Olympic Stadium; our day in court

So the Tribunal resumes -and will conclude this time- on Thursday. PM me if you are interested in attending and are not gavros. :-)
This is the point where I will have half an hour to put my case, and trust me, I'm not going to waste a second. It would be unwise to be over-confident, especially when some of the last day was in closed session. But the general consensus was that in open session the LLDC evidence was weak and floundering, and the Information Commissioner 's barrister, - the quiet assassin - assured me that the same pattern continued in the closed session. That wasn't surprising when the CEO bottled it, and sent his Finance Director. We almost certainly won't get a verdict on the day, but I remain convinced we have a strong case, and it is for the LLDC to win an appeal, not for us to defend our position.
The excellent Coalition media team are rounding up journalists to get maximum coverage. I will shamelessly ask any of them I speak to afterwards to let me say a few words about Charlton's plight too. In fact I can think of a line that will seamlessly segue from the one issue to the other...
Cross fingers for me and the excellent crew of London Trusts all of whom are with us in our fight against the regime too.44 -
With you in spirit if not in person, Richard. Sterling work.3

Good luck. Perhaps ask Ms Tongue to generate some coverage for you? :-)5

Maybe you could ask her, more clout, being a fellow Woman In Football, or whatever she calls her informal sect. :-)Curb_It said:Good luck. Perhaps ask Ms Tongue to generate some coverage for you? :-)

Apologies, thought she was West ham lawyer or something.
Thanks.0 -
She's something to do with Women in Football, hence the KM link I imagine.1

Steve Tongue was a co-founder of Foul magazine. It was actually very seminal, but not completely clear of sexism, it used to ridicule a fictional woman football reporter called, if memory serves, 'Glenda Slag'.2

Good luck with the case mate0

I hope you get the chance to put your whole case.
In my limited experience the establishment always find a way of winning if that is what they really want by fair means or foul.
Good fortune Sir.2 -
Good luck Prague. Did you see the recent statement from West Ham stating they want to add more seating to the OS?0

Very best wishes, Richard. Could well cap quite a week - beating Boro, the spectacular protest, RD's stunning own goal and now the penalty shoot-out with WHU/LLDC. Truly David shocks Goaliath !!1 -
They? Do you mean us, the tax payer?The Red Robin said:Good luck Prague. Did you see the recent statement from West Ham stating they want to add more seating to the OS?

This is the comment of a very silly person.gavros said:
Don't be silly, I'm not a narcissist who wants to get involved in things way over my station, I'll leave that to you.PragueAddick said:Now, back to your very senior West Ham people, who presumably did not include the Baroness, otherwise you would have told us. Would you like me to put up here the letter from a Very Senior Person Who Is Not The Baroness, presented to the Tribunal in which they outline all the things they are concerned about? Because if you can confirm they are actually not concerned at all, and what this meeting was, I could mention this to the Tribunal and ask them to ignore the letter on that basis....
