Assume the June date is to do with how long it will take to get the ground built in time for next season?

So if it goes later it would mean leaving it to the season after?

 

Has a team ever moved grounds mid season???

I thought it was something to do with a deadline from UWE - or am I misremembering...?

Last season Coventry moved back to the Ricoh from Northampton

 

I thought it was something to do with a deadline from UWE - or am I misremembering...?

 

I am pretty sure that it was reported as a UWE-imposed deadline after which UWE would pursue other uses of the land ear-marked.

 

What I find remarkable is how seemingly patient UWE have been up until this crossroads. To get through all of that and then impose a deadline for a date which it's a helluva stretch to expect this to be totally resolved by just makes no sense.

The UWE is dead and won't happen the sooner those thick inbreds realise this the better

This cas is about Higgs getting his investment back before he ***** off to Italy nothing more nothing less

 

Agreed, I can't see there is any way that they will manage to go through with the UWE plans.  They will be at the Mem for quite a while yet and I am actually looking forward to reading about whatever their next bullshit harebrained scheme is!

Being pedantic (but I guess of necessity, practice of the law needs to be pedantic) surely "it is vital for the club to know by June" means the start of June? If what was meant was "by the end of June" wouldn't this have made this clear to avoid ambiguity or specified "by July"?

 

I agree, that is exactly how I read it.

 

Guess as written above, it's all about lining pockets now

That's relatively polite! not here for a bitch, but look forward to playing you in league 1 season after next. You will have a shiny new stadium - we won't. 

 

Now come on, how many times have we heard that old chestnut rolled out by you deperate sags over the past, what, 10 / 12 years? Its the only glimmer of hope for the future you have

 

You have sneaked promotion through the play-offs into the basement league, you will not be getting a new stadium and you will be staying at the dilapitated mem which if your lucky will get a lick of paint or maybe a new tented roof, you are in the most precarious financial position probably in your history which will only get worse once the new stadium bubble bursts and you are financing the running of the club through finance through loan sharks

 

If I were you, rather than concering myself with what my neigbours are doing, I'd be more concerned I had a club support the season after next!

Surely that's not a serious comment?  I'll bite though. Think about this: which club is more likely to fail in the division they just got promoted to - the club that ran away with their division and ended-up with 99 points and won a cup on the way and which will be backed financially next season (City) or the club that won promotion through a play-off final penalty shoot-out and will struggle financially next season (rovers)? I know which I'd put my money on.

serious comment- I don't doubt we will have financial hardships and those are what we are used to- but we love the club and many of us are  prepared to have a reasonable conversstion about Bristol football, just very difficult with you lot- pewrsonally I'd just love to have a derby game - miss those a lot...

I expect you would, because it would either mean we'd gone down two divisions or you'd been promoted two. Edited by GrahamC

You suggest want a reasonable conversation but kick it off with the ludicrous notion that you "look forward to playing you in league 1 season after next"........

Reasonable conversation? Nothing reasonable at all about an expectation that within 12 months we would be in the same division. There is nothing reasonable about an expectation that we would be relegated based upon how promoted teams generally fare during their first season in the Championship, the way we play, the plaudits we have won, the way we dominated the league, the way our infrastructure is etc etc etc. Equally there is nothing reasonable about an expectation that you, you who quite feasibly could be in administration within just weeks, would get promoted from a division you've barely even looked like challenging** in during recent times.

 

** I don't include in challenging your 'brief' flirtation with the play offs that hilariously resulted in relegation. You'd think these grandiose delusions would stop. But no, the gift MUST keep giving.

You'll have Yeovil and Exeter :-)

Who knows, if you hang on in there during your inaugural season as a league club you may meet Swindon in 2016 - after their 30-point deduction for financial jiggery pokery.

The difference between your current financial hardships and past "glories" is that you have never owed money to Kneecap Loans PLC before. You had better hope you at least cover that debt in any compo you might be awarded because you are playing with the nasty boys now!!

So I just checked the RCoJ court list and nothing... she must still be deliberating... haven't seen her name on the courts listing either for a while, not since the case she presided over after Sainsburys v Nick Higgs and co... hmmmmmm

yep- don't forget where you had to come from suddenly......

Or you, hope you enjoy being the 'new boys' in the football league, I'm sure that you'll manage the step up, but if not, Alfreton awaits next season awaiting the big payday of the "Prowed Gashead Invasion".

If you still exist.

Likewise, don't forget you've been a league club for a month..

 

They really don't want to face us at the moment, they really don't!

From the sag forum...

 dislike this.

The club tweeting that we were playing 'BCFC' must have worried a few.
 
They have also totally overlooked our excellent away record....
 
As for c*tys draw, Luton away, that's got home win written all over it.
 
Utterly shot away!!

Dear god. Away wins at Telford, Nuneaton, Southport and the like. They also seem to have missed our rather handy home record! I can't take that lot seriously, I really can't.

I might be wrong and just missed her name as there are loads of Judges and cases daily... but she is definitely taking her time with this one...

 

She's really not taking her time. This link http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2015/ is a database of the Court's judgments during 2015 (most recent at the bottom). If you look go to June and click on one of the links you'll be taken to a judgment. Top right hand corner has the date it's released, centre of the first page will show the hearing dates. Ignoring the regional courts or where judgment has practically been released instantly after, a month to 6 weeks from end of hearing seems to be typical running time. Didn't Rovers' hearing only end on 27 May?

 

Plus there are peculiarities in this instance:

- It was a new judge drafted on to the case last minute,

- the hearing was 7 days whereas most of those recent judgments released had hearings of just a couple of days, that's double the information for her to wade through,

- The Southward Housing association case seems to be about contractual terms and their effect and that took nearly 5 months (I'm not suggesting read across, merely just pointing out that in this instance its only just coming up to 3 weeks),

- It seems very likely that whoever loses in Court will appeal. Therefore she's going to want judgment to have dotted i's and crossed t's completely as chances are it will be pulled apart and tested.

 

Because judgment was asked for asap it seems like this is going on for a long time but you can't rush justice and in the grand scheme of things it's really not been that long yet.

Thanks for that 29AR. I stand corrected. :-)

No worries pal, I have to correct myself from earlier on as I was under the impression that the lead in currently was more like 10-12 weeks

 

Anyway tomorrow looks like a no news day - she can keep taking her time all the way until July hopefully :D

Don't forget our judges need to attend those really important extended lunch dates they can't miss or golf days with their pals. Can't be rushing those.

Absolutely. But then again you'd have to get a few perks to make up for the 90% pay cut those commercial law QC's take to join the bench.

Be fair, they could probably afford some new plastic garden chairs from The Range or Wilko.

(or B&M, if money is really tight)

On a footballing note, I use the term loosely, I see one of the star players, 34 year old "Bob" Monkhouse, has shot his bolt and has turned the offer of new contract. He's apparently got a better offer from a bigger club. I think it's Hartlepool, but not bring an expert in Basement football, I may be mistaken.

Those thick in reds over at gasheads.org are now saying the the council should pay for their new ground because a successful football club is a benefit to the city

Typical river want something for nothing again

I remember the out cry from the gas when they claimed the council sold Ashton Vale at a knock down price. Also why would Bristol City Council build a facility in South Gloucestershire.
