Agree with the above, it doesn't really matter who starts the thread. Did find it amusing in the past where there was a "Matchday thread" then an "Official Matchday thread" ! It's good that Havanatopia starts this, but like Ian said above anyone can start a thread

Easiest way I found it to set up a photo bucket account - it is free. On my mobile for example I select the picture I want to upload on here, then just copy the link it gives then hey presto picture appears

Assumedly this is a similar thing through all levels of court cases? So basically "someone" would have been there for Rovers?

People saying that it is a positive sign that Burges Salmon are taking this case forward, but there someone will ALWAYS take a case on (as an example even Lee Rigby's killers were represented in defence). Surely this is just on a larger scale ?

Am still waiting to see where my brick ends up !

From the thread linked above, this reply is brilliant ! I went to watch Bristol v stade francais a few years back. Arrived at the ground but when inside the seat for my ticket did not exist. My wife's seat was there but not mine. Seemed that it had been removed from the end of the row to facilitate space for a wheel chair. Due to the fact it was a sell out the stewards fetched me a stool from the bar to sit on. So maybe we should all bring a bar stool to. Lots available due to the amounts of pubs closing down. Would add to the ambience in my opinion!

Solves the dilemma of going to finals day or City match

Oh yeah - oops. Mixed up the failures

Has to be a wind up ! He was training with Forest last week - bit of a come down !

I'm intrigued how you define "showing them support"? Should we shop only in Tesco? The mess they are in now is down to their own mistakes, morally Sainsburys have wormed out of a contract, but it was widely recognised that they wanted out in 2013, for some reason Rovers were badly advised that their case was "watertight", but that is their problem !! Didn't see them trying to help us in the Ashton Vale fiasco, so feel no need to get involved in any way with this. JPT was an ok atmosphere but not anywhere near the best !! Shall we start a campain to get Hartlepool back as we had a brilliant atmosphere against them once in the past? Being an "old git" I'm sure that you will clearly remember all the underhand tricks Rovers pulled back in 1982, that reason alone is why I am more than happy to see them disappear. Personally, don't miss them or the rivalry. I expect we already have a whole generation of supporters that have not watched City have any rivalry with them

We need to have a competition who can get a photo of a rovers fan (wearing a shirt) in a Sainsburys store!

This fact has been lost on many !

Found this written on the Evening Post site, finally someone has some sense of it all !! http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/BRISTOL-ROVERS-DECISION/story-26891234-detail/story.html Mr Higgs has shown a total lack of respect for the fans. His tenure has been an unmitigated disaster. He has shown his derision on the lifeblood of the club, it's fans, by closing the official fans forum, diluted the share scheme by re-issuing shares to the point that 1 million of fans money doesn't even get a measly 2% of the grossly inflated valuation of the club. He has been very economical with the truth and perpetrated that this contract was watertight yet it has been shown, beyond any shadows of a doubt, that it was anything but. This was supposed to be Higgs area of expertise. He was supposed to be the man who knew, who is an expert at building and the regulations yet the contract was described as a colander rather than watertight. There was a definite cut off point and Sainsbury's made the club aware of its decision not to buy as far back as 2013. Higgs reiterated this watertight comment when interviewed by Geoff Twentyman, on radio Bristol. He even banned an ex director for questioning him and being critical, now proved right by the way, of Higgs and his reading of the facts Nick Higgs has shown himself to be so cut off from reality that it beggars belief. He has lost any credibility he may have had with this failure to deliver. The unprofessional manner of even draughtiness this contract shows him to be unable to delegate, to people who may have been able to put a contract out that was not open to interpretation and allowed Sainsbury's to wriggle out if it. Regardless of the very poor way Sainsbury's have conducted themselves, the fact remains that the law was and is with them. That is fact. That Higgs felt that if he shouted long enough and loud enough, that he would prevail just shows how very out of touch he really is. I think his refusal, even at this point, to accept defeat shows him to be incapable to run the club. Appeal would mean getting leave to appeal firstly and then the appeal itself. We are talking years and not Months plus huge sums of money to undertake this. His money is guaranteed back as he is using our only asset to find this. If he is allowed to pursue this then the clubs very existence is in jeopardy. He has lost any credibility, has no integrity and honour and is a tyrant. I use string and emotive words and it's necessary. An unmitigated disaster, no more, no less. He cannot be allowed to borrow even more, against the ground, to put on the roulette wheel of the justice system. He is single handedly taking the club to the brink of not existing. We have enabled him by not criticising and in not questioning with enough vigour. It's a sad day for the club and even sadder for us long suffering fans. One has to ask, is this man addicted to drama ? Seriously. The Wycombe saga made us a laughing stock and it was bad enough being relegated out if the FL. much of the goodwill that other clubs had for us is now gone. I see that any truly decent man would do his part in bringing in new investment and walking away. I saw today's verdict as the only way he could be partly forgiven, had the verdict gone our way but now this is done, I see a dead Duck chairman who has holed the good ship Rovers below the waterline yet he still doesn't accept the verdict of an high court judge. You cannot make someone buy something they no longer want to buy and they made it abundantly clear they no longer wanted to buy, a long time ago. So much has come to light now that it shows we were not told the truth and much was misrepresented to the point that one has to wonder about his mental health. Go now please Higgs. You have done enough damage and when you tell us that without you there would be no Rovers, you only inflame and already very hurt fan base.

What an absolute bellend ! Driving past a shop with some shite music playing - I bet that had everyone running for cover !!!

Two requests please; 1 Please nobody copy the whole of that damn long post again I think we all get the gist 2 This thread is about Bristol Rovers, NOT Greece!!

Reading all the comments about us and Sainburys before. Wouldn't it be a nice theory if the Sainsburys CEO was so annoyed that they never got their new superstore on the Ashton Gate site, so in return thought that they'd take their anger out on any other sporting team that tried to use them again !

Thing is, this is about plan C already ! What happened to the student flats at the Minimal, seems like only yesterday they were all off to Cheltenham to choose their season ticket seats whilst their ground was to be developed!!!

Just noticed the dark storm clouds forming behind him - the warning signs were there all along!

Just keep convincing all the deluded fans that everything is all ok up there ! Sometimes someone just has to hold their hands up and say, enough is enough . . .

Look I've found the Village idiot !

There is a guy on the Made in Bristol facebook page saying he's never going to shop in Sainsburys again, on the ITV Westcountry page says its' no problem as they'll be in league 1 next season playing City . . .. . nothing that odd with that maybe, but the idiot is pictured in a Liverpool kit !!!

Agree with you on this, it is pretty clear cut reading the pdf of the outcome

Hate seeing their name anywhere - but as 29AR alluded to, it's been one hell of a piss take the past few years!! For those of us around for many years, will remember being on the end of stick (1990's) so it's nice to enjoy their current demise
