If SISU spent less time talking to Donny and more speaking to ACL this would be resolved by now.
Its like me not wanting to pay my mortgage and ringing Sky about it.
Doncaster Fan in peace, I am glad John Ryan has given city some advice in regards to your situation. You shouldn't have to go into administration because the council decide they want to fleece you.
Anyway alot of Donny fans are worried about you lot this season. My Tip for Playoff winners, maybe Top 2!
Best of luck for the rest of the season, Apart from when you play us of course

I agree with grendal here.wasted words on ACLTALK.COMWaste of time. Most people on here are ACL and council supporters. They think we should be fleeced and go into administration.
They should be speaking to them and its about time our supporters realised how ripped off we are.
Glad to hear an outsider's perspective, after all, your club was once ripped off like ours and Donny have won their struggle, it's time for CCFC to win theirs! You, and your club have shown how anti-SISU our fans are to defend ACL on this issue.
I'm being painted as a pro SISU person because I put my club first.
Hopefully CCFC come top 2, who knows, maybe Donny and CCFC might get top 2.
What did you think of us when we came up to the Keepmoat?
Absolute Nonsense, as per usual.
They should be speaking to them and its about time our supporters realised how ripped off we are.
Interesting how you use the term "our supporters" almost as though you are not one, and are perhaps looking at this from shall we say a different perspective....:claping hands:surely you would say "its about time we realised how ripped off we are" :facepalm: or is that nonsense too?
Grendel........If, as you say, CCFC are being ripped off by Acl can you please tell me why Sisu did not address the issue when carrying out their due diligence?
If I had just arrived from the moon there would be a chance I'd listen to your opinion. Seen as I haven't, and have seen the whole sorry saga of "our" club over a few decades, I have lived it real time and dont need you or anyone else to paint a picture for me. And for that reason....I'm out
They should have, just because they didn't then means you don't want them to now?Grendel........If, as you say, CCFC are being ripped off by Acl can you please tell me why Sisu did not address the issue when carrying out their due diligence?
It was made into a drama when the Ricoh was about to open.It Starred Ray Winstone and was film here ' all in the game'Doncaster issue publicity article
Coventry City have written to Doncaster Rovers to thank them for their support, according to an article on the Doncaster Rovers club website.
City contacted Rovers who had experience over negotiating the rent for the Keepmoat Stadium and thanked them for their help in their negotiations with Arena Coventry Limited which again have stalled.
An ACL Spokesman said in a statement on New Years Eve: "There has been further correspondence between ACL and SISU, the Mayfair based Hedge Fund which owns Coventry City FC during the Christmas period, but no agreement has yet been reached.
"The Board of ACL has been trying to resolve this matter but is considering its legal options and will meet to discuss the issue in the near future. The Board meeting has yet to be scheduled at this time."
Coventry City FC love a drama. Would make great TV
I have absolutely no problem with them now taking up an issue which they should have done some considerable time ago BUT I do have issues with the way which they are now dealing with it. To starve a charity of income is unforgivable. I have said this before and make no apologies for repeating it; they have to decide what is the correct rent AND PAY IT, in the interim. In this way a court will accept their case much more sympathetically. Oh wait......what am I doing......giving legal advise to a bunch of shysters!They should have, just because they didn't then means you don't want them to now?
Why do people want to see club continually suffer because of SISUs mistake of not addressing the issue earlier?

I remember watching that Deano, do you have a link ?
I think I am one of the many who I consider to possess a balanced view.
1. Yes, we are being fleeced, though perhaps 'fleeced' isn't the correct terminology. The rent is simply too high and we cannot afford to pay it.
I do think though that ACL must be scratching their heads. We have been there for 7 and half years now and the rent has surely always been too high. This all should have been addressed a long, long time ago.
Last Christmas many of us were saying we were certainties for relegation and though not sorted before this should have been addressed then. The club must have known what was coming. Plans should have been put in place. Negotiations should have taken place.
2. We should pay something now towards the arrears. We owe the money and there is no getting away from that. i, like many others believe that all the club have to do here is to pay what they consider to be a decent amount while continuing to negotiate! This would show some goodwill and enable negotiations to continue.
We are not negotiating at the moment, it is is just a stand-off and a gamble on the club's very future.
I am not pro Sisu or pro ACL. I just want to see fairness and the best result for all parties concerned.
I still can't get my head around the fact though that we've been here in the Ricoh for nearly 8 years and only now this is being discussed and only now is the talk of the rent being too high.
Bottom line is it has always been too high.
It's actually the club's owners that are fleecing the council, but hey ho....as long as CCFC benefits then who cares who else suffers hey? After all, being a CCFC supporter apparently requires one to support the club in all circumstances, even when it behaves totally immorally.
Nobody should be expected to put their first club ahead the bigger issues of right v wrong. ACL have done nothing wrong. It's SISU/CCFC who are clearly in breach of contract, as the court correctly decided.
In my mind, SISU's actions have bordered on the criminal, and yet people defend them. I'm just glad that lots of fans agree that our club shouldn't be supported in trampling over its past benefactors.
Didn't ACL commit the 'first evil' by charging above market value?
