Kid in the Riot Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 While you were right about most things kid didn't you say that rovers had a strong case and win? Is it the same person giving you info as that? I talk to many people... I said that people working close to the case felt Rovers had a very good chance of winning, that Sainsbury's were trying to worm out of the contract (which they patently were)... Even if Rovers lose their appeal I think they'll have "options" that will certainly ensure they won't go under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite Simply the best atmosphere I have even been in during a football match and I am an old git. Do we really want to see that rivalry die. Sainsbury have sh1t on rovers as they have shit on numerous others, how would you feel if the boot was on the other foot. All this guff of we hate the rovers, the gas took the piss in our hour of need is not better than play ground politics. It's about time we showed them some support.

BrightCiderLife Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I have also heard that this won't be the end of the Gas as other investors are interested in the club but seemingly not while Higgs is there. The UWE ground is his project and almost exclusively determines the value of the club. I wouldn't be surprised to see Higgs appeal as a make or break situation and if he loses hang up his boots so to speak and sell the club, if he wins then he will no doubt be heralded as a Gas hero along with the glorious likes of... erm .... umm well there must be someone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Just can't see how they can appeal. My understanding is you can't appeal a decision because you think it's wrong. You have to show the judge was wrong and with that clause that the judge picked up on I just cant see how Rovers can appeal that as it seems pretty clear tbh.

Rovers signed the contract knowing the conditions. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm sure I've read that it was Rovers who acted in bad faith and not Sainsburys. This^^ Rovers signed a contract knowing that Sainsburys had included conditions giving themselves a way out, yet still decided to sign. Whilst Sainsburys may not have acted morally right (in bad faith), they were legally right; as confirmed by the judge. Unfortunately for Rovers this is the business world and companies have no objection to reneging (legally or illegally) on deals. Rovers wont be the first and they wont be the last to have their fingers burnt. Welcome to the real world Rovers. Shit happens. Get over it and move on with Plan B.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 but an appeal process could drag on for months and months couldn't it? And didn't taking their eye off the ball contribute to their relegation? Even Toni the till hadn't done a quick 'just in case' budget for that scenario - they were all working on UWE. Madness and not in the best interests of their football club imo. SL could have gone on fighting the retards but he knew when to cut his loses and walk away.

Long live the rivalry that I grew up with. You never know how much you miss things until it's gone, it's then too late. 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 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But basically it tells us that the "shard" like feature which was incorporated in the original plans for the UWE stadium has been removed as part of the redesign necessary to bring capacity up to 30 000 which was requested by the new Chinese investors which Nicholas has found.
