Why are you comparing the new stadium with an old rental deal. Could you not use the rental deal of £400k per annum with access to revenue streams rather than the old one just to suit your argument?
They have already said some of the finance will be equity. So let's say a third is equity
So £20m over 40 years at 10% is £81.8m
But you can also get say £1.5m income per annum at least by F&B's, stand sponsorship, etc. so that's £60m. So that's net of £21.8m
Or
£1.3m x 40 years with no addition income from F&B's, stand sponsorship, etc = £52m.
Again I'm not advocating a new stadium but it isn't as simple as rent vs mortgage costs.

Yes you did. The theory behind the land purchase is the same as that of the Ricoh - namely it becomes self funding by the sale of part of it as real estate to create shopping outlets.
Did your "invester" friend (is that rhyming slang for Leicester?) have to pass a series of fitness tests with all major finance houses before you spoke to him Mr Billy Bullshit?

Why? Because that exactly what No Future Without Sisu did (#276)
And the £400k didn't include access to revenue streams it included cross invoicing of F&B's to allow it to count towards F&B's not actually cash in real terms coming into the club. And then even if you did to me (completely fictional maths like the rest on here makes you only about £5m better off at Ricoh over 40 years, but without having an assert on your balance sheet.

What is the expected life of a stadium? Highfield Road modern stands were 60's. By 2005 the team were playing in the Ricoh and Highfield Road was being demolished.
How much would your stadium buildings be worth 40 years from now as an asset?
It still gets me that people believe that the club will own the ground and have it sitting on the clubs books as an asset when sisu have never actually said that but are quite happy to let people assume it.

But the other side of the coin is that you believe that it won't be part of the same group accounts.
There is no clarity is there.

For me it's more the fact ACL have kept it quiet and the link between that the CVA and the settlement from CVA. It seems to me that it suits ACL to hide it as it makes them look more out of pocket than they were. Smoke and mirrors.
No idea, again this is literally in response to post #276. Perhaps we should never have agreed a 50 year rental deal at the Ricoh as it will be virtually collapsing in another 5-10 years,

Or maybe CCC as ACL are also tenants.In that unlikely event it would be up to ACL as owners to sort it out, not the tenants.
The rent was all ready on the way down as ACL had offered to reduce it, so the £1.2m figures are out. The club were already getting a lot of sponsership so the only money there would be nameing rights and not worth a lot on a 12,000 seat stadium in nuneaton.
Ah yes smoke and mirrors. Like SISU not telling us that they had the rebate from CCC?

Yes exactly like that, sisu do use smoke and mirrors nether said they haven't. ACL also use smoke and mirrors but a lot of posters on here seem either ignorant to that or are naive in thinking that it's only sisu that do it.
They will probably be some clause that says ccfc have to contribute to unplanned maintenance just like the Higgs centre charging the club for £15k repairs.
Wasn't that for damage caused for instance to the fitness equipment?
Can't remember tbh.

What I was saying is that, if you own your own stadium, you have to account for stadium depreciation in the costing comparison.
Looking at league Grunds, it would be difficult to find one in the upper leagues which hasn't been totaly rebuilt within the last 40 to 50 years. Portsmouth is old and requires lots of maintenance.
Haven't Portsmouth closed parts of their stadium as they can't afford the upkeep to get the necessary certificates.

So why did you quote £1.2m rent in your calculations? Club only get Pitchside advertising not naming rights or stand sponsorship, and now you're changing the goalposts to a 12k stadium. This was all started by your maths

Whilst true, engineering has come a long way since stadiums were originally built, for example with cantilevers instead of posts.
You're making a good case for the council to sell the Ricoh, it will need rebuilding in 30 to 40 years time. Dead money

IIRC the Ricoh was given a 125 year lifespan. This is part of why I would prefer a 99 year lease at a peppercorn rent in a joint venture between CCFC and CCC with the money raised going to our club and whoever owns it. This way if anything happens to our club the Ricoh wouldn't go to our clubs creditors, namely SISU as things stand.
Of course Joy wouldn't be happy with this though.
Someone on here said it was good to get out of the rent deal and used the £1.2m rent over 42 years as the reason. I just pointed out (useing those figures) that it is not that bad a deal compared to building a new stadium. Some people keep thinking that building and owning the stadium is the solution to all the problems. It is not.
I don't believe this stadium will be here in 125 years - in this form. Look at the precinct - modern concept in the 50's and 60's. Old hat now - superceded by super stores and retail parks. Stadium design has moved on from 2005. the original concept of a retractable roof and pitch to enable revenue creation all year was forward thinking, but we couldn't afford it. Someday it may be compulsory to have such things - who knows? I would take a cheap rent for as long as possible and let CCC carry the commercial risk. CCFC's business is football. The only other businesses they should be involved in are attracting sponsorship, selling branded articles and obtaining matchday revenue. If the owners want to get involved in property development, great, but leave the club out of it.
