Depends on the holidays, cars and house etc. the solictor(s) want this year.

Hehe. Those greedy solicitors who work 15 hour days who get paid a fixed fee (which is ultimately negotiated down and doesn't reflect their salary at all).

Definitely their fault.

I reckon 35000 spurs fans should each send them a shit in a jiffy bag through the post. would be funny as fuck.

Or the club just turn the whole rest of the site into a temporary silage storage facility for Hertfordshire farmers.

Have you ever stopped and thought that just maybe, possibly, they could be right and you could be wrong. Maybe these "many stupid fans" are not the stupid ones after all. Just throwing it out there like

mate I was just in your street and passed the postman, he said he was trying to deliver your Arsenal season ticket but he didn't know if you still lived there :whistle::meh:

Any solicitor who is working 15 hours a day for a fixed fee is shit and the only people who would use them would be because they were appointed by the state.

Do you think the owner of Archway walked around the corner and popped into his local solicitor and they applied for a high court injunction? LOL

This sheet metal work company is represented by a firm whose offices are basically next to the Old Bailey and they were behind the Arsenal Stadium Regeneration Scheme, London Olympic Bid Planning and Swanwick Marina to name but a few.

Knowing this and how it works I was just playing on the fact in my reply. I didn't think anyone would be that naive not to understand it.

However let me explain it another way...

Knowing and applying the law over and over applying for these injunctions etc. just makes them richer and richer regardless of the outcome.

Obviously a different case but the point remains....

Arrested in 2004 and finally extradited in 2012. Why did it take so long? because lawyers kept applying for injunctions based on a breach of human rights over and over (basically exploiting the system). This cost millions and you think solicitors were working on this 15 hours a day for a fixed fee!!!

Before you reply, which inevitably you will, I suggest you read Bleak House (Charles Dickens) before you do because once you have read it you won't reply but you will award me a Winner star :)

In case anyone is interested The link below is to a book entitled the Law of compulsory Purchase. A good cure for insomnia. I found this as having a discussion elsewhere saying Archway could take case to EC Human rights, the other party said it would be the Euro Court of Justice. For the record, if taken to Europe, it would most likely be under Human rights Legislation see para 1023 for previous cases etc. Snore away.

Does anyone know, as opposed to guessing, whether this 37 event annual limit on at wembley includes, or excludes, what might be classified as smaller events? Events where say the top tier of seating is closed and the capacity thereby reduced to 50k or so as I've seen mentioned somewhere? Cheers.

Seeing Archway interviewed on SSN, I at least took comfort that they said they realise they will have to go and are willing.

Think this is a timing thing rather than if it will happen or not.

Out of interest, who is acting for them?

From my experience, there aren't any jobs we do that we don't have to quote for. And yes, a partner may improve his equity slightly as a result of a drawn out case. But the drones working around him are definitely on a fixed salary with probably an hours and billings bonus that doesn't amount to much. That's all. Just defending the drones as a drone.

I saw this last night...with the daughter being interviewed...

"we don't want a big payout, we want..."
Very long pause...I think I had time to get up have a pee and get back to the tv...still pausing while she finds the right words...

"we want whats right"

My issue with the Sky Sports News emotional appeal interview is that it's all very one sided because ENIC/THFC have remained very tight lipped because of the sensitive nature of the case. Anything that could be said would probably get reported out of context to make the big bad company look like the evil party.

I'm still very cross about all this...:unsure:

if that's the case then I don't see what the problem is. The price is set by the valuations office and not thfc........ Though you can get it'll be a dam sight lower than we previously offered, but then that's the risk they took and the gamble lost. Their appeals have probably cost us a lot more than they've lost, so they can go swivel as far as I'm concerned.

I agree and it is difficult to understand the full picture as not a lot of info coming out (certainly from our side).

Just felt at least they know they will have to go at some point.

It'll be interesting to see if we begin to hear some residents' and businesses' voices now. If they genuinely are in favour of the regeneration scheme and are frustrated at Archway for holding it up, then we should hear them voice their frustrations and dissent. If they just see it as Spurs trying to get a new stadium and using the vehicle of 'regeneration' to get public support and government funding, then we won't get their support. I think if I was a home owner or business owner in Tottenham, I'd be furious at Archway for holding up my future success and prosperity and the improvement of my local area, and would be telling anyone who'd listen that I wanted the scheme to go ahead.

I read that we have offered them land, and relocation costs but not rebuilding new premises. The land offered is already owned by ENIC, near the North Circular.

Is that true? Is that fair?

"group of utter wanker spurs fans lambasting ENIC"
mate I was just in your street and passed the postman, he said he was trying to deliver your Arsenal season ticket but he didn't know if you still lived there :whistle::meh:
Thats a cheap pathetic jibe mate. I was quoting another post. A post from a "pro ENIC" member actually. I love spurs. I fucking hate woolwich and everything they stand for. To even suggest otherwise is the worst possible insult you could throw at me.

Yeah you're right...if they've accepted that they will have to go at some point its a good starting point and maybe there will be some kind of final offer/deal put on the table.

There's also the argument that if they have accepted what will be the inevitable outcome, they clearly don't think they can win an appeal and are just digging their heels in hoping that an offer will be forthcoming from us.

Without any idea of whats been offered, what the value of the business is and what they want/expect, its hard to know what I'd do if i were in DL's size 4 loafers.

The waiting game just gets longer and longer :(
