with FFP - the squad will be poorly funded.

If this situation carries on for three seasons, there must be every chance the club would be flirting with relation, or indeed relegated. Where the hell does that then leave the bigger picture?
