24 clubs, barely any in the top tier, or even the top 2 tiers....lol
I assumed the majority of PL and even championship clubs would have supporters trusts, and ACVs in place. Evidently not. On either account.
Personally the ACV is of little interest to me, nor I suspect the club.
It seems a symbolic thing with little benefit over an asset owned by the council. I understand distrust of HCC, but this thing means little to nowt for our club.
Just to be clear on something here, AKACTWD don't get a first, personal heads up if HCC decide to sell the club, it's a general, public announcement. One which none of us would be able to do a thing about.
So, if you have a point about how or why this should or could affect me, say so, without being a clown shoe.
I don't give a fig if it does or doesn't affect you in your tiny world, Happs

Yet you make stupid posts involving me so clearly you do.
Here's a tip for you, try adding a point next time, you won't look quite as confused and obsessed about me.
Would an owner in Manchester or Liverpool dare to sell the ground leaving the club homeless? I doubt it would happen due to the death threats. That's a proper deterrent. Remember how two summers running Steven Gerrard nearly went to Chelsea? But he wanted to live.
Actually, we would get a personal heads up, along with the opportunity to delay the sale for 4 1/2 months if we wanted to buy it ourselves, as we're the only organisation with a registered interest in the ACV.
Other community groups could also register an interest(a Hull FC trust for instance), but at the moment there's just us.
It's not so much symbolic, as just a way to make sure we know what's going on, it's not really a big deal, we're just taking advantage of recent legislation to make sure we're kept informed.
Cheers, Lambo.
You see, Happy - with me it's just a gut feeling that it's a good thing (registering the KC as an ACV). I don't have the insight that HCST has. But then, neither do you.

It's just a way to prevent Allam from ever getting his hands on it, and getting your own on it instead to use it as a cash cow and you know it.
I'm working on the hotel and retail park plans as we speak...
What does the ACV actually include? Just the stadium, or the land around it as well, or just what's actually being bid for?
Yeah I get that OLM, it's just that the simpler minds on here, like my stalker, the obsessed Stanley, think its more significant than it is.
From the point of views of, HCC wouldn't decide to tell, then tell you before anyone else knew what was going on, despite all their failings they're not that stupid, plus, even with the information, there's not a single thing you can do about it. Therefore, it's mostly symbolic.
I'm not, and have not mocked this initiative, I know what it is, and I know why it's done, its an OKish idea, serves a sort of purpose, I just don't see it as a huge deal as some seem to, and I know it won't bother our club like some suggested it was.
If you're in a bar in Brum, shouldn't you be getting lathered?
I've been working, I've had a couple of pints, but I've come to the room now to see if we can see the Palace game, got a table booked for 7.45 to have a few more.
Is this a reasonable hypothetical?
If a businessman was talking to the Council, and those talks eventually lead to them tabling an offer that included a bid for the stadium, it's only at the point that the Council decide that the offer's enough to accept, possibly as part of a wider deal, that they would open it up to consultation (which it would do without the ACV) and then open it up to other offers as per the ACV. I would expect any bid to have to show the same return as the wider offer.

If HCC gets what it considers to be an acceptable offer for the KC(the ACV only applies to the KC and area immediately around it, not the surrounding areas), they now have to come to us and see in we want to match it and we can demand a set period of time to generate the funds to purchase it.
If any other community group registers an interest and meets the criteria, then they would be afforded the same opportunity.

So the hypothetical scenario is correct.
Before talking about bids, the liklihood is that the Council would consult the public to see if the sale was acceptable In principle. Assuming the public were in favour, the ACV would then mean other bids need to be asked for, which they'd be open to in any event, but the consideration of those bids would include any wider benefits?
