FARMER Arnold Davenport was due to appear before a county court judge today after being served a writ for defying eviction.
The Harwood man has been battling to stay in Nab Gate Farm and staged a rooftop protest 12 days ago. He was due to appear at Bolton County Court.
Supporters of Mr Davenport are to hold a public meeting in the Nab Gate Pub, Stitch-Mi-Lane, at 8pm.
They are also angry that land which used to be farmed by Mr Davenport could become an extension of Breightmet Golf Club.
They are to march through the village on August 3.
