I don't think there way a stadium to be knocked back
Nopm has worked then because I hardly think a supermarket would invest for a percentage of 1300 fans once a week !
I take it Sisu are back to their Ricoh plan.
Do you think they have been knocked back by all the supermarket chains to fund their modest stadium plans ?

So did they lie to the FL ?
I think most people think it is bollocks don't they? No point suddenly believing it as and when to suit?

so our owners are lying ?, and you wonder why some are sympathetic to ACL requests ?

Whether I think its bollocks or not is irrelevant. I thought TF was talking bollocks when he said they would be moving CCFC to sixfields.
They would still had studies done and looked at finance. Did they not take on a company to do this ?
Yes I think it is bollocks this new stadium. I may be wrong but I think it is a bluff.
So you believe they would build if they could?
I reckon that they did the studies and decided it would be cheaper to distress ACL and pick it all up ob the cheap than buy the Higgs share. It looks to
have backfired spectacularly on one than more level.
1) ACL are now capable of surviving without a club on rent strike.
2) I think it's fair to assume that they possibly didn't expect the JR to go as far as it did. My guess is that they thought the council would fold and surrender to a deal on SISU's terms (the unnumbered freehold). CCC called their bluff and fought the JR distressing SISU.
3) SISU are now being distressed from all quarters. Legal bills (both their own and the councils) lost revenue from sponsors, ticket sales, merchandise and even things like league position due to the 2lots of 10points their failed administration has cost us and loosing the benefits of playing in front of a home crowd (in the real sense of the words). Not to mention that ARVO have had to put in more millions by way of share issues to cover the losses at suxfields for FFP.
The distressers have become the distressees.
I think they should build it. But if its outside cov then only expect the sixfield numbers.
Of course they would build it if they could get some supermarket to pay for it, its a no brainer.

It was always a two way thing... Sisu trying to distress ACL to collapse and ACL/CCC trying to force regime change at the club.

Well half of your statement is correct and has been proven in a court of law !
But I don't know about you but I would like to see Sisu out ?
Is that what the judge said or representative's of SISU? One is the summing up of a respected judge the other is the ramblings of mad men.
Yes I would love to see SISU out but unlike you and your hoards I don't think its their fault that its raining today. And by the way, no such thing was proven in a court of law.
Like the Ricoh with the Tesco money?
Lol !
So your calling the judge a liar ?
That was not what the trial was about. The judge expressed an opinion in his summing up (with which I agree by the way) but it was not 'proved in a court of law.' Subtlety doesn't exist in your world does it SBJ?
I would imagine that SISU as a whole have deep enough pockets to keep it going. What I would question is the respectability of Fisher, Joy and all within the SISU group. They've made some pretty shit decisions and their legal eagles have fucked things up on a grand scale. That surely won't bode well with the fund investors. Perhaps now is the time to take a more sensible course of action before they lose more face.
Just common sense observation
Another quality post from Luton JohnI take it Sisu are back to their Ricoh plan.

The decision to build the Ricoh plus the arena shopping development were taken in 2002 - there were agreements / partnerships / cooperation with the local council / club / tesco etc....
The retail landscape has changed massively, unlikely to ever get a multi use site like the arena, and who would ever be able to cooperate with SISU ?.
So you are saying that the case was nothing to do with the the claim from Sisu that the council paying the loan was a way of forcing Sisu out ?
Did the judge agree with Sisu that the council were trying to force Sisu out ?
Like the Ricoh with the Tesco money?
