Council need to do everything they can to ensure we can play for the next 2 weeks. Then there's 4 weeks for a buyer and logistics to be sorted before our next home game

I cant remember where I saw it but I had seen the figure was around 7 million for repairs. again could have just been a random figure.

Again, not saying you're wrong mate, but I'd love to know where this started. I'll have to do some googling later!

I’m sure the figure was mentioned in the council meeting last week

Again, happy to be corrected and not trying to start a row, but I listened to that meeting, and I don't recall Duggins or Ridley saying anything about it. That is the meeting where Ridley was asking questions about Wasps and bailouts at least. Was there another meeting?

Yep, top of my head you'd perhaps want a CIC (Community Interest Company) set-up so any assets purchased are "locked-in" and an escrow account to protect deposits.

You can tell I've been thinking about it... 🙂

So hang on here mate...you want a number of us, let's call ourselves 'bondholders' for shits and gigs, to put forward money to finance a stadium purchase, as a collective?

What could go wrong?! ;-)

FWIW, I'm in but seeing how it was ballsed up by the insects, I'm be sceptical.

This is ACL's first notification period isn't it? I assume that means they can extend for 10 days if they can demonstrate that there is some interest.

Is it possible CBS could make a bid?

That looks to be true.

It will take some time though.

I wouldn't expect any of the pre-World Cup games to be in danger (famous last words!).

The council gave us assurances that tonight would be on, and it is. They also have said they can't give those assurances for Saturday if administration happens, which it looks like it will. Personally I'd be more than a bit concerned.

Where have they said they can't give assurances?

Haven't the council got the chance to call the lease back as soon as it goes into admin?

They won't want to I suspect and would rather it goes.

The administrator will surely want the game to go ahead Saturday to keep some cash flow in the business.

I guess they'd say that because it would be in the administrator's hands, so not under their control.

It would be unusual for an administrator to walk into a business that has a reasonable chance of being sold and then move straight to liquidation.

Anyway, time will tell.

Indeed. But if the administrator has no money available, he surely can't run the stadium on a matchday.

Didn't the administrator for Derby keep it running on the basis of the eventual owner's picking it up from the overall deal?

Interesting Holmes- but needs more than a 7% solution !

I thought that Derby County FC went in to administration but the football ground was owned separately by Mel Morris. I assume the Administrator paid the rent and claimed it back through the sale of the club
