Didn't Waggott and the Bishop Of Coventry broker a deal?

Ties in nicely with the Wasps move doesn't it? Why else would it all be so sudden, I know people would have known about the Wasps move before that but I don't buy they came back because of a Boycott. They wouldn't do that 2 games into the season with a huge rush, they could have done it pre season and made the most of it. They would have known everything they needed to way before then in terms of numbers.
The Cathedral were also involved I think?

The council never promised CCFC fans a new stadium and a site to be confirmed in three weeks.

To name but 3.... It would give me cramp if I typed all the posters on here that give CCC grief.... a few more... Moff, cc4l, covmark, SBWM. Need I go on?.... Come on lads, come out of the woodwork for Torchy and show yourselves

Very plausible, they're not known for getting figures right though, last season proved that, so a possibility is they forecasted a major loss due to boycotts and decided to come back with their tales between the legs. But that's just another guess I suppose.

True, they charged us more in rent than Wasps paid and then gave it to them for 250 years, longer than the life of the stadium. Still, who cares as long as SISU get slagged off, eh?

And I could mention a lot more like you, Tony, Dart, etc who don't give a fuck what part the Council played in our downfall.

I only see a council protecting an asset, whereas SISU were... protecting us fans I guess? LOL

I suggest you go take a look at the latest ruling from the "Supreme Court" where the Judged said in no uncertain terms that "SISU new full well what the rent on the Ricoh was when they signed for ownership" Or have you conveniently passed on that?
torchomatic

Ah, so they shaft us by selling it to a London based sporting franchise and they are just protecting their asset. Fair enough, I won't waste any of your time.
torchomatic

Yes, they did, of course. Does that make the rent level right or fair to the club you support?

Surely if they were protecting it that much they would have just extended the lease before for ACL?

You're only wasting your own time in believing SISU were doing it for the interests of the fans.

I know you didn't ask me....but my 2p on this is that we moved back to the ricoh due to the murky pre-deal conditions of the sale to the wasps franchise.
I'd bet a fair few quid that one of the conditions of purchase was that wasps had CCFC in place as a sitting tenant......simply a "must" to attempt to calm the waters, help smooth the transition & embedding of the stripey cunts into the local sporting & wider community.....
We'll never know of course, but as I said, I'd wager a few quid on the above scenario.....the old ACL had been flashing their undies at wasps for a good long while......that much we do know.

It matters not a jot what I think Torchy(I personally thought the rent was too high) It's what SISU didn't do that matters.

They'd needn't have bothered. They were welcomed with open arms.

Do people honestly believe SISU came back because the council convinced them they this it was the first step to buying ACL. If they came back ACL would be sold to them.
At the same time ACL was getting sold to Wasps and SISU had no idea.
Then when they arrived back low and behold they discover they had been duped !!!!
It was never going to be sold to them!!

I wonder how this story would of panned out if SISU did get control of The Ricoh...

Well, that's what they said publicly. Even the good old CT printed the story.

Well, I remember people on here writing to their councillors begging them not to sell to SISU as they would mortgage the Ricoh as soon as they got hold of it. Quite amusing that Wasps did the same thing within weeks. If SISU had've got hold of the Ricoh then I reckon there was a good chance that they would be gone by now as we would have been a lot more attractive to any potential investor or buyer.

Well, you would shudder as it would have been advantageous to CCFC, not something you agree with.

Not at all. It's just that I wouldn't "shudder" at the prospect of my team owning it's own stadium and being attractive to new buyers.

I reckon they would have loaded up some debt against it and there would have been city wide outrage. They would have said it's all about the football team and they weren't property developers to keep people happy, then they would have just waited a year or so and then claimed that the football team is just a bolt on to a property company.

SISU need to pay their investors, The Ricoh would of been a great asset to their investors, seems odd to think they''d sell up when they could of made more money for them in the long term.
