And I'm a Count - or at least I think that's what Rob & Torchy call me. ;)

We've been here before. Many, many times. Even SISU seem to accept that the level of the rent was related to the amount of the mortgage. Hence the plan to buy out the mortgage, rather than just lobby for a rent decrease. Either way, it's old news, surely.

Always get your retaliation in first, Rob. Appeal for everything, nick a yard everytime the ref's back is turned, and nail the goalie at every opportunity. That's I'll I've ever asked for. ;) OSB is an anonymous fan here like almost everyone else. If there's an issue with what he says...

That's not what I'm saying and you know it. He's made the mistake of suggesting that someone who posts an opinion that he does not agree with works for the other side. It's common enough, that, and unworthy imho.

I don't think that's ever been denied. However wasn't the sliding scale proposal turned down (edit: by the club). I guess we'll see. In the meantime, what were SISU doing about it from when they bought the club up until the roadmap/rent strike?

I'm sorry Rob, but that's unfair. Almost everyone here posts under anonymity - which is why it's important to look at the facts (or what people state as the facts), and challenge them, this rather than to start assuming hidden motives. I don't think it's a secret that you're a friend of Les...

I think what the judge means is that it can't really be classed as paying the rent. This also points back to a decision in court as I recall, where SISU were told they had to top up the escrow as well as paying the rent due.

He isn't Gent, or at least I'd be very surprised if he is. I've considered Rob a friend for a long time. It doesn't mean he's right on everything, mind, and I detest this Council-plant, SISU rent-boy stuff. I wish we could just leave it out, personally. Appreciate you were kidding when you...

That's way out of line, Rob. It's like asking you if you're happy working for SISU.

Given this is (vaguely) football-related surely you need to be 110% confused, otherwise you're clearly not trying hard enough. ;)

Surely "Congratulations". Stick with the classics. Plus they played it at Wembley for us, or at least the marching band did. Ah, now he's on about the "marching" again, for sure now can you not just leave it. ;)

Bah, bloody closet liberals - far too left wing for me. Why, I bet he's not even related to the Queen. ;)

Meh, fwiw Irish father, English mother. Would always support England over Ireland in sport, since that's my country of birth, but have no problem with those who celebrate their heritage more than me, even if it's technically more distant. It's handy having two teams to support, especially in...

Absolutely spot on. Twenty years ago pretty much my entire social life revolved around CCFC. Five years ago I gave up my season ticket. Last season (for the first time I can remember since the late 80s) I didn't go to a single game. If we're in Northampton next season I'm thinking of getting...

Ah. Can I just add this then. Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Apologies if this is already out there somewhere, but I just wondered if anyone had seen anything official about how long the JR is scheduled for in court? I might try to pop along. I'm not really fussed about the detail, but I'd like to see what Joy really looks like in person. ;)

And here it is, all official like... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27701666

Ah, once again we've lost out to a 'bigger' club who used to be a smaller club. Are Sphinx letting anyone go in close season? Just a thought. ;)

Indeed - in fact I'm coming to the conclusion that it's all history now, to a greater or lesser degree, and all of the parties have to start looking forwards rather than backwards if we're to get out of this mess. Personally, I think that that means SISU start talking about a rental agreement...

Mornings NW. Agree entirely that the SBT should stay as reasonable as possible in it's dialogues with our owners (whomever they may be), regardless of provocation. As for Haskell's motives in offering fan involvement, I don't think there's any evidence one way or another that he would have done...
