From a fella who thought the whole "activities" during the hearing was hilarious and fun...really?!
Please grow up yourself.
That may be true. However, I think most Town fans need a sense of the absurd to get through the sorry business of STFC fandom. And even harsher aspects of our lives. Tech-savvy (immature) kids making a mockery of something as serious as the Court system ticks that box. When nothing much was at stake, as today. The serious lesson for the grown ups is that the administration of justice needs to get its act together and be funded to do so. |

One of them actually posted himself in the chat at one point, I grabbed a pic of him but can't share it due to legality of sharing it.

The "public chat" thread was rather interesting reading too...not!

 Was the highlight of my month. Is everything in your life so serious? |

No of course not but when it comes to a legal hearing most people wouldn't enter a public gallery with a poster book full of penises, so the same applies online. I can see the mild relief and humour it might bring but it really doesn't help the image of the club does it? As for highlight of your month, well that's all relative as I don't know your personal circumstances but I have more stuff going on in the real world so to speak, so this was not a particular highlight for me personally. |

I am appalled that there appears to be little respect for the courts and the judiciary.

Not that Companies House have him down as a director, but isn't that the Swindon way!
Perfectly normal practice, nothing odd about it. Basically this is what I can make out from what I have been told/read, I am sure the legals on here will say that I am wrong etc and put me in my rightful place in the relegation zone but here goes.
I hear Standing/Barry doesn't want the club, Power is desperate to offload the club as he has exhausted his own financial clout (hence the Curran financial input situation), Clem wants to own the club and so does another interested party who are not connected to anyone who own the club currently.
Power can't sell the club due to Standings claim over the amount of shares/value that Standing says he owns and Power disputing that.
So it is at a stalemate it seems until the actual amount of the club that Power owns is made clear allowing Power to sell up and move ownership of the club to a new party/person.
Cannot comment on the first three para's but the fourth is as I also interpret things. |

It was a load of school kids for fucksake who clearly do not understand how serious things are. I really wouldn't let it bother you so much |

The whole thing was a shambles, albeit the most shocking thing is that an online hearing does not lock anyone who is not a party out of commenting or sharing video/screen. Oh and kudos for the Master in not sacking the whole thing off! |

It was kids.
They probably deserve a ticking off - but they were kids.
I was more disappointed at the lack of wit on display, although one did make me laugh when he mentioned his fish fingers.

I have not seen the statements of case in the proceedings but I seemed to recall that Standing wants 'his' 50% of the shares in Seebeck or Swinton (can't recall which) so someone else can hold them on trust , rather than Power. |

Doesn't Power also owe Andrew Black about £2m if he ever sells the club?

Would like to have seen the Mum who offered Pitta Bread to her little darling doing his "schoolwork" summoned to the screens. Cross examined by the Master and given an old-fashioned recital of Contempt of Court consequences.
