Can we go to a court of law on the basis that the rules in a sporting event are unfair or not enforced fairly?

If we do not go to a court of law who do we appeal to? The FA?

Genuine questions. I do not know.

My gut reaction is that we could sue for loss of earnings. We could argue that we'd have had higher crowds, better season ticket sales, higher sponsorship, more prize money, later entry into FA Cup etc if we'd been in Conference North. If the Conference (or FA) have been negligent in their application of their rules then they are responsible for this loss.

I'd imagine we would be making a claim to The Court of Arbitration for Sport, but I'm honestly not sure.

Has such a thing been done before? Would this set a precedent.

Football teams would be claiming against referees that make bad desicions that result in them losing revenue.

I'm all for us getting anything but I feel that it would probably be another wasted £20K on legals and more bad publicity people seeing "BUFC" and "Courts" in the same sentance even though we would be the plaintiff this time.

The B-Ark / Two from four........

.....will today get relegated from the prem, which two. I think Middlesbrough need a miracle so they are gone, and even though I can see Sunderland being on the wrong end of a good old thrashing at home to Chelsea I think they are safe because I cannot see both Hull & Newcastle winning.

So we have one from two, Hull or Newcastle to fill the last relegation spot. Hull at home to a newly crowned hung-over champions who will have a bit more than one eye on a little match in Rome next week. I think Hull will get atleast a point today and maybe take all three.  I cannot see an injury struck Newcastle getting anything today at Villa Park, and even if they do they must get more than Hull.

With the future connection between BUFC Centre Of Exellence and the very good academy of Hull I think we all should today be if full support of Hull and cheer the Magpies on to the Championship.
