I have a feeling that ASFC don't pay any rent to Hyndburn Council

Re: How to increase attendances?
 

Tell us where this strange feeling comes from.The last time I spoke to Peter Marsden it seems the Council are only interested in what revenue they can extract from the club and are always looking at ways they can actually increase the revenue......we await your response with baited breath.

From a local councillor

Well ian i reckon whoever told yeh that is telling porkies, I will ask the councillor that stands near me up the crown. A guy i have known all me life.;)

Re: How to increase attendances?
 

Peter Marsden has been doing a lot of positive work in the background with regards to the lease and rent paid to HBC.

I'll check with him when he's ready to release information but I can 100% confirm Accrington Stanley paid rent and council tax to Hyndburn Council.

I'll re-read some of this thread later today and try to repond to the many questions/points being raised.:)

Think hard about who you vote for next time you get the chance!

At the end of the day for the Borough to have one of only Seventy Two Football League Clubs should be a massive plus.

At the same time we have not had an illustrious history of working alongside them but no reason why it can't work for both and become the "Jewel in the Crown".

Re: How to increase attendances?
 

Sorry sir I've seen the lease signed by John Alty and we've always paid rent. 7 years ago there may have been sponorship deals in place to "off-set" rent paid but not any more.

Re: How to increase attendances?
 

End of conversation? yeh really are a strange un, You were the one that responded to me comment!!! we were just having a discussion about the rental situation, I have a 6 yr old grandaughter that aint as childish.:rolleyes:

Re: How to increase attendances?
 

it's easy to end the conversation when your talking out of the wrong hole!!!

Re: How to increase attendances?
 

last I heard the rent was something nominal (£300n ish?) signed up on a very long lease. Dunno about council tax though

Re: How to increase attendances?
 

It wouldn't be Council Tax it would be non domestic rates as it's a business property. There seems to be a big increase in the rateble value in the 2010 revaluation compared to the 2005 one

Re: How to increase attendances?

Re: How to increase attendances?
