Other things that I don't think I've mentioned:
She kept saying there'd be nothing there that wasn't related to the match day experience. (So no chain restaurants or shopping) literally the only retail there would be a match day pub and anything else directly related to the club/matchday (club shop, etc.)
Does anyone else wonder about the maths here?
A 12.5k stadium, that only makes money on match days, surely can't make anywhere near as much as the Ricoh with 100% of the football revenue?
Why do they need the freehold and all the extra land at the Ricoh if all they want to do to make money is improve the match-day experience. There's nothing stopping them from renting/buying a unit to build a shop (had one) and a bar like they're talking about.
I'd always assumed when they talked about revenues that they meant stuff like concerts, exhibitions, etc. But it seems not. All very strange.

He hasn't been the council leader since the 90s.
Got anything that a football fan might say or just doing some character assassination like your boss?
You're fucking scum mate.

It's funny because I distinctly remember you amonst others giving me a hard time on GMK because I was refusing to hand my shares over to Sisu. How times change.

Really not sure what your point is. If you want to read my post history you'll see when and why I changed my mind about Sisu's ownership and how I think they can still pull it back.
Yes, times and facts do change. Only an idiot wouldn't change their view if the available information changes.
I genuinely have no idea about giving anyone a hard time about the shares, I'll take your word for it. I write a lot of crap on the Internet, hard to keep track of it all.
But back to the original question: Do you have anything a City fan would say or do you just come on here to wind people up and throw insults around? If it's the latter, then maybe Nick could do his job and fuck you off? Adults are trying to talk.

Hahaha, really. Considering my job which I have been doing for 16 years (which I have stated on here previously and you may not have seen), I see between 4-6 clients a day, am in constant contact with local councils, housing associations, construction companies, land owners, farmers, property consultants (and yes I do deal with CBRE) and other professionals, aswell as domestic clients, how would that affect your odds now?

Stay classy. BTW your dad was still council leader in 2000, for the record. I've no idea how you could have got that wrong.

Funnily enough, posting on this site seems to lessen the probability of really unlikely things happening to 1. Uncanny.

I know you're desperate to point to my old man's profession as some evidence of something. But believe it or not, other than his happiness, I don't give a flying fuck what he's doing. I was too busy at that point drinking cheap beer in the Colly and trying to get laid.
I'll ask again: got a single thing to post on this forum that is either on topic, related to football or fact based?

Why does it matter.
I am one of the worst for having a go at posters but when people start dragging family into it it starts to get beyond a joke should be ashamed of trying to out posters with posts like that.
There are not many things worth getting arrested for but family is one of them.

Yes who would take someone who potentially has access to knowledge most people don't seriously?

So we don't judge people on their individual belief or stance, we judge them on their fathers belief or stance?
That seems a low intelligent argument to me!
Considering most of us are trying to pick wheat out of the chaff, what sources do you have to make you so right or so bias as the case may be?

Of course we judge people on their father's belief. That's why we give Ed Milliband such a hard time and why Hitler's relatives were all scum and the parents and siblings of Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were sick bastards too.
Thought that was a given.
This is why I know my dad is not my dad, cos he's a little bit racist and voted Conservative and I am not a racist and voted Labour. If he was my dad I would of course have voted Conservative and said black people smell a bit.
Seemed to work when it came to the hate posts for Maggie Thatcher by those who weren't even born when she was PM

That's because although they weren't even born when she was PM they were still having to live with her legacy. Let's face it she would have loved SISU.

he is bias, hearing council sob stories from his dads pov. no wonder hes so pro council and so pro points deductions!
here i was thinking he was a cov fan
you trolled me shmee

Being pro council doesn't entail being pro points deduction. Points deductions and transfer embargos are the result of SISU management decisions. If bills were paid and accounts were filed on time, these things would not happen. Even if they, SISU, or rather their companies, had accepted ending the JR and a new rental deal - possibly after more negotiations, there would have been no points deduction. If you play with fire, you get burnt.
I went.
Just had a set email saying I was not wanted on this committee, have replied asking why and what was the criteria.

Steve you know damn well what the criteria is that is why the likes of us will not be picked or have a say.
Then again after 80 years of watching them between us and the likely hood they will never come back to Cov I say good would not want that on our conscience.
Those people are killing our Club slowly but surely.

Will be interesting to see what reply you get to this, if any, and how truthful it appears to be. As much as I think the the committee is a waste of time and the new ground won't happen if the forum ends up being only those who are seen to be on the side of SISU it would be disappointing.

That all depends on who they end up selecting. If they announce a team of 10 people who are seen to be in the 'pro-SISU' camp then it's only natural that people will be questioning how independent it is.
