    CCLSC conversation with TF

    No. That's why I started the sentence with 'Even if...'. I'm illustrating the fact that ACL, a company owned by a local charity & the local council, could make an overall profit/benefit for the city if they only broke even. I'm not saying they should. Just that there are benefits beyond ACL's...

    CCLSC conversation with TF

    Just to back up someone's addition that the club are asking for all match day revenues so inc. car parks, ads etc. And to add that anyone who thinks one or other side is posturing or PR-ing...well they both are. However, if we can get both sides beyond this we can get CCFC back home. In terms...

    The offer

    It's all a moot point until we know more about potential location & it's certainly not my job to sell any ideas of a new ground as, er, Getting Cov Back to the Ricoh is the priority for me. There's nothing wrong with being skeptical or cynical but dismissing it outright doesn't make much sense...

    The offer

    The two stadium funding details I've heard in the last month or so are 'with joint investors' and 'co-development, like the Ricoh' (massively simplified but you get the gist). If there is to be a new stadium – and I'm not ruling it in or out but until ground is broken, there isn't one, only the...

    City's MPs back campaign to #bringCityhome

    Isn't the only person who doesn't want the Sky Blues back home that Villa fan in Holbrooks?

    The offer

    More likely that a new place would be paid for in a similar way to how the Ricoh was; get development land, sell bits to retail concerns, ker-ching.

    New statement

    Somebody got fobbed off with some very cheap/fake champagne. :)

    New statement

    I probably should know better than to get involved in this now the thread has descended to where it has but here we go... She has both publicly in the press and privately in meetings with fans – including at least one fan who I know to be an anti-Sisu/Sixfields boycotter – admitted to mistakes...

    New statement

    I meant any contracts between ACL & CCFC, e.g. rent, service charges etc.

    New statement

    You're right. In a lot of ways, nothing has changed. But what has changed is, as I say, that there are no contracts in place anymore and there's also a lot of water under the bridge. The situation (i.e. with all sides in this) has gone from 'we're negotiating' to 'we're not talking and CCFC are...

    New statement

    A few things: JS going missing from the web page: My guess is that the previous statement was used as a template and TF didn't delete the previous sign-off from both of them until after it went live. JS meeting with fans: Do people remember the first time she met with fans (at Ryton?) back in...

    The offer

    Other things that are affected / can influence: Potential increase in revenues for other arena tenants, e.g. De Vere Hotel, Casino. Ditto for the rest of the city, e.g. buses, taxis, pubs, chippies, local sports & social clubs that rent out parking space, etc. Sponsors, e.g. Ricoh, Jag Etc.

    The offer

    How did this interview come about Simon?

    Damien Collins interview - sisu/acl crucial decision for football league

    "This situation is appalling. It underlines that Sisu should never have been allowed to take over the club and run it the way they have done." *Waves share certificate*

    came up with a new chant

    A great effort and I was always a big Marcus Hall fan but it was up against the perennial "Marcus Hall, Marcus Hall, Marcus Hall...Marcus Hall, Marcus Hall, Marcus Haaa-aall...Marcus Hall, Marcus Hall, Marcus Haaaall...Marcus Ha-all, Mar! cus! Haaaaall" which was easier to pick up...

    99 year lease, fair rent, revenues

    TBH, I've had conversations with a fair few people about Compass-related stuff and there's been enough on here too so I don't think it comes from one place, hence all of the question marks. I'm expecting someone who knows a bit more or has a better memory to chip in and shed some more light.

    Damien Collins interview - sisu/acl crucial decision for football league

    I'd imagine that the MP behind the football governance bill that would have abolished the 'football first' creditors rule (clubs & players get paid before other creditors) might have something to say about this :-)
