The timing is actually driven by the council's ethics committee date
Haven't seen many articles about councillors owing the tax payer shit loads of money and being investigated for fraud though?
It better be in capitals or at least a slightly larger font. I'll even accept italics.
We'd want to see some actually evidence of fraud before reporting such things. Especially if the person in question wasn't able to defend themselves.
However, we'd certainly pick up such stories once investigations are complete or if charges were brought.
But it'd be really poor form to run something like that on the basis of one person's complaint to the police for instance.
And raking over old stories about tax bills, that have previously been covered, doesn't seem like it offers a great deal of news value.
But I think we're going off on a tangent now. Especially as we're on a football forum.
So anyway, where is this meeting on Monday - I genuinely will bring popcorn... sealed bags only though after all this salty & sweet discussion...
Council House, Committee Rooms 2&3 - 10am.
The "hell would freeze over excuse" is embarrassing bad.

It's not about agreeing though.
Yes the reports only came out today, yes you only got them today, yes you should report it.
It is the way there's no mention of it being from May and you come on here and try to push about the timing. If the timing is important, then you would have mentioned the date it all started.
Couldn't agree more. But this report and accompanying documents are now in the public domain. If we don't report it, it would get out anyway. There's also a public interest argument.
Sisu are the ones pursuing this complaint. They may have a case, they may not. What is for certain is that it as unfortunate distraction and comes across as a bit self-defeating at a time when they are top of the table and in credit with the fans.
Just my view.
I'd rather just present the facts and people can make their own minds up.
During the interviews, Coun Lucas was referred to a note taken during a council briefing in which she was attributed as saying “hell would freeze over” before the council should do a deal with Sisu. She said the comment had been made as she conveyed the views of CCFC supporters to colleagues, rather than expressing her own beliefs.

You think we should suppress news? What's ok to report? Just so I know.
Sure the fact that no meetings about the Ricoh appear to have been minuted or recorded is anything to worry about.
"They" as in the club they operate, not Sisu.
I sense, you probably knew that though

But why
It was without doubt the prevailing mood of the fanbase at that time.
Is she a fan spokesperson? She loves to talk on behalf of people.But why
It was without doubt the prevailing mood of the fanbase at that time.
The bit that stands out for me is SISU's new lawyer.
And that there is Rugby at the ricoh with music.
But why
It was without doubt the prevailing mood of the fanbase at that time.

90% of the fan base would be indifferent either way.
To suggest Lucas is interested in the views of the public on any issue requires a quantum leap of faith
Nonsense.But why

Nonsense.
The panel is chaired by Labour Councillor Joseph Clifford and includes Labour colleagues Coun Damian Gannon, Coun John McNicholas and Coun Linda Bigham as well as Tory member Coun Allan Andrews.
the independent report, paid for by the council
All seems totally above board to me

I was going to post this but couldn't remember what it was on. Was it The Day Today?
