    I dread to think how many train tickets you've bought for this game then.

    Parking for Saturday

    Used to park at the Welsh all the time, good value drinks, was full of City fans in the bar, I imagine that is still the case. i don't know if the price will increase or not, they doubled the cost for the last concert parking as someone approched them and said they will provide the parking staff...

    Anyone still not received new season ticket card ?

    I moved seats, got my two cards today. Perfect timing, well done to all involved.

    Any Other Fans who have not renewed ST , had an e-mail?

    It's a good mail and a good offer, hopefully people will take advantage of it. I think we'll have a season where we challenge for the top, would be a shame to miss out seeing it.

    Did Sisu appeal?

    Oh of course, you're guessing, fair enough. I've given you facts, you don't like them.

    Did Sisu appeal?

    How would the Council be in overall control? Twice the amount of what, a figure years later? With the benefit of hindsight I believe the deal that was on the table, even for £5.5m would have been better for SISU, CCFC and Higgs than where we are now. I guess you think we're better off now.

    Did Sisu appeal?

    The lease would be extended for ACL, the same that has happened now, and the club would have owned half of ACL. The point being everyone involved with the club have known for many years that a lease extension was available, and they knew they didn't have to pay the formula price. These were the...

    Did Sisu appeal?

    I assume you mean the massively extended lease that at the time was not offered to anyone else, it was negotiated by all parties from about Oct 2011 and agreed in principle by all parties by July 2012.

    Did Sisu appeal?

    The point is that in the days when SISU's more sensible people were prepared to negotiate the Council were willing to give the football club the benefit of an extended lease for free, or as Les Reid would have probably reported it, 'a massively extended lease not offered to anyone else'. I bring...

    Did Sisu appeal?

    Ok, to keep Grendel happy, I'll make some guesses. Maybe extending it first would make the price too high for Wasps and the Council and Higgs would continue to have to run ACL with no tenants. Maybe extending the lease and increasing the value of the asset they half owned would be classed as...

    Did Sisu appeal?

    I'm not aware of them either agreeing to or not agreeing to, are you saying they refused? I take it you accept the other points.

    Did Sisu appeal?

    The formula price was the maximum the club would have to pay, the club's owners agreed a lower than formula price with Higgs. As part of the same deal the Council were willing to extend the lease to 125 years for free. Sounds like a good deal to me, but alas 'mad' Joy changed her mind.

    2 different sets of emotions expressed in exactly the same way

    Does anyone know the admittance rules for people turning up late? I couldn't get there until after the second half started, but the first steward said I couldn't come in, he brought a bouncer type fella along who said I couldn't come in, but he said he didn't make the rules, I queried what...

    Get on the train from Cov to B'ham International, then as the train pulls back into Cov you can recreate the smug look Fisher has.

    Butts Park Arena - put up or shut up !

    You really are a clown at times. I've made no demands. I asked if anyone had more info on the offer, as it seems from what I've read on here, there must be more to it. Sorry if that has touched a nerve with you. I haven't heard anything, a read an article that suggested the club's debts needed...

    Butts Park Arena - put up or shut up !

    I wouldn't want to accuse anyone of picking the bits of the Shapiro offer that suited a particular argument, so is anyone able to post a link, or give full details, of their offer? I read something that suggested they wanted the club to pay all of its debts off first, if this is true then...
