So how much rent do we presently pay and how much is Ashley wanting to put it up to?

No idea how much he wants to put it up to if he does at all. Currently we pay around £1.5m which is not a lot. My point is even if he puts it up to £2m that’s the deal we should be pursuing rather than ownership.

And a long term deal. Rock solid so he doesn’t screw the fans over by charging silly money.

Without knowing what Ashley is after we can only guess. His starting point could be a piss take thinking we're under pressure by the FL into having to agree with his terms.

Of course we would be better off at the CBS. King stated exactly the same just in April. It must make you wonder why he would change his mind so quickly.

He’s not changed his mind. He’s just floated this stadium nonsense as it’s the only sliver of a bargaining chip he has. We’ve just got to hope Frasers offer something reasonable.

If he hasn't changed his mind where is all this coming from if Ashley isn't asking for too much? How can he be happy in April but looking for another angle in June?

The fact is we can’t be beholden to the whims of a company whose sole purpose is to extract as much money from the football club as possible.

it amazes me that half our fanbase doesn’t get this and won’t entertain any notion of us moving to a situation where we control our own stadium.

Long term we either need to move to a new ground or buy the one we’re in

He should have bought it when he had a chance probably cheaper then than it is now.

He tried to and for more than Ashley offered but the court ruled against him saying his offer was too late for the circumstances.

But the fact is we are. And will continue to be. A new stadium is 100% not happening.

Quite funny how it now seems to have become a thing that if we manage to get promoted we'll immediately be looking to add another tier on the CBS or move to a bigger ground.

More realistically you'd be looking at several years of every game being sold out before that's even a thought.

It's mad how people can't seem to grasp this.
And given we don't own it it adds a whole other level of complexity to how it would actually work.

Then add to this if/when we get to the Prem the income from tickets becomes a smaller fraction of your income.

Yeah, there are so many factors.
As CD said, it's not even going to be thought about until we have a prolonged period of selling out.

I have. He has to sign another licence so clearly will do something to show he will look at alternatives if he has to
