    Bury match thread

    Most important fact is that we are still in touch with play-offs.

    We have to pay acl £24m for revenue rights

    Not in the business of pissing on anyones chips - just trying to get some facts into the arguments. People can interpret those facts how they wish and come to their own conclusions. The one fact that I hope all can agree upon is that anyone who posts on this or any other forum has the best...

    We have to pay acl £24m for revenue rights

    Have just spoken to Tim Fisher and he has told me that this number was one that was proposed by Daniel Gidney many months ago and has formed no part of the current negotiations. It was a number that obviously was dismissed out of hand by the club and has never been mentioned again by either...

    We have to pay acl £24m for revenue rights

    Sorry if the facts don't fit your theories but I have put down what ACL have told us directly. The source for this sudden £24 million number is a journalist, granted a well respected journalist, but where did he get this number from? I was told that ACL are willing to discuss and negotiate...

    Boycott stadium franchises

    Boycott them on the grounds that there's not enough horse or donkey (David Bell) in the burgers then yes.

    Boycott stadium franchises

    These would be the food and beverage sales that they have offered the club the profits from?

    We have to pay acl £24m for revenue rights

    Dave - in principal you are correct and there are many arguments in favour of the football club and ACL working together to develop the surrounding land and making both companies profitable and successful. The problem is that the trust that there needs to be between any such partners has long...

    We have to pay acl £24m for revenue rights

    On behalf of the Sky Blue Trust have just spoken to a Director of ACL who has said that this figure of £24 million is completely erroneous. There have not been discussions for the total revenue rights at all and he is mystified where this number has been created from. The profits from the food...

    Football? What the hell has that got to do with us - aren't we all financial experts and commentators? What's all this crap about footyball - has no place on this forum, get it off now ;)

    New £30m stadium in pipeline

    Enough City fans moan about travelling across Coventry to the Ricoh, can't imagine they will be overjoyed about travelling to Warwick or Leamington. Even if they did it they would still owe the back rent on the Ricoh, the stadium wouldn't be built overnight so will they carry on playing at the...

    Pretty accurate take on the Yeovil game

    Baker was the boo boys target along with Murphy but both have silenced their critics in recent weeks and I fully expect Leon to do the same - he is a decent striker at this level and will score goals

    Jordan or Cyrus?

    Clarke sounder defensively Christie better going forward - for me we have to tighten up at the back so I would go for Clarke. Also I can see Christie developing into a decent centreback as he matures physically.

    McDonald vs Clarke Mismatch of the Century

    Clarkes biggest crime is that he isn't McG - he is a good League 1 striker, as his being in the top 3 scorers shows. In the last two games we have missed a myriad of chances and from what I saw not all of them were missed by Clarke - we cannot simply rely on one player to score all the goals...

    Keogh Bonus?

    With Richard Keogh making his debut for Republic of Ireland last night I wonder if we had any clause in the sale agreement re international appearances? Hopefully we did and a little bonus is on its way to the club.

    Baker & Moussa

    By the time he came off Elliott could hardly move, not sure if it was injury or simply run himself into the ground

    Baker & Moussa

    Thought Baker was superb last night until the pudding of a pitch just sapped all strength from him, lead by example and created numerous chances for himself and others. Sheff also looked right up for it, bit selfish at times but still a real threat. Moussa was poor but again he is a dribbler and...

    Tonight's 'new fan' questions and comments!

    Just hope those who are attending for the first time in ages show a bit of patience and understanding and don't come with the blinkered attitude that its "only" Crewe and we must be 3 up within the first ten minutes or they will start grumbling and complaining and worse of all moaning at a...

    Sky Blue Trust Open Meeting In Casino Before Tonights Game

    In many ways you have just answered your own question by bringing up the Portsmouth scenario - too many clubs have been ruined by poor owners who let self interest, ego or whatever influence their decision making and not the good of the club or its fans. Our club has been mismanaged for decades...

    Sky Blue Trust Open Meeting In Casino Before Tonights Game

    Our "job" is to try and make sure that whoever the clubs owners are that they have those same aims and encourage them to keep to those aims. Without a voice there is always the danger that the needs and desires of fans will be overlooked and ignored and we aim to ensure that doesn't happen. We...
