Only when you stop blaming the board for every little thing that is wrong with our club then WHO is to blame ? who makes the decisions ? We know what the problem is, its BOX 1, we just don't need it rammed down our necks every time something is what you think is wrong with the club. I can moan as good as anybody but i don't think for one minute our friends in BOX 1 give a flying f*** about us fans so whats the point Constructive criticism is ok but just chewing the fat because you spotted that santa grotto was in the wrong place is just a waste of time

If you cannot see i was using the "Santa Grotto" as a stupid example of what people moan about then there is no hope What we say or go as individuals or as small groups like the Welly group will no impact on what the BOD do or say. The only option we have is either withdraw our support (not an option for me) or encourage the board in their endeavors to TRY and improve the club. Constant winging about what has gone wrong only forces them back into their collective shells Don't get me wrong i've think the board and 1 or 2 in particular are very very poor in their responsibilities to the club and i would love NH to bet rid of some of the dead wood and replace with go a head business people with the club at heart, but we have as much chance as that as winning promotion this season.

From the man in the know:
Rovers legal team for this case are David Matthias QC and George Mackenzie (junior) of Francis Taylor Building based in London, not Burges Salmon. Watola is hardly going to say in a public interview that BRFC have a "plan B" or how they are funding their legal costs. Part of their case is based on the fact they are skint and will be in trouble if they don't move to UWE. Therefore, in public they are going to play on this. As I've said previously, they have a "plan B" and maybe even a "plan C" for that matter. Talk of administration is way off the mark.

This truly is the longest suicide note in history. Whoever decided that this was a positive piece of communication wants their backside kicking from one end of Gloucester Road to the other. Yet another embarrassment, do they really think we are that stupid to accept this? Deluded doesn't even begin to describe it. The truth is, a large amount DO accept it and give their support to the imbeciles who are running our club. I say our club but let's face it, it's a 2 man Junta. The target of splitting the fan base has been very successful and it's the main reason the chairman feels he can act in the manner he does. This guy makes Geoff Dunford look an astute leader by comparison & even Geoff acknowledged that the verdict wasn't even close. Sad times indeed.

How is begging for sympathy going to help their case? If they ultimately win, then this may help with claims for costs, but do they seriously think that a High Court Judge is going to take pity on them rather than make a judgement based on law?

It would appear that Geoff was't such a good judge of character that he thought he was when he brought Higgsy in to save his position as Chairman.

Plan A is a one legged turkey that, even if can be made to stand up, won't lay the golden egg they need to build the stadium. Since they're still pursuing it, Plans B and C must be less viable. In getting the funds to build the stadium, that is. In chasing $ and a personal jackpot, however, the comparison might be different and Plan A with its diminishingly small off chance gets flogged to death.

What I said last season was that with the resources available and the right manager we should have won a pitiful division. Let me just check what happened last season, here we go, Barnet, managed by the man I said would win the division were promoted as champions. Maybe read my post again. Did I say that the appeal wouldn't be granted? I don't know, maybe it will, but it won't help much as enforcement of the contract will still be way way off down the road. no i read your post but if the board believe in the appeal they have to follow it through,,,,,,,the conference is simply the next division down to league 2 thats all. fans of a certain age like me imagine we should be a top lge 1 club or a rubbish championship club but im looking forward to this season in lge 2 very much,,,hope you are too? Wow, talk about out lowering expectations. As much as I am relieved we got promoted, I am both ashamed and deeply embarrassed that we got relegated out of the FL. our fans have the ammunition of 1982 but now they have May 3rd 2014 forever in their armoury. I am 51 years old and so have luckily seen limited success but also a great and attacking team that Bill Dodgin handed over to Don Megson. For me that was the best Football and period. There is now 3 generations who have been brought up with no tangible success and never seen us in the 2nd tier. We should be pushing the current board and not appeasing them. Phone is great but false hope is a terrible thing and I feel we are on the ship of fools, being led by a man whose ego will not allow him to accept defeat graciously and to move on. We are looking at a man who could well take us into administration. Yes, I look forward to being back in the FL but it doesn't excite me. I now worry about our very existence and the constant white noise of appeals and court cases mean we can never concentrate on the main thing that brings us here, Football.

Agree with Seth although would've opted for goose not turkey but perhaps turkey chosen as plan B involves eating it when it fails to lay

Sir Geoffrey of Keynsham, spelt K E Y N S H A M will return to save us. Why did you change it, has he moved? That would explain why it's been impossible to contact him to offer him the vice presidency or invite him to their disco. It all makes sense after all.

Given I doubt NH is instructing Chamber directly then I assume Burges Salmon are instructing our " legal team"? Although personally I'd consider a legal team is made up of both the solicitors & the barristers, not one or the other.
As far as NH listening to the fans do any forum users think that's ever going to happen?

George Mathias QC represented us in both cases and now will be leading the Appeal. He is away on holiday today but is back on Monday.
This is his profile

David acts for a wide range of individual, corporate and local authority clients, specialising in public law and judicial review, commercial and property litigation and arbitration, licensing, planning and local government law.

David's overseas work has included a recent appearance for a consortium of property developers before the Court of Appeal in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Identified as a "leading silk" in both The Legal 500 UK Edition and Chambers UK Guide, and lauded as a "great technical barrister", David has been consistently praised in those guides as being "Strong both technically and legally," and "... always prepared to muck in and work hard for the clients...". He is consistently ranked as a leading silk and as having "made a name for himself" for being "subtly persuasive in court. His broad practice includes an active public law portfolio, and he has conducted a number of important judicial reviews in the past year."

Perhaps if he supported the bloke he brought in as a ally instead of setting the bloke up we would not be in this sess pit. I fail to believe the dire Rovers situation is all the work of one man alone, Nick Higgs.
