Why? We want all the money that the Ricoh makes then we have a vested interest in making it the ultimate venue. Having owners who are experts in property development would thus be the ideal solution.
Dead right and any other supporters forum would have kicked him out the room for even mentioning that. No doubt our supporters were nodding and clapping their hands. Another reason we are the laughing stock of the football world.
Again i can see no reason why it hasn't been done in the past if so important.
It seems a clause designed to attract people(such as Sisu in the past, and PH4 now) who would have no interest really in the football club as it's own entity.
If somebody rocked up with a few bob who was only interested in the football club, would they then be refused?
If we want all the money the Ricoh makes then an expert in property development is kinda important.

just a quick question, is ccfc a anchor round the ricoh?
Not really, or does it not make any money now?
As a club owning having half the revenues from the Ricoh should surely be enough without spending loads of money on development projects that may lose money.
What stops the council/ACL(nobody has really said who owns the ground around it) from selling land to Hotel developers etc now or in the past?

Half of the shareholding in ACL doesn't give us half the revenue. I am certain that the stadium already makes money but we're talking about trying to make even more and make the enterprise all the more profitable-it's no different to a football club expanding its stadium. Ultimately nobody can draw money from ACL until it repays the council's loan in its entirety.
I really don't think that building a 200 room hotel will suddenly turn us into a succesful football club.

The Trust really gets under your skin doesnt it? I'm so pleased:claping hands::claping hands::claping hands::claping hands::claping hands::claping hands::claping hands:Cashless,
Only 150 Trust members turned up at the Ricoh on Saturday . And I bet most of them wasn't members so best have a pop at the other 2050 members that didn't turn up.
I think a lot of people signed up and paid their £1 to the Trust like most people put their small change in the charity box in the pub.
A pointless organisation that is not and never will be the voice of Ccfc fans. My opinion .
As in if Mr Fisher carries out his threat. Would the Rivoh be better of with a different sports club. One that wants to pay to use the facilities?
By loading more debt onto the club through property development?
Again, if so important why hasn't it been done before?
Where the hell did I say it would?
I'd rather have owners who were experts in running a football club well.
Again, where did I say this would be the case? I am not in charge of ACL and I can't speak for how they choose to run their business. This is a purely hypothetical scenario and requires the club to own the freehold currently owned by CCC in order to be viable.
Nuneaton Sky Blues?
Come on BSB you must know that's not the way it works here. If they can't pick holes in your opinion, then they just create an opinion for you and slate it. You must be used to that by now.
People seem to be going off on wild tangents. If you want all the money that the stadium makes then that means you take responsibility for making it as successful a venue as physically possible-and an owner with property acumen would be an ideal vehicle for achieving this.
How much is the freehold? Is the freehold for sale to any owners of the football club?
Believe that some councillors have said that the freehold would nveer be sold to the club no matter who the owners are.
I believe that the Higgs share of ACL is only for the leasehold anyway, nothing to do with the freehold?
Come on BSB you must know that's not the way it works here. If they can't pick holes in your opinion, then they just create an opinion for you and slate it. You must be used to that by now.
This for example BSB, is where I endorse dragging Nuneaton fans kicking and screaming away from their spiritual home. Which is an absolute identical situation to ours and I am a hypocrite of the highest order.
What is the point of doing the property development that apparently the club have to do if it isn't to help make the club successful?
You can't be slated for that opinion, so it will be misconstrued.

It is what you have actually advocated several times though dongle.

I hope 'I spoke to PWKH individually' won't translate to 'I pray to a wax sculpture of the H-Dog at the ACL Shrine'.
Brilliant so what we do is build another stadium eh great idea of course the new stadium will be free no debt loaded onto the club:facepalm:By loading more debt onto the club through property development?
Again, if so important why hasn't it been done before?
Funny isnt it all the "true City till I die/not a penny more" types that are so voiciferous on this board couldnt be arsed to go along and support the trust tonight. Believe me they REALLY need you and less than 30 people turned up to the AGM.
If I was the Trust I would come on here and tell you lazy, apathetic bastards to take a running jump. REAL organisation and agitation takes action, active membership and debate. Something that far to many people on here are more willing to do from a keyboard. Shame on you.
