Nothing to do with distance for me. If I went to Northampton I'd feel like I was supporting our owner's decision to move us out of Coventry, and as italiahorse said, actually prolonging how long it will take to resolve the situation. I'd feel exactly the same if we were playing anywhere other...

Oh great, now you tell me. I've just ordered another one. ;) Kipper ties are still in though, right? "I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it', and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you, too!" (Grandpa Simpson).

If we'd had supporter ownership before then, we probably wouldn't have been at the point of going into admin, and therefore been panicked into bringing SISU on board.

No issue with Private Eye looking at all sides of the issue, though I've cut out the stuff about Pelka as to my mind that's an unnecessary contrast. With regard to their statements on the Ricoh issue though, they're falling into the same trap as a lot of people. If ACL can continue to make a...

I think there's a confusion here between buying the club, and trying to fund operating losses. The idea, presumably, is that clubs have to be made sustainable if owned by supporters. Personally I can't think of anything better than a club partly or entirely owned by fans. Minimises the...

Always followed by the shout, from the Keeper (usually whilst picking the ball out of the back of the net),'No one shouts "Keeper's" except for me!' My personal favourite is "C'mon lads, we've got 'em rattled!", traditionally called after having just scored a goal, the opposition now only being...

To be honest, I think in terms of getting the JR done and dusted more quickly, this is probably is good news. SISU's case, which seemed fairly weak from the off, is now even weaker. To me this makes it more likely that the whole thing will get chucked out on 28th November. If SISU wanted a...

Thanks KH, btw, for going to the trouble of writing this up. It's always good to hear first hand what's been discussed, regardless of opinion regarding the plausibility of the plan etc.

Ainsworth has at least turned up some evidence to back his assertions. Byng couldn't even get an email from his backers... no wait, erm... it wasn't an email problem, erm... they got nervous... no sorry, the dog ate my homework... and er all of this wrangling, it's costing the city billions...

Why on earth would you take a three-year deal from someone who has a 43-year lease. So that 10,000 people can sit in the Ricoh whilst the rest of the city gets screwed? Still, as long as you've got somewhere to go on a Saturday, eh?

Generally speaking I like Les Reid and most of what he writes. But it feels like he's starting to take things a bit personally, and worse, make things a bit personal. 'A few angry obsessives' is a rather unnecessary insult. If he thinks everyone here holds the same opinion then he really...

Well, I'm pretty sure he used to be called True Sky Blue. I suppose he is at least now being honest as to where his real allegiance lies.

I'll leave it after this, because I think if you feed the trolls too much they keep coming back. However, the one thing you're right about is that most JRs fail. 85% fall when they are first assessed by a judge. Of those that fail and ask for reconsideration (in effect, appealing the original...

Sunshine, we've been here before. I've done research and provided evidence - you've ranted, disappeared, and then popped up again with a new username. I think it's pretty clear who got embarassed.

Lots of very decent people work for the Council actually - including some of my immediate family. Cov CC are the town's largest employer, as I recall. For a fanatist twot like you to call them a disgrace is beyond the pale. Why don't you go away and come back again in a few months with a new...

Would you stop it now. You agree with TSB because you are TSB! And you complain about others swearing and then pile into it yourself. Get a grip man. As for your legal points, they're about as flawed as in your previous incarnation. When did SISU last go to court for a JR (other than against...

Well if anyone can do it, then do it. The simple fact is that you're making a claim to have been involved in countless cases against the council, but can't offer any evidence for a single one. The most obvious reason for this isn't to protect your identity, it's because you're lying. In fact...

Actually, no swearing in my post at least. I remember that other fellow quite well. He too, was completely convinced that the JR would lead to fines and damages to paid to SISU by the council, though he too was very short of actual evidence when challenged to show a precedent for that in a...

Really - can you provide a link to one of the cases you've been involved in please? I think you're lying, frankly, but I'm always happy to proven wrong. You don't have to surrender your anonymity for this, obviously. Many JR judgements seem to be anonymised, as below, and I'm presuming that...

Right, leaving aside the other stuff, here's someone claiming legal knowledge who doesn't quite grasp Judicial Reviews. There aren't any fines associated with a JR. Even if the council lose (and personally speaking, I think given the apparent strength of the first judge's rejection of the case...
