Coldplay the world's most boring band.
Coldplay the world's most boring band.Gonna be awkward when Coldplay are playing and the camera pans to the corporate boxes and Adi's got his arms around MR.
Keane say hello.Coldplay the world's most boring band.
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.So how much rent do we presently pay and how much is Ashley wanting to put it up to?
And a long term deal. Rock solid so he doesn’t screw the fans over by charging silly money.No idea how much he wants to put it up to if he does at all.

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.No idea how much he wants to put it up to if he does at all.

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.
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?He hasn’t changed his mind

He should have bought it when he had a chance probably cheaper then than it is now.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
No we're not but you haven't answered my question as usual.We aren’t building a stadium in two years are we
He tried to and for more than Ashley offered but the court ruled against him saying his offer was too late for the circumstances.He should have bought it when he had a chance probably cheaper then than it is now.

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

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

surely the plan has to be buying the stadium back at some point, i've never understood why frasers wanted to buy it (obv knowing we are the only tennant) theres only so much profit they can be making each month from it? (unless ive missed something??)
maybe you're right, i always feel uneasy with renting the stadium, they could bump up prices and we're done for again.I dont know why anyone ever wants to own it tbh
It's been there 20 years and not once made any profit
There’s always a lot of talk that we have no option, but to rent the stadium out, but have always thoughts from Fraser’s POV, they would get no revenue if we left the city again.maybe you're right, i always feel uneasy with renting the stadium, they could bump up prices and we're done for again.
surely less fingers in the pie the better?
didnt King say he offered the money, but he couldnt "show" the money in time or something?There’s always a lot of talk that we have no option, but to rent the stadium out, but have always thoughts from Fraser’s POV, they would get no revenue if we left the city again.
Yeah, I think that was when the council owned it though right? Ashley now in control.didnt King say he offered the money, but he couldnt "show" the money in time or something?
They get revenue from the conference venues etc.There’s always a lot of talk that we have no option, but to rent the stadium out, but have always thoughts from Fraser’s POV, they would get no revenue if we left the city again.
Surely doesn’t touch what we provide though right?They get revenue from the conference venues etc.
I get what you mean but how many clubs have statiums that make them a profit? A place to play is a cost.I dont know why anyone ever wants to own it tbh

Ya think?leaving the CBS isn't an option
The fact that Jon Sharp is directly quoted here makes me feel like this is an attempt at some pressure PR by King on Frasers.
Now we own it all, is he gonna sell the club for a big profit
