There are practically none. Watched Ed Balls at Worcester Bosch yesterday, followed by Douglas Alexander flap about on QT; and lamented how devoid of ideas and passion the 'new' Labour party is.

Did Benn really need 'help' like this? By God, he'd have demanded to have been heard:

Or would he have stood for crap like this?

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/38...uestion-Time-audience-to-attack-UKIP-panelist

Love him, or loath him - as Bob Crow - he had an opinion and articulated it frankly, honestly and respectfully (okay, delete the 'respect' but for Crow). The political world's a significantly worse place for Benn's passing; that's certainly the case

Just can't think of many politicians around that I could say that i respect anymore.

Dennis Skinner? Always had a soft spot for Ken clarke despite him being a Tory.

Really don't think that any of the new breed of politicians has any sort of principle that guides them, could all easily represent any of the mainstream parties and barely miss a beat.

It's a career in and of itself now, not a vocation, and that's the real shame of it.

Just a homogenised, upper-middle, political class.

The last accounts published are from the period before SISU left the Ricoh, therefore you have no idea whether ACL are distressed or not. Neither do SISU although what they were made party to in the initial negotiations to distress the Yorkshire Bank loan we don't know.

I have no idea weather ACL are distressed or not, correct and haven't said otherwise (you might have misunderstood the 2nd line of the post you quoted).

I do know that sisu set out to and succeed in distressing ACL, There is no contradiction in these statements.

I like Simon Hughes and Alan Johnson - they strike me as being pretty candid; but my list of 'hates' is extensive, including Ed Balls, Yvette Cooper (dinner at theirs must be a bundle of chuckles), despise Caroline Flint, Michael Gove (looks like Pob), Eric feckin' Pickles, George Osborne......

The whole system here is broken but it could be worse, we could have Americas system.

Broken Britain, symptomatic.

or symptomatic of the lack of unity and resolve needed to influence the events our club is undergoing?

They win the JR they may ask the judge to award them their 35-45 million investment back.
If awarded that amount or anywhere near.
Then they could put the club into admin to be sold.

However if the judge felt SISU were in anyway a causational factor of their own predicament. He could still judge in their favour but refuse to award any compensation.

I am not quite sure that would be likely Dong, although that said I am not sure what could happen either way.

ACL is the holding company holds the site lease, and 77% of IEC Experience Limited - which operates the functions and the like at the Ricoh, including catering. Compass own 23% - this being what they paid £4m in 2012. THis being the 'superceded by the joint venture between ACL and Compass' riyadhskyblue mentions above

Do we know if IEC Experience Limited is part of the ACL accounts or will that have seperate accounts?

Not a scooby myself.

Is the 11-12% figure accurate? It's probably net, not gross. Did it come out of the 2009 contract arrangement - and therefore would have been subject to significant overhead (cost of contract, operating costs, etc)?

My guess is that it was a net value - with the gross value much closer to the figures you mention - but not working, hence being replaced by the agreement in 2012.

Ooh. Look at that. A business who has a contract at the Ricoh that's not working, then paying a negotiated sum to replace it with a shareholding. Hmmm.... wonder if that could ever catch on?

From ACLs sky blues trust q and a answer (q12).

Match-day F&B Turnover in 11/12 season was £1,010,992, with Nett Profit of £119,903.

= 11.86%

so what you're saying is that the original argument and rent strike is over £ 119,903.00 pie profit a season. why didn't they just put the ticket price up £ 0.60 and stay at the Ricoh? that would off brought in an extra £ 132,000.00 not including cup games on an average of 10,000 crowds.

(edit) just to add, they could off made clear the reason for doing so was because of no access to matchday revenue's making ACL/CCC enemy no1 to the masses instead off the other way around.

Why stop there...the list could go on and on.

Most have never had a job in the real world, and are career politicians. I am a regular reader of Private Eye who have highlighted our plight on several occasions, but sometimes when I read about the level of feather nesting, corruption, and people who are self serving and rotten to the core it turns me cold about our politicians.

Do they go to shitfields ?

I think you'll find that despite the amount of alleged corruption both at local and central government, it isn't anywhere near what it used to be. Why would it need to be when the wages they get are large especially as a lot have second jobs/business interests etc alongside what they do. It is more a case of the politicians hiding/covering/turning a blind eye to the people they are 'friends' with. It is there that corruption is rife and the real money decisions are taken but we will never get to see it out in the open.
