Judicial review day 3 - judgement day (23 Viewers)

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Last day of the test match today.

Acl qc will be done by lunchtime and then we will get our verdict in the afternoon.

Whatever the decision, i feel unfortunately we won't be back at the Ricoh this season.

Every fan just wants Coventry back in the city.

We should never have reached the lows we have.

@TheSimonGilbert: En route to Birmingham for what will (hopefully) be the third and final day of the judicial review involving Coventry City Council and Sisu.

 

[Rusty Trombone]

Has it been confirmed that the verdict will be given today, I thought it could be days or weeks later?

 

[Sky Blues]

Judgement Day eh? Hopefully, CCFC will soon be saying "We'll be back"...


...in Coventry (not in court).

It's unlikely the judgement will be today.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Sad sad sad. Grow some balls someone and make a deal

 

[spider_ricoh]

It's unlikely the judgement will be today.

On what basis is it unlikely?

 

[ccfcway]

As a cov fan i have started today optimistic, safe in the knowledge by the end of the day I will end up confused and dissapointed

Whilst a lot of information seems to have been thrown around, I suspect the Judge will have cut though most of it as being superfluous and will be able to make a decision fairly easily.

My gut feeling is that the Judge will dismiss most of SISU's arguement as hot air, but we will wait and see......

 

[italiahorse]

Its CCFC
If you are hopeful of something it will not happen.
I expect several weeks before a judgement.

 

[Moff]

Third day already...doesn't time fly by when you are having fun!

Wonder which pair of sunglasses Joy will chose today...Prada maybe?

According to you, somehow this means we will be back at the Ricoh tonight and SISU will be gone. Better put your pomagne on ice, spider.

I never said it would be immediate, but it has to be the first step in getting back home

I know that feeling - I thought, on my way to Wembley in 1987, that we'd done well to reach that point, but that we would probably end up disappointed having put up a good show. What happened is history and I thought the even better times were about to start.

However, supporting the City is a roller-coaster ride and there were more ups and downs on the horizon. We are currently on a downward track and I can't see the bottom yet. Hey ho - chin up (he said with more than a little hope in his heart)

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I think the ccc media blackout will now come to and end which may lead to a more public forum with sisu.

Think most people hope once a judgement is made then acl and sisu will get round the negotiating table to return to the Ricoh even if it means one more season at Nham.

I think everyone can agree that even if either side had the desire to get a deal on the table this JR is a big hurdle in the way. thats not to say a deal will be done unfortunately i think the JR still has a way to go yet...

 

[skybluebeduff]

It may be the last day in court, but believe me when I say, it's going to be a shit summer with SISU, it will be worse than last!

Players coming in? Forget it!

What we have left is all we'll have too.

I don't think the JR is the hurdle, I think Sisu are the roadblock to a realistic deal* and that the JR is only a hurdle Sisu put in the way (in my opinion).


*I don't think "unencumbered freehold" is a realistic deal - at least not at the price I suspect Sisu would be prepared to pay.

From Mr Gilbert on Twitter: "We're not expecting a judgement today as the judge will pour over the evidence tomorrow before delivering his decision."

 

[torchomatic]

I guess the judge will have to study the evidence and cases of both sides.

On what basis is it unlikely?

 

[torchomatic]

Hold on. I thought you didn't care as long as SISU lost, even if it meant staying in Northampton?

I never said it would be immediate, but it has to be the first step in getting back home

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

@TheSimonGilbert: As well as the judgment on state aid, judge will need to decide on six-figure costs and, if Sisu wins, possible damages.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

@TheSimonGilbert: People now arriving at court. Council legal team is here, no sign of Sisu yet.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

@TheSimonGilbert: Coventry City chief executive Tim Fisher along with Joy Seppala and Laura Deering of Sisu have now arrived at Birmingham High Court.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

@TheSimonGilbert: Sandra Garlick of the CCFC Stadium Forum also in court today sat next to CCFC chief executive Tim Fisher.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Garlic obviously taken sides with sisu. Fans stadium my arse...

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

@TheSimonGilbert: Judge due any time now. Expecting to start a little earlier today. Council QC will continue defence first, then maybe ACL up and Sisu again.

 

[ccfcway]

What's this got to do with garlic ?

 

[Rob S]

Judge in and off we go with the CCC QC

 

[ccfcway]

How come sisu get to go again ?

Was a day and a half not enough ?

 

[Rob S]

Clive Eakin has been relegated to the public area at the back with the rest of us. I'm on the back row behind TF & SG with Pat Abel, D & Jon Strange.

Completely independent and nothing to do with the club. She is probably just updating him about what we fans want for the new stadium.
