Would be interested to know if what CCFC has paid to ACL as match day expenses includes VAT or not. My understanding is that the Rent at Ricoh is not chargeable to VAT (no option to tax has been made). So if VAT is charged on the match day expenses and CCFC has paid it then they must therefore accept it is not rent. :thinking about:Wonder if anyone knows for sure ? Also strange how the £800k was quoted before Xmas, that it was £10k match day expenses per game now it is being said £12k (£10k plus VAT perhaps?), anyone look how many games have been played since last April ? Anyone know when the actual date of the last rent payment ran out?

As for rental deposits, escrow accounts etc, we can argue amounts but these are often sought especially when the tenant is high risk or there is some impediment to recovery action like the "football creditors rule". I would expect at the end of this there will be something similar but less in value

As for the rent being agreed, no it isnt nothing has been signed. Can we please get past it being quoted at £150k it isnt and never was.

If the talks have broken down is any of this actually still on the table? :thinking about:

I am guessing that the money CCFC have paid as match day expenses has not been paid to ACL but paid to others that ACL normally pay without which the match can't proceed - eg police?
If that's true it becomes arguable whether it is "money paid as rent" which would fit in with comments from ACL.

I don't think I was disagreeing with you, just unpacking those points a bit.

No problem m8, my comments were to SBTaylor, who never answered on the 2 points that I made.
