"There is little doubt that the Agreement is tortuously, laboriously and in some respects badly, drafted. It makes any draftsman itch to have a try at it. However I have to decide what it means." Watertight indeed. Edit: Ill refer you Tom to a big thread about moderators ;-)

For the legal eagles to peruse and report back to us simpletons... https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/sainsbury-v-bristol-rovers-judgment.pdf

But does Bristol really need 2 20k+ stadiums? With 27k AG and a new arena you have to ask yourself do we need a 3rd venue? I agree Bristol has been severely held back but i fail to see really what 2 20k+ stadiums unless both teams are playing at least championship football.

I think we all know they dragged their heels and didn't do much to aid with the process, i'm pretty sure Sainsbury's basically admitted in court they could've told rovers much earlier they wanted out etc etc. The rovers statement (albeit slated to their side) states that Sainsbury's acted in bad faith and i'd probably agree. However.... That said i'm not arguing they did anything illegal and a judge has ruled they didn't but its an example of the moral flexibility of big corporations who are only looking after share price and not doing whats 'right' or 'fair'. As i said, hilarious who it happened too!

First, i think its appalling that big business can treat the little guys this way. Second, couldn't have happened to a nicer club and if it had to be anyone i'm glad it was them.
