    Council Hearing Match Thread

    Actually I didn't say he was biased I said the quotes attributed to him in the CT make him sound like a council defence lawyer. Go and read them yourself and see. You may disagree of course but that doesn't mean your viewpoint is the only valid one. IMO it reads very much like he is defending...

    Are you sure about that? Thought it was stated first time round that he worked for a company that was employed by CCC.

    Netflix - Making a murderer

    I would guess they will follow the new lawyer and her attempts to get it back into court. She seems pretty confident in getting an appeal hearing so that will be the focus of the series. Surely at the very least Brendan Dassey will get released. Can't see how his conviction stands up to any...

    American Crime Story

    Another cracking episode last night. I can't remember a lot of the details of the case from when it actually happened so I'm trying to resist the temptation to read up on it.

    If you read it not knowing his role you would think he was the council's defence lawyer!

    Have you read the council's code of conduct? In particular section 4. You should give it a read and then look at the 6 points SISU complained about and the evidence presented.

    Council Hearing Match Thread

    Nothing like what Wasps got. The £24m would give us revenues only from the days on which we play at the Ricoh. You'd probably need to make in the region of £25K a match (profit not revenue) to even break even at that price. That's a lot of pies and pints.

    What was termed 'matchday revenues' so you would get parking, pie money (I would assume ACLs cut after Compass as anything else wouldn't be theirs to offer), hospitality. That kind of thing. And of course that was over the original term of the lease so 40 something years.

    Barnsley (away) match thread Tuesday 7.45pm

    Could be carrying a knock. Although if he is he shouldn't be playing.

    Really? Buying Higgs share wouldn't give them a controlling interest in ACL and wouldn't give them any say in decisions such as rent. Sure they could have made a suggestion that the rent be lowered but with no controlling share and a lease in place it wouldn't have given them a strong position...

    To be fair given that they were quoted £24m its not really a surprise they didn't rush to get the chequebook out.

    Actually if you look at Wasps previous moves the move to the Ricoh is following a very familiar path. And as we know both their previous moves saw them later walk away for a perceived better option.

    And again you twist the narrative to suit. Using your example what if the market value was a fiver and you offered a fiver and got told to get lost. The simple fact is you have no idea what talks took place, as with all of us you can only guess. The difference is whenever someone suggests a...

    The Worst Addiction ?

    You might be thinking of the work David Nutt did. He was the governments advisor and wanted things classified based on actual evidence of the harm they caused. Alcohol was right up there (after heroin and cocaine) and above things like acid and ecstasy. He got the push when he stated, IMO...

    Ricoh Railway Station

    If that's the best they could come up with they shouldn't have bothered. What an embarrassment, looks like something from a crap heritage line. Reminds me of the football specials when we used to play Villa and they were worried about the trains being smashed up.
