Indeed. Hopefully the consortium and locally councillors are looking hard at both the call-in request (which PCC will not make public - I asked to see this form: "The request to call-in a decision must be made in writing or electronically, using the agreed form" but the request was refused and I was told that they'd summarise it for the meeting's public pack!) matched against the Council’s constitution, and any pre-meeting or meeting shenanigans? Note that there has been nothing in the local press since Tuesday to celebrate this great victory for AEPG/PCC when Butterfield said: “We will provide a full analysis after this has sunk in." I bet you will. We await that analysis.

wont be the first time grudziadz have stopped riders appearing over here 

3.59 less reduction.

The appeal meeting has much more justification to be appealed than the original rejection.

Get hold of Private Eye and let them loose on the story..... They love council decision making, and highlight plenty of "questions" around why decisions got made, after initially a completely different decision was announced.. Rotten Borough's is the title .    

Once Tom was poached during last season it really put them on the back foot, making things very difficult. Whether this will be fully to blame for their potential demise is a debatable point. I’d rather compete against a stable and competitive Birmingham side but that’s just me looking at the bigger picture rather than the sadly adopted win at all cost approach.
