1)Isn't it one of the league rules that the football club has to have first option on all dates? Games get moved for TV and on safety grounds and I think they can be randomly moved with the agreement of both teams but 2) if the Ricoh was unavailable on a date we were scheduled to play and the other team wouldn't agree to move what would happen?
I know the FL don't have a great track record on enforcing the rules but you know this would be the sort of thing they would see as an easy way to throw their weight around.
What a stupid comment. Point me in the direction of anyone who doesn't want CCFC playing back at the Ricoh

No they care about constructing a business model they believe will enhance the clubs long term saleable value.
What's stopping ACL for making a 3 year rent offer matching or bettering the Northampton as an interim measure?

There's a statement at the bottom of this article, posted elsewhere in here today: http://wireinthebrain.wordpress.com...ideotape-les-reid-and-the-ricoh-row/#comments
That states: 'No-one would dispute that the rent was too high (though I understand ACL’s last offer was below what the club is paying at Sixfields)'
If you believe the article; they may already have done so
I don't believe the article, I believe that relates to the offer to the administrator.

If they came back to the Ricoh on the last rent offer directly to then. it would still cost them less than the estimated 2 million losses a year they will incur at Sixfields
And ACL would still be benefiting from £1.5m+ income from the club to add to their turnover...,

And the club would be benefiting from playing in a stadium that it couldn't afford to build itself.
Nothing is free in life.
And fans will have to accept that we will never be a PL club as our income is restricted...

Life's a bitch.
Perhaps the club should put in a offer??

ACL get 1.5 million ( at 400k rent and giving over 80% f&b, probably not) but I will let that slip.
SISU no longer lose 2 million and will also earn money on top
Everyone's a winner
Not really though are they? Not in the medium or long term.

If they seize the moment and negotiate the 150k sliding scale rent. Then I think they would be both medium and long term.
The alternative as you say building a new stadium is patently not a viable option.
Or build their own ground....

How will it? We will still be restricted in income in terms of ticket sales and the odd bit of sponsorship and merchandise.

A shed out in the sticks?
That might be the ambition of some CCFC fans, (and coincidently the owners), but I want more for our club than that.
Are you saying a £400k a year is the difference between League 1 and the Premiership?
The owners of Leicester just bought the King Power stadium for £17 million, so surely that is the starting point before adding a value on for the surrounding land that is owned by the council and awaiting development.
What extra profit would we have from Ms Sepella's ground vision to be spent on the team that we would not have by a cheap rent deal.
Haven't been back to Leicester for years are the two comparable in terms of facilities/size etc. ?
I have no idea. But a rental deal at the Ricoh with limited access to additional and match day revenue will certainly make PL football almost impossible to achieve.

Why? The rent & F&B is peanuts compared to ticket sales, but that is the very thing moving to Northampton has cut by 80%!
You argument is nonsensical, it certainly does not rely on mathematics!
Ok jack, you are right, addition revenues will have no impact our turnover is fine without them and Will have zero impact on the medium to long term future or our ability to get to the PL.

The loss of 80% of turnover caused by moving sure will!
If the Judicial review application appeal fails then unless Joy puts in a serious offer for both ACL and the freehold* we'll be in Northampton until a new ground is built. The rate things are going that could well be the the medium term.Your talking short term, I'm talking medium to long term. Yes the Northampton move is idiotic, but we need to get the best terms possible if we return to the Ricoh to secure our long term future. Its no good agreeing to a 10+ year deal it's no access to revenue.

Do you really believe it is all about the pie money?
The point is the alternative makes it completely impossible
