Nice big loans and somewhere around £2-3m to write off if they lose the court case/UWE doesn't work out.

Looks like agent McCombe is on the case:

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.

Leeds sounded dreadful and we still couldn't beat them. We sounded very poor in the 2nd half.

We need a Manager and we need him VERY quickly or we are heading straight back down.

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?

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.

wait to see if it was Flint or Burns

To be fair, under Cotts we beat Boro 1-0 away from home, so that was a better result!

Flint says

YES YES YES

I think we're doing alright

What - in the relegation places and unable to win any games?

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.

It's almost as if Cotts is aware of our criticisms, and is now at the stage that he has to act on it

West Brom were bang average.

Good job no one told Pulis we have 2 beasty CBs otherwise they wouldn't have kept plonking it on Flints head. 

Wonder if he will realise runners down the side are the way past us in time for the replay? 

Shhhhhhhhh

It's OK - we keep oppositions guessing until the last minute as to what our team and formation will be...err

Classic - no wonder he got booked!

Also what makes the moaning even more silly is our academy keeper played 45 minutes and Agard and Burns were brought on, everything most moaners have craved and still they moan, I don't get it, today was an opportunity to forget the woes of our season so far and let's be honest 2-2 away to a prem team must have surely have exceeded the expectations of most BCFC fans?.

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!

Why do you bother ?

I suppose at least you have a good laugh when we lose or concede a late equaliser.

Supporter ? Yeah, right.

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!

FA cup goals on BBC1 now

Blimey people on here giving city stick? We just got a replay against a proven premier league side. Obviously annoying to draw but we were always going to be under pressure.

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!

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

Cod-Gee-Dar scored for us according to the sky sports reporter - is this a new signing, playing up front with Kodjia?

Corner to West Brom.

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?

Ok at what time, and at what score will SC introduce his first sub?

 

I will start things off 2-0 to Reading 88 min.

Have optimism, it'll be 2-0 and the 86th minute

Come on City, get a winndr, and make sure

Trouble is, all they had to invest was about a tenner each.

Do you think he's counting our offer of a marble and a crayon as one of those 12?

In Cotts we trust.

Well, til the next match, anyway

That'll do!
