The Los Angeles Dodgers season-ticket holders are continuing their fight to have a say in the team's bankruptcy hearing.
Special Section: The Changeup
The group filed a motion Tuesday with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware seeking the court's appointment of an official committee, said Robbin L. Itkin, an attorney representing the ticket holders.
"There should be an official committee of season ticket holders who can represent the interests of the approximately 17,000 season ticket holders in the bankruptcy cases," said Itkin in an e-mail to NBC LA.
This is the second attempt at representation in the case. The last request was denied by a judge on Sept. 14, said Itkin.
"The reality is that the debtors have opposed the basic desire of its most loyal and financially invested fans on whose goodwill they are dependent -- the season ticket holders -- to have a seat at the table in this reorganization," wrote the group in its latest motion (PDF).
The Dodgers filed for bankruptcy protection on June 27, blaming Major League Baseball for refusing to approve a multibillion-dollar TV deal with Fox Sports that owner Frank McCourt was counting on to keep the troubled franchise afloat and meet payroll.
