    PSL seats

    Should say, that's the cost of raising a claim for this in the county court. No defence means a judgement by default, a defence lets us see what their excuse is before deciding to go to court. Worth £30 to see that defence, imho.

    PSL seats

    Must confess its late, and I've had a glass or two, but had I a PSL they'd be having to raise a formal defence against a county court action already. Only really two questions: who was paid for the PSL, and who did the letter come from. I've made the offer here before; I'll cheerfully do the...

    Ian Calvert's letter about a "meeting." Who does he think he is?

    Not quite - she started off by taking on the FL, and when that was just a bit too difficult/complicated for her she went back to the usual political bollocks as it's a lot easier. If she had any care about the club she'd do more than just whine about the CVA. So, of absolutely no use here...

    ACL seeking franchise

    I doubt Cov RFC would have any intention of moving to the Ricoh. They've got a tight operation going at the Butts - just about perfect I'd say. More to the point, I don't think they'd want to be involved with all of the ACL/SISU arseholery. As for comparing rugby players to footy players...

    Coventry attendance at Sixfields ‘to be smallest in league history’

    I can see lots of reasons for people not going to Sixfields, and not many for going. I really hope the attendance is p*ss-poor, because it will build massive pressure on SISU to either move back or move on. Having said that, I wouldn't slag off fellow fans for going, because I understand the...

    Tim Fisher - "you'll be back after 3 matches"

    That's a remarkable response from someone who says that they are going to Leamington this season and is clearly gutted to be doing so. If you want a statistic to draw proper inference from, I'd look at the one regarding average attendances whilst SISU have been in charge. Even without all of...

    Byng at Orient with Waggott

    I think we're allowed to have a bit of a laugh at him, fwiw If he's really got multi-million pound investors, then I doubt that someone poking at bit of fun at him on a message boards will put them off. If not, then nuts to him for being either a dreamer or a plant. (Given his mini-rant at...

    Orient Fan in Peace

    Says the pillock who stirred it all up. Non ccfc fans? Seriously.

    Byng at Orient with Waggott

    Just thought I'd let you know, I've got some enormously rich investors from somewhere very, very far away where you can't get email. So, can I have a couple of seats in the directors' box, and a tour of the ground please. And if I could go on local radio a few times too, that would be lovely...

    Torchomatic

    It wasn't me mate. Kind of funny, if you'd read enough to know that it clearly wasn't you, but probably not so funny if you actually are you! I hope no one is picking on you, fwiw. We clearly differ on stuff, but at least you're generally polite about it. Long may it continue, pretty boring...

    Anyone hear Ann Lucas's interview on Cwr ???

    First off, why do the club need to own the freehold in order to access the income streams? The rent didn't seem to be an issue at all until we got relegated. And then when the rent was dropped it was about F & B, and now it's gone from there to owning the freehold. It's quite clear now...

    Breaking News - Judge kicks out SISU's judicial review against CCC / ACL

    They aren't claims in the way that you've been talking about claims, for financial damages. They are court cases relating to whether a public body has made a proper judgement. And I don't much care for being called that, thanks.

    Breaking News - Judge kicks out SISU's judicial review against CCC / ACL

    Again, I'm afraid you're wrong. You may or may not know more about the law than me, but on this you're dead wrong. You're talking about a claim here in a financial sense, and it's pretty easy to find out that Judicial Reviews of this type rarely if ever give rise to damages. I would have...

    Breaking News - Judge kicks out SISU's judicial review against CCC / ACL

    There is no compensation at issue here. Just a judgement regarding whether the Council's actions were proper. Would you stop now with the bullshit.

    Breaking News - Judge kicks out SISU's judicial review against CCC / ACL

    Come off it. You don't have to explain the law to me. This hasn't even made it to a full Judicial Review, it's fallen at the first hurdle where a judge has decided that there isn't even enough of a case to take forward to full court proceedings. And it's not a claim. It's a JR. There are no...

    Breaking News - Judge kicks out SISU's judicial review against CCC / ACL

    It's not a technicality. A technicality would be something like not submitting the correct papers in time. The judge analysed the facts, and applied the law. "I am not persuaded that there is an arguable case that the loan by the council constituted an unlawful state aid. "It was made on...

    Breaking News - Judge kicks out SISU's judicial review against CCC / ACL

    I'm sorry but that is, once again, utter rubbish. This is the judge saying, your claim is without merit, go away and pay the other sides costs. They can appeal it, but that's that. On what possible basis could they restart the process with a new JR? They'd have to begin with an entirely new...

    Breaking News - Judge kicks out SISU's judicial review against CCC / ACL

    See your point, but now I think about it, it's actually a pretty big case. With this put to bed (assuming no successful appeal), I think it means that ACL can sit and wait SISU out. Fundamentally this earns them a lot of breathing space - the Council hold the mortgage, so they're not going to...
