I've heard they're only serving in those floppy plastic glasses in court too, just in case.

@TheSimonGilbert on twitter says Fisher has arrived at court. I wonder if he'll offer to buy a round of drinks? (Fisher that is, not Simon. Who's ever heard of a journalist buying someone a drink.) ;)

Then there was the one about building a brand new stadium - but that one was just too obvious, who would ever fall for that. ;)

I'm confused - how could ACL/CCC/AEHC hope to take over if SISU continued to pay the bills? The only way SISU could have lost control of the club is via Administration, there's no other route for anyone to take over the club (other than selling at an agreed price), is there? And if SISU were...

Ah, in fairness I didn't care too much about Leicester all those years when they were a division or two below us, so it's nice to know that we're still a bigger draw. ;) All banter aside, as far as I'm concerned it's good to have another midlands club in the top flight. Saying that, if I was...

Ah no, Mr Labovitch never said that, he was misquoted. Ah no, sorry, turns out he wasn't. Seriously, how could you ever trust a man who claims to be misquoted when caught out? SISU and Labovitch simply can't brook dissent. They threaten action through the courts as a method to surpress free...

I miss 'Bullsh*t Thursday' - we haven't had one of those for a little while. ;)

If you think the only reason people aren't going to Sixfields is because of the cost and inconvenience, then you're kidding yourself. I'd say it's a pity so many make the effort, because if no one went I'm pretty sure things would change quickly. Still, it's your choice to go and I respect...

Hmm. I hope for the sake of the good people of Holbrooks that G4S aren't handling the security and delivery options. This sounds a lot like the start of a cheap horror movie to me. If we ever do go back to the Ricoh, I'm going to be checking underneath the toilet seat before sitting down. ;)

Fwiw, I think a big part of this case comes down to the valuation of ACL, and hence the loan, at the point when SISU had stopped paying the rent. As I understand it SISU claim that at this point that ACL was valued at less than £7m, and hence suggest the loan from YB could have been bought at...

They're just lucky I'm not the judge! "Twenty years! Take him down." "But m'lud, this is a civil case. And we haven't made our opening arguments yet." "I don't care. Twenty years. Court is adjourned, unless you'd like to join your client." ;)

Accepted, but I'm trying to keep an open mind. There was a great quote yesterday from someone along the lines of 'some people are trying so hard to keep an open mind that their brains have fallen out'. I'll have to watch out for that!

I think it's not unreasonable to say that whoever wins will have been found to be right in the court of law, based on a point of law, as judged by a neutral arbiter. Whether that means they are 'morally' right is rather more ambiguous. I suspect that will be argued for some time after both...

Good analysis as ever OSB. I'm struggling to see how SISU's counter claim works. Basically you've got to think Higgs have got something in writing to say that SISU owe them money for walking away from the HoT. SISU's claim is that Higgs did something to scupper the deal at least six months...

Personally, I'm entirely supportive of the actions of the Charity. SISU have got plenty of form for breaking contracts and as far as I'm concerned it's good that someone is taking them on with regard to it. As for the counter-claim, that's entirely their right but (imho) it's hard to see it as...

Ah, your generosity knows no beginning. Of course, being from Warwick, I presume you only keep pound coins to put on top of the £50 notes to stop them from blowing away when the butler opens the window. ;)

I'm not sure. Don, do you know? ;)

It obviously isn't the case though, is it Nick? Look at the interest in Kingharvest's posts and it's perfectly clear that a lot of people have been following what's said at the SCG from afar. Be honest Nick - you're not overly keen on the Trust, and on that basis you don't really care if they...

Seems that you and Nick are both struggling with emails from the Trust. Last one I got was 15th March. It ended... This group meets on Thursday 20th March and representatives of the Sky Blue Trust will be in attendance. If you have any matters you wish them to bring up on your behalf at the...

Personally speaking, I think the Trust has represented my opinion far, far better than the SCG. Ward & Strange stood by when trust members and fellow fans were accused by the club of acting for Weber Shandwick. Where's the apology for that? I'd flip the question around. Exactly how do the...
