Stalemate then. A homeless football club and an empty football stadium. No one wins.
Rather easier to adapt a football stadium than a football club.
As a Tax Payer I believe that government funding can be used in better areas of our community and within budget then to maintain a Football Stadium with no tennant.

I agree. So sell to highest bidder? Or convert to something of use for tax payer.
And with Councils having to set their budgets next year and with even less money coming from central government there won't be a lot of money around to "adapt" a stadium for a while. Four more years of pain, so kiss goodbye to all your services, folks.
Exactly Torch, a decision needs to be made now for the sake of Tax Payers and for the Council, they could make all the hassle and bad negativity dissapear with a sale of the Arena.[/QUOTE
sisu to the rescue again........don't make me laugh robo.

I wasn't intending to make you laugh either a sale needs to be made to the Football Club in which the Arena would be utilised fully as it was designed for or it is sold to a private party who can develop the land around it or the Arena itself.
we wont know any thing till the jr robo, more time for sisu to let us hear their manifesto, yawn !I wasn't intending to make you laugh either a sale needs to be made to the Football Club in which the Arena would be utilised fully as it was designed for or it is sold to a private party who can develop the land around it or the Arena itself.
Perhaps, but they could save a fortune by sacking the idle buggers that spend all day posting on internet forums rather than doing the job they are paid to do.

or shoring up the finances of a failing Arena Management company eitherAbsolutely right - and those urging the council to do something should realise that councils do not have an obligation to find accomodation for homeless football clubs or to assist private equity funds to make money.

This is my argument though ...... if we are talking solely on the purpose of getting the best return for the taxpayer it is not to sell it to JS or the football club if they are not going to pay as much as other potential buyers?
I don't see how the sale of the Arena could depend on the JR, at the end of the day if CCC/ACL sold the Arena, SISU may drop the JR.
There is also business rates to consider. While CCFC are away surely there are local businesses in danger of going under, therefore no rates from these properties
Agreed. The best thing would be if CCC sold the Arena to the Football Club IMO.
Selling it to a another party like Haskell achieves nothing.
As a CCFC fan the above is correct. As a taxpayer it is not.
As a tax payer, how would you be worse off?
JS paying less than market value for the Ricoh. Is that not clear?
But I'm asking how that would make you worse off?

It's not a straightforward question as you can take 2 approaches.
The first would be purely financial. Currently the council own the freehold and 50% of ACL. The value of the freehold I wouldn't have thought was being impacted too much as in the council document detailing build costs they indicated the value of the freehold was minimal while a lease was in place.
In terms of ACL at the moment, according to their filed accounts, they are a profit making company who have been making overpayments on their debts to clear them as quickly as possible........
