sglosbcfc Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think it will be a draw. Sainsburys did things Rovers didn't like and Rovers did things Sainsburys didnt like. Cant see either of them winning. Does it go to extra time or straight to penalties in the event of a draw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTR Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Does it go to extra time or straight to penalties in the event of a draw? Hopefully extra time,with a whole lot of added time for time wasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 It certainly won't be a 'not sure' that's a given, but it might not be as cut and dried as a yes or no. You are quite right if you look at it black and white, based upon reports, Sainsburys brought the case and asked the court to confirm the contract has lapsed. But I thought I read that Rovers have launched a counter claim for damages in the instance that the contract is not binding. If that is the case then it brings in the wider issues around conduct in the instance the contract doesn't exist. That's why I'm not sure there is too much really in Sainsburys taking the case and not Rovers. All that really means is Sainsburys filed their papers before Rovers did, not to be confused with Rovers not suing Sainsbury's. Why Sainsbury's filed first might be something of interest... Ah OK, I didn't realise there was a counter claim, although it makes sense in the circumstances. So it turns out the law isn't all that straightforward then. Who knew?!

cityexile Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Any local pubs showing the game live? Gut feel on this one will be some compensation to Rovers, but way below the cost of the ground. Complete guess, and we will see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 You little git. 36 posts in and you break the Gem. Good spot Monday, Court 16, 10:30am for anyone local and interested. Decision should appear on www.bailii.org , hopefully asap but it can take minutes, hours, or even days to appear. Will it be live on Sky?

Guest Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Will it be live on Sky? It was originally scheduled but once Sky found out Leeds weren't playing they pulled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Might be worth adding that if anyone claims to be 'ITK' between now and Monday it's probably a very safe assumption that they are not. anyone got an octopus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Odds certainly are with Sainsburys. All Rovers can hope for is some compensation but it won't be much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete guess, and we will see! I am pretty sure that under contract law you can only claim your losses so it will be all or nothing for Rovers and if it's nothing then Sainsburys will have won and can claim their losses in court costs against Rovers and they don't come cheap.

samo II Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 So, apologies for asking something that is likely covered somewhere in this thread, but if this whole thing goes against the blue few on Monday; what is the likely impact on them as a club? I figured it might be good to get some kind of approximated summary here now that everything is reaching a head. Guessing it's probably not a apocalyptic as suggested (and perhaps hoped) by some, but equally I'm aware that they seem to have placed a significant number of their eggs into this basket, so am interested in how that plays once the judgement is handed down. Sorry if it has been covered; just a lot of (very interesting, don't get me wrong) legal information here, so wondered about the impact beyond that.

redfred Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Fingers crossed they go bust, then bang goes their only 'jibe' BCFC82LTD True, but that jibe has been easily countered by the presentation of the fact that we have won more since 1982 than they have since 1883.
