Huh? Who do you think I am? The closest I've got to the FL is the first KCIC protest down there. Based on what has been said publicly, the club are trying to get a deal sorted on two potential sites. This isn't a secret.

Don't take my bit about the FL's process as gospel, it's just a best guess based on how organisations can/could work. Believe me, nobody will be happier than me if we get to play back at the Ricoh, especially in time for next season. I'd also want us to go through the season undefeated but I'm...

Another thing...the Football League. Despite the 'Real Fans, Real Football' flannel, everyone has to realise or remember exactly what they are: an organisation for club owners. Why on earth would they make decisions for the fans without covering their own backs first? Bear in mind that they...

Why does this make you glad for me? I'm genuinely puzzled by that.

OSB started a thread yesterday which goes into the logistics of a rent deal in a lot more detail and timescales are part of that. No return for the first game and that's never something I subscribed to in the first place. My assumption is that the FL have people (lawyers, consultants, a...

;-)

No it shouldn't. It also shouldn't be a 70-mile round trip to see 'home' games, we shouldn't be playing in League 1 and people shouldn't be having to go to food banks to get enough to eat. You probably see where I'm going here...

I wrote a breakdown of all the possible venues we could play at when this whole leaving the Ricoh mess blew up and dismissed Sixfields & the Pirelli Stadium (Burton Albion) out of hand because they were both on the edge of the allowed zone. I assumed that the club would be back in Cov because...

Agreed although the timescales might be off. If fans really want the club back in Cov sooner rather than later then they need to get ACL & Sisu to discuss. No matter how tempting it might be to pick a side, the only way is to push them all in. If we care about lost fans, even more so. Thing is...

Rotherham moved to Don Valley Stadium when they couldn't agree a rent with the Booth family who owned the stadium.

From another thread: http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/47288-Appeal-Decision?p=741482&viewfull=1#post741482

I'm not saying that you have to take the bet but 'impossible odds' are still given. Deep down I think it will unless ACL & Sisu work out a deal or either (or even both!) go bust. There's always the possibility of a buyer coming in and offering enough to make Sisu sell but I think there's more...

Still no answer to my question tho'. What odds do I get? 2/1? 10/1? 1000/1?

Not that hard at the moment. Meet with FL and show them details of two potential sites, the impact assessments and that they are trying to negotiate a deal for one of them. Bear in mind that the FL have had lots of experience with the likes of Rotherham (approx. 610 days from leaving Millmoor to...

So what odds would you give that CCFC will/won't be playing in a newly built stadium by, say, 2020?

Why not?

Great stuff OSB. Really good to have some background & analysis. One of the issues with discussing all of this is that people will simplify things (e.g. Compass rather than IEG) and that's where some of the confusion & received wisdom creeps in. The flip side of that is that all the TLA & FLAs...

I think this decision was a formality. Judge slams Sisu and refuses leave to appeal in High Court and now refuses request for appeal basically. Got to go through the legal process step-by-step. Not that I think that this is a good thing but I'm not surprised about the appeal and I'd think the...

Joking aside, does anyone remember when one of the arguments for getting rid of Sisu was that they were in trouble and would take us down with them?

One big problem we as fans have is that ACL seem to be OK with things ticking over as they are with maybe the addition of some more hotel space and a sports franchise (*blergh*) and Sisu seem happy to bunker down in Sixfields until they can build a new stadium As much as people might think...
