The Club is so going to be mad that this has got out, I know they were keen on keeping this situation under wraps, as they dont want to have a public fall out with the Blues. But as it has "leeked" out. I may aswell tell you it is true. :shock:

Not paying them for their merch i guess, and bagging the money ourselves.

sharing a stadium was never a good idea realy, how are fans supposed to call it home when we have to share it with the egg chasing beer swilling posers. :twisted:

This HAS to be looked into, if it's true there's no better grounds for getting the thugs kicked out of our ground. Evidently it's not another "income stream" because they're not paying, so bye!

Apart from a contribution towards stadium maintenance (probably somewhere around a few thousand pounds) I have always been of the belief that the Blues don't actually pay any rent. Ridsdale once admitted that if they wanted to go back to CAP he would be happy to let them go.

Therefore do you really think he would be so co-operative if we were really receiving £750,000 P/A in rent?

Bollocks would he.

Curiouser and curiouser.

a thread that starts with CCFC owing Blues money, finishes with Blues owing CCFC money.

AFAIK, Blues paid a lump sum at the start of the season.

Ridsdale is so co-operative due to the fact the Blues can unilaterally pull out of renting the stadium after the first season. Meaning there's nothing Ridders can do to stop them going if they wanted.
