How would announcing the decision on a match day give the opposition grounds for asking for a revue.........ben andrews' girlfriend said:

Another £3 and another 10 mins on this blasted hotel dial up!
Just been sitting on a fell overlooking Derwent Water and the rain stopped and a thin sun began to shine ... and I thought .... shit, I had better check NSC!
I agree with a lot of people about not counting chickens - we have all been through too much to dare do that.
Let me allay some concerns. This information has come from a good friend and a lawyer (canot say any more without giving him/her away) who is also a football fanatic (tho not a Brighton fan). He/she has been VERY close to the civil service legal team giving ODPM advice on the Falmer issue. I trust him/her implicitly and he/she is VERY certain (something lawyers never are usually!). He took time out last night to ring me to tell me the news - I had not gone hunting for it.
I tend to think that EARLY next week, will probably mean Tuesday (or poss Wednesday) rather than Monday for obvious strategic reasons.
I must finally add that this source IS NOT the same source as last time (he was also spot on) and that first source is meanwhile scurrying around Whitehall to give total corroboration to this news.

Dunno - but that was the reason spouted by many of why he wouldnt say it at palace / the march / a game at withdean - why saying it on a matchday be any different?

I think it was all to do with JP coming out at the conference or on the day of the march and delivering the news everyone wanted to hear. It would appear that he was being unduly influenced by the political opportunity.
I don't think a match day would cause the same issue.
Roll on Monday.

OTLW, assuming this is all correct (and I do trust you), I think you have achieved LEGEND status as the man who broke the most important news in the Albions history. Good work fella.

How appropriate: "Gayboys' stadium announcement leaked by transgendered lawyer!" Unfortunately, cover blown in last sentence, OTLW!

I don't expect anything to do with the timeing of any announcement of a decision, or even that decision being leaked, would be grounds for a judicial review. My understanding is that judicial reviews are only about 'how' decisions are arrived at.
And I'll not be celebrating anything until I've heard the official news. Does this thread now mean that the board won't melt when it is announced?

I confidently expect that NSC on Tuesday will be mostly about the performance at Hillsborough and the abysmal ignorance of Sky's commentary team when it comes to knowing anything about Seb Carole and Alex Frutos.Curious Orange said:

That's not ruining it Marc, that's a great suggestion.
Where though? It would need to be a big place to fit us all in or are we all going to our favourite hostelries?

I'll drink a ton of guiness down the PILOT if I had to celebrate a possible yes
