Or then again, instead of fantasising that they might do something that they haven't done maybe we should recognise that our owners are not as bad as they could be!

And its a Happy Christmas wish to all, with no restrictive covenants from me!

Without any reservation at all, I'd like to wish everybody a happy Christmas and hopefully a happy New Year!

I was there for the Willie Car Donkey kick! priceless!

the club paid just less than £2m, the council paid £10m £60m from Tescos, £21m sale of lease to ACL, £10m grants, £6m Isle of Capri for the Casino, £5m expected from sale of residual land.

Just google "supporting" and you'll get a definition, from the English language. Your child doesn't get paid when he plays, if he progresses and becomes professional he will expect to get paid and the money will have to come from somewhere. The normal model for a professional football team is...

Your last statement is very true. The same can also be said of the Ricoh arena without the regular income from the team! Bring them together and the value of both will go up. The problem is the council feel they have some right over this increase in value and are sticking out to get some of it...

SISU are not my friends, I have no connection to them at all. I am just expressing my own impartial views, Of course SISU don't like the fans staying away and I am sure that it does trouble them, but I think it troubles you more to think anyone else can have a view contrary to yours.

there is no accolade, its a wind-up! our attendances are the lowest in the league.

I agree with that but I also think SISU would agree too, I don't think they did it with the aim of alienating their customers perhaps "generosity" was too inflammatory a term to use, lets just say If the "supporters" are not financially supporting the team, they are relying on the money of...

That's just wrong too! If the "supporters" are not financially supporting the team, they are relying on the money of SISU to support it for them. Apart from the fact that the boycott would not effect them (arguably at all but certainly not before CCFC) isn't it a bit hypocritical for people who...

Just Wrong! so far as I am concerned. Yes you can go to away games to "support" by shouting the team on but supporting the team also means financially supporting them! Staying away is NOT supporting!

Its all Timmys fault, ACL & CCC are always squeaky clean. he sits in his office for weeks dreaming up these plots! It was really clever how he fooled ACL Into robbing us of 10 pts, not once but twice! hes such a naughty boy!

like the Ricoh!

No reason at all, seems like a nice non-exec boy!

I've been saying this for years! All you can ask any new owner to do is pay the 'F'in bills! In regards to running it, with all due respects to Jan, I have more confidence in Joy, Tim and Elvis! Of course any new regime would hope to cling on to Elvis! but wouldn't that be just a bit...

Also at 2:07 - 2:18 interview with a director of the Architects firm

The total input to the Ricoh from grants was less than £10m so not very significant, but grants would be available to any developer not only a council. Interestingly the illustrations show us only a stadium bowl. The Ricoh has a great deal of high cost/ft building on the side that is much...

I think they have ample room for profit. It turns the land around such a development into prime retail land worth much more. Remember the Councils input to the Ricoh was only £10m most of the rest came from grants and selling off parts of the site. The Council managed to secure an "asset" that...
