What is called "rent" is not rent. It is the sum of the rent that should be paid under the lease and the fees that should be paid under the licence. The significance of this is that much of the licence fee covers direct costs. Thus if the Club doesn't play much of the cost is not incurred and thus the reduction in revenue is matched in part by a reduction in cost.
Godiva says "So far I haven't heard the mortgage terms have changed ... only that the mortgage is now owned by CCC and not Yorkshire Bank. There are no words that the conditions have been changed, as CCC haven't yet refinanced it. So ACL continue to pay exactly the same as before." It would seem to say that because he hasn't heard that there is any change there can't be. The first part of his statement is presumably fact. He doesn't know. How then can he make a firm statement that there is no change in what ACL pay?
If Godiva is Fisher I don't have a problem because I can simply ignore it, if Godiva isn't Fisher why is he making unsupportable statements that he wishes people to see as fact?
Did Reeves/Mutton not openly say that the council were putting a lighter interest rate on the mortgage than the bank?
