Kid in the Riot

Plan b is getting housing on part of the Mem car park as I stated a few weeks ago. Then I'd guess trying to flog the rest of the site for retail. Would still surely give them a shortfall in funds to move to UWE unless of course they get investors on board.

Not expecting another goalfest tonight. Rosler has really tightened Leeds up as their first few results demonstrate: 1-1, 1-1, 0-0. They had just 1 shot on target in their drab goalless draw at Reading, but on the flip side they've looked difficult to break down. Chris Wood will be leading the line, hopefully Flint can do a job on him - good test for Flint. Despite a fair amount of positivity after Saturday's performance I thought we looked porous at the back, Brentford looked capable of scoring on every attack. 11 v 11 personally I don't think we'd have neccessarily won - it could've finished 4 - 4. You know what to expect with Leeds, they're going to be a big, strong team. Our record against them last time we were in the C'ship was absolutely hopeless (played 6, lost 6). That said, I think the last time I saw Leeds at AG in a midweek game we beat them in the Coca Cola League Cup 2-1. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink scored then got sent off. Leeds line-up that night included Martyn, Bowyer, Wetherall, Radebe and Alfe Inge Haaland! Was 1997 - Goodridge and oooo Shaun Taylor for us! 1-1 tonight.

Plan B has been engaged...watch this space (probably for a couple of months yet, mind )

Unfortunately most of their usually intellectually challenged fans on 'Gas Shat' seem to have realised this... If this happened Basement Rovers would effectively be renting off a charity. They will have finally found their level...

Car park sold for housing to fund a new stand and you'd be on the money I reckon...

Absolutely right. I mean in reality I would suggest the project has been dead for a while but that's the first time I've seen it "confirmed". Be interested to know where The Post got this from. Could the appeal court judge not order performance of contract?

And having visited Burges Salmon's offices at Temple Quay several times, it is a lovely building inside and the canteen is spot on!

A bought shares in Bristol City a few years back, what a waste of time and money that was...

If you say so... There isn't a shortage of investors lining up to purchase English football clubs last time I checked. Clearly I'm not saying they're some outstanding investment opportunity but sellable, absolutely.

Sorry I could've saved you some time...I am well aware of the above. What I was getting at was people casting aspersions on Burges Salmon giving out the legal advice whereas ultimately it would have been the barrister they would've had a con with who'd have ultimately dished out the "meaty" legal advice ie as to whether an appeal was worth pursuing and if it was what kind of chance they have of winning. Despite how much we lament them and however bleak the outlook may look from the outside, they'd clearly be a decent proposition to onlooking investors. I don't think Higgs is telling fibs when he says he's had plenty of calls from potential interested parties.

Well obviously the club need a solicitor to instruct counsel but the real meaty advice comes from your barristers.

Rovers legal team for this case are David Matthias QC and George Mackenzie (junior) of Francis Taylor Building based in London, not Burges Salmon. Watola is hardly going to say in a public interview that BRFC have a "plan B" or how they are funding their legal costs. Part of their case is based on the fact they are skint and will be in trouble if they don't move to UWE. Therefore, in public they are going to play on this. As I've said previously, they have a "plan B" and maybe even a "plan C" for that matter. Talk of administration is way off the mark.

I can confirm it is not Christopher Biggins.

I talk to many people... I said that people working close to the case felt Rovers had a very good chance of winning, that Sainsbury's were trying to worm out of the contract (which they patently were)... Even if Rovers lose their appeal I think they'll have "options" that will certainly ensure they won't go under.

With respect, he wouldn't know what I know. Don't get me wrong they are in a very bad place financially and Higgs is being irresponsible, naive at best, but there is light at the end of the tunnel even if they lose in the court of appeal. People predicting this is the beginning of the end for the sags will be disappointed I think...

No it won't. It'll be the end for Higgs though if they lose. Yes, hence they are appealing.

Rovers are definitely going to appeal the decision (inside info).

Having given this a lot of thought I've come up with: And this is what she said "#### off!"

Para 27 of the judgement makes interesting reading: "Watertight", eh?

"Bristol Rovers is a fantastic football club, with a proud tradition and a fan-base envied by dozens of clubs higher up the football league, and which deserves a home that is fit-for-purpose.

Who exactly are these dozens of clubs higher up the league that are envious of Roverzzz prowed tradition and fan base?? They are basically implying that they have a prouder tradition and better fan base than every club in League One! Laughable. It's this kind of arrogance that will no doubt see them waste further money on an appeal, despite the fact that very few succeed in the Court of Appeal.

Wow, didn't see that coming! Goodbye Bristol Rovers!
