  1. Sorry if posted elsewhere - Sags accounts if you want a laugh. http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/5910/accounts-june-2015?page=4 Nice big loans and somewhere around £2-3m to write off if they lose the court case/UWE doesn't work out.
  2. Looks like agent McCombe is on the case: Read more: http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Judge-fundamental-error-refused-hold-Sainsbury-s/story-28606561-detail/story.html#ixzz3yO8HV2fb A judge made a "fundamental error" when she refused to hold supermarket giants, Sainsbury's, to the £30 million purchase of Bristol Rovers' Memorial Stadium. The club says Sainsbury's welched on the deal which was to pave the way for Rovers' move to a state-of-the-art new ground on University of the West of England's Frenchay campus. Rovers narrowly lost the argument in the High Court last year, but is now battling to reverse that result at the Court of Appeal. Opening the case, barrister, David Mathias QC, said: "Bristol Rovers continues its fight to hold Sainsbury's to the sale of the Memorial Stadium" He insisted that the supermarket chain was "under a continuing obligation" to go through with the deal when it unlawfully pulled out. The QC said the club had "very nearly succeeded" in winning its case before High Court judge, Mrs Justice Proudman, last year. It only lost on a fine point of contractual interpretation and Mr Mathias said it would not take much for the club to be "home and dry". "We say the judge's conclusion was wrong; we ask this court to reverse it and allow the appeal, obliging Sainsbury's to complete the purchase of the Memorial Stadium", he added. ........ The hearing before Lords Justice Laws, McCombe and Floyd continues and is expected to last three days.

  3. If we don't get a new manager soon, we will be back down. Then I think we should approach a manager with a proven record of getting promoted from league 1, some like Steve Cotterill?
  4. The club immediately sought right to challenge the decision and have now confirmed the appeal, which is likely to take three days, will be heard on January 26 or January 27, 2016.

  5. To be fair, under Cotts we beat Boro 1-0 away from home, so that was a better result!
  6. yep, the board and fans have given Cotts enough of a chance to sort things out, it looks like he has no ideas how to.
  7. It's almost as if Cotts is aware of our criticisms, and is now at the stage that he has to act on it
  8. Shhhhhhhhh It's OK - we keep oppositions guessing until the last minute as to what our team and formation will be...err
  9. I'm not sure there are really too many moaners tonight. Having an initial reaction of disappointment is natural given the timing of the equaliser. As you say, we got subs on earlier than normal, we held a Prem team at their place. And our fans who made the trip made laods of noise and really got behind the team - well done all!
  10. To be honest, you either have to laugh or cry when something like this happens - injury time goal done us yet again, it's almost unbelievable!
  11. It's the way it happened - another injury time goal conceded. We would have a very different reaction here to a 2-2 draw if we had scored the injury time goal to draw! It's a funny old game!
  12. It's all part of the plan. A replay means extra revenue, so we can offer more to buy players who don't want to join us? Sh1t
  13. Cod-Gee-Dar scored for us according to the sky sports reporter - is this a new signing, playing up front with Kodjia?
  14. Should n't this be on the transfer rumours thread ? Bloody typical. I heard on the radio, about 20 seconds into the game that it was 'Corner to City'. Yet again someone has come along and beaten us to it. Probably couldn't agree personal terms?
  15. Come on City, get a winndr, and make sure JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET JET doesn't score!
  16. Do you think he's counting our offer of a marble and a crayon as one of those 12?
