A lager company?

Noggin · Jan 30, 2014

Joke Thread? Would be very bad news if they got a proper new main tenant for the pitch, I can't see its very likely though, hopefully im right.

This isn't a joke..

A non-league youth team has signed up to play its games at Ricoh Arena. More to follow #PUSB

ajsccfc · Jan 30, 2014

Some non-league youth team apparently.

Grendel · Jan 30, 2014

The gold mine goes from strength to strength.

ccfcway · Jan 30, 2014

is it a non league youth team ?

mark82 · Jan 30, 2014

Not even a non league team but their youth team. Well done ACL. Good moving on.

Nick · Jan 30, 2014

How are they affording it?

wingy · Jan 30, 2014

Heard there were a few Vixens roaming around there.

RoboCCFC90 · Jan 30, 2014

I must say ACL have managed to attract the best tennant possible..

I thought the match day costs would cripple a non-league club thanks to greedy ACL Grendel? What happened here?

Obviously not going to be paying them I would say.

RoboCCFC90 · Jan 30, 2014

Well for this team (name not yet confirmed) it will be a once in a lifetime experience, but sorry ACL is this the best you can come up with?

RoboCCFC90 · Jan 30, 2014

FootballCV Red will play eight of their home games at the Ricoh starting from next season they play in the Conference Youth Alliance Midlands Division!!!

By "obviously" do you mean "that's the only explanation that means I don't have to reconsider my views"?

Could be all sorts of things, fact is it costs more to open all stands and have a game for 10k people than it does for 100 or so.

I know you're just doing your "grrrr council thing" but so you know, this relates to Grendel laughing at anyone who suggests a phoenix club could play at the Ricoh. Because ACL would never do it for free and the costs would cripple anyone non-league. I'd say either way, this proves him wrong.

RoboCCFC90 · Jan 30, 2014

What should happen for their first home game we should pack the place out and make a day to remember for those kids

Noggin · Jan 30, 2014

don't play on weekends so doesn't seem to affect any chance of us coming back.

Nick · Jan 30, 2014

How are they affording it? Not just opening the stands but the staff at the ground, groundsmen, under soil heating, flood lights etc. It would be interesting to see if the non attendance based fees are the same as what CCFC had to pay.

I don't think £3 subs each is going to cover the flood lights.

We'll_live_and_die · Jan 30, 2014

I like the fact that they are currently based in Northamptonshire.

what about the "kids" playing there hearts out at cov? I say fuck em. ACL are as much to blame as the Council and sisu the whole lot can frig off!!

Until sisu lay the cornerstone for a new stadium - and as long the JR is unsettled - ACL will have to leave room for the club to come back.

No it just proves the council and ACL are greedy scum. They said that the club when we syed there had to pay fixed overheads as ACL could not pay themselves. This proves that statement to be false - it proves what I have said all along - the council and its quango have only ever wanted the club when it was a cash cow that they could leach off.

torchomatic · Jan 30, 2014

Equally they need to make sure they're the "going concern" Lucas says they are, don't they?

LOL!

No mate, it proves that the cost of using the Ricoh is proportional to how it's being used. This lot will need the pitch only and there will be no security, no cleanup, no food and beverage.

The cost to open all stands and put on a Championship/L1 experience is obviously going to be waaaay higher than letting a youth team and a few dads in.

PS: Bins not emptied again?
