    Baker vs Pressley

    When he got the sack there were quite a few players who tweeted things that clearly showed there had been problems between SP and the players. Whatever you think of the standard of some of the players we had and if any of them should have been retained the treatment of them with the whole bomb...

    U18s v Arsenal at the Ricoh

    Doubt there will be any parking restrictions in place for an U18 game. Should have made it free parking to encourage people to go.

    Bit early but where in the world are we holidaying this year

    Since I've lived in Southsea I've never once been to the IoW. Even as a foot passenger taking the hover its £19 return. And that would be of no use if you wanted to go for a night out as the last one back is before 9.

    U18s v Arsenal at the Ricoh

    Can't even find them on the website. Just bollywood films and bhangra nights. Are they on there, am I looking in the wrong place?

    Bit early but where in the world are we holidaying this year

    Having a few days in London in March for a music festival. That'll probably be it for me this year, finances are tight with getting divorced. Unless there's a weekend in the Wembley area in the spring.

    He's staying at your house, just hasn't told you yet.

    Mean while back in court

    CCC were talking with Wasps in March 2012 (or earlier but that is a documented date). Richardson met with Rossborough in late 2012, that was confirmed by Rossborough when interviewed by CWR. Richardson took over Wasps March 2013 from his business associate David Thorne (having previously been...

    Mean while back in court

    The Rossborough Richardson meeting was confirmed by Rossborough when he was interview on CWR so that definitely happened and happened before Richardson purchased Wasps. You have to admit it all seems to indicate that before there were rent holidays, rent strikes and moves to Northampton CCC...

    Mean while back in court

    One very interesting thing was that it appears CCC were talking to Wasps, or about Wasps, before they were taken over. This ties in with CRFC saying they were approached about working with Wasps by Richardson before he took them over. Kind of blows the notion that they were planning to move...

    That might be a good result for SISU. If it moves out of the hands of CCC there could be an increased chance of an offer to make it all go away.

    Is he saying the bonds are effectively a loan that has been used to pay the council loan and they should therefore order the bonds to be repaid? Can't imagine thats likley.

    Wonder if the SISU lawyer has drawn a picture of Ann and hung it up in his office?

    It was £5.6m for ACL (50% from Higgs, 50% from CCC) and then another million to CCC for the lease.

    Confused from Coventry

    He also was quoted about it causing problems with having to leave players out as we are at the limit which would indicate he was talking about loans. Realistically we're looking for a goalscorer. I can't imagine there's many good strikers sat around unable to find a club.

    Could be I guess. Wasps wouldn't have had total control of ACL without Higgs share so may not have been able to have control over an extended lease negociation.

    ransom strip is when you own a piece of land that prevents access to another piece of land. So for example I owned the piece of land you needed to cross to get to your house but put up a massive fence and didn't allow you access. Not sure how that relates to Higgs or ACL.

    Thing that frustrates me is that there are rules and guidelines for many types of state aid that all follow the same basic process. Its a process you should go though to ensure you can't be accused of incorrectly providing state aid. There's a lot in there that the council haven't done but...

    Mean while back in court

    They seem to have not wanted CCFC to have it since day one. No idea why. There was the grab of the freehold when CCFC were supposed to own 50%, the attitude to other bidders at the time SISU took over who wanted a stake in stadium ownership, and then everything that has happened since SISU took...

    Mean while back in court

    I suspect you are correct. The council must have known how close to the line they were so would almost certainly have had every little thing checked out and checked again to be safe. The thing you take from this is the narrative the council is giving in court is very very different from the...
