Corporate goes to City.
Pie & Beer sales go Compass with ACL getting a cut I think.
Not sure about car parking.
Car parking charges are determined by ACL as is the scandalous decision to allow only 4 tickets to season ticket buyers. The football club has offered the game at a cheap price. Car parking remains a premium. Given this is now a council funded quango you would have thought they would do the decent thing for the citizens of Coventry. Then again this is ACL...,,
Nah sod that.
If it is a council funded quango. It had to be one because of the actions of our owners.
It needs to succeed so our club stays safe.
The council wants coventry to have a football club.
Let them run it as they see fit. We know they do care about us.
The club rent the arena at a set rate (when they actually pay) regardless of the size of the crowd plus costs such as the amount of stewards needed.
The car park is rented to CCFC who put their cut on top which makes the total cost of a car park ticket.
Acl will not make any more profit than if it had have been 10,000 other than a cut of the food sold.
Seems some on here never let facts get in the way of spreading BS in their attempt to muddy the waters regarding ACl and the council
Why did we only get 4 cup tickets this season? That is before any rental dispute. Can you seriously justify that? Can you justify them charging double the admission price. I can't.
They care about nothing but ripping supporters off from what I can see.
Coventry needs a football club.
The Council has to promote Coventry.

The fans want the same.
Do you think its fair season ticket holders now having to pay to park having paid for the whole season? Answer the question.
Problem is I think they have an outstanding creditor.
They are probably trying to recoup an outstanding debt from the fans.
Maybe a fair way would be charge those who agree with SISU not paying their debt. So they can chip in for the outstanding debt.
However those who think SISU are outrageous could pay just a fiver
Garbage these prices were set last May. Try again.
So you say SISU should pay only 170k a year.
You say that ACL should write off 1 million pounds worth if legally binding debt.
Then you bleat when they can't drop their car parking prices.
I'm saying that they made this decision completely separately to the rent payment. I am actually defending them. They clearly from the outset that relegation is likely to mean more cup games. That is why they're the decision, an opportunity to make profit.
What you are saying is they are consciously trying to recoup a few thousand pounds from a consumer of a product mdue to a creditor owing them money. If that was the case now they are bring subsidised they would change the decision.
Sorry you sound stupid. They did it because they could make more money as that ultimate steely is their only interest. How you ever complained to ACL about parking issues? I have pre sisu. Believe me their customer relations is worse than the club. They really do only care a out the colour of money on this issue.
You were saying they made the decision before SISU started reneging on their contract.
You were wrong.
There's some real crap being talked on this thread. The FACTS are as follows:
1. ACL take the same amount in match day fees that they do for every other match (this is the only money The club are paying them)
2. ACL share the profits from the food and drink concessions half and half with Compass. (This is the part they have offered to the club)
3. ACL sold the car parking concession to the club, who sold it on for a lump sum, so neither ACL nor the club will get anything from car parking, and have no control over pricing.
Now we've got the facts straight, maybe we can have a proper, informed discussion.

Really -- who did they sell it to? Also please advise who made the decision to not allow more than 4 tickets per season in the cup. I am interested as I want to write and complain. I already have to ACL -- this is clearly why they have never bothered to answer my letter on the subject.
Strange you only seem to post when someone criticises the council funded quango -- very strange.
Was it SISU who sold it in on, or pre SISU.
If it is SISU it maybe worth writing to them, it seems they may not have sold it to people who care about the fans?
Karl Chester, used to teach me at school...
Out of interest Grendel how much do you have to pay?
For what it is worth I agree with you it should be a fiver.
It is now £9 extra -- the main issue though is that the season costs a flat fee which I think was £210. Cup games were always free -- you got tickets in the book for every round. Now it is only 4 tickets for "cup games". Without doubt someone saw we would now actually perhaps play more games and siezed the moment. It's aa rip off anyway. Also they will almost certainly pay on the gate. I have been turned away before as they have sold out though have on both occasions forced my way in. It will be a nightmare.
Get Grendel a discount then, I can't handle much more of this
Also he has a lot to answer for, I take it he didn't teach you economics![]()
He was a supply teacher.
We didn't get on to well...
So best not mention me!
Fair comment, Something tells me, he and Grendel are not going to get on too well either
How much is it for the car parking?
