There is waiting for the reminder letter to come in before paying and then there is waiting until hours before your company is liquidated to pay. The latter would suggest we are far from being in rude financial health.

I think you meant 'do try to be objective' when posting, but feel free to continue being subjective if you want.

I never said or implied we were in rude financial health, but I doubt were on the brink of oblivion either. Think the important thing is it was paid and cleared.

I did indeed mean objective but the spell check changes what I know I mean to what it thinks I mean.

Regardless of our mutual dislike of each other do you honestly feel that the club will be cut from SL? I very much doubt it, if the club were in that serious trouble pretty sure after what happen in Wrecsam there will be much tighter controls in place, meaning they would step in before it got to that stage and try to assist as they did with Bradford and the purchase of the stadium.

If we're paying peppercorn rent like Wilky has been suggesting why is he also saying we need 8,000 per game plus 500 execs?

His statement goes against the grain of everything we've heard about the statement and is confusing to say the least.

This would be to cover said stadium rent/service charge and pay the full salary cap, but the land is a seperate deal at £1 per year peppercorn rent this was mentioned in the original stadium plans from about 10 years ago.

Big Pev, i remember the story about the land ten years ago (ish). What I dont understand is why wilkys mentioned it cos surely it doesnt mean anything any more. We dont own the stadium, and so why would we rent the land it is built on?

Also, you seem to know more than most about the cost we are paying, is it less that our costs at the willows do you think? i.e. is it a good deal? and if Sale are paying more is that because they will have prime tenancy or is that again another rumour?

The land is all the land from the road to the canal and is quite a few acres so when stuff is built on it we can get some revenue from ground rent etc, I don't know how much the willows cost to run, rates, water rates but not rent. I believe the club have a very good deal and as for Sale that is just business, like lots of different businesses pay different rents in the same building for similar areas, prime tenancy a yawnian feature.
