Well done Prague!
Like many observers on here I am keen to hear what happens next.3 -
Just come on again to say Congratulations, your persistence has paid off by all accounts.
I still don't agree with or buy into the motivation for you doing all this, but again: You've succeeded and that is no mean feat. Good for you.
I suppose you aim to campaign for a complete renegotiation of the deal now as a matter of course.2 -
It'll be embarrassing for West Ham when it's revealed just how bad a deal they got from the government.........
They might even have to pay a contribution to all the club branding in the ground1 -
Amazing news! Well done @PragueAddick you legend.0

...an excellent idea but I suspect that the press may actually start to look at the situation in a little more detail once the full extent of the stitch up is known so that may not be necessary.GermanEastEnder said:Just come on again to say Congratulations, your persistence has paid off by all accounts.

I'm sure everything's above board and West Ham are paying an undeniably fair rent and make very little from the deal. The legacy and the local community are the board's pressing priority, of course.9

Is this going to embarrass Boris big time ?1

Well done Richard. Let's hope LLDC come straight out and accept the decision, they still have the right to seek leave to appeal to the Upper Tier Tribunal, just to delay publication. They know they cannot win however far it goes.2

on bbc now!
It was on the local London news - I suspect they will be covering it later as well. Their reporter seemed to think there was room for appeal...2 -
Well done Prague. Brilliant news. Cant wait for the fall out now.1

Well done. I do not think KM has realised what she is dealing with people like PA, no wonder she does not want to talk to the Trust with him involved.4

Any idea how long they have before they lodge yet another appeal at our expense?Dippenhall said:Well done Richard.

There's a really interesting political dynamic to all this. Osborne and May would love to see Boris' leadership campaign holed beneath the water before it gets going no doubt. But, depending on the full content of course it will/could also not reflect well on the government as a whole if they are perceived to have pumped money into the already rich business of several party donors.Starinnaddick said:Is this going to embarrass Boris big time ?
Then throw into the mix the possibility of a challenge under EU rules on state aid, which given what's happening at the moment, some will be in favour of, some will look upon as outside interference in domestic matters, and this has the potential to run for quite some time yet and be used by both sides of the referendum argument.
There's going to be plenty of spin to come I reckon.

Brilliant stuff, congratulations @PragueAddick and well done.0

I suppose this will add to Katrien's views that Charlton fans are just anti-women. KM first then KB, who should we pick on next, Hope Powell?RedChaser said:

well done Richard and all those who supported his efforts0

Briefly, thanks for all the messages.
They have 28 days in which to make an appeal. However this time they can only do so on a point of law. The thing is, that just as with the ICO's own decision, the Tribunal was so unimpressed with the argument about commercial harm (extent unproven), that they did not even need to consider the public interest test, (which if applied, could still tip the balance for disclosure). As such, in legal terms its a double 4-0 victory. To appeal now would be an absurdly cynical act, a point I hope to make later on the BBC.32
