The whole point of getting the Ricoh is getting access to all the other revenue. The stadium on its own only gives limited revenue on certain days of the year. Doncaster cost £20 odd million and is nowhere near the standard of the Ricoh. Brightons Amex is similar to the Ricoh. Cost for the...

Genuine question: Does anyone know of any sale of the freehold of any completed and fully functioning commercial building in the Uk that was less than its total construction cost?

If you build a house the cost of the raw materials and labour is far lower than the end result. The same with shopping centres. Value is added. Buildings generally appreciate over time. Sound investment, hence all the buy to let landlords. Even council houses increase in value.

Thats your main problem. Independent valuation. Are you offering SISU the freehold or ACL? The total construction cost for the whole site was over £100 million. Can that be split? Do the records exist? How do you agree which bill is for which section of the development? Once valued, what...

Its a question of ethics. If you come on here as a reporter, researcher, activist or blogger, then its only fair and right that people are aware of your identity. I registered and occasionally posted before I started writing on the City. However, its fairly obvious from the signature that...

I have been told its due to the Hillsborough tragedy. Makes sense to me - its in their interests to keep a count for public safety

The council own the freehold. ACL have 43 years still to run on the lease agreement to manage the whole site. The fees were front loaded. No other payments are due. If you own the freehold, ACL will still own their lease. The joint venture with Compass will still have contracts that are...

Can you send me a link? I have published all comments received as far as i am aware - except the spam of course.

Thanks Dave Miller Band. Northern wisdom sent it as if from the labour leaders email address. Done it again with an unprofessional and largely unfunny play on words. Apologies in advance to Torch. I mean Torchomatic. ;) So someone is going to great lengths to justify Les's standpoint and...

It is his Trinity Mirror email address that they are being sent from.

Reid has now been back and posted several replies over the course of the day. He has yet to answer whether he asked JS the question on ownership. I'm pretty certain he didn't as he would have defended himself by now. Unless he's about to publish it in another of his 'exclusives'...

I have added a note in the comment section that goes some way to explain how the error occurred. If I hadn't have been there and witnessed the goal myself, I may have paid more attention when proof reading the piece. I assumed when I deleted the bit about Oggy's long ball I had cut the correct...

I would imagine that I would have had to insert 'Seppala was unable to give any clarity as to who would exactly own the new stadium once completed' if she had consented to an interview with me. However, it would appear that Reid did not ask the question. And as i argue in the piece, its the...

Sisu. What a bunch of left wing hippies letting a chazzer sponsor our kits. Laughing stock. That's what we'll become with this leftie touchy feely tree hugging sheeeet... I thought FFP had to be at the forefront of the decision making process. That's what fluffy Timmy said before.

PA said he couldn't accept the offer of £150K rent due to the conditions attached to it. To my knowledge, he has never explained which conditions he objected to. Please correct me if anyone knows any different, as some posts on here appear very confident that they know the reasons. Links...

I think the Telegraph claimed that city support had risen by about 400 on the first game. Then i think there was an additional 20 odd for the Colchester. The police I spoke with outside the ground on Sunday said that actual numbers through the gate was less than the official attendance...

I'd prefer the club to play its home games in the city from which it takes it name from. Anywhere else just doesn't seem right. Results are important. History, sense of belonging and tradition equally so. For me, results don't seem as important as they used to. The longer this goes on, the...

One of the funniest things is that for those that don't support the clubs move should be more thick skinned and just ignore any abuse directed at them. Yet for those inside the ground, they are so sensitive, that the name calling needs to stop. The name calling just needs to stop. Its pointless.

My first point was : People on both sides have been guilty of name-calling. Can't defend either use of terms used at times. Deluded isn't real abusive. More of an opinion than a term of abuse. For the others, I think they are out of order. We all support the same team.

Grendel So, would you consider his recent outburst as a fair and balanced response?
