Grendels got a 3 wheeler so he could be right on this one :thinking about:
Thank you, I was having trouble working that out. 4 wheel drive I can understand does what it says on the tin - why do they need a new name for it how many cars have more than 4 wheels?

Can you please sxplain to me why the match day costs varied from one deal to the next?
Police costs are separate they are paid direct by the club as are stewards and St Johns
Don't quote me on this, but I think it started to move to AWD when talking about saloons and family cars (think Subaru, Volvo, Audi), to differentiate them from the (infrequently) muddy monsters known as 4WD. I'm kind of old school on this, having worked for LR back in the day. It's not a true 4WD unless you've got at least two gearsticks and free-wheeling hubs and you can clean the inside out with a hose.
How do you know they were offered free rent??????????
It relates to Jaguar maybe renewing their interest in sponsoring the stadium if Ricoh get cold feet. But that's another thread.
Anyone can make a stupid statement or joke on this board, safe in the knowledge that no matter what they say they will never be the biggest idiot !!
Ah you made a stupid statement and I'm the idiot.
Of course.
No more comments about ACL charging for policing when you said it was SISU and our club that would have paid for it?

I can give you one reason straight of the bat without even have to think about it.
When CCFC were last playing at the Ricoh, CCFC the ground staff were employed by CCFC. They are now employed by ACL.
Perhaps our wonderful owners would be kind enough to give a breakdown of these costs from our original tenancy to what they were in the last offer instead of muddying the waters with sound bites that confuse idiots that don't seem to be able to work out that the club might be getting more for their money this time compared to last time and that the extra cost could also be offset by savings to the club in other area's.
I can't see how a fixed matchday charge can include policing as that has to be a variable cost dependant on crowds. Can you?
Is that like when you said on this thread that SISU paid for the policing?
Quite easy really. Average attendance for manpower needed. Wouldn't be too far out, although you would prefer to agree with Timothy on what was and wasn't included.
The club pay for policing themselves don't they?

In talking about the deals proposed after we moved out.
Talking about transparamcy it would have been nice for ACL to confirm the observer story false that they had a contract on a sponsor until 2025.
Why didn't they?

Of course.
Or could be Timothy twisting words again. All newspapers said at the time that ACL were going to charge SISU the cost of policing the games. Wouldn't be the first time he had twisted the truth would it.
A5. Match-day costs include, contributions towards the groundsman ( previously employed by the club and now by ACL), the pitch treatments, the equipment to maintain the pitch, a contribution towards match-day utilities, hygiene, maintenance staff, waste disposal, statutory compliance, match-day stadium safety and control room management. The proposal excluded police, West Midlands Ambulance, St Johns Ambulance, medical personnel, ticketing staff, stewards as these remain an obligation of the football club, which has always been the case, and would be a requirement at any other venue. Costs for the remainder of 13/14 season would equate to £8,470 per match and for 14/15 and 15/16 seasons £12,316 per match.
An ACL statement read: 'To enable the football club to fulfil its commitments under Football League regulations, and to provide stability whilst Coventry City Football Club Limited, which owns the League Share, remains in administration, ACL has agreed to allow the club to play its homes games free of any rental fee, therefore removing any need for the supporters to travel outside the city to watch home games. 'All charges incurred on matchday as a consequence of staging a football match will be passed through at cost, for example, stewarding, policing, utilities, frost protection, matchday repairs to stadium, health safety and compliance management and certification, service charges for maintenance contracts eg floodlights, generators etc.'The directors of ACL hope the supporters of Coventry City Football Club, the joint administrators and the Football League will view this as a positive and productive move and should assist in dispelling the uncertainty and upset of the past weeks.'

So if SISU would have been paying for the police and other services separate as you say why didn't they sue this newspaper......or at least the usual threat of litigation?
Q5. What do match day expenses cover? Please define the costs involved?

Depend how variable it is. If it's a cost per head then the only way it would work would be using an expected average with a premium to be paid if that is exceeded. If its banded it might not be an issue, say 10-15K is all one rate then ACL could work off every game being the same cost.
The club pay for policing.
An Astute fact is confusing the issue.
LOL, Look over there!
As I answered your question and you've completely dodged the point I guess I'm 100% right and it doesn't assist your argument.
I'm confused, so astute is saying they don't?
Wasnt it from the accounts too? I always thought we paid for the police ourselves.
Have you found anything to say we paid acl for policing? This quote from ACL says the club pay it.
So why didn't SISU say that ACL were wrong to say that the match day costs included policing costs? You know they would have if it was wrong. And about every national paper stated the same that the match day costs would have included police costs.
No he is saying they do. An Astute fact is a statement from Astute that is wrong. His posts contain many such facts.

Because ACL said themselves that it isn't included? It is probably just the same press release at the time a bit confused
This ones says the same:

Maybe it is just that press release? I am pretty sure CCFC pay for policing.
