If people are parking at Westfield then it may be easiest to get the Overground from Shepherds Bush Rail Station. It goes every 15mins and stops at West Brompton (4mins) and Imperial Wharf (7mins). Both of which are a 10min walk from the ground.
Will also save you some money compared to changing at Hammersmith as the circle and district line stations are separate and you would need to pay for 2 journeys.
Just make sure you go to the right station as there are 5 around Shepherds Bush!

Does anyone know what the deal is with the flexi-ticket? Just noticed it on there as I was about to join the Supporters Club.
Do you just get 5/10 vouchers which you can use for any games or do you have to specify in advance?

Those kick-off times look strange as well. 6pm on a Sunday? 7:30pm on a Saturday? Late kickoff on Sunday is due to final Premiership Games kicking off at 3pm.

If we did that then maybe they'd pay us for the sponsorship? ?

At this rate it won't be over until we're mathematically safe from relegation

It always seems to be the case that one party in a deal like this is more powerful than the other, I'll leave it to you to decide who's who. I'm sure that this clause was only ever in the contract to give Sainsburys a back door exit if they wanted it, it seems clear that this condition could never be met, if Sainsburys were keen to carry on they would have waived it as they did with the other 2 conditions that haven't been met however it always has given them an out if ever they wanted to take it.
I hope that we can achieve the result we want in the appeal or in our application and the QC who gives us a 60% chance gives me hope but I believe that we were subject to whether Sainsburys wanted this to happen or not and unfortunately they have pulled the rug from under us.
I for one do not blame Higgs for any of this, as above, we were always the little fish and this was only ever going to happen with the 100% backing of all parties from the start through to the conclusion

Not an awful lot but Sainsburys put in the initial application which is why they are appealing. We know that they will make a half assed attempt at it as they don't really want it but are contracted to undertake 'reasonable endeavours' so we are putting in our own application in case Sainsburys appeal is rejected Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Delivery times ... delivery times ... Does anyone know what are normal delivery times for other large Sainsbury stores e.g. the one at Filton/Fox Den Road or even nationally. In other words are Sainsbury asking for something which they do not ordinarily have at other locations? I believe these are unusually extended, according to Carstairs and his mob, the 2 nearest to this one have 7am till 9pm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sainsburys had to make the appeal as they put in the initial application which was rejected. Sainsburys however tried to delay making the appeal so that the deadline of 28 July would pass and they would be entitled to walk away from the contract owing us nothing. BRFC did all the work behind the appeal, paid for it and also offered to pay the £40k additional building costs to enhance the acoustics and therefore allow longer delivery hours. Sainsburys did nothing and Higgs got a consent order to force them to enter the appeal which BRFC will now fight. If BCC allow the appeal then it would appear that all conditions have been met and Sainsburys will be contractually forced to pay us £30m for the mem. If not, we are likely to get very little in the way of compensation, if anything at all. We are suing them on the basis that they have not undertaken reasonable endeavours to gain the planning permission to enable both parties to complete the contract and we are therefore suing them for the amount that it has cost us, legal fees + £200k that the price of the UWE build has gone up whilst Sainsburys have been delaying Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thanks for the clear response. Are you sure WE (BRFC) are the ones fighting the appeal?? If so that's good news as we will give everything and hopefully given the reports we've produced and the jobs it will create etc BCC will change their minds... I actually feel a little bit more positive if that's the case. As you say, if the appeal is upheld then Sainsburys are f**ked; they either build the store or don't but will owe us a very large amount of compo... is it possible they will HAVE to buy the land full stop regardless of whether or not they then choose to build a store on it? (i.e. it wouldn't be compo - it would be the actual purchase [and therefore the full amount]) This might not be over yet (completely I mean - even if the chances are slim)... Para 39 "By the terms of the consent order, the defendant (Sainsburys) also gave the claimant (BRFC) it's written consent for the claimant to submit its own section 73 application" You would hope that we have a fair amount of political support behind us now and if the acoustics report says that the modifications will ensure that there is no effect on residents then there is a good chance that it will be accepted. This is BCC however and nothing is that simple. The contract is a conditional sale and purchase agreement, I.e. The conditions must be met by a certain date and the vendor may then exercise their option to sell for £30m. According to the writ, we did not meet 3 of the onerous store conditions, Sainsburys didn't care about 2 of them and this is the last one to tick before we can exercise our option. If that is the case then there is no way that we will be going for compensation, we will want the whole selling price and shouldn't take a penny less. This is now down to the lawyers and is a matter of contract law, the fact that the relationship between us and Sainsburys has obviously broken down means nothing, if the contract is tight enough and BCC accept the appeal then we should be fine. Higgs made his money in construction, he should have dealt with things like this before and will have contracted a good legal team to deal with the contract. It's now time to wait for the appeal decision and hope that Ms Leslie can do something to help us out again and force it through Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Could it be that we have read to much into this and that bristol post are reporting on an old story? The dates do not add up and unlike the report, it seems that sainsbury have appealed and not brfc. Could it be that Higgs writ forced sainsbury into making an appeal and this is the unreported legal battles that the Sunday independant reported on in their piece a few weeks back? If so then it's my understanding that the ball is now firmly with BCC who need to allow for 2 extra hours delivery a day in order for sainsbury to be satisfied. Of course they may still not want to proceed but may find it impossible at this stage to find something in the contract that would allow them to back out without a heavy compensation claim. This may then make more economical sense for them to purchase the land and bank it if they don't want to build a store yet. Next few weeks we will know either way as if it's dead I expect uwe to announce something pretty soon. Sainsburys had to make the appeal as they put in the initial application which was rejected. Sainsburys however tried to delay making the appeal so that the deadline of 28 July would pass and they would be entitled to walk away from the contract owing us nothing. BRFC did all the work behind the appeal, paid for it and also offered to pay the £40k additional building costs to enhance the acoustics and therefore allow longer delivery hours.
