Not sure if this has been mentioned before but, I think they are now definitely trying to involve the local authority. There have been a few references to how good this will be to the South Glos area and discussions with the local council. If I was a resident of South Glos I'd be posing questions to my council officers and councillors. Typical of this club to try and get somebody else to supply them with the stadium "they deserve". They tried it with BCC in the nineties and even formed their own political party to fight against BCC at the local elections, in an attempt to force the council to get them their ground.

This bloke does like to be associated with the big men of football. Whatever attracted him to BRFC, ah! Nick Higgs.

Almost in a nutshell and very true. Though there are many things missing from the long list of misdemeanours, from top to bottom and many in the middle.

Back to sell out Rovers. Why now? Why did Higgs and co sell just before the Sainsbury's outcome? Were the others advised/forced to go along with the sale? How much did they get, close to their value? Did they fear the outcome? Has the loan been repaid or any other debts? Presumably directors have written theirs off in the share sale/value. Has Al-Qadi gambled on winning the Sainsbury fight? If lost, will he bail out? If they win, will he bail out? Will he/the family, bankroll the club without the new stadium? Already stated it's crucial to their business future. Too many questions, and the media are still quoting them as having had a massive cash injection, (ITV news tonight). The only outlay is on shares purchased. Looks like a gamble on both parts. The last time Higgs sold shares, it was Cowlin's shares. They had risen sharply in value after they were awarded the memorial ground redevelopment contract. He subsequently sold his shares for £11m to Balfour Beatty, presumably on the strength of that, and then later cancelled the contract in favour of the UWE plan. I bet Al- Qadi would crap himself with that knowledge.

Did he manage to get one of the opposition sent off?

Can I have a go? I will anyway. Answers 1. No, he said they'd work to make the club debt free over a period of time. No guarantees. 2. They'll take out another loan. 3. They haven't. The new owner said they'd have another look at the deal to make sure it's the right one for the club/new ownership. It means they'll pull out. 4. Sainsbury's. The cash point machine at Winterstoke Road. 5. He wasn't told that, they're going to develop their own, just as they have in the past. 6. He spent it on his season ticket at Stamford Bridge. 7. He didn't want to upset any more of his team sponsors customers, with his obnoxious drunken rantings in the local boozer. I don't suppose that much has changed really.

And obviously get yet another opposition player red carded. How many times does that happen?

Is this why the Al-Qadi family have brought Steve Hamer in as their man at the helm? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/businessclub/10362863/White-collar-fraudsters-offered-jail-survival-tips.htmlWhite collar fraudsters offered jail survival tips Former Swansea City chairman Steve Hamer has teamed up with a convicted fraudster to launch Prison Consultants, a service advising white collar criminals on how to cope with being locked up - the first business of its kind in Britain. He's not averse to a little controversy himself, after overseeing a poor financial period which resulted in his forced removal as chairman, prior to Swansea seeking a Company Voluntary Arrangement. He was then denied access to the Swansea boardroom while attending a match against local rivals (Cardiff),when he was in the company of Peter Risdale.

As I am now a wealthy oil baron, I am willing to fund your court costs against Mr Okobe should you decide to take the matter further. Just send me your bank details and I'll deposit enough money into your account for your expenses as well. PS. don't send them in an open reply, PM me the details so nobody can see them and exploit you.

Pha! Your helicopter won't have any oil, as I'll have it all. They sent me a sample with the share certificates. Admittedly, it was a little runny and a funny shade of yellow but, hey, a sample's a sample. I think it was crude oil.

I think you've been conned. You can't own 80% of the Nigerian oil industry as I've already bought the shares. They amount to, 65% from the crown Prince, 25% from the crown Princess and the other 7.5% from the crown post office of Nigeria. Double check who the email was from as I've already got the share certificates.

Probably knew each others cases so well prior to the hearing, that there was no need for extra representations or questions on the third day. Sounds as if the thieves are hoping that the judges will see Sainsbury's as not playing the game and award in the thieves favour or, Sainsbury's used the law as was intended, covered their backs, and because of delays and the thieves trying to change the contract, upholding the original decision.

They won't, it's all hyped up to portray the thieves as the good guys. That's why NH made the recent statements in the hope of somehow pumping up the pressure and influencing the judges (lying worked with AV), while also portraying Sainsbury's as the bad guys for halting an improving club on the up. It also makes the headlines more dramatic if they lose the appeal. At the end of the day the media get a good story.

Monday 32nd January.

Don't take the piss.

They are known as the family club. That refers to the family from hell.

Woman in a taxi arrives at her destination and is horrified to find she has no money on her person. She offers payment in kind to the driver, who asks her what she proposes. She removes her knickers and shows him her fanny, to which he replies, "have you got anything smaller"?

These latrines are more public than I remember, look at all that shyte!

Correct but, would the removal of the existing car park have a detrimental effect on the licence for use as a sports stadium? I use the term stadium loosely.

His misses doesn't look bad mind. Nice long legs, nice eyes, but, why the green hat? It doesn't go with the rest of her attire. Perhaps the nutter who hurriedly held his scarf up for fear of being seen, told her what to wear. He plainly has no sense, whether fashion or otherwise.I suppose you have to feel sorry for the poor bugger, that's the closest he'll ever get to a stadium in Bristol, and only down the road from a useful supermarket, to boot.

I cannot divulge my ironing processes, or the machine I use.

Agreed, there's one crease about 8 inches long and two inches wide that needs pressing, any mother in law would faint.

Not sure if he funded the application for a TVG but, he put his name as the applicant and he was a Rovers supporter. He later withdrew his application but the TVGers argued that it was after all, a joint application, which I believe wasn't allowed in law, but then suddenly was.

There was a Rovers supporting solicitor employed regularly by BRFC. He was based in Queen Square, asked numerous FOI questions of the council and fed the opposition with as much information as was available, in an attempt to hinder both the Ashton Vale development and the Ashton Gate superstore. Most of my info is now gone and I have spent too much of my life already searching for evidence of the skulduggery, which undoubtedly was used against BCFC and it's plans by all and sundry, scratching each others backs, supporting each others causes for their own selfish ends.
